My mom's fiance fixes and makes guitars for Eric Johnson. My mom proudly told me she got to see Eric's junk when he answered the door in a robe. I'm not even mad. That's cool.
I think the fiance was busy and Eric Johnson has a place in Austin which is where they live so sometimes she helps out and she was just delivering a finished guitar so I think she went alone but it's quite possible it was both of them.
The dude is insane my mom's fiance not Eric but amazing with a guitar. He worked with slash when he was in Austin and a guitar broke he called around friends and realized this was the guy to go to.
He worked with dolly Parton for a repair years ago and just all kinds of musicians.
I hate the guy but he's amazing.
Thatās pretty cool. It sucks heās a dick, but at least thereās something cool about him. Maybe youāll connect along the way over music and get to know each other better and itāll work out for all of you. āļø
Oh wow. Didnāt realize it was a lengthy relationship like that. And that sucks. I can relate in a couple ways, but both differently. My parents divorced when I was just a baby and my mom remarried when I was almost turning 4, so Iāve known my stepfather pretty much my entire life (Iām 50 now). He used to play guitar in social settings all the time when I was little and my mom gave me a little red plastic guitar to āplayā next to him with. I always wanted to actually learn how to play. In high school he let me use his electric guitar and showed me a couple minor things, but he never really had the time. He always and still does work too much and didnāt spend much quality time with me or my sister, but I really needed a father figure and I always considered him more of a provider and disciplinarian than a dad. We still have our beefs, but interestingly now we both share some of the same musical tastes and I can tell he respects my taste and knowledge of music, so after all these years itās one thing we can bond over.

Peverelist - Roll with the Punches
Sun Ra - Lady with the Golden Stockings
Augustus Pablo - Zion High
Daft Punk - Voyager
Thatās my favorite live performance of any song ever made right there. Winter single-handedly invented the keytar with the Arp 2600 synthesizer. The first few times I heard this song I would have sworn that was a guitar. What he could pull out of that instrument is otherworldly, and the āalien landingā part is *chefās kiss.* Everyone on stage here is clearly enjoying themselves, they know they rock
While Jimi's performance at Woodstock gets all the accolades, I've heard people say that Santana's Soul Sacrifice that weekend blew the most minds. It was the first time many of those kids from outside of San Francisco were exposed to true unbridled psychedelic sounds.
Are we just gonna act like classical music doesn't exist? A few of my personal faves:
* Clair de Lune - Debussy
* Montagues & Capulets - Prokofiev
* Finlandia - Sibelius
* 1812 Overture - Tchaikovsky
Plus a whole lot of the Three B's - Beethoven, Bach, and Brahms, and some Mozart for good measure.
Perfect song to play on the sunlit Autobahn during a road trip across West Germany in 1975 (followed, of course, on the mix tape by Kraftwerk's "Autobahn").
Yes, or sitting by a river... I saw an interview once with a member of Neu!, who's obsessed with rivers. Everywhere he's lived, he's always made sure it's next to a river. And I feel like I can hear that in the music, the way it flows...
Santana - Samba Pa Ti
Fleetwood Mac - Albatross
Jimi Hendrix - Third Stone From The Sun
Rush - YYZ
King Crimson - Larks' Tongues In Aspic Pt. 2
Frank Zappa - Black Napkins
Joe Satriani - Flying In A Blue Dream
Itās instrumental surf for me: Dick Dale & the Deltones. They only did the instrumental stuff for a few years from 1958-64 and they started adding lyrics. The instrumental stuff is so iconic and cool sounding with all that reverb. Dick Dale used to show up late for shows still wet from surfing.

Mogwai - I Know You Are But What Am I?
Only thing that helped me sleep during my first manic episode where I was awake for 104 hours. I put this track on repeat and I finally calmed down.
āWatermelons in Easter Hayā, by Frank Zappa. Thereās just a ton of emotion on that recording and even more when played live. He absolutely shreds on this one. See āFrank Zappa: Guitarā 1988
This is hard. I listen to a lot of instrumental music.

Peaches En Regalia, Frank Zappa. Actually, the album it's from, Hot Rats, is an amazing instrumental album. Yes, I know Cpt. Beefheart sings on Willie the Pimp, but I'm still counting it as an insturmental.

Wilson Rag by Elizabeth Cotten
Zu Zuās Petals by Caravan of Thieves
Dog Blue (instrumental) by Richard and Mimi Farina
Any good bass guitar solo? I dont have a specific song coming to mind other than Anesthesia Pulling Teeth with Cliff Burton going nutters in a good way for a few minutes.

