Jimmy Page was the first person to inspire me to learn how to play guitar.When I was 12 years old and heard the solo to "Whole Lotta Love" I was hooked.

Since then many other guitarists have influenced me but Jimmy was the first. It still blows my mind how incredible so many of Zeppelin's songs are. I like the Beatles,The Stones,The Who and Queen alot but in my opinion they don't even come close to the level of musicianship that the Zep were.Anyone who has seen and heard tons of Zeppelin videos and bootlegs will understand that.

I can't wait for the DVD to come out. It would be nice if the current stars of the music industry took a look also.Could just be a somewhat humbling experience for most of them who think they are the cat's meow. It might even inspire some of them to try and learn how to play their instuments rather than using them as a fashion accessory.( Sorry,my own personal bias)

I just love sitting outside with my guitar on a warm night when the sun is setting and playing the "Rain Song." Makes me thankful that some musicians were more concerned with making good music than looking good on magazine covers(Sorry,personal bias again)
