I used to date a guy who played a 12 string accustic, there was nothing that boy couldn't pick out and play by ear. Gave him a Frank Zappa album one year for his birthday, 6 weeks later he was playing it for me on his accustic in perfection. He wasn't a good vocalist though, that's where I came in. Dynamo Hum in a growled alto voice was a trip for most listeners. I prefered to do either Bowie's stuff or our own with him though, it was esier on my vocal cords and I don't like Zappa's extstencilism.
The album that turned my world upside down was Moody Blues - Long Distance Voyager. The same guy gave it to me in 1984, It fit me then to a tee and still fits me like an emotional glove.
