03. Jimmy Page

The Led Zeppelin guitarist is another exceptional innovator.

From his aggressive, distorted guitar tones to melodic riffs created for the 'Whole Lotta Love' hitmakers to his occasional use of a cello bow to create a unique texture, he sure knows his way around the fretboard.

The self-taught player behind the epic 'Stairway to Heaven' solo was a brief member of the Yardbirds with Jeff Beck also on lead guitar.

The 80-year-old rocker is also the man who inspired Guns N' Roses axe player Slash to buy the rare double-necked Gibson EDS-1275.
