Larry Carlton-Last Nite (there's more killer licks here then you could learn in a lifetime)
Robben Ford-Handfull of blues ( Robben reinvents the way blues should be played, you don't have to be a blues lover to enjoy this one )
Jimmy Bruno-Sleight of Hand (the master of be-bop guitar, he's got more tricks up his sleeve then VanHalen)
Jimi Hendrix-Any studio album ( not only was he a master guitar player but the Sh*t he recorded on a 8 track recorder was amazing, the reason I picked up the guitar, Thank you Jimi !!)
Phish-Lawn Boy (Frank Zappa meets Jerry Garcia Meets Carlos Santana Meets Duane Allman etc....)
Van Halen- Fair Warning (it rocks, Eddie & Dave just work magic together)
Indigenous- my favorite new band, alot of history in his playin
Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon (this album couldn't be more perfect, it really flows, creative mastery)
Frank Zappa-You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol.1-5 (great live tracks, I kick myself for never going to see him live)
Steely Dan-Royal Scam (the perfect marriage of jazz-rock, intelligent lyrics & songwriting)
