No worries Muris, that's a good thing. Makes people think Of course I disagree with you though. If you are saying that it's the solos that defines a guitarist then in my opinion you are wrong. Listening to solos that's not really part of the song (showing off) is just as exciting as looking at how excellent someone can handle a toothbrush. Of course I didn't say that!!! I sad his solo playing isn't that unique for my taste and view, like per example Knopfler,Jeff Beck,Blackmore,Hendrix etc , these guys have their own VEERY powerful trademark, even today which is quite amazing,you try to copy them a bit and it'd be sooo obvious. I putted more light on his solo parts cause most the In Style Lessons here are solo stuff,correct me if I'm wrong. And finally,we are ALL aware of the fact that soloing is just a small piece of being guitarist,musician generally. Composing,innovations,generation leader, I would say those are major parts of Page's greatness! -------------------- Youtube

All great guitarists must be seen in the context of their era.
Is a model model T ford a good car by todays standards? No, but it was the most popular car of its era. Just because the craft of guitar playing has moved on and is today judged by different technical standards, does not invalidate the contributions of earlier players. Jimmy Page is not a Vai or Pettrucci, but in his day he was the equivalent - a dude who was breaking the rules and playing stuff the like of which noone had ever heard before - that has to count for something. To say nothing of the technique versus musical feel argument - older guitarists like page played slower, less notes, but perhaps they were closer to the music as a result. I realize that this comment may be contravrsial as we all have different opinions, but I am trying to make the point that faster and more modern techniques are not necessarily better, because at the end of it all, the judgement of music is in how it makes us as listeners feel, not hom many notes we play, or how flawlessly we play them. For that reaosn, I see players like Page, Clapton & Hendrix to be just as deserving of the guitar god label now as they were in their time, modern developments not withstanding, but at the same time you have to give props to the newer guys for taking the art to an entirely new and unbelievable level - its all part of the same thing whichever way you cut it. Ok, I'm done ... -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
