A very little known Hendrix recording called "Tax Free." The studio version. I love the way that it builds up in intensity and speed and then drops back to the beginning. Every guitarist should hear this song.



That is really an amazing song. I have a live version of that which I think is from the Live At Winterland Disc 2 or something? Mind=Blown :thu:

Miles Davis' pretty much whole catalogue... Byrd, Bird, Hancock, Trane, Brubeck too.

 

In the more western spectrum however, Explosions in the Sky's "The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place"

 

Allman Bros. - In Memory of Elizabeth Reed

Greg Howe Victor Wooten and Dennis Chambers - Crack it Way Open

The Mahavishnu Orchestra - Dawn

1. Little Wing - SRV version. Not sure if it counts since the Hendrix version has vocals, but they will play that song at my funeral.

2. Orion - Metallica

3. Glassgow Kiss - John Petrucci. I'm not a DT or Petrucci fan, but that song is amazingly good, especially the breakdown and solo sections.

In no particular order:

 

Dance of Eternity - Dream Theater

The Fish - Yes

Don Pardo Pimpwagon - Bumblefoot

La Villa Strangiato - Rush

 

In addition: When I saw Jethro Tull a few months ago they did an amazing instrumental version of Aqualung which needs to be added to my list.

 

and although they don't really count (they contain words, but very few..):

Tarkus (Explosion) - ELP

21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson

Hypergeek - Devin Townsend Band
