Yeah, brilliant. Also the live variation he does of Going Home at the end of concerts- "Local Hero-Wild Theme" with just the guitar and organ in background.

And, as a few have already said, Mike Oldfield's work.

Also loved the instumental version of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game"

For the Love of God -- Steve Vai

Psycho Chicken · 19-03-2006, 11:54 PM

Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick.

Aparently Bonham's hands were bleeding most times he played it.

A change of seasons is a 24minute masterpiece

Yeah, the version of that on the sultans of swing compilation is awesome.

Good to see a coupla people going for tubular bells, haven't heard that since I was a kid. My vote would have to go to hocus pocus a song by a 1970's dutch rock group called focus, It kinda has some vocals, but it's yodelling so I reckon it still counts as instrumental, really wild flute solo in there as well. In terms of modern stuff, POD have done some good short instrumental bits.

Pat Metheney - The Road To You (album)
Awesome Jazz Fusion

pb02 · 20-03-2006, 10:00 AM

Classical Gas!

Tommy Emmanual does a great version of this.

biomechanic · 20-03-2006, 10:05 AM

A Warm Place - NIN
Stomache - Three Month Sunset (which sounds like A Warm Place version 2)
Dirty Three - Amy
Fall Short of Certainty - Because of Ghosts
You Fool - Because of Ghosts

MustangNicko · 20-03-2006, 10:27 AM

Steve Vai - For the Love of God

[Tonko] · 20-03-2006, 02:25 PM

looks like metallica have the most votes, and here are mine:
welcome home (sanitarium)- metallica
the thing that should not be- metallica again
domination- pantera (solo going from side to side with bass goin is just mental)

BlueRaven · 20-03-2006, 02:27 PM

The guitar solo from the movie "The Crow" (which appears in the rare movie score soundtrack CD, different from the score CD which contains the songs from bands in the movie).

BJ · 20-03-2006, 02:32 PM

Who about Green onions by Booker T and the MG's and Albatros by the Original Fleetwood Mac.

Thanks heaps guys especialy wadsymoo that gary moore is awsome on the guitar, just what i was after.

sphell · 20-03-2006, 02:59 PM

the guitar at the start of Dire Straits "I want my MTV"....love it.

And Metallica's older stuff has some good guitar instrumentals....

Also the guitar in Guns n Roses "Sweet child of mine" is pretty good.

henry 351 · 20-03-2006, 03:15 PM

The late great Stevie Ray Vaughn, get yourself a copy of his album "Couldn't stand the Weather". Not pure intrumental, but not a lot of singing either.

I Think the track everyone would recognise is Scuttlebuttin'.

The other is "Cavatina" by John Williams, everyone recognises this as the theme to the movie "The Deer Hunter"

As mentioned, plus, Always with me, Always with you

Erotic Nightmares
Blue Powder
For the love of God
Tender Surrender

John Petrucci's solo album:

all of it!

God to see there are a few DT fans around. Theyre incredible. Petrucci = robot. The guy is just freakishly fast.

Is that a DT album cover as your avatar? It just looks really familiar.

I forgot one of my favorites before.
Steve Vai - For the love of god.

If you can find it the guitar dual from the movie "Crossroads". No not the Britany Spears movie. The one with steve vai in it.

I know its not an instrumental but half of the song is:
Dream Theatre - Glass Prison.

Mark351 · 20-03-2006, 03:45 PM

Losfer Words - Iron Maiden

Crossroads is a great movie for guitarists and blues fans. The guitar dual at the end where he plays for his soul is Steve Vai on his own parts, and a mixure of Ry Cooder on slide, and Arlen Roth and Bill Kanengiser doing the classical bit at the end.

Another couple of great instrumentals would be a few by Jeff Healey (the blind guy out of Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze), one is Hideaway, the other is See The Light

I have all the Metallica CD's and greatest instrumentel I reckon ir Orion off Master of Puppets. I had Kashmir stuck in my head, what ain't a bad thing with all this manufactured poop crap.

Dazza XLT · 20-03-2006, 06:54 PM

The start to "What It Is" by Mark Knopfler,

Hi Crusher.

Yes my avatar is Dreamtheater's 'Train of Thought' album cover.

Wish Dreamtheater had enough fans for them to justify coming all this way. What i would do to see them live.

Oh another song from them (not an instrumental but half of it is) that i love and i love to play is 'Goodnight Kiss'.

Van D · 20-03-2006, 07:43 PM

Norweigian wood - Victor Wooten
The tenacity of genes - Stu Hamm.

People, loof for Bombay Vindaloo.... listen and tell me what you think!

max · 21-03-2006, 03:15 PM

Sasha – Hank Marvin (of the Shadows). But then again any Shadows instrumentals, and who could forget The Atlantics, eg, Bombora? (Only if you were born after 1975 I suppose!).

oyob2003 · 27-03-2006, 05:03 PM

dueling banjoes or is it guitars............from the movie deliverance.

Same here. I'd travel interstate if necessary.
