This musician rocked it out so well he ended up influencing some of the biggest rock ‘n’ roll guitarists we have ever seen. He is most popular for the songs “Roll Over Beethoven” and “Maybellene”. Meanwhile, the hit “Johnny B. Goode” has been hailed one of the best guitar solos in all of history. He is basically a pioneer of the rock ‘n’ roll genre, so just about everyone on this list owes his thanks in one way or another.

Jimmy Page

Jimmy Page was born on January 9, 1944 in Middlesex, England. If you take a good look at him in the photo below, you will see a man with a single arm and two guitars. Obviously, he has two arms and how he swung the double-necked Gibson guitar created incredible rhythm and great solos. His dark but folkloric music style has captivated and continues to captivate fans from all over the world. The Led Zeppelin lead guitarist wrote music and worked hard. Apparently, he was such a workhorse in the recording studio who always fine-tuned his guitar playing the perfect the sound. He is best known for his performance in songs such as “Kashmir”, “Dazed and Confused”, and “Heartbreaker”.
