What Are Your Favorite Instrumental Tunes?

MaVolta · ‎02-13-2018

The subject of instrumentals came up in another thread, so I thought it might be fun to see what instrumental tunes everyone enjoys. Instrumentals cover a wide range of genres when you start to think about it; classical (of course), movie soundtracks, pop, jazz, big band oldies, blues, country, rock, and many instrumental versions of your favorite song titles, too.

So what instrumental music do you like? What are your favorite tunes or instrumental versions of your favorite songs? Multiple tunes and multiple genres are okay. And, if you have favorite on youtube, feel free to post the link so that we can listen, too!

Try some speedy guitar work, how about SATCH'S BOOGIE by Joe Satriani?

Love him him an his lightning fingers. Absolutely great player. Used to be

Steve Vai's guitar teacher too.

Mark Knoffler's "Screenplaying" cd. What a fabulous collection of the most beautiful instrumentals that are exuberant yet soothing. The instrumental is exquisite when it blends right into the theme from the "Princess Bride". If you have never heard this album/cd, give yourself a real treat and turn on play.

Looking back at some of the picks here, Knopfler's Screenplaying has already been suggested. Different genre, but Whammer Jammer by the J. Giels Band.

Lady Down on Love,the original Alabama piece. I dont know who did it but it was a wonderful arrangement. Not over done,acoustic guitar lead,gentle rhythms with a subtle background combination of violin and soft organ. loved it.

Now for something completely different: ( Monty Python reference there )

"Bad Horsie" - Steve Vai h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHubmkOe-MQ

That was pretty good. Monty Python? I think I should have heard of him before. What year was this?

To Admin: I wonder why this link didn't show up in my email. Others have been. Any idea? I got the email, but without the link.

Vexed · ‎10-24-2022

The song was from 95. Monty Python reference was from the Monty Python's Flying Circus show. Something John Cleese said on some of the sketches transitions. Didn't have anything to do with Steve Vai. Just a remark after some calm songs to a rocker.
