 Both Gilmour and Page are bluesmen, always have been, and in the fine tradition of blues, almost everything they play is lifted.  Same goes for Clapton, Hendrix, Winter, many others.   As for Page's "stealing", he and Zeppelin contributed to the blues more than they stole from it.

Gilmour is one of the finest electric guitar players ever. 

I vote Jimmy Page.

Thanks. Smile
 
And yes, that is pretty much my thoughts on this. It also annoys me when people say Gilmour can't shred. Just because he doesn't play fast doesn't mean he can't.
 
Confused
 
Shred guitar or shredding refers to lead electric guitar playing that relies heavily on fast guitar solos.
 
 
I completely loathe 99.8 % of shredders.. just have no feel or emotion. Dead
 
Yes me too.

Both are great, but I'll go with Jimmy so he doesn't go down so hard.
