I like many styles of music, but if it's got good guitar playing of any ilk I'm there. If an album on a List comes up Unavailable it has probably switched distributors, and looking up the album title in Search will get you the current page. Drag!
"Genre hopping greatest instrumental songs that I have been able to find here on eMusic. Yes, I am guitar-centric but I'll see what else I can find."

Fine instrumental from a guy who has been such a hitmaker that it is sometimes overlooked that he is a fierce picker.

That's Okie Dokie Stomp please! One of the hottest swinging blues instrumentals ever.

Not my favorite rendition of this classic by Danny but it's here (favorite version is from some audience cassette tape a friend had).

One of the WOWingest instros ever - I saw Danny in 1988 without knowing much about him and when he got to this song my jaw just dropped open - "Who is this guy?".

Self-confessed showoff track that started as a Guitar Player magazine soundpage(funny little square black thing you put on your turntable -wow) where Danny was just running through the old bag of tricks. Pretty damn impressive.

Stellar melodic instro from the Master of the Telecaster.

This will likely be the only keyboard driven tune on my guitar-centric list but it's so funky.

My candidate for one of the HEAVIEST instros ever.

Astonishingly beautiful track from Jeff Beck. You could really just put the whole album here since it's all instrumental, and throw in Wired for good measure, but this song still gives me chills.

LOVE this song - you could actually just put this whole album here.

Tight, right and tuff instro from the Fabulous Thunderbirds era.

The orchestral version so to speak, slower and lopey.

Spectacular shimmering surfish instro from an outstanding band.

One of my favorites by the godfather of rock instrumentals. This one was playing during the Jackrabbit Slim's scene in Pulp Fiction.

My FAVORITE Link Wray song, well maybe a tie with Run, Chicken, Run. Love it.

The classic instro interpretation of the Chuck Berry classic by one of America's greatest relatively unsung musicians.

THE SONG that spun heads and made people think, "Damn. How's he play that fast?"

One of my favorite instros ever, spawning a legion of covers, you can find Danny Gatton's and Brian Setzer's on eMusic too.

The surf classic by the Chantays revved up and tossed on the barby by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Dick Dale - hot.

SRV's stunning instrumental version of the Hendrix classic - goosebump material.

Book 'em, Danno. You all know this one.

Great blues instrumental - learn the guitar part intro and you'll impress everyone at the blues jam.

Great horn driven classic. Funky.

Intro sounds just like the Venture's greatest hit but it's not - sort of like sonic mirror writing - check it out.
Save Comments
The Marketts doing their wayout best.
Save Comments
The original of one of the best known surf classics by the Chantays - if you can ever find the 80's cover by Dick Dale and Stevie Ray Vaughan check that out.

OK, this isn't musical rocket science but it's still cool.

That's THE HUCKLEBUCK, thank you - a great blues instro from Earl Hooker. Yes, Norton's favorite song.

One of my favorite instros, by Laika and the Cosmonauts - the gods of Finnish instrumental rock. Seriously, they're way cool.

The incomparable Simon Chardiet. Five star - check him out. Surf the Wild Gowanus, dude.

Great R&B instro classic - the 3 verses of guitar near the intro are amongst the most lusted after licks by blueshounds everywhere.
Save Comments
No studio version available, so the live will have to do ya.

The KING of blues instrumentals, Freddy King, that is, in the original version.
