The 1960’s is rightfully celebrated as the decade in which the Guitar-god was born… From Eric Clapton, to Jeff Beck, to Jimmy Page… Each of these musical wizards achieved royal status at least in part through their membership within the British Blues-Rock Elite bastion known as “The Yardbirds.” But when a then 24 year-old London session guitarist Jimmy Page recruited Robert Plant, John Bonham and John Paul Jones to fulfill unfinished Yardbirds tour dates in Scandinavia in 1968 - after the sudden departure of original founding members - “The New Yardbirds” were born… And the rest is history… The Flying Yardbird meticulously recreates the heavier side of things on those early classic Led Zeppelin records. Think of it as the air bridge between the Blues and Hard Rock and Heavy metal born out of the 60’s and early 70’s… Whether yearning for a “Whole Lotta Love,” or feeling “Dazed and Confused”… If you are in pursuit of that unrivaled Zoso Fuzzy goodness, or are looking to crank up your Blues game into psychedelic overdrive, look no further than The Flying Yardbird! An invaluable tool in any guitarists arsenal, voiced specifically to capture the unmistakable glorious tones of the Led Zeppelin canon, it’s versatility allows you to replicate everything from the sounds of late 60’s/early 70’s Jeff Beck, to Eric Clapton’s distinctive “woman tone,” all the way through to some of John Mayer’s most recent ambitious and uniquely textured solo tones.
