TSRTS is the reason I picked up a guitar.
He is not the best technical player. And he was pretty hit or miss after 75-76 during live performances. But Page was definitely a great blues rock player and an excellent song writer/studio expert. He does however lose points for some of his personal decisions, such as not giving credit on songs that were obviously not written by him. And that whole 14 year old thing...... |

Of course he's one of the greats.

The question is: who doesn't think he's one of the greatest? That person would then be disqualified from having an opinion on the subject.

Page is still the greatest influence for me musically, 40 plus years worth!!
there are soooooo many nuggets in there, always a pleasure to get peoples reaction, from a Jimmy quote tossed into a song.. |

I used to be a big fan. I really love his playing on Dazed and Confused. I think that's his best thing. He's a very good jazz player, but he rarely ever played jazz. Sadly, the more I delve in to his music, the more I research, and the better I get as a player, he just appears to be a hack that happened to make it big off of the backs of others. Take a look at any of his work past Led Zeppelin and it's just really fucking bad. Hell, look at his time in The Yardbirds... it's not very good. He's also a bigger thief than Vanilla Ice. He sampled songs before sampling was a thing. I think that's a big reason why he sort of disappeared for a long time, only really emerging for the random ambient sound track and Page and Plant.

I put JP up on the same shelf as Ace Frehley.. Their names are bigger than their talent. Just from a bass player's perspective. Great guitar players? Eric Clapton, Steve Howe, Jeff Beck, Tony Iommi, Gary Moore, etc... |

SRV had his low points but everyone remembers him most after he started to get his life in order..too bad it was cut short

Jimmy is THE reason I picked up the instrument back in the day. Comparing him to Ace is rather weak IMHO. While Jimmy may not have been the most accurate of players the man dripped feeling and emotion and was a true master of sound. Jimmy could do Aces "greatest claim to fame" called Shock Me in his sleep.

Jimmy Page was a great composer of rock music, but a fucking terrible guitarist in terms of technical prowess and originality.

Is Jimmy the best guitarist of all time? No, I don't think he is from a technical stand point.
Is Jimmy one of the most influential guitarists of the last 50 years? No question about it. Yes. Do I love listening to his music? Yes. Warts and all, I love listening to Jimmy play. |

Jimmy Page is a great guitar player, sure he was wasted and took chances that didn't always work, Just watch, "It Might get Loud" Page shows the young folks how it is done.
