This started as something and ended as something different, sort of. My idea at first was to have instrumental guitar songs that I could use as intro music. Something I could just go to if I needed a song quickly to bring someone up to a stage as their intro music. I had already made a series of Beautiful Guitar Solos. The idea on this one was to have a driving song with good energy. You won't believe it but the original thought I had was also to steer a bit clear of surf music. It didn't quite work out that way. Listening back to the pick, it barely can be used as intro music, it definitely has surf music, even the energy part isn't quite all there. But I had already made it and I kinda liked what had come out. So here you go. Random guitar instrumentals that don't quite fit together, but you might like anyway.

Right up my alley! I was a guitar teacher for 7 years. Loving the choices here. I had a guitarist mix on my blog as well, with a lot of similar choices. Props for the older Steve Vai track, from shortly after his departure from Zappa's band. That Eric Johnson track is epic, I used to use that intro solo as a practice piece for my students. Plus, ending with Buckethead is epic, that guy is just phenomenal. Sure, Link Way, Dick Dale, The Shadows, some highlights coming from the surf genre. Racer X is one I never thought I'd come across again. Solid choices start to finish. And don't apologize for the surf, that genre doesn't get the love it deserves.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong, I love surf music! I just wasn't planning on having any on here. It just happened.
