I have no problem, they can both play guitar in my band, they seem pretty proficient. How do I contact them?

[Clarky]

Jimmy.

They'll have to fight it out, blow by blow (if that helps...).

[Doddy]

Jeff Beck. I've always thought that Page was often quite sloppy (Plus,I'm not a fan of Zeppelin).

[Clarky]

Astonishing stuff (from about 50 secs)

Jimmy Page. Just because.

[leroydiamond]

Both great guitarists but its gotta be Page. He gas written the most memorable riffs in the history of Rock. pure genius.

From a playing perspective JB, from a compositional and arrangement perspective JP.

Audition them both & see which ones offers to buy his round in at the pub after ....... easy choice after that.

[LemonCello]

Just for the outrageous kecks he used to wear (Song Remains the Same) - the title goes to the one and only Jimmy Page!

[Mykesbass]

Neither of them would win the X Factor just proving that music should never be a competition. (very minor rant over)

[Hobbayne]

Ah, but who replaced who in The Yardbirds??

[peteb]

Depends on how you look at it - Beck purely as a guitar player but Page for producing the best music!

[hollywoodrox]

Tricky they are both Icons. Jimmy has made a huge mark in popular music
I would have to pick jeff , if its difficult I think who would I like to be? And it would be cool to be beck
He shreds like mad, is a great fusion player, is in great shape has great hair and plays awesome guitars
Has just played onstage with the worlds greatest rock n roll band and was in the yardbirds
He is the ultimate rock star.

[hollywoodrox]

Blackmore and yngwie own them both tho...........

Well, they were both playing with the Yardbirds at the Crawdaddy club when I saw them.

[Pete Academy]

Beck all the way. Page is definitely sloppy and a bit of a widdler. I wish I'd written Kashmir, though.

[philparker]

You don't have to decide, they're both icons of British rock and what one of them does slightly better than the other, shouldn't relegate the other!

Having said that I would say that JB is technically the better guitar player and JP had the better presence with genius compositional skills.

[Bassman Steve]

Jeff Beck for his absolute mastery of the guitar. I'm afraid Jimmy Page leaves me completely cold.

[paul torch]

Think they are both important but for me it has to be Jeff Beck for keeping his guitar playing moving forward.

Star Cycle blew me away when I first heard it.

Some of you don't seem to understand that Jimmy Page is God.
Or was that Eric Clapton?

But Page over Beck for me.
