Gimme your favourite guitar songs!

[Leonard Smalls]

Mustn't miss out David Fiuczynski and his twin neck...

[Central Audio]

Wishbone Ash's album "Argus". This contained many great tracks. For me, their best album. I just love the twin, harmonising, weeping guitars. Here's one of the tracks,"Throw Down The Sword" off the album. The solos beginning at 3mins 39secs get to me every time!

Man this brings back some memories 16 years old with my whole life ahead of me,great post.

[Gizza]

"In This Place" from Robin Trower's superb "Bridge of Sighs" album. Again, containing many great tracks, so this is a taster. Fairly minimilist, but great feeling. Soulful vocals from Jimmy Dewar too.

[Gizza]

I first heard this guy when he played support for Robin Trower and was blown away. Turned out he was mentored by the great Walter Trout. The track here features Walter.

[Gizza]

Rory Gallagher's "A Million Miles Away" from the Irish Tour DVD. Originally recorded on his album "Tattoo", my favourite album of his along with "Blueprint" and "Irish Tour".

[Gizza]

The great Jimmy Page on "Since I've been loving you", one of my fave Zep tracks of all time. I played the original version of the track from Zep III a couple of years ago, to a work colleague in his early twenties, who likes modern metal etc. and hadn't heard any Zep. The track finished and he muttered "WOW". Zeppelin are now his favourite band. 'Nuff said...

[Hayward]

When you hear the "battle" between Richard Thompson, guitar & Dave Swarbrick on violin, you are listening to Electric Folk being invented.
Great great choice.
repped

Ha! I repped notaclue on the quiet for this one already, he posted a load more and then stopped! Now you've repped him maybe he'll come back . This and others he posted have been bang on the money...

I do love a noteworthy indie guitar sound. Here's another New Zealand indie guitar classic.
