SylvesterStallone Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I love instrumental guitar music, I've been trying to find some good bands that play it, but haven't had much luck. Any recommendations?Here is a clip of the kind of music I'm talking about, especially the first 20 seconds...: That kind of synthy/electric guitar over a drum beat is hypnotic.... Quote

T Patten Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 My mate's into a band called Emerson, Lake & Parmer (sp?) and I've heard them play some cool instrumental stuff. Quote

johnezz Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 My mate's into a band called Emerson, Lake & Parmer (sp?) and I've heard them play some cool instrumental stuff.I've got quite alot of ELP's stuff,Progressive Rock, all members are bloodly talented. Particularly Kieth Emerson, he is the greatest keyboardist ever.I love them, but it my be too out there for most people. They did manage to headline the California Jam though and had abig following back in the day.It's not all instrumental though, Greg Lake is a good singer and sings a fair bit.I've got Wried and Blow by Blow bby Jeff Beck, they are great instrumental albums.

moreblack Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Jeff Beck has some of the best, coolest instrumental albums of the last decade.Who Else!, You Had It Coming, and Jeff are all awesome.Also check out Jesse Cook for acoustic moody intstrumental tunage. Quote
chicagocoma13 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 My favorite song of all time is an instrumental piece by Rush titled La Villa Strangiato. !0 minutes of pure guitar bliss. The first Yngvie Malmsteen album is almost all instrumentals that are really good as well. Too bad he could never come close to that 1st album throughout the years--- Quote
