Speed and complexity do not necessarily constitute greatness

Page was great at getting emotions across through Led Zeppelin's music. Just listen to his solos, they're so full of life, as if he was singing through his guitar (much like some say Jimi Hendrix could). I could play something fast, and I can play something complex, but I am not a great musician

I'd have to agree with Zero, Joe Satriani, the guy is a freakin perfectionist.

yeah, Chet Atkins really was amazing. And a shout-out to the late, great John Fahey as well, as long as we're giving the old timers their due. The guy turned the folk world upside-down in the fifties.

Isn't that last photo the villan from Harry Potter? The guy Alan Rickman played? I knew Alan Rickman was a great actor, but a great guitarist as well! Wow!

Sorry, the other pic didn't work, and I dont want you to think Euronymous looked like a square with an X, because I know you need these sorts of helping hands.
