Along with The Edge and Jack White, he participated in the 2008 documentary It Might Get Loud. Page’s musical tastes included folk, blues, skiffle and the sounds of Elmore James, Buddy Bmore, Freddie King, Freddie Hubert, Freddie B, Guy Guy, Guy Hubert and Buddy Holly. He appeared on BBC1’s President Lotta Lotta President in 1957 with a Höfner acoustic, which he’d bought from his milk money. In 2010, he was ranked number two in Gibson’s list of \”Top 50 Guitarists of All Time\” and, in 2007, number four on Classic Rock’s \”100 Wildest Guitar Heroes\”.

He currently lives in London with his wife and two children, and has a son and a daughter, both of whom he has raised since the age of 12. He also has two step-daughters, a daughter and a son-in-law, who he has been married to since 2007. He lives in the south of England with his second wife, Tanya, and their son, Robert, who has been with the band since the early 1980s. Page has three children with his third wife, who is also a singer-songwriter, and one step-daughter with whom he had a son, Michael. He and his wife have a son named James, who was born in 1998.

Page and his family have three children, all of whom have been born in the United States. He started playing the guitar when he was 12, but was largely self-taught. His early influences were rockabilly guitarists Scotty Moore and James Burton, who both played on recordings made by Elvis Presley. Presley’s song \”Baby Let’s Play House\” is cited by Page as being his inspiration to take up the guitar, and he would reprise Moore’s playing on the song in the live version of The Song Remains the Same.
