When I was 12 and hear "Scuttle Buttin'" by SRV. I couldn't believe the explosion of notes from such a clean sounding guitar.

 

I was too young remember the first time I heard Leon Russell, but I'm sure my mind was blown.

I've been listening to music for a very long time, in the early 50's there was the Met sponsored by Texaco, some of the earliest music I remember. Maybe the one song that changed things a lot for me ws "House of thhe Rising Sun" by the Animals. Who knew folk music could be rock music?

Pearl Jam Yellow Ledbetter. First time I heard the rawness and angst of this song crossed with one of the best guitar solos of all time I was hooked. For a song that was never released as a single but merely a B-side to reach the top ten on the charts expresses how good of a song it is.

Long ago and far away. I don't know what it was about this song and the understated guitar playing on the 335 and the lead solo at 1:52, but it really changed things for me as a guitar player back in the 70s.

Edit: I hope the freakin advert doesn't come on, it only lasts a second if it does and you can choose to stop it and listen to the song if you wish.

oh hell yes !!

one that "blew me away " though was this tune, I LOVED the drop tuning 3/4 of the way through, that was amazing to me when this first came out, I remember my best friend at the time had the vinyl first and brought it over to my house, when I heard this song I was blown away

I'm showing my age, but...the one song (of so many) that "blew" my mind,

was "Eight Miles High," by The Byrds! I had never heard anyone play a

"jazz" lead, on an electric 12-string, and so beautifully, too. Another

one, for making me crank of the radio every time it was on, for giving me

chills, too...Cream's "Crossroads," from "Wheels of Fire!" I still cannot

listen, to either one of those 2 particular songs...quietly! [biggrin]
