A buddy of mine, a non-musician, recently asked me about the Les Paul / Fender relationship in rock music. He said to his ear, all guitars seem to sound very similar, especially when distorted.

I want to give him a simple education in guitar tone by providing a song that exemplifies the quintessential Les Paul tone and then the Fender Strat tone.

What two songs would you suggest I share with him to illustrate this?
