Favorite instrumental?

My fave.....there are other earlier recordings from the Smother's Brothers show......but the montage was an interesting interpretation.

One of my favorites from Will Ackerman, the founder of Wyndham Hill records:

Bricklayer's Beautiful Daughter - www.williamackerman.com - YouTube

His "Passages" album is outstanding (out of print, but available on amazon).

Jimmy Page and I share something in common. (If you haven't seen "It might get loud" Do IT!

Jimmy Page listens to Link Wray's 1958 Power Chord/Distortion Classic called Rumble - YouTube

CG was the first song that popped into my head.

Was the Smothers Brothers Show the one where Williams (or the other guy) played a clear acrylic guitar with gold fish inside?

The interwebs are fighting my search pimp hand.

My favorite changes almost daily, but here's a GREAT one. Hey, it's summer, so the king of surf guitar fits well...

Play it LOUD, the way Dick Dale intends it to be heard.

I would also go with "Fanfare for the common man" but go old school with Aaron Copland.

Aaron Copland - Fanfare for the Common Man - YouTube

Bach fugue in D minor

J.S. Bach - Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV 565 - YouTube

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Little Wing

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Little Wing - YouTube

Bunch of other stuff, but gotta get to work

And Dick Dale plays extremely loud in person.

I agree and tend to think of surf music instrumentals as some of the best. Various artists can really rip. It was a good time in history when bands played and kids danced with not all that much singing.

A few others:

Firth of Fifth (David Myers Plays Genesis) - YouTube

Blue Rondo A La Turk - Dave Brubeck - YouTube

Ippolitov Ivanov - The Procession Of The Sardar - YouTube

Remember that jazz & classical are mostly instrumentals, and there are just too many great themes to choose from for me to have just one favorite.

Jean Luc is tough to beat for instrumental, pretty much any Django or Hoagy too, for some reason the Django stuff blocks the embed. If you dig the piano stuff, Vince Guaraldi