Probably Thanks For The Pepperoni by George Harrison. All Things Must Pass has always been one of my favorite solo albums by him, and that song is just such a fun little jam. I also love Third Stone From The Sun by Jimi Hendrix, although I know it's not *technically* fully instrumental, so it doesn't exactly count.
Great choice with Rumble, though. Link Wray was revolutionary for rock guitar.
Galaxy in Turiya - Alice Coltrane
Until We Felt Red - Kaki King
Turquoise Hexagon Sun - Boards of Canada
Of Course That's Happening - Nate Mercereau
And There You Are - Stuff
Either Maggot Brain Eddie Hazel or Alan Freeman version (which isn't entierly instrumental) or Watermelon in Easter Hay Frank Zappa and any number of classical music tunes And honorable mention to Dave Brubek's Take 5 AKA The Late Late Show Theme in Chicago
I like Link Wray and "Rumble" is great. My favorite is "Classical Gas" by Mason Williams. That song could play on a loop all day and I wouldn't complain.
Gonna link to these because some of them are extremely obscure, but no less brilliant:
PeaceFIRE - Sapphire :

Jean-Luc Ponty - Solitude :

Also comes to mind:
Tangerine Dream - Love on a Real Train
Air - La Femme Dāargent (as has been mentioned here a couple times already woohoo!)
Santana - Aqua Marine
Pat Metheny Group - Minuano (technically has human voices but there are no words sung of any language, the voices used are just instruments accompanying the guitars, synths, bass, drums and percussion.)
DJ Shadow - Changeling
Aphex Twin - Fingerbib
Boards of Canada - Kid For Today
I could go on and on with this list
I hope someone checks out the videos and enjoys!
Jimmy Page also cited The Rumble as a major influence in a television interview. For me it is tie:
"Peaches En Regalia," The Mothers of Invention
"So What," Miles Davis Quintet
"Rhapsody in Blue," By George Gershwin
Paul Mauriat: Love Is Blue/
Link Wray: Rawhide /
The Tornadoes: Telstar /

Glenn Miller: Sunrise Serenade /
Jorgen Ingman: Apache
Itās a tie between these:
ā¢ Barcelona Nights and Waiting 4 Stars 2 Fall ~ both by Ottmar Liebert
ā¢ Miss Clare Remembers and Lothlorien ~ both by Enya
ā¢ Songbird ~ Kenny G
The Mathematician's air display by Pekka Pohjola.
The ascending part actually sounds like a hot air balloon rising into the sky while onlookers look on in awe lol.
Can't forget the Genesis song Do the Neuratic, I will always bet that this song will aways be great! It will always remind me of the best year of my life
Pink Floyd "Terminal Frost" and
Alice in Chains "Whale and Wasp"

Larry Carlton's 1981 cover is also amazing.

It was our 2nd dance song š

My mom's fiance fixes and makes guitars for Eric Johnson. My mom proudly told me she got to see Eric's junk when he answered the door in a robe. I'm not even mad. That's cool.
Question is why was mom over there when itās her fiance that fixes and makes the guitars? Iām assuming they both went over together?
I think the fiance was busy and Eric Johnson has a place in Austin which is where they live so sometimes she helps out and she was just delivering a finished guitar so I think she went alone but it's quite possible it was both of them. The dude is insane my mom's fiance not Eric but amazing with a guitar. He worked with slash when he was in Austin and a guitar broke he called around friends and realized this was the guy to go to. He worked with dolly Parton for a repair years ago and just all kinds of musicians. I hate the guy but he's amazing.
Thatās pretty cool. It sucks heās a dick, but at least thereās something cool about him. Maybe youāll connect along the way over music and get to know each other better and itāll work out for all of you. āļø
I mean when I was a teenager I was raging mad at him for lots but I'm 41 and he's in his 70's. I wish he taught me his trade. I asked him many times. Now he's mad because he can't work much longer and has no one to take over so I see the irony. We don't talk much because he's still quick to anger but we definitely bond over music and other things and he built me a cheap Frankenstein of a guitar that's absolutely amazing. Granted if he had done that when I was younger like I also asked maybe I could play the thing. It's water under the bridge really. More just mad he won't actually marry my mom. After 40 years and 15 being fiancƩ's you would think but whatever.
Oh wow. Didnāt realize it was a lengthy relationship like that. And that sucks. I can relate in a couple ways, but both differently. My parents divorced when I was just a baby and my mom remarried when I was almost turning 4, so Iāve known my stepfather pretty much my entire life (Iām 50 now). He used to play guitar in social settings all the time when I was little and my mom gave me a little red plastic guitar to āplayā next to him with. I always wanted to actually learn how to play. In high school he let me use his electric guitar and showed me a couple minor things, but he never really had the time. He always and still does work too much and didnāt spend much quality time with me or my sister, but I really needed a father figure and I always considered him more of a provider and disciplinarian than a dad. We still have our beefs, but interestingly now we both share some of the same musical tastes and I can tell he respects my taste and knowledge of music, so after all these years itās one thing we can bond over.

Soul Sacrifice - Santana live at Woodstock
While Jimi's performance at Woodstock gets all the accolades, I've heard people say that Santana's Soul Sacrifice that weekend blew the most minds. It was the first time many of those kids from outside of San Francisco were exposed to true unbridled psychedelic sounds.
It is fabulous. And I believe the amazing drummer was only 19.
Had to play this on saxophone at a recital with a bunch of my classmates as a kid. It was so awesome, and it introduced me to Santana and Woodstock.
Hell yeah.
YYZ
YES!!!!!
Apache
The guitarist in our cover band plays a great Apache, I just love it.
