10 Incredible Instrumentals That Deserve Your Attention

10. Rodrigo Y Gabriela - Tamacun

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rrd6s1B2UEY Find it: Rodrigo y Gabriela (2006) It's safe to say that Rodrigo y Gabriela create a surprising amount of noise for such an unassuming package. Despite relying on classical guitars alone, the Mexican duo list heavy metal bands like Metallica and Megadeth among their influences - something that comes across in the breathless playing style of 'Tamacun'. The result is an exciting mixture between metal's pulsating rhythms and the traditional melodies of flamenco guitar, and this song is a worthy example of how well such an unlikely mish-mash can work. Having earned no small amount of exposure with an appearance in Breaking Bad's pilot episode back in 2008, the song has helped the duo earn a deserved reputation for their mind-boggling fingerwork and unshakable sense of fun. With an approach that's as frenetic as it is fearless, 'Tamacun' is the perfect example of how far you can go with only a couple of acoustic guitars for company.
