I'm looking for suggestions of older music that he should hear and listen to develop a musical taste and music that should inspire him to play.
So what are your top 3 cds that you think a budding guitar player should have in their collection?
Thanks for the suggestions

Hmmm. I have a teenaged nephew who plays the guitar, too -- last year we bought him (and he liked) "Are You Experienced?" by the Jimi Hendrix Experience and "Van Halen" by, uh, Van Halen.
Apparently the electric guitar kids these days are still into Jimi and Eddie -- my nephew requested Hendrix because he had heard of him from his guitar teacher, but had never heard his music (his parents are, I am sad to say, country music fans).
I'd also throw in some George Thurogood -- maybe "Bad to the Bone."
