As much as I like Led Zep, I don't think Jimmy Page was the greatest guitarist who ever lived. As a guitarist myself, I consider John Petrucci (Dream Theater) to be superior to Page.
Although he's written a lot of great rhythm guitar parts, half of Page's solos are pretty scratchy. They seem to go no-where and just sound uninspired. On occasion it sounds like he is struggling to play something beyond his skill level.
Overall he is a good guitarist, but not great. I give him more credit for his writing ability than his playing skills.
