The band was formed by Page shortly after his original group, The Yardbirds, split up on an American tour. Page returned to his hometown of London hoping to form a new Yardbirds from scratch. John Paul Jones, the bassist/keyboardist responded to one of Page's newspaper ads and Page discovered vocalist, Robert Plant in Birmingham at a cafe where Plant was singing blues. Plant then invited his old hometown friend, John Bonham to join the band. Even after the band was formed they were the "New Yardbirds."

Moddish mentioned that Page originally wanted Keith Moon to join the New Yardbirds, this was true, but Keith didn't join because he thought the band would "sink like a lead zeppelin" thus the new name, Led Zeppelin...so in your face Keith Moon!

I usually print the songs individually. Just click on the song, go to the toolbar on the right, find the box that has icons for full screen, email song, and print. Click print, and it should print it  in excellent format that does not contain ads etc. good luck, hope this helps.

kahuna has a very good point! if you do happen to find a problem in your setup do not try to fix it yourself!
take it down to your local shop and ask their opinion and have them fix it, unless its something you are sure you can easily fix yourself.

wow, awesome song, when i first saw it i was like, great he did some highway to hell remix, but its really good, rock on man.

#1: I like the Behringer.

#2: You can plug an acoustic-electric into an electric amp, but you are not going to get that full-bodied acoustic sound.  Electric amps are made to distort sounds. You can plug an electric into an acoustic-electric amp, but, you are going to have a cleaner sound some musicians don't prefer for an electric guitar.  If you want to see for yourself, go down to your local shop and plug an electric into an acoustic-electric amp or vice versa, you'll instantly notice the difference.

#3: it depends on what kind of amp you get, if you toggle the controls around enough, you can probably get the sound you're looking for, although acoustic-electric amps tend to have distortion knobs similar to electric amps.  The only difference is that it does not distort as much

reasoning: try this, finger a chord shape, any one, on an electric without plugging it into an amp. strum. Hard to hear isn't it? This is because the sound is meant to be pushed through different parts of the amp (becoming a bit distorted along the way) then pushed out into the air.
now, finger a chord shape on an acoustic, again with no amp. strum. louder isn't it? The acoustic guitar is made to amplify it's own sound without the help of an amp, thus the sound hole.

sorry to ramble, but my guitar teacher gave me a huge lecture on this and I'm happy to share it with someone

anyways good luck, hope I helped!

It kind of makes sense. lol, I have written many a song that doesn't make any sense. it means its coming straight from your heart, the hard part about songwriting is taking those words from your heart and getting them to make sense to everyone else. keep writing!

I have a squier tele, an I prefer it to the fender tele, i think the tones a little better.

rj, u bring up another point, guitar, like many forms of art, is stable.  I forget who said this, but i know someone once said that the arts are man's way of coping with the world.  Which is so true, I think the world would be a lot more sad/angry if it weren't for music.

Altex: its a real tele, its a squier a brand branched off of fender.  i'm not a big fan of Fender Teles, I think squiers have much better tone.

moddish: It really surprises me how some people can begin to play guitar/bass then just give up on it! I've been playing for a year and  a half, and I've learned so much that if i were to give up now it would seem like such a waste of all those hours of practice.

patrick: wow, i had no idea so many guys started to get chicks... come to think of it guitar players are a little more attractive, more sensitive i think.

no problem
rock on.

guitar hero is kind of lame. Yet, there are so many people who play it. (and think its just as cool as real gutiar) there's a guitar hero tournament at this concert hall not to far away, im thinking about showing up with my tele, and being like... get a life, play REAL guitar.

Yea, Ethan, I replied.
