Page and that guy from AC/DC play sloppy like that.
My brother, who y'all have never heard of, but can flat freakin' play, always cracks me up when he does immitations. He will play like Jimmie Page or the AC/DC guy(Angus Young maybe?) sloppy, or do Eddie van Halen with the finger hammer thing(Bro can lay down an amazing version of "Eruption", or do Chet Atkins or SRV.
He always tells me the Jazz guys are the most impressive, because they can play ANYTHING, not all the Rock or R&B guys can do that.
Some of those country guys can really play, Chet Atkins, Roy Clark, Vince Gill to name a few. I don't think there is an individual "The Guy" for any musical instrument though.
