ELECTRIC GUITAR

VA - Pioneers Of The Electric Guitar [2013] (3 x CD's)

75 tracks of sweet electric guitar. You should digest this one disc at a time to really appreciate this stuff. I would also say that one of the strengths here is the great variety, but it can also be a weakness depending on your interests. If you have no problem with a collection that goes from jazz to blues to rock from one song to another this is a no-brainer, but some people don't like that much variety. All I can say is if you like well-played electric guitar regardless of genre, this is a great set and there is likely something here you have not heard before. For this price, you can't beat this.

An absolute gem of a collection. It covers nearly all styles from Jazz to Western Swing, Blues to rock and roll and a whole smorgasbord in between. Listened to it all on a journey from Norfolk to Devon and never became bored. Obviously, some tracks are well known and available widely elsewhere. However, there are many obscure gems and half-remembered delights. If nothing else, it will broaden your horizons. A thoroughly enjoyable and recommended collection. (Amazon)
