I've always loved this all-synthesizer rendition of Richard Rodgers's Slaughter on Tenth Avenue:

 

[Bestiarius]

As a ukulele player myself, I think Jake is the greatest.

My favorite guitar instrumental. So incredibly hard to have a mass of guitars pull off anything this clean and complex. The Call of Ktulu by the Warsaw Guitar Orchestra.

WOW! I saw Robert Fripp's League of Crafty guitarists once. This is vaguely reminiscent of them, but WAAAY better. Metallica done by a guitar orchestra -- whoever came up with that is a genius.

A couple Bill Monroe tunes.



The Lee Weddin' Tune

I could probably go all day w/ bluegrass instrumentals, but I'll switch it up w/ a couple of guitar gods. Probably anything from these guys but I'll just pick one.

Joe Satriani

Another by Jeff Beck . . . . . the other old dude fender player on stage is pretty good too!

 

[Scud49]

Melting Pot - Booker T and the MG's - right up there with "Time is Tight":

 

[Aluminny69]

95% Instrumental ( claiming poetic license here)

 

[Aluminny69]

Don't forget his greatest hit!!!!

 

[Scud49]

Amazing jazz/rock fusion- Alphonse Mouzon and Tommy Bolin:

 

[Bigboote]

Probably Zappa's most-covered tune:

 

[wire chief]

A masterful job on Jefferson Airplane

 

[Replicant]

Take your pick of most Steely Dan songs, but Black Cow highlights their amazing horn section and the late Cornelius Bumpus' tenor sax solo at the 4:15 mark is butter!

The Shadows with Telstar
