Mini bio
How it started.
Jimmy grew up in Surrey and began playing guitar at twelve, learning largely by listening to records. Before joining the Yardbirds in 1966, he built his career as a London session guitarist.
Building Led Zeppelin.
When the Yardbirds broke up in 1968, Page formed Led Zeppelin with Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham. His guitar playing and production helped define the band, from Led Zeppelin IV’s Stairway to Heaven to the layered arrangements of Physical Graffiti.
Inside the arrangements.
Page worked out Kashmir and Ten Years Gone in his home studio before taking them to the band. On Ten Years Gone, his demo already mapped out the sections and multiple guitar parts, giving the group a detailed starting point.
Keeping the archive alive.
His work beyond Zeppelin includes Outrider, No Quarter with Robert Plant and Live at the Greek with the Black Crowes. In The Anthology, he tells his story through instruments, stage clothes and other objects from his own archive. Recent projects open up more of that history through film, demos and anniversary releases.
