I did a search in the site for Joe Satriani and didn't come up with reviews for his works.Soo I wonder if music like his an guitar instrumental albums in general fall into any prog catagory?
Also don't know if there is any thread if it pertains to prog in relation to favorites. |

I did the same thing with Buckethead. Don't think they fall into any specific category really

Some artist I know who play music that guitar is maybe the most important part of. May not be what you're looking for. Pomegranate Tiger (actually didn't know they were in the archives yet.) And most Satriani-esque stuff would probably fall under progressive metal (such as An Endless Sporadic and Pomegranate Tiger) or Tech/Extreme Prog Metal as Animals as Leaders or Intervals. Guitar-central instrumental albums can be found in many genres though, including post-rock and fusion.

An Endless Sporadic has some good music. I think they originally wrote music for video games, but it's still a bit proggy considering that intent. I also haven't heard anything beyond their eponymous album, so can't say much for their more recent music.
Beyond that, I don't have much knowledge on guitar-oriented albums, except for Eric Johnson. His album "Ah Via Musicom" I would recommend. |

One of my favorites in this category is "Instict," by the late Peter Banks, ex-Yes and Flash!
He picked up a Steve Vai signature "Jem" Ibanez, playing through some more modern electronic processing, and recorded a very fine CD, playing nearly all instrumental parts on his own. Interestingly, I find that he shreds in a Steve Vai fashion on the Ibanez! Pete was an amazing guitarist...RIP! Edited by cstack3 - March 21 2016 at 23:36 |

My favorite insturmental guitarists fall into the progressive shredding department mostly
Marty Friedman Jason Becker Bumblefoot Matthias IA Eklundh Steve Vai but there plenty of other great prog guitarists as well. Steve Howe has had some amazing instrumental stuff. John McClaughlin has some great instrumental guitar with Shakti and on solo stuff as well as with Mahavishnu Orch. If you go into the classical world there are phenomal guitarists like Segovia, The list goes one |

Guitar is such an integral part of most prog rock albums but I think to be considered a little more prog the players have to be willing to not play as much pyrotechnic guitar work and compose better melodies and consider a wide array of instrumental variety in an album. Not just Heavy distorted guitar. Here is an example an album I recorded that visits many genres. Heavy, rock, country, bluegrass.

For a purely electric guitar album, and a little bit abstract, I like Tore Elgaroy's The Sound of the Sun on Rune Grammofon: A well-named record, it's like a sonic representation of solar flares and sunspot activity. Edited by Mascodagama - March 26 2016 at 14:50 |
