The most powerful aspect of Jimmy Page's guitar playing is the ELECTRONIC SETUP!

[I Hate Zep]

Jimmy Page isn't a bad player, but 75% of the traditional "Zeppelin
guitar sound" is not based on his strumming skills

You're right. It's based on his leads and riffs. He never was a strummer.

Jimmy was as good at rhythm guitar as he needed to be.  "Ramble On."
"Beck's Bolero."  "The Song Remains the Same."
What he really excelled at was making guitar SOUNDS, as opposed to
guitar PLAYING.

I disagree with that, and I think the origial posting is simply a troll.
Page was a great guitar player as well as sonic sculptor and producer and
engineer.

I suppose you're one of those losers who try to say Page was a greater
guitar player than Hendrix.

(However, even with Hendrix there is a qualification to his skills.
Much of Jimi's rep for those who believe him the greatest electric
guitar player ever, is based on the Jimi Hendrix EXPERIENCE as a group
having such extremely powerful bass guitar and drums.)

Whichever way, rock music sucks.

Are you a jazz-holer or something?

Are you a jazz-holer or something?- Hide quoted text -

I am an adherent to TRUE music of the past.

My belief is that music of other eras is misrepresented to modern
society by doing the equivalent of playing Las Vegas lounge VERSIONS
of Led Zeppelin such that electronic garbage is _made out to be_
the best music ever.

truth and law. Theres no such thing as TRUE music.

group:

Well, in a generic sense (not just Zep), there is little difference
between the FALSITY of midi music and that of a loud electric guitar.
