Al Di Meola?

[RedGuitars]

If you're not familiar with his music, where would you recommend one start?

Acoustic greatness! While not electric (Which i kind of assume you are after) this is probably one of my favorite things he has done

Oops. Went to youtube and all I see are Les Pauls... then went to PRS web site and see he's no longer affiliated with PRS. When did that happen. He and Hyland sure don't have the loyalty like Grissom & Santana.

He's still listed on the Artists page. You just have to click to expand the full list.

Start with Return to Forever recordings, then Elegant Gypsy, then all the rest. You'll hear his beginnings and how he developed.
YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!! Good choice!!

+1 Friday Night in San Fransisco is also a must have.

Here are a couple interviews where Al explains why he has been using his old LPs instead of PRS lately. Not to worry, folks. He's still with PRS! Sometimes you just have to get back to your roots and I agree with that sentiment because as much as I love my DGT, there are times (like recently) where jamming on my old LP is the order of the day.
