This one, by the way, is excellent. Funny name, I'll have to look into that. |

Location: Central Massachusetts | Try "Screenplaying" .. a collection of Knopfler music from soundtracks and all (I think) instrumental. -- not as guitar-centric, though, to be fair. Oh and the Wag the Dog soundtrack, which is basically instrumental and more guitar oriented. |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | He doesn't have an pure instrumental album per se but he has done a bunch of soundtracks for movies like Local Hero, Cal, The Princess Bride, Last Exit To Brooklyn, and most of that music is instrumental and he has a compilation of movie tracks called, "ScreenPlaying" |

Thanks
And thanks for the music to The Country Gentleman for the music. He was the guitar king* if ever there was one while I was growing up.
*I would've said "guitar god", but some would be offended. :)

Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | Sorry I didn't see Wylde's name in the following paragraph: 
In 1999, Chet honored Tommy Emmanuel with the title of "Certified Guitar Player" for his lifetime contribution to the instrument, a rare honor shared by only three other people in the world (Jerry Reed, Steve Warner and John Knowles). |

Wow!
I've seen and heard him a few times, but not in pop music. On PBS I think. I'm sure, in fact.
What can you say? The guy is good. You run out of adjectives. |

I play mine that way on the rare moments when I stand.
I find it more comfortable and convenient than playing a wood box straight vertical.
Thanx for the opportunity to post this scary pic... |
