Members Tone Deaf Posted May 19, 2013 Members Share Posted May 19, 2013 So imagine that a friend tells you he wants to learn to play rock guitar and wants to know what he should listen to in order to get exposed to a variety of styles and innovations. What's your list of 10 essential records for the aspiring rock guitarist? Taking a stab below...how closely do we match up? Muddy Waters - Muddy Waters 1941-1946Chuck Berry - Johnny B. GoodeJimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced? Led Zeppelin - Led ZeppelinBlack Sabbath - ParanoidDeep Purple - Made in JapanPink Floyd - Dark Side of the MoonVan Halen - Van HalenOzzy Osbourne - Randy Rhoads TributeU2 - Joshua Tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted May 19, 2013 Members Share Posted May 19, 2013 That's a pretty good list. I have recommended in the past to young players to memorize Led Zeppelin II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stormin1155 Posted May 19, 2013 Members Share Posted May 19, 2013 There's so much great rock music it's pretty impossible to boil it down to 10 recordings. Your list is pretty good. I might add some Beatles and Stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FrankenSteinberger Posted May 21, 2013 Members Share Posted May 21, 2013 Looking at the Tone Deaf list (a good one), I find myself wondering what the players on that list thought was essential listening . And then what was the essential list for that generation, etc...Of course, recorded guitar music only goes back a hundred or so years (perhaps quite a bit further, if you consider piano-rolls), so as you go futher back in the musical generations, players would be citing influences within their geographic sphere.As far as my list, well, if I just can't keep it to under 50 recordings.
