Essential MUST LEARN songs for Electric Guitar

[shredder87_rob]

In order to build up a repetoire of songs to learn that are famous for their guitar parts, I'd like to kick start off a list of essential MUST LEARN songs for the electric guitar. The songs you recommend must not be biased towards your favorite artists/songs, but should be songs easily identifiable for their guitar parts.


there's too many for me to list solely, so I'll start the ball rolling with the obvious

1.) Smoke on the Water - Deep purple
2.) Stairway to Heaven/Whole Lotta love - Led Zeppelin
3.) Voodoo Chile/Hey joe/Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix
4.) Sweet Child of Mine - Guns n Roses
5.) Walk this way - Aeromsith
6.) House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
7.) Back in Black - ACDC
8.) Paranoid - Black Sabbath
9.) Layla - Eric Calpton
10.) Albatross - Fleetwood Mac
11.) Enter Sandman - Metallica
