Anything, as long as it's from an instrumental only, guitar centered album (no vocals on the album!) from any genre. For example:
Love, classics? Got Segovia? Great!
Love jazz? Got Joe Pass? Cool!
Love blues? Got a favorite, all instrumental blues album, no compilations, not even Hendrix (sorry, gotta make something tough here, lol)? Got... (shoot, I dunno, I ain't got)? Sweet!
Love pop? Got Santo & Johnny? Nice!
Love rock? Got Earthless? Awesome!

Remember: favorite cut off an instrumental only, guitar centered album, no vocals on the album!
Here's one of my all-time favorite guitar focused tracks, one of Harvey's most blistering tracks from his oh-so-cool, all instrumental LP, Baby Batter. And what a fine tribute to one of the coolest, hippest DJs ever, Dusty Street!

Well, no because that great album has vocals on a number of songs but, YES! because "Stop" is just such a darned good number! Had they wanted to, Michael Bloomfield and Al Cooper could have made a killer all-instrumental album!
I remember seeing this a while back. I love how the drummer yells, and also between numbers the bass player saying, "Hi I'm Lakshmi Singh" (haha, for those who don't know, Singh is a woman who is a newscaster on NPR radio), and the music is great, of course. Is there an all-instrumental album with these numbers on it to meet the challenge? Great pick, in any case.
Nice! Reminds me of Pat Metheny. Great trio and I love how the guitarist and bassist play off each other. Excellent! Is this off an all-instrumental album?

Thanks! I'll check 'em out.
Interestingly atmospheric. Nice, thanks. I was expecting something move heavy metal for some reason.
Interesting ambient rock music and certainly some nice guitar work. Not sure focus is guitar centered work, but always nice to hear something new (to me). Thanks.

Great stuff there, thanks! And we certainly must include Hispanic music when talking about guitar as the instrument very likely has its origins in Spain.
