I love classical and hiphop and other stuff too. But guitar based songs hold a special place in my head. I starting learning guitar when finishing highschool to help me create some identity and other stuff maybe. I know I usually post learning guitar resources, but don't have a guitar with me on my trip so have to instead talk about myself I guess.
Below are some of my favorite musicians and songs of theirs. All but the last two songs were formative to me when I first started playing. Lately, been listening a lot to the Pixies and Cure, their feel just agrees with me and my perspective at this time of my life. And one of my buddies who isnt around anymore was a big fan so perhaps I like to remember him and the freedom of youth with those two.
Muddy Waters "Mannish Boy"
Huge fan of Chicago electric blues. I even was a jackass and got vanity plates for a few years that were "MNSHBY" that my buddies always made fun of me for saying mans baby and ship like that. In the few years I had that plate only one person said Mannish Boy to me and got it.
Jimi Hendrix, "Freedom"
Love me some Hendrix, also would add Ritchie Blackmore's Man on a Silver Mountain and Frank Marino, and Santana for some amazing guitar. Steve Vai is cool to but a little to heavy for the kinda chill I'm usually looking fer. My favorite Hendrix song is probably "I don't live today" because I keep delaying living my life.
Frank Zappa, "Joe's Garage"
Love Zappa, really enjoyed Frank's son's cover of Joe's Garage when I had enhanced my perspective and was intoxicated. He closed the show with Flashing Red and Blue lights, and the Joes Garage Version where they ramble about a kid messing up his life and having to stick closer to church oriented social activities. Zappa also tried to counteract facist Tipper Gore's attempts to unfree speech.
Ten Years After "I'd Love to Change the World"
Love me some Alvin Lee, this song talks to me about the angst of the world and not knowing what to do to change a world run amok.
Bob Marley "Redemption Song"
This is a great song about justice. Always love chilling to Bob, whether the tide is high or low no matter how many chances are tomorrow.
The Pixies "Indie Cindy"
This is one of my favorite music videos of all time, so heavy having that lady and guy waste that other guy. And rocking song, Pixies are still great, gotta see them live someday.
The Cure Awesome Concert in Appledorn
I love this concert, really wish I could have been there. Love The CURE, FIRE IN CAIRO.
Most of these guitarists have been hugely inspirational for me too. There is some great music being produced today but the golden guitar era is gone and largely replaced (in the mainsteam) by computer generated sounds. There are however still many great exponents of the guitar but unfortunately their audience is getting smaller. Nice post!

Amazing post!!
Great song list!
I LOVE The Cure . . . funny thing, but I sort of missed them in the 80s, not that I didn't hear them on the radio, but because at that point I was far more focused on Jazz.
It wasn't until I met my husband in 2006, that he really introduced me to The Cure and Robert Smith, and their back catalogue, and they quickly became a favorite.
We went to see them in Tampa, and were supposed to meet both of his kids there, but when we got there nothing was going on . . . as it turned out, the concert had been canceled. Damn.
They rescheduled it for several months later, but by that time Lina had moved to Chicago, so it was just me and Marek, and his son Kamil. We had a GREAT time, and even though they didn't have a keyboardist with them (what??? No Trust???), it was still, hands down, one of the finest concerts I've ever experienced.
And they did FIVE encores. Great audience participation - we were literally surrounded by faux "Robert Smiths." ;-)
Bob marleys redemtion song just has its way of getting me in dat happy mood
muy buenos tus articulos, no solo para los amantes de la guitarra, tambien para los amantes de la buena musica.
Nice show from The Cure.
