Our own Richard Bennett got several tunes that are in the same vein.


Ry Cooder also have a lot of instrumentals. I particularly like these two:

Tracks with / between them should be played one after another.

You should find something in the above that you would like, his guitar playing is just as good as Mark, he has  a wonderful touch and tone, and sense of melody.

I would also add, Cluster One and Marooned by Pink Floyd.

Check out Leo Kottke. Brilliant guitarplayer. Especially his album 'One Guitar, No Vocals'. Brilliant stuff. Pottel knows more gems from him if you want to find out more.

if you like Chris Rea's instrumentals, I recommend these two ones, featuring on "Dancing with strangers" (1987) :
