I've been listening to the Roy Buchanan album Malaguena. The track Minor Changes has some of the scariest and most beautiful playing. What a guitar tone the guy had. I 'jammed' with him once - two acoustic guitars in the foyer of the Grand Hotel in Stockholm in 1986. He was on tour with Martin Stephenson and the Daintees, who were doing double duty as his backing band. I'll be trying to figure out his 'circular' picking for years to come.

These are all great guitar tunes. Mostly instrumentals but some aren't - check out Denny Dias's solo on Your Gold Teeth II - pretty amazing. McLaughlin's tone with Miles - makes me wish I still had my Fender Mustang. Mr Frisell's playing on Strange Weather is sublime. Kevin Breit is a great guitar player who lives in Southern Ontario, close to here. He's quite well known internationally due to his work with Cassandra Wilson and Norah Jones.
