Recommended Guitar Music

Here is a brief list of some of the Music that has touched me and inspired me in my playing.

The CD (One Mind) by Joaquin Lievano is especially moving -- great tone, feel and emotion and build up!
 
Surprisingly a very rare CD. In my search there is very little Video of this Great Guitarist. There is an Instructional video (rare) of Bassist's Andy West (Formerly with Steve Morse/Dixie Dregs) called: "Creative Musical Approaches For Progressive Electric Bass" released in 1988 by: Backstage Pass, that features Joaquin Lievano in it. I cannot state how good the solo in Joaquin's Song: Remembering from his CD "One mind" is --  awesome!

Below: "Remembering" From Joaquin Lievano: One Mind, CD.



Some of these "recommendations" while not strictly in the style of "Shred Guitar" are certainly worth-wild to look into. It is really all about the Feel, Emotion, Grooves and Build up! 

Sadly, many Guitar Oriented Instrumental CD's today while techincally good and some very good unfortunately lose the Feel, Groove and Build up! So here is what I consider a good amount for one to digest for the time that showcase techinic without losing the Emotion. These "recommendations" are not exclusive but enough for the moment.
