Occasionally, when in the mood, I still like a bit of gratuitous guitar music. Problem is most of my reference points are from the late 80's and early 90's when I was far more in tune with that type of music, as well as it probably being a bit more of a golden age.
The stuff I used to listen to was Eric Johnson - Ah Va Musicom, Vai - passion and warfare, Satriani - Flying in a Blue Dream, Steve Morse - Southern Steel, Jeff Beck - Guitar Shop etc etc.
I have purchased instrumental guitar stuff in the past 20 years but most of it has been shit. Only the occasional Satriani and Jeff Beck album has hit anywhere near the mark from that original lot.
Andy Timmons is an exception, really like Resolution, probably the most well rounded instrumental guitar album I've heard bar none, I.e. I can get most of the way through it without going mad. Also like Pete Thorns effort too, Guitar Nerd.
Don't really like anything tooooooo flash like Paul Gilbert etc, leaves me cold.
Anyway, what does it for you and what have I missed?
