They both made a hell of a lot more money that I did playing the intrument, so they both did something right! It's a subjective topic, like arguing politics, sports and religion, there's never a "winner". There's no better or worse (well, Mick Mars sucks!), just who you prefer.

correct

Right, of course we can cherry pick comments all day long to support our guy

There are a lot of guys like Slash, Vai, Dean Deleo, Alex Lifeson to name a few who will testify that Page is the man. It's why these are little more than endless conversations, which means this forum may continue longer than the site!

He's an interesting meld of techniques. Very precise player who can do a standard blues style or go virtuoso. I think he's one of the more underrated guitarists in music.

I'll give you another guy who was a sheer monster but didn't get much notice is Trevor Rabin. He was good enough to make Steve Howe a jealous rage. I saw him do a solo on a twelve string acoustic in concert years ago that had me picking my jaw up off the floor.

OK, I will never be able to play like that. But I also would not listen to that. Not my style. Kid can play her brains out however.

Reminds me a bit of the Duel in Crossroads.
I believe Vai played both Parts!

Ry Cooder played all the slide stuff in that movie, but Vai did everything else.
Oh, and I saw a video of a monkey playing the "Heartbreaker" solo with his feet once. It was cleaner than Page's recorded version!

This guy is pretty good as well. I had a chat with him, and he sent me the sheet music, and the MP3 if you want a copy, I can send it to you.

One of the better versions of Stairway to heaven.

Why would anyone waste their time watching a monkey play a guitar??



As for who's the Worlds Greatest Guitarist. I could really care less. I just enjoy listening to music. I'll let all you so called experts battle this one out.
