mcmurray Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Dave Hole. He's not completely instrumental, but well worth a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 The "Blues" need a vocalist (IMHO), for that "back and forth" stuff, between them and the guitarist. But, Jeff Beck has some great instrumental albums...blues, fusion, jazzy...etc. And, Buddy Guy is another one, who often does some "instrumentals," mixed in with his normal vocal/guitar stylings.

Bowdiddley Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I was going to say Jeff Beck also, check out "Live at Ronnie Scotts" great instrumental album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I'd say a lot of my recommendation would depend on one's definition of "blues." W.C. Handy? No guitars there in the original. 1930s Harlem-type stuff as in Billy Holiday, etc., etc.? Hey, a lot more complex music than three chords and finger speed, and again, little in the way of guitar work until the music began to be reinterpreted in the 1950s. Call it "Blues?" Call it "Jazz?" I dunno. Delta acoustic stuff? Early Chicago electric? Guys like Butterfield? What of the New York interpretations of the 1960s that combined folk, folk blues and jazz? (Fred Neil for example, or Karen Dalton - both now long gone.) m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
