Eddie Van Halen

The founder of the hard rock band Van Halen is an absolute beast on the guitar. Gene Simmons of Kiss discovered Edward Van Halen and his brother Alex, who went on to form one of the most popular rock bands of all time, headlined by David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar. In 2012, Guitar World magazine ranked Van Halen first among the best guitarists of all time. On October 6, 2020, he, unfortunately, passed away.

Jimmy Page

Jimmy Page founded the rock band Led Zeppelin. He was also a member of The Yardbirds, which many people were unaware of (as were Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck). As a twenty-year-old in the 1960s, he was one of the most in-demand session guitarists in the UK. Page, who is now 77 years old, has twice been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
