Rock History Pics wrote, “Happy 80th birthday to one of the greatest guitar players of all-time – Jimmy Page. The guitarist left The Yardbirds to form Led Zeppelin and the rest is history.
My Daily Record also called Page “one of the greatest guitar heroes of all time” and noted his long musical history.
Page had a few guitar lessons when he was 12 years old and continued learning on his own from there. Before co-founding Led Zeppelin, he was a member of the Yardbirds from 1966 to 1968, a group that featured various famous guitarists like Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton.
He also worked as a studio musician, playing for the Who and The Kinks. Then Page found success with Led Zeppelin, which sold more than 200 million records and remains one of the top-selling bands of all time.
