Some people in this wild world think Jimmy Page is "sloppy" or "overrated" and to those people I say BEGONE. Jimmy Page was actually a renowned session guitar player before he become a legendary guitar god after joining Led Zeppelin. Part of what makes Page's sound unique is how his guitar playing pushes and pulls you through an uneasy vortex of eccentric runs, soaring bends, and dirty chords, all the while staying exactly on the beat. This type of controlled chaos is not on accident, and it's what makes Jimmy Page one of the greatest guitar players to ever live.
