I love hearing guitar work. Any-acoustic or electric, it doesn't matter. If the technique and skills are there, any melody will do. I am a child of a woman who had me very young (16) in 1980, so I grew up listening to Ozzy, Poison, Def Leppard, Pink Floyd, Guns & Roses, etc. My step-dad and his buddies are actually fairly good hobby-players. My husband's friend is so talented with guitar playing, you give him ANY song to listen to, he can match it on his guitar in a matter of minutes, and he doesn't read a note of music.
Anyhow, post a list of songs, and even better, if you can find a link to the actual song, post that too. I was able to find all of mine on YouTube.
First is Def Leppard. No need to go into specifics-I think their talent speaks for itself. I think nearly all their songs warrant being here, so I won't single out just one. But "Pour Some Sugar on Me", "Photograph" & "Hysteria" are three-way tied as my favorites. "Two Steps Behind" is a close 2nd. I love the "Two Steps Behind" video (I have always had a teeny crush on Joe Elliot, and he is HOT in this one :o ): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv829hUuYAM&feature=related
One of my all-time faves, is Hellraiser by Ozzy. This is one that I remember my mom playing a lot when the album came out (back then she had cassette). I found the video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Pbl4x1OKqs
Of course, Trans-Siberian Orchestra cannot be left out of this. They are the only Christmas music I like anymore, and I love their other work too. I love classical music, but their style is unique and they give a real edge to it all. And for someone to be able to play "Flight of the Bumblebee" on guitar without a mistake is pure talent. It took me 4 months of daily practice to just do it at half-time when I played it in high school on flute. video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChImLYQt-Cs
Come on, let's hear yours'!
