I grew up with the Beatles & the British invasion.

I was never a LZ fan although I loved & owned “LZ IV” - especially “Black Dog” named after a stray dog that wandered in & out of the studio during those sessions.

That said...

I really got into a British invasion band - The Yardbirds - and their revolutionary guitar sounds. Not surprising, the guitarists from that group were...

Eric Clapton
Jimmy Page
Jeff Beck (the best of that trio)

I think Beck is the best technical guitarist of the three, but Page is the best musician. His compositions are by far the best (as far as I go, the best in rock music), and as a producer, he knew better than the other two how his guitar sounds fit into the songs created by the band as a whole. Also, neither of the other two managed to sustain a band, let alone one composed of three other such superb musicians.
