My first post is to introduce my favorite guitarist-Jimmy Page ( born on January 9, 1944 in Middlesex, UK ).He is an English multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and record producer. He began his career as a studio session guitarist in London and was subsequently a member of The Yardbirds from 1966 to 1968, after which he founded the English rock band Led Zeppelin. Rolling Stone magazine has described him as "the pontiff of power riffing & probably the most digitally sampled artist in pop today after James Brown.

  1. It’s nice of you to introduce guitarists on your blog, because I like listening to music but I know only a few bands and musicians. I used to consider that guitar is a musical instrument that create brisk or rocky melody, but the link you shared gives me a good vibration, and make me feel relaxed. Thanks for sharing!
