This week In Guitar Virtuosi 04/52

Pat Metheny reshapes Carly Simon's "That’s the Way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be" into a tender baritone guitar instrumental, while John Fahey’s “Old Southern Medley” weaves Americana with subversive nuance. Paco de Lucía’s “Antonia (Buleria Por Solea)” balances flamenco tradition with modern flair, and Tommy Emmanuel’s "Eva Waits" blends delicate fingerpicking with cinematic tension. Eddie Van Halen’s iconic "Eruption" redefined guitar solos, and Yngwie Malmsteen’s virtuosic "Far Beyond the Sun" revels in neoclassical theatrics. Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Riviera Paradise” offers a jazz-tinged reprieve, while Joe Bonamassa’s “Never Give All Your Heart” delivers polished blues-rock. Shawn Lane’s "Improvisation 2" channels chaotic brilliance, and Charlie Hunter’s “Untitled Improvisation #2” merges groove and innovation, with James “Blood” Ulmer adding raw fusion to the mix in “Black Rock.”

Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa pour raw intensity into "I'd Rather Go Blind," and Joe Perry, Slash, and Johnny Depp crank "Train Kept A Rollin’" into a thunderous rock spectacle. Meanwhile, "Lindeza," with Ryuichi Sakamoto and Caetano Veloso, whispers understated beauty, and "Sing the Truth" unites Angélique Kidjo, Dianne Reeves, and Lizz Wright in a powerful reimagining of iconic women's songs.
