Jimmy Page

Jimmy Page made electric guitar arrangement feel architectural. The English guitarist and producer became central to Led Zeppelin, where blues roots, folk tuning, studio layering, and heavy riff construction formed a new scale of rock sound. Dazed and Confused, Whole Lotta Love, Stairway to Heaven, and Kashmir show how his playing and production shaped the language of the 1970s.
