Watermelon in Easter Hay by Frank Zappa: beautiful, emotional, perfection.

Why presume I haven't heard it?

It's a great song; I actually have the score of the guitar parts and it's on my list to learn :D

Anything by Markus Mayer (not the german artist guy)... solo stuff like Car Crash and Sometimes Rains... i found the mp3s ages ago (as in BEFORE broadband was going.. lol) and never been able to find anything since..he also plays with a cheesy power metal band called Beholder. The two solo tracks i have are great!

Igor Belsky is my favourate instrumental guitarist going, he mixes Satch, Vai and Petrucci with a little of Gilberts crazyness..adds in some country stylings here and there(!) and puts his own unique slant on it..its not all balls out shred, and hardly a 'typical neo classical arpeggio sound' to be heard (for once!)

Some MP3's here:

Adrenaline Junkie off 'Road Tested' is insane (track 2 on the playlist sample for that album).. has a guest solo from Herman Li from DragonForce on it.. see if you can guess which one ;)

Clips:

Adrenaline Junkie - http://www.guitar9.com/audio/roadtested2.mp3
25 Hours a Day - http://www.guitar9.com/audio/timesensitive4.mp3 (check the super legato run.. Satch would be proud!!!!)

The guy is SERIOUSLY good, about the only artist of this type i can stand to listen to a whole album from without getting bored!

Hey man, yeah I moved house and had no internet for 3 months or so. I'm currently only using this internet connection (which was set-up from the last renters of this flat) until it stops working - maybe in a week or so! After that, I'm not sure whether or not I'm getting connected to the internet, sometimes it felt like I would waste too much time looking at or talking about guitars when I should actually have been appreciating what I had and playing it!

Willow I was not presuming anything.

I was playing on the Zappa album title "The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life".

aha, of course! Is that the live album that Johnny Cash was supposed to be on, but didn't appear so the band covered Ring Of Fire?

I think I've got that lying around somewhere :D

I hear that they played WMiEH on some TV show whilst showing a clip of Frank on his last legs, unable to walk properly. Poor bar-steward. Died far too young.

Mid '60s Martin 12 String, if you can find one to play.
