5.0 out of 5 stars Jimmy Page: Tangents Within A Framework, September 5, 2004

This review is from: Jimmy Page: Tangents Within a Framework (Paperback)

The previous reviewer probably didn't understand the title, that's all. This book is fascinating! It's about the music of Jimmy Page...where he got his ideas from and how he put it all together. The book also lets the reader learn about the tangents he would go off on during concerts but he always kept it within the framework of the song he was playing. He and Led Zeppelin were best known for their improvisational skills on stage. This book tells it all and has a ton of great pictures in it!! Well worth the price of admission on this book!!

This book is THE go to book to learn about jimmy's mindset and his music. It is not about his lifestyle, but rather about his music and his inspirations. Definitely worth the price.
