How does he do it? This iconic shot of Jimmy Page doesn't tell us how he plays like he does, but it does tell us a few other things. Imagine yourself grabbing that Les Paul, slinging it down near your knees somewhere and rocking back like this. Now take it off and see if you can still sway as far.

Ask yourself as you strap your guitar on:

    What difference does the weight of the guitar make?
    What difference does the position of the guitar make?
