What’s this week’s question? Let’s dive straight in…
Question: What is the best guitar instrumental track -NO VOCALS!!!!!
Answer: Ocean – The John Butler Trio
Pretty Little Dity – Red Hot Chili Peppers
Anything by the Ventures.
theres many, but my fav is Van halen-Eruption
My favorites include
Star spangled banner Jimmy Hendrix
Testify Stevie Ray Vaughn
Rail Driver Eric Clapton
Ode to Elmore Eric Clapton and Jimmy page
Scuttle buttin Stevie ray vaughn
You and you alone can decide which is best
Acoustic would have to be a song called "Dee" on Ozzy’s first album titled Blizzard of Ozz. The guitarist Randy Rhodes wrote it for his mother.
Electric would have to be "Eruption" on Van Halen’s first album. Eddie Van Halen is a guitar god/genius. If you havn’t heard of one or the other I highly recommend you do.
Acoustic
Bron-Yr-Aur (Jimmy Page)
Electric
Eruption ( Eddie Van Halen)
inner flight by primal scream
wonderful
Cavatina played by John Williams
The solo version is a divvil to play
For the love of God -Steve Vai
Electric all the way, example being The Nutty Rock(Nutcracker Mix) from the Dropkick Murphys(Singles Collection Vol. 2) and man, I know there is supposed to be no vocals but there’s like 4 words in the song so I’ll put it on anyway, that song being Horrorbeach by the Horrorpops, very gnarly surf tune!
i reckon its gotta be
Eruption – Van Halen
ALBATROSS BY FLEETWOOD MAC !!!!!!!!!! IT’S A CLASSIC
The music comes from the writer – the guitar playing comes from the guitarist.
Put your question a different way – and ask who plays the best guitar instrumental! You would have to go a long way to beat Hank Marvin of the Shadows for electric – and you would really have to go a long way to beat Bert Weedon for Acoustic. Check it out and let me know what you think – I play guitar and these people are my idols! If you haven’t heard of them, go get some – it is worth it!
Got t b ‘apache’ Hank Marvin stood the test of time most guitarists have a go at it.
Just about anything by Jeff Beck I would say.
Totaly agree with Beck but try these guys:
Gary Lucas – plays both types, based in NYC
Greg Koch – Fender spokesman, out of Milwaukee
Danny Gatton – I want EVERYTHING he’s done. "88 Elmira St." Grammy nominated all instrumental.
Lenny Breau – fantastic player. Had a seven string acoustic and was equally skilled on electric. SRV’s "Lenny" was about him.
Parisienne Walkways. Gary Moore.
electric a few words in it title willy the pimp, album name hot rats damm i forgot the name of the band
