Currently I'm listening to:

Czardas - Vittorio Monti

Flight of the Bumble Bee - Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov

Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 - Franz Liszt

Symphony No. 5 - Ludwig van Beethoven

Devil's Trill Sonata (Violin Sonata in G minor) - Giuseppe Tartini

Guitar Boogie - Tommy Emmanuel[/b]


and my favorite:

Canon Rock (arrangement of Canon in D) - Jerry Chang (original work by Johann Pachelbel)


I need more! Preferably pieces that motivate (Canon Rock for me) and aren't very calm.

BTW, anyone know where I can get Canon Rock tablature?


Edit: Forgot to mention: no Metal.
 
sublime's lincoln highway dub

it's an instumental of santaria, but was released on a prior album. some of the licks brad plays have true heart. it's not the note he plays, but the softness and ferocity of the notes that make my eyes well up. also, macarena in the elevator sure makes that trip to the top floor an exceptionally musakal one.
 
Anything from Chris Botti....some of his stuff has words, so skip those.

Check out Chris Thile too....he's the mandolin player from NickleCreek....gifted.

Just heard some Malmsteen samples, and I'm really enjoying his neo-classical works.

I would suggest Opeth, but you said no Metal. Opeth has some *amazing* intrumentals, mostly piano and acoustic guitar pieces.

Oh really? I usually associate metal with heavily distorted guitar shredding, but if they do acoustic and piano, I'd like to hear.

Check out the all piano piece "Silhouette", from their first album Orchid. Some other notable songs are:

"For Absent Friends" from Deliverance
"Ending Credits" from Damnation
"Patterns in the Ivey" from Blackwater Park
 
Clint Mansell, composer of the soundtrack to Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain.

But my favorite would probably by The Ecstasy of Gold by Ennio Morricone.
