As new film It Might Get Loud celebrates three great guitarists, Neil McCormick meets Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, whose technical mastery redefined rock.

“I’m not a guitar hero,” insists Jimmy Page, modestly. Sitting in Gibson’s London offices, surrounded by gleaming, freshly minted, six-stringed instruments, the 65-year old, white haired musician nominates late Gibson founder, inventor and electric musical pioneer Les Paul in that role.

“I can’t think of a greater guitar icon than someone who has the musical intellect to change what was there before, and take music in another direction. That’s a guitar hero for me.”

Which is presumably not to be confused with the computer game of the same name, which has made the phrase Guitar Hero synonymous with a kind of gunslinging avatar based on Slash from 1980s metal band Guns 'N Roses.

“That’s all about image,” snorts Page, derisively. “If you want to waste your time playing a plastic instrument and looking at somebody in a top hat, then good luck. That’s not my idea of moving music forward.”

Whatever his own assessment of his place in the pantheon, to most popular music fans Page is not just a guitar hero, he is perhaps only superseded by Jimi Hendrix as the pre-eminent guitarist in the history of rock.

Indeed, Page is the star turn in It Might Get Loud, a documentary about a meeting between three iconic guitarists of different rock generations: Page, U2’s professorial effects master The Edge and garage-blues primitivist Jack White of The White Stripes. The film traces autobiographical journeys before bringing them together to swap secrets.
