Sorry to let you know but being recognized by those magazines means <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">.

He played the guitar with a violin bow for god sake, and had Gibson Special make his world famous duel guitar, and most of the effects used by led zeppelin were never used in any other band before them.

Yeah, he played guitar with a violin bow ... and there were a few effects used, but as a whole his playing style was not new or original. Much of his work in Led Zep was pretty much rip offs of those who came before him.

And just out of Curiosity do any of you actually play the guitar, because if you don't you would have no clue on what is or isn't difficult.

You don't need to play guitar to know if something is good however, so I'd appreciate it if you just shut up on this because you are being a total dick for no good reason at all.
Whoa, whoa. Calm down man, you're gonna get banned if you go round posting like that all the time, he has a good a point, he's trying to explain his point and opinion, at least let him be, the greatest guitarist and solo ever are a matter of opinion because it's unfair just to suddenly demand some guy is the best ever. Just relax and let it slide, I don't exactly have a top favourite guitarist or solo and that's my opinion.
