my two heros

@TOOMUCHTlME It's not as black and white as that. Page went down technical avenues Clapton was incapable of or uninterested in exploring. I agree that Page was not able to play the pentatonics as smooth and precise as Clapton was, but there were other dimensions to Page's playing, apart from the effects and studio tricks, that were more technical and knowledgable of musical science than Clapton ever attempted.

I grew up listening Zeppelin, now I have bought a house in Miles Rd, Epsom.

Anyone know what number he lived at?

p.s. I have a friend with ginger hair who lives at no. 69

@stacy208 You are so right on pointing out Pages acoustic playing how clean and accurate he plays those passages

[GuitarPhi1]

and Eric Clapton is always going to be in a top 1-3 top guitarist catagory for 100s of years hes just so easy to get lost in his guitar solos now Jimmi Hendrix i wouldn't play at my grandmothers funeral or a wedding but I could find songs like stairway to heaven , thank you , the rain song , wonderful tonight , layla and wonderfultonight. Purplehaze wouldn't fit littlewing might but alot of his work about that special effect not his playing which was still great I still love Hendrix hes #3 to me

[GuitarPhi1]

Listen I like Hendrix and all but musically I think more people were connected to Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton's guitar solos more soloful and not about just getting effects and saying wow that guy must be on alot of drugs cool! But seriously tho Page is my favorite guitarist in his PRIME he was untouchable he made so many great songs and live he made it a new song everytime you could sit on youtube for hours looking up stairway to heaven live an it will sound diffrent everytime

Oh, I agree, Page was sloppy...Hendrix third?? hmmm, ok. And I guess the Soft Machine wasn't so "soft!!!

[TOOMUCHTlME]

@moonlightsea8 In terms of their lasting impact on guitar playing, I'd place Hendrix first, Clapton second, and Page last when considering strictly these three.

[TOOMUCHTlME]

@moonlightsea8 As I mentioned in my original comment, Page was indeed a studio musician, but was considered by his peers to be a sloppy musician. It's all in print. I was not knocking Page, just commenting. I've been lucky enough to have seen Clapton, Hendrix, and Page live. While you can't judge exclusively from one certain show, I'd place Clapton at top, Page second, and Hendrix third. In fairness, at Hendrix's show, the PA had been damaged by the Soft Machine, the opening act.

@TOOMUCHTlME Page's sloppiness is a STYLE. It's not because he can't play cleanly! Just look up on youtube sloppy guitar playing. There are numerous videos of people trying to emulate that sound. If you actually believe that Page cannot play cleanly, just listen to his acoustic guitar work! And he's not respected skill wise? Are you kidding? He WAS a virtuoso. He spent years doing studio work before Zeppelin. The one who was not a virtuoso believe it or not was Hendrix.

Sloppiness is part of what made these things magic. Blues is not about "clean" or "different" or anything like that. True blues is a musicians music, an expression of the soul, never quite the same, always slightly different...
