Saw the term in a Led Zeppelin book and, well, I'm clueless.
Teamwork- A few harmless flakes working together can unleash an avalanche of destruction.
Page was pretty good at smiling while playing. I guess they would be having so much fun sometimes they would just smile. That is the only thing I can think of.
It is a small world for metal fanatics. I welcome you fellow musicians, especially the metalheads!
Are you sure it says "smile" and not "simile?"
"Simile" is often used (in guitar sheet music) to indicate that while they've given you a basic strumming pattern, in the actual recording the pattern will often contain slight and subtle changes in it. The "basic" measure, for instance, might have two eighth notes, four sixteenth notes, two eighth notes and four sixteenth notes while a "simile" measure will have two eighth notes, four sixteenth notes, two eighth notes and an eighth note and two sixteenth notes for the last beat.
Hope this helps.
Peace
:oops: I must be getting old! And, I need to use my glasses more often!
I'm sure you are correct David. I'll check when I get home, just for my own sanity. I'm sure it just a senior moment.

I thought it meant that mentally disturbed grin that suddenly appears on my face when practicing for too long.

I thought it was a slang term for bending a note or something, which could also be a frown.

Isn't that the feed line for the old joke - "That's no PORCH, Cat, that's a FERRARI..." Oh, wait! You mean the VERANDAH. :wink:

More views off the verandah. Definitely a good place to relax and put on a guitar smile. :)
Guitar smile? Could this be the rictus that one's face twists into when getting carried away whilst playing? A good example would be to watch Carlos Santana's face while he's mid-solo - his face is so contorted he looks like he's in agony sometimes. I'd post a youtube example, but hell, ANY Santana solo will illustrate the point!
:D :D :D

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

That is a gooood example of high degree of facial contortion. :lol: Nice playing too.
But it is nothing when you compare it to B.B. King's contortion of not only the face but the whole body occasionally. Infact at 6.33 B.B. is so full of emotion/blues that the pianist and some other guy come to his aid...
