Swan Song Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hendrix Vs. Page Who would win in a guitar battle? I personally think Page would win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharmabum Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Definitively my 2 favorite guitarists. Overall I'm partial to Page but in the midst of a great jam by either one of them, all comparisons fall away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myledzep Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 It would be a tie! I'm biased though...Jimi Hendrix is definitely at the top of my favorite rock guitarist list and Jimmy P is close behind...sort of 1a, 1b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 everyone would win. a rainbow emanating from their headstock would arch over us all. peace would rain from around it. the lion would lie with the sheep. there would be no more need for gold, everything would be free.

Peep Solero Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 The battle won't end...they'll get too tiered and end up going out to grab some lunch, lol. Impossible question for me to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzep7991 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I think it would be a really close battle. Jimi Hendrix is amazing and Jimmy Page is amazing. So....... I really can't pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeyedrichard Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Just to see both of them stood together in the flesh...with guitars in their hands...is enough to blow your mind already. And that is before they plug them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb Derigable Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I like Jimi, but i love Jimmy. It's hard to argue agaist either one. But i always say Jimmy is the Best Guitarist who doesnt sing, in winch i think Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn gets too much credit for that. I think they are both equal. but Jimmy has a broader range of styles, and Hendrix died young which added to his popularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeppFanForever Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hendrix Vs. Page Who would win in a guitar battle? I personally think Page would win. How's it going "Swan Song?" To be honest, I would choose Hendrix over Pagey with Pagey coming in a very close second. Hendrix re-revolutionized the guitar and how it would be played. Pagey, as well as all of the fellow British and American guitar players, copied a lot of Hendrix's guitar playing style after Hendrix came on the music scene in 1966-67. The real question here is how would PRINCE have done against Pagey and Hendrix considering that PRINCE was voted second all-time greatest guitarist under Hendrix with Pagey voted third under PRINCE?

Black_Dog_90 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Jimi. No contest for me.I like both of them but I think I'll always rank Jimi Hendrix at 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talisman Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Jimi was probably more unique and influential, but Jimmy was more diverse and able to show much more emotion and excitement in his playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59LesPaul Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 No other guitarist has encouraged so many to take up the instrument as Page did Proof please? I didn't think so. I guess Buddy Holly,Scotty Moore and Chuck Berry,not to mention Les Paul himself, were inspired by Page,not the other way around then? That is a statement which could never be proven.

So many more people play guitar today than in the past. Look at the popularity of guitar hero for instance.(Even with the rise of hip hop music!) We live in much bigger world today. Zeppelin sheet music is very popular and besides Jimmy sold more albums than the guitarists you cited combined. It is through albums that people get hooked on guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jalepeno Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 None of which proves your original statement. It's a pointless argument. It's like trying to convince someone to vote for someone else or change their favorite band. Totally pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anarchy2Howard Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Lol, my way of comparing and defining the better out of 2 guitarists is rather complicated. I judge on four things: Innovation & CreativityVersatilityFeeling/emotionTechnical ability For Innovation and Creativity, they both score pretty high. For Versatility, Jimmy Page definetely scores higher than Hendrix. For Feeling/emotion, they can both put lots of emotion into their playing, but Hendrix scores higher on this one. For Technical Ability, I'd say Page scores higher.. just. In this comparison, Jimmy Page wins apparently. My favourite guitarist was always Jimmy Page anyway.

Jimmy's A Legend Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 It's a pointless argument. It's like trying to convince someone to vote for someone else or change their favorite band. Totally pointless. Agreed. I could never decide between them, they are both fantastic musicans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
