The Ledge #706: Loud Loud Loud Loud Guitars (Pt. 1)

Everyone knows I love a good theme, and this brand new idea came earlier this month when I was playing the remastered version of Slim Dunlap's "Loud Loud Loud Loud Guitars" on the new release episode. How about a show devoted to nothing but songs about guitars? Or even songs that mention guitars in the lyrics? This seemed to be an easy-peasy idea.

But I wanted some input from my friends, especially for the songs that fit the theme that may not have the word "guitar" in the title. So I put up a post on Facebook, and the results greatly helped tonight's show. Thank you to everybody who contributed to that post.

As I was filling up the folder for this show, though, I quickly discovered that I had way more songs than I needed. This means that tonight's show is part one of a two part series. Due to the March new release episodes, though, part two will not happen until the second half of the month. But I promise that episode will be as fabulous as tonight's was.

Do you have any songs to consider for the future episode? Which tracks did you enjoy the most this time around?
