Any solo violin piece written by Nicoli Paganini... he was the first true virtuoso.

Hell yes, another one I forgot to mention! :cool: The drum solo in the John Coltrane collaboration version is sweet.
Speaking of John Coltrane collaborations, got to put in a good word for his and Duke Ellington's version of "In A Sentimental Mood".
Also, a lot of Marty Friedman's instrumentals, in particular "Forbidden City", and also "It's the Unreal Thing", which is great because it's nice to see a virtuoso lead guitarist other than Satch using a riff as something other than background noise for a widdly solo. :D

Stream of Conciousness- Dream Theater *Great, structured hooky, virtuosic instrumental*

Building the Church (Live @ Tokyo)- Vai *Beyond Amazing soul shattering piece*

Anything by Tommy Emmanuel. *Easily my favourite solo instrumentalist of all time*

Mind Storm, Devil's Slide and Crystal planet (live)- Satriani

Baden Powell's "Manha de Carnaval" is brilliant, he's one of my favourite acoustic guitarists.

And while I'm on Latin stuff, I know the Gipsy Kings are a bit corny, but "Inspiration" is just awesome IMO.

You've heard "Arpeggios From Hell" right? I mean, who hasn't...?

Jerry C. does a retaliatory rendition called "Sweeping From Heaven".
I just started listening to this 'unknown' very recently. I'm one of those "asian people can't play guitar" kind of people, but when I saw this dude beating out his heart and soul through his strat, well, I'm not really one of those people anymore. THIS ASIAN CAN PLAY.

G3...make some room...there's another great moving in soon...

Please tell me what you think...

I could sit here and repeat a lot of people so I'll just add a song.

John 5's Sugar Foot Rag (which I believe is a cover, correct me if I'm wrong.)
