My dad put on the movie It Might Get Loud and it is very interesting so far.
The movie is a documentary that looks at the music careers of Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge. We are really only watching it for Jimmy Page because he's an inspiration to me and my dad. Page didn't want to just play music, so he separated himself from that for a little bit and went to art school. He, of course, returned to music as a session guitarist, but realized that he was playing pieces by other musicians so it prevented him from showing off his creativity. He started writing and performing in bands The Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin.
While Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton are considered some of the best, I think Jimmy Page is the best. He did things that were never done before. He basically created the double-neck guitar - he had it made for himself for "Stairway to Heaven" in 1971. He can play seventeen instruments (yes, you read the correctly). He taught himself how to play guitar from listening to records. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice; first with The Yardbirds and second with Led Zeppelin. I could literally go on for hours about this rock legend, but I know you have things to do so I won't.
