Best Instrumentals

[JerryWexler]

Band need to come up with a few instrumentals, need some help.

 

[mark73]

Best would depend on personal choice I guess.My favourites would be:

My Sweetness - Stuff
Space Glide - Lee Ritenour
Captain Fingers - Lee Ritenour
Morning Dance - Spyro Gyra
Goin' Home - Yellowjackets
Mile High - Yellowjackets
Sleepwalk - Larry Carlton
Room 335 - Larry Carlton
Take That - Lee Ritenour/Larry Carlton

Not sure what your playing ability is, but if guitar, those are some pretty advanced ones playing wise.But great discs nonetheless.

Look no further than RUSH: YYZ, La Villa Strangiato, Where's My Thing, Leave that thing Alone, Limbo......
These are the greatest Rock instrumentals ever recorded...

 

[metallichris]

Metallica - The Call of Ktulu

 

[The Dice Man]

For a live band playing pubs, Always With Me, Always With You from Joe Satriani's 'Surfing with the Alien' is pretty damn cool.

If you have a sax player get some Lilly Was Here by Dave Stewart into em.

 

[Mad Dog]

Fluff - Black Sabbath

Hocus Pocus - Focus (not technically an instrumental as it contains yodelling and operatic vocal wails, but it doesn't have any lyrics)

 

[Contra Mundum]

Batman Theme as covered by the Jam

Anything by the Shadows

Green Onions - Booker T and the MGs

 

[boppa]

Green Onions - Booker T and the MGs

Agree. Anything by Booker T and MGs goes well.

 

[materamagic]

For those who like their surf instrumentals check out The Blue Stingray's "Crash-n-Burn" its good stuff.

Duanne Eddy, The Shadows

For those who liked Paul McCartney's "Ram" album, he did that entire album instrumental with an orchestra, its an interesting project

I have heard some good Cliff Richard and The Beatles instrumentals picked by legendary guitarist Chet Atkins

 

[mark73]

Albatross - Fleetwood Mac

Great tune.

 

[mark73]

Green Onions - Booker T and the MGs

Another great one.Time is tight was up there as well.

 

[Mr Magoo]

The Loner ~ Gary Moore
Crying ~ Yngwie J Malmsteen
To live is to die ~ Metallica (ok so some words are spoken in the middle but this song has some great riffs in it that just build & build & Kirks solo in this is just so melodic)
Captain Nemo ~ Michael Schenker Group
