One of the all-time greats, Jimmy Page was the guitar shredding master from Led Zeppelin; need I say more? English born Page, who before Zeppelin was actually part of a band called the Yardbirds which featured famous guitarists Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton, is ranked the #3 greatest guitarist on Rolling Stones' "100 greatest guitarists of all time". Clapton and Beck are ranked #2 and #5 respectively.
Equipment: Page is known for his Gibson Les Paul guitars, and famously known for his double Gibson SG guitar featured on live version of Stairway To Heaven, The Rain Song, and The Song Remains The Same

Stairway To Heaven
Page is known for Marshall Amps, Orange Amps, and most famously his Vox AC-30. His effects feature famous pedals such as the Vox Cry Baby and MXR Phase 90.
Music Theory: The famous solo which has been outlawed in music shops all of over the world (See Wayne's World) is in the key of A Minor. Similar to the solo by Eddie Hazel, this solo is using mostly notes from the Pentatonic Scale. The difference in these solo's is simply, the key they're in, the rhythm and personal taste in improvisation.
