Tosin Abasi, or one of the two mastermind guitarists behind Animals as Leaders, has become an incredibly respected guitarist over the course of the past few years. Mainly because he makes most other guitarists look like children born without arms. So what does Abasi listen to for inspiration in his playing?
Well he sat down with Music Radar to list out his 10 favorite guitar records. I knew the guy was into jazz, but some of these surprised me. Others I didn't even know existed until I read this and now I'm in love. So check it out and jam the ones you don't now! It's worth your time! Here they are.
