Your Favorite Rock Instrumentals

[Lawnboy13]

I have a specific section in my music library devoted to nothing but instrumentals, some to just "rock" to while others are relaxing. So what are some of your favorites.

 

Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover

You owe it to yourself to listen to this.

Joe Satriani - Satch Boogie

If you've never heard it, a must!

Eddie Van Halen - 316

Eddie is real smooth on this one.

Neal Schon - 31-91

good stuff from the Journey guitarist

Neal Schon - Big Moon

Jazz influenced piece.

Faith No More - Woodpeckers From Mars

WOW!

Dokken - Mr. Scary

George Lynch can play.

This one NEVER gets old, from the Double Vision album. The only Foreigner instrumental ever on an album.

You're right... I never realized that this was The Alan Parsons Project. I think I've heard it many times just before a sporting event is about to begin... like the build up to a tip off.

These three are oldies, but absolute classics:

 

 

 

Sleepwalk - Santo and Johnny

 

All cool as they evoke feelings of a certain time, but "Green Onions" is the stand out here for me. There's just always been something about it that screams cool and snazzy.

Y'all remember this one?

 

Technically not a 100% instrumental with this guy yodeling, but close enough.

The part that matters most starts around the 2:40 mark.
