Guitar Instrumentals

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.

Girls and Guitars

This pick is all about Girls & Guitars. Also featured on Butter Boy's blog who has some more great comps on his site. Some of my picks of great guitarists who happen to be female. These are all some kick ass guitarists. Seen many of them live in concert and they shred. A few are not usually the first ones you think of, because they are in male fronted bands, but that shouldn't matter. I'm not going to name each of the guitarists (just find the bands on some wiki), but some of these are just really well known and a couple less so. I wish we could all see a couple of them still, but the bands are no more. The Cramps and Betty Blowtorch, we're only going to be able to see on someone's video channel. And it's too bad because they rocked. Anyway, I didn't include a few obvious choices (maybe in volume two if I ever make it), so be sure to call me on it in the comments.

Ghee Tars 2

Continuing on with the Ghee Tars series, this is volume 2. And it is also part of my Instruments series. I suppose they will all go along forever with new volumes eventually. Make sure you put your favorites in the comments below, so I consider them for future volumes. Again this is Guitar oriented songs. My favorite picks in this playlist. I think that maybe one or two in this series, could also be considered in the Beautiful Guitar series, but I kept them separate. If you haven't heard those, I suggest you look for them on this site, Search in the label section for Instruments. I really love this series, especially little bits like the Surf Punks comedy at the end. And things like Zappa (on both volumes), the Adrian Belew... Awwhh... They are all cool.

Ghee Tars 1

Another pick in the Instruments series. I call this one Ghee Tars. But that's just a funny way to spell Guitars. Started with some guitar solos that I liked, Songs that featured some cool hard guitars. And then it just progressed from that. I actually made this before the Beautiful Guitar series. Look for volume two of the Ghee Tars playlist in the next day or so. And by the way I pronounce the Ghee Tars as if I was uneducated and in the South. I kinda am in the South now and have actually never heard anyone talk the way I imagined it in my head and in the movies, but I'm not changing the title now. Notice that the album has multiple guitars on the cover.
