Black-Dog Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 He has influenced so much guitar players. I think he is the best rock guitarist, together with Ritchie Blackmore. They are the only one who compared hard rock with blues or classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackers is the best, but Page comes a close 2nd IMHO Edited January 19, 2010 by Conneyfogle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black-Dog Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Blackmore is not better than Jimmy. I think they are both good. They have two different styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, Page is my favourite but I think Blackers is more precise if slighty away with the pixies Also I think Blackers is still on top of his game, where Jimmy was at his peak in the early 70's Edited January 19, 2010 by Conneyfogle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Jimmy Page is a great guitarist no doubt, and has created and played many memorable riffs and songs. IMO though, I wouldn't call him my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black-Dog Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Jimmy can play acoustic guitar very well. (Rain Song, Bron-Yr-Aur, Thats the Way...) He can play slide-guitar very nice. If you see In my Time of Dying (Earls Court) or What is and What Should Never be you are agree with me. Jimmy play with soul, you will agree with me if you hear the song Stairway to Heaven from the MSG, or Tea For One 1996. Then, Jimmy is a brilliant blues-player. Since I've been Loving You is the argument for it. At last, Jimmy can play fast as Ritchie. Dazed and Confused from the MSG 73 say all of it. He is the greatest for me. Do you agree with me?

It's often said that Blackers doesn't play with any emotion agreed, but he is still passionate about his music, and yes Jimmy can play fast although, I'm not sure he can as well now, of course he's the greatest, no disputing that, the man is a legend.. also you wouldn't find Jimmy not coming on for encores & leaving the band every 2 minutes depending on what mood he's in. Saying that, Blackers is the best at what he does, I had the chance to see him recently and he was amazing, saw Jimmy too he was amazing als, not forgetting Jimmy's song writing talent probably edges it Edited January 19, 2010 by Conneyfogle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black-Dog Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Blackmore is a good guitarist, but he often play bad solos in the songs. Thats my opinion. Jimmy has everytime awesome solos. A lot of people say that the STH solo is the best of all time.

zepps_apprentice Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) favorite and best IMHO. but my favorite solo of his man thats a VERY hard decision to make. Tea For One, STH, Immigrant Song (live), Dazed, too many. EDIT: also a very good slide player Edited January 19, 2010 by zepps_apprentice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page-ist Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 As far as riffs go, Jimmy is the best hands down. But overall, I believe that Jimi changed the way the guittar is played more than any other( not to mention in such a short time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
