Yes, and if you have had the pleasure to see the love letter to the 
electric guitar that he, Jimmy Page and Jack White
are in.......

"It Might Get Loud"

...........it is really endearing to see how entirely humble he is about 
what he does and the breaks he got by answering
an ad for a guitarist at his local high school.

At one point he takes this ridiculously massive sound that he has going 
with tons of effects and turns them all
off for you to see who the little man behind the curtain truly is.   
He's just strumming the most prosaic chord progression.
It takes great humility to let the public see behind the smoke and 
mirrors the way he did in that movie.

I have much greater respect for him as a musician and a human being 
after watching this moving movie.

I can't more highly recommend it.   (also, paranthetically,  Jack White, 
who I am not a particular fan of,  comes
off as a genius musician in this movie.   I just recently saw him play 
drums in the Dead Weather...........he was
amazing on drums and then took a killer guitar solo.....I'm becoming a 
fan now).
