Jimmy Page

by Dean from Glenbrook Middle School

"I don't think the critics could understand what we were doing." Jimmy Page

My hero is Jimmy Page. In my opinion, he is the greatest guitar player ever. He never expected to become a guitar player. He overcame an addiction to drugs, and ended up being world famous. Jimmy is the lead guitarist for the band Led Zeppelin. He has greatly influenced my and many other peoples’ guitar playing.

He wanted to find a cure for cancer before becoming a guitar player. When Page was moving into his new home he found a guitar lying around, so he picked it up and started playing. That event lead to his career. The guitar he found happened to be the same guitar that I play. He used to be addicted to drugs in his late teens and early twenties. After this addiction started affecting his performances, he knew he had to quit. He eventually overcame his addiction and it never bothered him again. He is very inspiring, he has talent, and he is outgoing.

Jimmy Page is the greatest guitar player ever by my standards. He is the lead guitarist for Led Zeppelin. He joined the band in 1996. Jimmy Page Has influenced many guitarists, including me, across the world. In conclusion, My Hero is Jimmy Page. I think that he is the greatest guitar player ever. He used to be addicted to drugs, but he overcame it. He is the lead guitarist of the band Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Page has influenced numerous guitar players across the country.
