I am relatively new to LTSpice and wanted to find a guide to amplifier design using LTSpice or any circuit sim for that matter. Something that lines out what parameters you are looking for. How to measure them and make adjustments etc.. There must be something out there that walks you thru this process with some education along the way?
Doesn't have to be free either. I would gladly pay for it if its a worthwhile reference.

Hello Jeff
There is new on my website "LTspice Manual/Working Paper for Tube Amplifier Simulation" 64 pages for free with some tube amplifier examples ready to download and "Simulate".
I wrote this document mainly for myself, because I’m an amateur user of the nice LTspice software. In the past I always fail with the transformer simulation and was not sure how good the tube models are, which I found on the web.
Sorry, I have no time to answer questions to my manual/working paper; first my English is very bad and take me lot of time to answer questions. Second, I have so many not finished tube projects on my bench.
Regards Kurt

You don't design an amplifier with SPICE. You do that yourself and then test your design in SPICE.
This was my first thought, too. LTSpice does not tell you what to do - it only answers the questions you enter.
Anyway, a look at Bob Cordells papers will be helpful in design and simulation of amps.

I an electro-mechanical engineer. I understand the software doesn't design the amp for you. Its only a tool to evaluate ideas. But it can also be a good learning tool allowing you to change things around and see the effects.
