So what you're calling facts in this post...are opinions.
Elliott Sharp taught prepared guitar techniques to some students, by the way (a good friend of mine was one of those students), but yeah, not to little kids. (Re Elliott Sharp, I'm pretty sure we talked about that a long time ago--shortly after I first joined the site, I think. I wound up telling you a couple people I'd played with, which I usually don't do online.)

I never took a lesson in my life. When you say there are many guitarist above the caliber of Jimmy Page what are you basing that on.

Are far as rock guitar goes for that era there were few above his caliber. Blackmore was for sure. In some ways Trower was but he was just copping Hendrix licks for the most part.

I've never taken lessons either, but the factual evidence comes in the form of what makes a guitar, the way you write the songs that you want to play, etc.

The bad rap that Page gets is based off of mostly shows during the 75 and 77 tours where he was getting too wasted and as a result, sloppy.

His playing on the albums is both technical and brilliant for that genre. Have you ever sat down and tried to learn solos like Achilles Last Stand, Since I've been Loving You, Black Dog, and yes, even Stairway to Heaven? His note choices, the subtle little ways he accents his bends, his vibrato, and how the melody perfectly fits the song is much harder to replicate that you think.

Back then I could play Sabbath, Aerosmith, Nugent, UFO, ZZ Top, etc. well before I was able to accurately pull off Page.

And the vast majority of his live playing is ridiculously good. Ever listened to How The West Was Won? The solo on this is killer!
I can vouch for that album.

So what we're all familiar with was done in one take.

David Gilmour on the other hand would record a dozen or more different solos and then cut and paste the best parts from each together. He'd then record that as the final version.

The use of the word take is misleading.

You mentioned Derek Bailey too, right? I remember that.

Joe Pass, Robert Fripp, Fred Frith, Marc Ribot, John Fahey, Sir Richard Bishop, Nels Cline, Zappa, Arto Lindsay, Mary Halvorson, Richard Dawson, Kawabata Makoto, Bill Frisell...shall I go on?

I'm done in this thread since this response has won the entire argument.
