Good guitar songs for cover cd?

[poolkill]

Hey folks,

I was planning to make a guitar cover cd as a (free) christmas gift. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a few good, relaxing, guitar-heavy songs good for some easy improvisation. I was thinking along the lines of BB King, Eric Clapton, Blues-y as thats what I play.

All ideas welcome! Thanks.

[PS] I hope this is the right forum :/

John Lee Hooker - Boom Boom
Clutch - Electric worry

some nice bluesy songs, with the theme of 'vamanos' :D

vamanos - translation from spanish to english means literally 'get outta here'

Dust in the Wind has some decent guitar parts.

Or if you really want to push it, learn Classic Gas.

Better yet, learn the Tony Emmanuel version :P

Sublime is kinda bluesy and it's pretty guitar intensive.

Anything by them (:

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Mr Banker

Signe- Eric Clapton. Some nice Bossa-Nova stuff.

Why not an instrumental of Sleigh Ride? Stu Hamm does an epic version on bass.

Walking In The Air is fairly simple if you tune down to drop D- I'll do up a rough guitar tab for the first parts if you want. I haven't got the parts after it goes D Harmonic Minor (And D major) done yet.
