Jimmy Page is not the greatest guitar player in history.

Sorry, you asked for it.

EDIT: Haha, didn't read the rest of the thread before I posted. But seriously, it's just impossible to say the "greatest." What do you mean? It isn't even definable.

David Gilmour? Jimmy Page? Ron Thal? Jimmi Hendrix? Shawn Lane? John Petrucci? Buckethead? The list goes on and on and on and on. Who's to say? I suspect you have bias towards guys like Jimmy Page and David Gilmour. That's fine, I have bias towards guys like Ron Thal and John Petrucci. No one is right! It's all great.

Obviously, "greatest classic rock guitarist" would exclude my guys, though.

BTW, good vids. Not exactly my cup of tea, but I still appreciate it.

"I don't think what we have today even comes close to comparing to it." What does that even mean? Great music is gone forever? Because that would be a sorely mistaken statement. Yes, maybe that exact type of music is gone forever, and it happens to be the type of music you identify with most because of your preferences, your upbringing, the social history you were a part of, etc. Music is constantly evolving. There's a bunch of crap out there today, but there's a bunch of really powerful and beautiful stuff (just like at any time in history). I'd wager someone from 300 years ago might not care for or even be appalled by "Stairway to Heaven."
