Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has paid tribute to Jack White, describing the musician as a “hero” to guitarists both old and young.

Page appears alongside The White Stripes star in the forthcoming film documentary, It Might Get Loud.

Released in the UK next month, the film also features U2 guitarist The Edge.

In an interview BBC 6 Music, Page said he had enjoyed sharing his experiences with both musicians.

"I think Jack White is definitely a hero to a young generation of guitarists and an old generation of guitarists,” he said.

"There’s no doubt about that as someone who has roots.

“Not only that, Jack, every time that he has a new project, it’s always worth checking out because he won’t disappoint you."

However, Page was less forthcoming when asked if he had plans to work with White in the future.

"Not immediately that I know of. I think everyone’s really busy at this point in time, but it’s great that it manifests on this film,” he said.

It Might Get Loud will be screened in select cinemas from January 5.

  • They're both awesome musicians, as well as perceptive, creative and charming men. It Might Get Loud is a delightful film that warms the heart and kindles a sense of wonder about music and its creators. Jack White adores Jimmy Page too, so they've got some mutual admiration going on. I admire Jimmy Page all the more, because he can see and acknowledge the noble soul and heroic spirit in Jack White. Two amazing artists who have blessed our world with their magic...

  • Saw a trailer for this film. Looked a bit crap to be honest. Interesting to hear Jack White might be producing the next Stones record though.

  • RT @Gigwise: Peter Um is supporting Thom Yorke. I guess his parents couldn't be bothered to think of a surname.
