Akio Sakurai spends hours trying to replicate the Led Zeppelin guitarist’s tone in 1972 in recently released film
he made the film after coming across a YouTube of Sakurai performing “Rain Song: 1979 Version.” “Instantly I was blown away — the outfit, the moves, the feel, and most importantly the playing, it was such an incredible evocation of the magic of Mr. Page. I was hooked,” he says. “After a few more clicks, and seeing him recreate ’70, ’73, and ’77, I found myself typing a breathless email to his Japanese website: ‘Who are you, and what is your story?’ And so it began.
Another clip shows Sakurai testing out a Les Paul, playing some of Page’s most famous licks for guitar amplifier expert Toshio Suzuki. Sakurai offers Suzuki his thoughts on how to make the amp sound more like Page’s tone in 1973. As Suzuki works, Sakurai digresses and starts talking about how the 1972 sound is slightly different than 1973. Suzuki listens patiently and pulls out vintage electrical capacitors that he thinks would emulate the sound. Both men seem unperturbed by the arduous task.
