Tommy Chung, blues guitarist

1. Hoochie Koochie Man - Muddy Waters

This is the ultimate blues song by the undisputed king of the blues. Released in 1954, it combines the power and sexual allure of the primitive country blues with a more sophisticated uptown vibe.

2. Insatiable High - Masayoshi Takanaka

In the late 1970s, Japanese jazz-fusion musicians were beating the Americans at their own game. From copycats to masters of their own sound, they had everything going: melody, tension, texture and colour.

3. Carry On - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

This 1970 14-minute epic live recording from Four Way Street epitomises the hippie era. The extended guitar jams send you on an emotional roller coaster, taking you to insatiable highs and drooping lows.
