1	Rodrigo y Gabriela (2006) more music like this by Rodrigo y Gabriela add to wishlist While Rodrigo y Gabriela's self-titled third album is an utter and complete joy to listen to -- actually, it's more of a riotous celebration -- it's more than difficult to describe exactly what they do. This Mexican guitar duo met while in a heavy metal outfit together and soon found the local scene wanting. Both had roots in flamenco and other ... see all copies from $8.42! new only from $10.67!
2	A Decade of Hits 1969-1979 (1991) more music like this by The Allman Brothers Band add to wishlist The record industry's blatantly greedy ploy of remastering and "upgrading" CDs is shameful. The sonics are usually improved, but the CDs could have been mastered properly the first time. But then fans wouldn't buy the same titles twice. The Allman Brothers Band's indispensable compilation A Decade of Hits 1969-1979 was reissued in 2000, just nine ... see all copies from $2.38! new only from $10.48!
3	Are You Experienced? [US] (1967) more music like this by The Jimi Hendrix Experience add to wishlist One of the most stunning debuts in rock history, and one of the definitive albums of the psychedelic era. On Are You Experienced?, Jimi Hendrix synthesized various elements of the cutting edge of 1967 rock into music that sounded both futuristic and rooted in the best traditions of rock, blues, pop, and soul. It was his mind-boggling guitar work, ... see all copies from $8.69! new only from $8.69!
4	Crystal Planet (1998) more music like this by Joe Satriani add to wishlist Joe Satriani always stood apart from the legions of guitar virtuosos who surfaced in the late '80s, largely because he had a sharper ear than his peers. He didn't limit himself to hard rock or heavy metal, preferring to draw in elements of pop and jazz as well. At his best, he stood head and shoulders above his peers, many of whom were his former ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.82!
5	Blow by Blow (1975) more music like this by Jeff Beck add to wishlist Blow by Blow typifies Jeff Beck's wonderfully unpredictable career. Released in 1975, Beck's fifth effort as a leader and first instrumental album was a marked departure from its more rock-based predecessors. Only composer/keyboardist Max Middleton returned from Beck's previous lineups. To Beck's credit, Blow by Blow features a tremendous ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.28!
6	Ah Via Musicom (1990) more music like this by Eric Johnson add to wishlist After being overlooked on his debut, Tones, guitarist Eric Johnson burst onto the airwaves with the surprising hit "Cliffs of Dover." Armed with excellent chops and a clear tone, Johnson took a tired formula and made it sound fresh again. Despite his talents on the fret board, he plays with great restraint and chose to explore a variety of styles, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.62!
7	Passion and Warfare (1990) more music like this by Steve Vai add to wishlist Widely acclaimed as his best album, Passion and Warfare finds Steve Vai coming into his own as a composer, as well as bypassing vocals almost entirely. His style isn't quite as derivative of influences Frank Zappa and Joe Satriani as it was six years earlier on Flex-able; while some of Vai's sense of humor is still evident on tracks like the cock ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.83!
8	The Extremist (1992) more music like this by Joe Satriani add to wishlist The Extremist lives up to its name, continuing Joe Satriani's tradition of exploring new musical and compositional ground. A vastly different array of musicians assists him in creating the songs displayed on this all-instrumental disc, and as such the songs are different from even the usual envelope-pushing Satriani fare. The chugging "Summer Song ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.79!
9	Golden Heart (1996) more music like this by Mark Knopfler add to wishlist Mark Knopfler's debut non-soundtrack solo album, Golden Heart, was, in effect, the follow-up to the last Dire Straits studio album, On Every Street (1991). But it was also a compendium of the various musical endeavors in which Knopfler had engaged since emerging as a major figure in 1978. "Imelda" was cast in the mold of "Money for Nothing," with ... see all copies from $3.03! new only from $9.87!
10	Mind's Eye (1986) more music like this by Vinnie Moore add to wishlist Who's faster: Yngwie Malmsteen or Vinnie Moore? That was the question back in 1986 when this recording was released. An obvious clone of Malmsteen, Moore burst upon the scene proving that, yes, someone else could play "that fast too." The problem with Mind's Eye and the subsequent genre of shredding that followed was that it became stagnant. ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $13.74!
11	Live at Carnegie Hall (1997) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble add to wishlist Live at Carnegie Hall captures Stevie Ray Vaughan on the supporting tour for his second album, 1984's Couldn't Stand the Weather. The Carnegie Hall concert was a special show, since it was the only time Vaughan and Double Trouble added the brass section from Roomful of Blues to augment their sound; in addition, the concert featured guest ... see all copies from $3.15! new only from $6.06!
12	Chavez Ravine (2005) more music like this by Ry Cooder add to wishlist Three years in the making, Chavez Ravine: A Record by Ry Cooder, is his first "solo" offering since 1987's Get Rhythm. In addition, it is a concept album; but don't be afraid. It documents in mythical style the disappeared Los Angeles neighborhood of Chavez Ravine, a Mexican-American district that fought over by real etate developers, urban ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $11.98!
