Question:

Which 70’s guitarist do you think was the better player, Jimmy Page or Richie Blackmore?  Which one do you enjoy listening to more?  Which one would you say had the better sound? Jarl Sigurd to listen to guitar oriented music by Jarl Sigurd visit: http://www.ampcast.com/JarlSigurd

Response:

Page was far and away the better player/producer/all around studio man. Page was more inventive and focused in his playing and song writing (yes, Page was sloppy at times, but that makes his playing more real in some respects). Page was way more commercially successful. And Page is considered an "A list" player. Blackmore was mediocre at best. He owes a lot to Ozzy for his minimal amount of fame… not his playing prowess. And I’ll add the obligatory… IMHO! Parker
