moreblack Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Yes, but these things are always just a contest of the best known.But if take a panel of the most qualified guitarists in the world, and have them pick the top 10, I bet the list would be very different.

Led Zep is the best coverband in the world, though. They are ALL fucking talented there's no doubt about that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led Zep is the best coverband in the world, though. They are ALL fucking talented there's no doubt about that)Page says it's his though."Jimmy Page: I came up with the guitar riff for "Whole Lotta Love" in the summer of '68, on my houseboat along the Thames in Pangbourne, England. I suppose my early love for big intros by rockabilly guitarists was an inspiration, but as soon as I developed the riff, I knew it was strong enough to drive the entire song, not just open it. When I played the riff for the band in my living room several weeks later during rehearsals for our first album, the excitement was immediate and collective. We felt the riff was addictive, like a forbidden thing."You can hear him finding it and testing it out during the improv sections of How Many More Times throughout the 68 and 69 shows. Kind of how the San Francisco bit in Dazed turned into Achilles' Last Stand.Mind you there's that bit in Hey Joe...
