Eddie Van Halen

On the guitar, the founder of the hard rock band Van Halen is an absolute beast. Edward Van Halen and his brother Alex were discovered by Gene Simmons of Kiss and form one of the most successful rock bands of all time, fronted by David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar. Van Halen was voted number one on Guitar World magazine’s list of the greatest guitarists of all time in 2012. He passed away 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.
