A major London radio station last year asked listeners for their favourite track of all time. The record they selected had been released 13 years ago by a band that split four years ago, and had a memorable solo played by a guitarist born 40 years ago.
It was, perhaps unbelievably, "Stairway To Heaven". Whether you rate Jimmy Page next to God or Guildford on a wet weekend, ever wondered what sort of life makes someone that sort of legend? This sort of life...
Early days, sessions. 1944-65
I have read many books on Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin. Jimmy has always been my biggest musical influence (if I had to pick just one), as a guitarist, songwriter, and producer. When I think about what I want to achieve as a musician, Jimmy Page is the first image that comes to my mind. To have artistic vision, write great songs, play them well on my guitar, record them myself, and retain total creative control over every aspect of my art. That is what Jimmy Page did. That’s what Jimmy Page still does. Whether he’s churning out yet another round of Zep remasters, curating coffee table books of his life, or working with the director on the first authorized Zep documentary (out in 2021), Page always tells you to focus on the music — on the art.

It is also characterized by his folk and eastern-influenced acoustic work. He is notable for occasionally playing his guitar with a cello bow to create a droning sound texture to the music. Page began his career as a studio session musician in London and, by the mid-1960s, alongside Big Jim Sullivan, was one of the most sought-after session guitarists in Britain. He was a member of the Yardbirds from 1966 to 1968. When the Yardbirds broke up, he founded Led Zeppelin, which was active from 1968 to 1980. Following the death of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, he participated in a number of musical groups throughout the 1980s and 1990s, more specifi
Born James Patrick Page, 9th January 1944, in Heston, Middlesex, just west of London. His father was a personnel officer, his mother a doctor's secretary. The family moved to Epsom, Surrey in about 1952.
Around 1957 Jimmy was given his first guitar by his parents, a Spanish-style but steel-strung acoustic; his first solid electric followed a year later, a Strat copy with the unlikely brand name of Grazioso.
"I took up the guitar at the age of 16. I was especially impressed with all the rock records which seemed to be flooded with guitar sounds. Next I moved on to the bl •
