Eddie Van Halen

The founder of hard rock band Van Halen is an absolute beast on the guitar. Edward Van Halen and his brother Alex, discovered by Gene Simmons of Kiss, went on to form one of the best-selling bands of all time, fronted by both David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar along the way. In Guitar World magazine’s list of the greatest guitarists of all time in 2012, Van Halen was voted number one. Sadly, he died on October 6, 2020.

Jimmy Page

Jimmy Page is the founder of the rock band Led Zeppelin. But guess what, though? He was in The Yardbirds too (as were Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck). As a twenty-year-old in the 1960s, he was among the most sought-after session guitarists in Britain. Now 77, Page was inducted twice into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
