    Chet Atkins is one of the greatest guitarists of all time and usually did instrumental stuff. If you like Atkins, you may also like Jerry Reed and Buster B. Jones.
    Also, he doesn’t usually play mainly instrumentals, but modern country guitarist Brad Paisley released an album back in November called PLAY. That album had 11 great instrumentals on it. And Paisley went placed most country guitarists wouldn’t dare to go–surf rock, blues, rock, etc. PLAY really shows just how versatile Paisley is as a guitarist. In fact, he seems to be a musical chameleon with how well he can play ANY genres with ease!
    Danny Gatton was another great guitarist. He was able to play many genres well and I’ve often called Brad Paisley another version of Danny Gatton, when it comes to guitar.
    There’s also a female bassist by the name of Tal Wilkenfeld whose stuff I believe is completely instrumental.
    If you love jazz guitar, you’ll want to check out Wes Montgomery, Lenny Breau and Mike Stern.
    For rock guitar masters, check out Eric Johnson, Steve Vai and Paul Gilbert.
    If you want country guitar, check out Brad Paisley, Brent Mason, Albert Lee, Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed.
    For acoustic guitar, check out Monte Montgomery.
    Keep in mind, however, that not all the artists I’ve mentioned stick strictly to instrumental work. Also, Brent Mason is a session guitarist who has an album which is out-of-print, but also receyly released an album with his brother and drummer, Randy Mason.
    Also, sorry for mentioning so many guitarists!

    You should try some John Coltrane, from 1965 and after.
    It will shake your little world and scare you!
