Favourite Guitar CDs

How about some jazz? "Solid" and "Idle Moments" by Grant Green
are both killer! Is it just me or is GG possibly the most
uderrated jazz guitarist ever?

Totally agree with the SRV "Tin Pan Alley" but also really
like his "Scuttlebuttin" too!

Jeez, gotta agree with the Jerry Douglas recommendation as
well - you can hear him playing on Jorma Kaukonen's (another
good recommendation) recent release "Blue County Heart" which
is absolutely stunning.

Let me add a classical one. Andres Segovia's recordings of the Bach Lute Suites are outstanding. I've seen guitar players who don't really like classical music sit there with their mouths open listening to Segovia's chops.

Joe Pass, "University of Akron Concert".

For jazz it's hard to beat Wes Mongomery's "Smokin' at the Half Note", or his double CD "The Verve Jazz Sides" which includes the entire Half Note release. Wouldn't recommend many of his later "pop" albums though.
