Is there even a close second to Jimi Hendrix?

Ok more more factoid: The last time I saw a Guitar Player magazine ranking of the 100 top guitar soloes, Page had the #1 spot. Food for thought.

Dilz...you made a great argument until this part. lol.

Who cares who has the best solo? There is a lot of variance in that. And besides, Stairway isn't even Page's best solo, IMO. It's just revered as "quintessential".

The argument you put forth was good though.

Actually I agree with you for the most part. But in an argument about best guitar players' actual guitar playing ability, it seemed relevant to point out that our guy, who wok is lumping in with everyone else who is not Hendrix, is considered to have performed the best recorded solo in rock and roll history. That doesn't prove he's the best, but I think it does help prove he deserves enough respect not be thrown in with "all the rest," as wet wok seems to believe he should be.
