He's a frickin' legend. Only one ever made, and likely never be another.

Have to way in on this one brothers. To each his own. A legend, yes. The solo to "Stairway" was a one take, per say. He recorded three solos off the top of his head and took the first one for the song. An inspiration? Anybody's call. My opinion, my all time favorite guitar player, was an unknown. In the style of Chet Adkins. But as far as a modern day guitar hero? Dave Mustaine, hands down. The epitome of hard rock/melodic playing.

You are so right.
Thanks for the Dave Mustaine shout out, he's really good.
In 1971, Jimmy was a God. And to me, once you've attained that status, it cannot be removed. Same goes for Edward VH. I don't care how much coke you do, once a guitar God, always a guitar God.
I just wonder why bass players have so much to say.

It's true, most guitar players are also members of the secret police spelling squad. I'm glad I didn't try to hype Yingvay Momstine. |

Yngwie Malmsteen....you are welcome(I remembered that---I did not look it up so I hope I'm correct). While I agree there are many guitar PLAYERS that are better than Page I don't know of that many guitarist-SONGWRITERS that compare. Those riffs are just legendary. I have no clue how he came up with such really basic blues-based riffs that still sound fresh every time they come on the old radio.....unreal. I mean...modern(post-EVH) guitarists would shred Page to no end but their ability to write such good songs in a band setting is the real difference IMO. Agreed on Mustaine and Freidman(don't forget Freidman!!) superb melodies from both and I try really hard to emulate Freidmans loose slide into and out of almost every note style with little success. Honestly, there are guys and some gals that shred better than Page at GC every Saturday afternoon the difference is they aren't at home writing Black Dog or Rock and Roll type riffs in their free time.

You have to dig a lot deeper than "Stairway" to find the true Page. Listen to all of 2, 3, and 4 and get back to me. Inspiration?? Damn right. Led Zeppelin in general set standards that everyone has tried to mimmick. Jimmy Page was once called a "chicken scratch" guitarist. If you listen to some of his playing, yes, it sounds kind of that way. But, it is intrinsicaly Jimmy Page. Very original. Nobody else sounds like him.
There are MANY great guitarists. Look back at the start of the thread... it says "Jimmy Page is still better than YOU!". After all, it's not even about him being the greatest guitarists... but if you want my vote, he's in the top ten. Let's call him a "trend setter".

since I like acoustic music most I say Zep 3 for me. I think alot of zeps heaver riffs are coming from John Paul Jones. If you don't agree, at least listen to Jones Thunderthief album before you get back to me on that.

oh, don't even get me started on John Paul Jones. Probably one of the most overlooked musicians on the face of the planet. The whole ball of wax that made Led Zeppelin will never be replicated. They were the closest thing to comparing to the "Wylde Stallions" that I can think of. Groundbreakers. JPJ is an incredible musician, and between him and John Bohnam, the rocks that they founded that band on.
Yes Joe... all great players. I know you have great taste in music.
Oh, I forgot one of the best... Physical Graffiti. Listen to that one if you still doubt.

old post. same answer! jimmy page is the best!
not in the regards of technical playing. which many guitarist
often use as a dagger in his jimmy's back!
yet, who cares i'd rather hear a jimmy solo. than
a malmsteen. i do like some technical players like Mustaine.
but, he may be the exception. groups like dreamtheatre and dragon whatever begin to sound the same after 30sec. i like to hear songs that
are guitar inspired. NOT RUN-ON SENTENCES ON GUITAR!

Page has factor X. Page has a vast catalog of the best guitar solos in rock history. Page has written more memorable guitar riffs than anybody else. Yeah, he's sloppy, but good rock aint pretty. I would give my right arm to be able to see Zep back in '72.
JIMMY PAGE, THE GREATEST ROCK GUITARIST OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

And Jimmy Page played what some consider the best off-the-cuff solo of all time (Stairway) on a TELECASTER!
Great minds think alike.
