HFBD: Jimmy Page

Recommended Posts

He has a bad reputation for being a sloppy live performer, but I think most of that stems from the era when he became a heroin addict.  

 

This is one of my favorite clips of Jimmy; his playing here is sublime (at RAH, 1970).

 

And on that crappy Danelectro too!

The greatest of all time?  Perhaps not.  But he's one of them, for sure!!!

       What does great mean?  Does it mean he's fast or creative or capable of playing something no one else can?  That he has a range of hand movements no one else has?

I think one important key to being one of the greatest is influence.
