Best instrumentals under (or slightly above) 3 minutes

In the spirit of @Yargnad's metal thread. No matter what the genre as long as it's got guitar in it.

I had to up the length limit a bit so that I can start with this :

This whole album is excellent IMO

 

[Ramo]

Nice stuff!

I'm trying to broaden my horizons so I'll try to refrain from spamming "surf", this is quite close though:

I've been wondering what goes on in the solo from about 1:20 onwards. Is it just a very seamless switch between steel guitar and "electric spanish" or something else?

I always liked these few off the top of my head

An instrjmenymtal I wrote in 1984 as a musical tribute to Randy Rhoads and musical answer to his musical short, "Dee."

Panorama

Written in 1984 and preformed only during live performances, until finally recorded until 1998 on 4-track cassette, this song was a musical tribute to Randy Rhoads and a short 'musical answer' to his

It’s over 3 minutes. A friend used to run a blues jam and this song was his favourite and a crowd pleaser every time.

 

[Hackmaster]

OK, two more.

So I lied, snuck one more in. Nice & bouncy with a ragtime influence.

One of our local masters did a nice cover:

Instrumental is a rather broad term. According to Wikipedia, the definition is

An instrumental is a recording normally without any vocals, although it might include some inarticulate vocals, such as shouted backup vocals in a big band setting. Through semantic widening, a broader sense of the word song may refer to instrumentals. ... These interludes are a form of break in the song

This could include almost all of jazz and classical. Anyway, with such a wide field to choose from, this is as good a place to start as any

 

[RVA]

This is a favorite of mine

 

[RVA]

This always makes me smile

Crossover jazz hit from Chuck

 

[RVA]

One of many many many great jazz tunes. Byrd has a bit of funk, so I selected this, even though this is not his real funky error

When shredding is soothing, it is magical. Simply effortless playing here
