 "Words" by The Christians. 

No religion.

So, it was thrilling quiz for those with the in depth knowledge of the UK charts?

Hmm I think maybe the video isn't available in Europe. Anyway the song was "Words" by The Christians. Very recognizable melody which I got straight away hearing it in that guitar piece. 

Never heard of it (which probably explains why I couldn't guess, though I can hear some of the licks Page stole in there!).

Wouldn't be surprised, Davey Graham was part the same folk circle as Bert Jansch, from whom Page ripped off quite freely.

I don't think that's fair. Even Mike Oldfield in his book credits folks like Jansch and learned how to play some of his stuff exactly like Bert did, so he would know how to do it. And I would NEVER be able to tell you the parts in Mike's music that have much Bert in them! There are probably way too many .... 
 
Learning a craft and using it ... so you can't play a chord, because you are ripping off Beethoven's A-Minor-Augmented69th on 7th street?
 
Strange ... we're all ripping off Mozart and Beethoven ... stop fooling around!
 
 
 

tl;dr

I didn't know about "Words", but immediately recognized it from this (being a huge Mike Oldfield fan):

Page ripped off Jansch's arrangement of "Blackwaterside" without crediting him. There was a lot of that going on at the time. Paul Simon ripped of Martin Carthy's arrangement of "Scarborough Fair" without crediting him. Nobody's suggesting that they ripped off the tunes, which were traditional. But you can certainly plagiarize someone's arrangement. 

doesn't ring a bell....
