"Next year I'm just going to working on the guitar, it's time for me to go out there and do a solo album - my last solo album was 1988," Page told BANG Showbiz at the recent Classic Rock Roll Of Honour Awards in London. "I haven't really milked the situation; it's time to do another one. I'm known for playing many styles of guitar, and I need to re-visit all the different styles I can play."

Page plans to start the project as an instrumental effort before considering adding other players, including a lead vocalist. "I'm not thinking about singers, I'm thinking of an instrumental thing - I want to work with my strengths rather than my weaknesses," he explains. "I want to work with myself, I want to get myself up and running and once I'm ready I'll think about whether I need someone to sing on the music."
