    I'd go for Pop classics, a CD I already listened to as a kid. It's a compilation album.

    Tracklist
    1 Meat Loaf– Bat Out Of Hell 4:45
    2 Boston– More Than A Feeling 3:26
    3 Kansas (2)– Carry On Wayward Son 3:28
    4 Spin Doctors– Two Princes 4:18
    5 The Gun– Race With The Devil 3:37
    6 Alice Cooper (2)– Poison 4:04
    7 Europe (2)– The Final Countdown 5:11
    8 The Byrds– So You Want To Be A Rock 'N' Roll Star 2:07
    9 The Doobie Brothers– Long Train Running' (Live) 6:00
    10 Blood, Sweat & Tears*– Spinning Wheel 2:41
    11 Mott The Hoople– All The Young Dudes 3:30
    12 Ram Jam– Black Betty 2:29​

    11 years ago, when I started listening to A7X, I discovered Nightmare album and I said to myself "this sounds so great that it literally makes me want to learn electric guitar", so I did and now I can play most of it's tracks, there's still some solos to learn like Save Me, but for now it's hard af hahaahaha.

    Pink Moon by Nick Drake. It features some of the most beautiful guitar playing and songwriting I’ve ever heard. It’s a lot of finger picked, British folk stuff, which I’m horrible at, so it’s pretty unobtainable to me otherwise 😂 But if I could play any album front to back, it would definitely be that one

    Good question! I don't think there's one, full, studio album that I've decided to learn. For a while, early on guitar wise, I did mess around with playing along to Sabbath's "Live at Last" album (which is actually more of a bootleg than an actual live album), but I don't think I learned every single song on the album; a lot of those Iommi solos are quite challenging (well, for me, anyway).

    In terms of someone else's album that I wish I could play along to? I'd probably go for something by Van Halen, something from a real, virtuoso player.

    For the guitarist I am and aspire to be at my age, I'm going to go with the new album from Andy Timmons, Electric Truth. Andy's touch, feel, taste, phrasing and tone are incomparable, and he's also got chops to burn - when he wants to.

    Timmons is great. Correct me if I'm wrong, Ed, but didn't he do a bunch of session work for Danger, Danger back in the day? For some reason I think he did, but I could be totally wrong.

    Wasn't session work - he was a writing, recording, touring member of the band. The one album and tour I know he was on was "Screw It!" which had some solid material, but he's since mellowed into a crazy chill tone monster.