13	Friday Night in San Francisco (1980) more music like this by Al di Meola/John McLaughlin/Paco de Lucía add to wishlist Loose and spontaneous, this (mainly) live album is a meeting of three of the greatest guitarists in the world for an acoustic summit the likes of which the guitar-playing community rarely sees. Broken up into three duo and two trio performances, Friday Night in San Francisco catches all three players at the peaks of their quite formidable powers. ... see all copies from $5.09! new only from $5.79!
14	Merry Axemas: A Guitar Christmas [2005 Reissue] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The variety of holiday music has improved dramatically over the years and every "type" of music seems to have jumped on the bandwagon. Not only are there holiday rock recordings, but now there are holiday rock guitar recordings. While the music here is a mixed bag, it turns out to be a refreshing change from the contrived offerings that other rock ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.29!
15	Fires at Midnight (2001) more music like this by Blackmore's Night add to wishlist One of hard rock's most influential guitarists has opted for the cultural upheaval and regality of the Renaissance era, as Ritchie Blackmore and vocalist Candice Night spearhead a band who abides by a hearty cross-pollination of English folk, 16th century melodies, and progressive rock. Here, Blackmore injects tasteful electric lead lines into a ... see all copies from $12.89!
16	Lean into It (1991) more music like this by Mr. Big add to wishlist Mr. Big abandons the virtuoso guitar and bass of Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan for the majority of Lean Into It, and the result is a big, shiny mainstream rock album. It also translated into chart success with the hit campfire-singalong ballad "To Be With You." Elsewhere, Mr. Big provides some tracks to satisfy the new fans, along with plenty of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $18.59!
17	Until We Felt Red (2006) more music like this by Kaki King add to wishlist Having established herself on her debut as an important new acoustic guitar voice, and having expanded the sonic palette on her second to include other instrumentation, Kaki King once again rethinks her approach from the ground up on number three. While there is still deft fingerstyle guitar to spare, more of King's picking is set inside of a ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $6.99!
18	Is There Love in Space? (2004) more music like this by Joe Satriani add to wishlist Guitar boss Joe Satriani's ninth album reflects the terrain he's traveled more than it points to an unexplored one -- and yes, that does prove to be a good thing. Satriani has explored many directions over eight previous albums, mashing together rock, blues, jazz, and pure technical proficiency in a dizzying blend that bears his unique signature. ... see all copies from $6.83! new only from $6.83!
19	At Fillmore East [SACD] (1971) more music like this by The Allman Brothers Band add to wishlist Whereas most great live rock albums are about energy, At Fillmore East is like a great live jazz session, where the pleasure comes from the musicians' interaction and playing. The great thing about that is, the original album that brought the Allmans so much acclaim is as notable for its clever studio editing as it is for its performances. ... see all copies from $22.65! new only from $22.65!
20	Live Alive (1986) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble add to wishlist Live Alive is a magnificent double-length showcase for Stevie Ray Vaughan's guitar playing, featuring a number of extended jams on a selection of most of the best material from Vaughan's first three albums, plus covers of "Willie the Wimp," "I'm Leaving You (Commit a Crime)," and Stevie Wonder's "Superstition." The album may not be exceptionally ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.88!
21	Joe Satriani (1995) more music like this by Joe Satriani add to wishlist A guitar virtuoso and genius of instrumental composition, Joe Satriani explores deeper waters with a haunting yet richly entailed work of stripped-down blues-rock and improvisational jazz. This record, self-titled as Joe Satriani, puts the guitar wizard into a streaming new light of musical impression, as his efforts point toward a sincere ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.75!
22	Time Machine (1993) more music like this by Joe Satriani add to wishlist Time Machine is an excellent double-CD set providing something for just about everyone who's interested in Joe Satriani's music. Disc one reprints four tracks from the 1984 Joe Satriani EP, while also showcasing nine new studio tracks and a loose jam session, and disc two is a collection of 14 of Satriani's best live performances. Included among ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.72!
23	Old New Ballads Blues (2006) more music like this by Gary Moore add to wishlist Since the early '90s Belfast guitar whiz Gary Moore has returned again and again to the blues, leaving his metal phase far behind. Old New Ballads Blues is exactly what the title says it is, a mix of old blues (covers of songs by Elmore James, Willie Dixon, and Otis Rush), new blues (five Moore originals), ballads (half the album) and, well, blues ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $5.08!
24	The 7th Song: Enchanting Guitar Melodies - Archive (2000) more music like this by Steve Vai add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.00!
25	Trilogy (1986) more music like this by Yngwie J. Malmsteen add to wishlist Yngwie Malmsteen's second best album after Rising Force, Trilogy finds him delving wholeheartedly into fantastic, medieval themes and lyrical imagery. Yngwie's compositional skills are at their peak, and of all his albums, the lyrics here contribute the most to the overall feel of the music. The guitar solos, as always, are jaw-droppingly fast and ... see all copies from $4.42! new only from $7.61!
