SATURDAY JAZZ SHRED: Race With Devil On Spanish Highway by Al Di Meola - The normal jazz brunch will be back on schedule next week while we bring you more of SHRED WEEK! This was a pretty obvious choice and while there are plenty of jazz guitarists that have speedy chops, Al Di Meola is the pinnacle of jazz shred. If you listen to Satriani, Gilbert, Malmsteen and others, you can easily draw a line back to Di Meola as one of their biggest influences.
If I am going to highlight Di Meola, then I have to post Race with Devil on Spanish Highway off his second album, Elegant Gypsy. This is one of the definitive shred guitar moments. While this is certainly in the jazz fusion camp, you could easily see much of this piece being a part of a metal instrumental or solo. At some point I have to post more of his stuff, but that will have to wait till I do another Shred Week next year.
