Written Information : Jimmy Page played rock, classic rock music. Although, he did also record blues, jazz, and country. He played with energy and crative flair. He had lots of guitar solos and liked to have a change in energy in the middle of the song to make it more exciting. Jimmy Page was born on January 9th, 1944. What was interesting was that he was self-taught and became a very good guitarist. Producer of Led Zeppelin and owns his own recording studio. He was in a band called the Yardbirds but they broke up in 1968 with a few concerts left already planned. he wanted to continue the concerts so Jimmy Page brought together 3 more musicians and finished the concerts. They later recorded their own album and changed their name to Led Zeppelin after going on their first tour. He actually didn't do anything huge before he bacame famous. Rock and Roll music influenced this artist. Elvis Presley was by far his biggest influence though. Led Zeppelin's self-titled ablum "Led Zeppelin" was their first album and was very succesful. He also came out with multiple other Led Zeppelin albums including "Led Zepelin IV." Led Zeppelin changed the sound of Rock music forever. He is in the music hall of fame and many guitarists play differently because of him. He has played soundtracks in movies such as the "Death Wish" series. Jimmy Page played a Telecaster '72 Reissue. This was a very high quality guitar and very beautiful. He had traveling sickness at first so he was just a studio artist. At age thirteen he self-taught himself guitar. I thought that was the most amazing fact.
