i play guitar (which im sure everyone does), i went with vai just cause tonight im going to see him in concert tonight, but i did have a page obsession for a while, and jimi, i love him to death, but hes completely overrated (dont kill me for this one ) i guess if it wasent for like playing tech and shit that steve vai has, id totally go with Jimmy page, amazing by all aspects, still doesnt have the chops vai does, but then again vai is a horrible song writer , SO HONESTLY I DONT NO< I LOVE JIMMY PAGE< BUT I LOVE VAI TECH PLAYING !!!!!!!
ps : if ur lookin for guitar players (jazz or just tech playing) Al Di Meola is great, check into him
