Sounds like you have achieved a lot in music. Led Zep is a good inspiration to have as they covered a lot of styles. I play some of their songs, but haven't got into the alternative tunings Page used. It's a shame he doesn't seem to play any more in public.

Rock on!

Thanks, man! I appreciate your feedback! You should really get into the alternate tunings Page used at some point in your life, more specifically drop D (also dubbed 'Celtic tuning') and drop C. Very hard at first, but very handy afterwards in your musical arsenal. Once you get the hang of drop D, drop C won't be so intimidating. I will wait until I will lay my hands on a Fender Hummingbird to be able to play many majestic folk melodies. I really need a powerful guitar with powerful new strings to be able to do alternate tunings at my will, otherwise after one or two such exercises all of the strings will go haywire. It happened to me before with my acoustic Harley Benton. I tried to do America's 'A Horse With No Name' in the original alternate tuning but I was very stupid at first (most likely) and I tuned down the A string so low it went off the body almost in my face. However, as dangerous as what that might have been, it was a lesson learned nevertheless, believe me! :D

I have a nice Taylor acoustic, but it's usually in standard tuning. I do some songs with drop D. I've also played some slide where I used an open E tuning. Beyond that it is a whole area I have not explored much. I tend to feel I have enough to do learning standard chords.

Good work then. I plan on buying on Ovation Adamas as well when I'll have the money for it. It's going to be plenty of fun for me to play on one of Roy Harper's favourite models. What a monument of a man... To have influenced so many guitarists along the passing of time. I would rank him second in my list of most awesome guitarists after Bert Jansch. He's sort of an acoustic folk rock Hank Marvin, though the comparison might sound tremendously redundant to some (they are both individually great).
