Hey guys, I haven't been on here for a long time, since I didn't really have the time because of the move to the USA :D
But this is going to change now, I'm going to be as active as before...

And I'm starting with this new thread: What do you thing are the 10 songs a guitarist hast to know?

I'm thinking about Black Dog (Led Zepellin) as the first, and then some GNR songs like Sweet Child O' Mine and Paradise city...

Little Wing by Hendrix. Can't think of another song that has helped me improve that much. Seeing how Hendrix smartly uses all his tricks really opens up whole lot. And next to that it's a really great song!

Hotel California comes to mind, on a 12 string.

great songs guys, just listened to a few of them...
I think that Black dog is on my list because the led zepellins were the one of the firsts who used the pentatonic scales that much in their songs (especially black dog)

He's a near-70 rocker who, once upon a time, played with Procol Harum. Meanwhile...

No nominations other than Rock?

Led Zeppelin's music was kinda slanted to/rooted in the blues and blues is kinda slanted to the pentatonic scale, I think...

Turn up what ever you listen through and click the link below, if you enjoy blues/rock.

Back in the 70's he was big, then there was band problems and like many other people he has been somewhat forgotten.

Trower has a number of good songs.
