Over & over & over agian and not so much the song but finding my personality on what my voice was on the instrument.... VooDoo Chile (Slight Return)
Man, I was feelin' it !
The tone, the notes, the dive bombs, the whole fricken vibe !
17 years old and I was getting high on music !
Today, as a musician, I have hints of my youthful past surfacing like a thief in the night.
I think I play with the same flare though but to a more seasoned taste ( I should hope so ! )
I now have vaultful of influences that I have meshed together to form who I am Today.
Tomorrow I shall again "challenge" myself and see what flavor I have a taste for and bring to the Table for that matter!

Yeah, I gave up trying to narrow it down to one song. Can't be done in my head.

this is the song that told me to play solos and to start playing seriously.
To get me to start playing guitar was a old Buddy Holly album I was 5 yrs old running around the house with a small acoustic guitar ( you know the one with the string for the strap) singing "That'll be the Day" and my sister yelling in the background " MOM HE WONT GIVE ME BACK MY GUITAR!"
and the rest is history

If I absolutely had to pare it down to just one song, it'd probably be Deep Purple's "Child in Time."

But I sympathise with tonejones...

...Screaming for Vengeance entire album...

...[Sabbath's] Heaven & Hell album...

Rory Gallagher's TASTE: the song CATFISH.
And all the other meanwhile "ancient" bands: Cream, Johnny Winter (with Rick Derringer), Zep, Sabbath, Deep Purple, the early Uriah Heep, Jethro Tull, van Halen- only to name a few...
And PINK FLOYD of course, I absoluteley love this tasteful, great guitarplaying and the guitarsound of David G.

Being 11 yrs old and my brother's gf convincing him to take me along to a midnight movie showing of The Song Remains the Same...that movie, especially on the big screen, changed my life. If I had to narrow it down? "Dazed & Confused" and "Since I've Been Loving You" live.

Pink Floyd, Time.
I was 15 and had just started playing. I heard that solo and said "THAT'S what I want to be able to do." Six months later, I was able to.

Whew!!!

That's pretty much impossible for me to narrow down to one song or artist but I guess the one song that actually kick started my engine when I was just a kid ( and I know this is going to sound crazy but...) it was Gordon Lightfoot's " Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald ". Even to this day I like to throw that one on once in a while because I like to listen close to everything that his lead guitar player is doing in that song. And around the same time BTO's "Aint Seen Nothin Yet" tripped my trigger.

Ahhh yes...those days of being 8 years old, tying two long shoe strings to the end of a tennis racket and the other end to a handle on a tall set of dresser drawers and doing wind mills. That was my Les Paul and Marshall stack back then.... I can't believe I'm telling you guys this shit!!!

What made me actually start playing and wanting to progress was "Do You Feel ( Like We Do)" on Frampton Comes Alive when I was around 12 or 13 I guess and from there it just went all over the place from KISS to Sabbath to Cream to Boston and so on.

My dad played and he was in few local groups so I guess it was in the blood.

Not one song but the Sgt. Pepper album. First album I bought with my own money played it over and over and over.

"Have you heard" by Mayall/Clapton on the Beano album.
