I agree with Sleepwalk - both versions - Santo & Johnny, and Satch. Haunting tune. Satch has some nice little embellishments, and the "Frippertronics" are cool, but S&J's (original version) is almost archetypal. Absolutely Beautiful!

 

Strangely, as much as I dislike Vai, "Tender Surrender" is my favourite guitar instrumental tune of all time. It pretty much sums up everything I like about Vai, without going too overboard. It's also a wonderful musical story. Most of the time, I think Vai goes all virtuoso for no other reason than "just because he can". In this tune there seems to be a genuine point, though. His weird trills and legato make sense. No note seems too much. It just falls into place.

 

I'm also a sucker for Santana's "Samba Pa Ti". Almost too simple. Right to the point...

more recently: "Green Man" by Bardo Pond.

 

 

Fine list... other than Green Man which I've never heard.

 

For the more recent stuff, Icarus Dream Suite my Malmsteen. I used to be quite into Vai and Satch etc... Now, other than the very Zappa-like Flex Able album, I find it pretty hard to listen to most of it for an extended period but still quite like For The Love Of God, Crush Of Love, Always Witn You etc...
