10 Influential Guitar Albums

My favourite album no:1. Eddie Van Halen, a guitarist who redefined what was possible on six strings. His sound on this album - christened 'The Brown Sound' - remains the holy grail of guitar tones. Amazing songs, production and musicianship!

The greatest shredder of all time! Neo-classical metal at it's best. Yngwie invented the genre with this album. Virtuoso guitar playing and great songs.

The debut studio album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Blues Rock/Psychedelic Rock extravaganza! Super great songs, killer album!!

"Friday Night in San Francisco" (1981) is a live album by Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucía. The best live acoustic guitar album!

The first Gary Moore album i heard was Victims Of The Future. Super great guitar player with great tone and feeling. His strat tone is amazing! Great album. R.I.P Gary Moore
