This guitar instrumental has plenty of Americana built into it, but it also has healthy helpings of melodic progressive rock. It features some great evolution and growth and really works well.

For some reason, I’m reminded a little of The Ventures on this track. I’m a big fan of that group, so that says a lot. This isn’t a big change, nor the proggiest thing here, but it’s intriguing and effective in a melodic way.

Now, this is much proggier. It has a lot of style and charm built into it. There are also some great twists and turns here.

The riff that opens this has a real classic rock vibe to it. The track works out from there with a lot of style and charm into something that feels very retro in style. There are proggy things at play later. The number has some intriguing changes.

The melodic mix of sounds we’ve heard so far is on this menu, too. It’s probably more Americana than proggy, but there are leanings in that direction, too.

More energized, this has more of that Ventures kind of thing at play in some ways. The track is a classy one that also has some hints of jazz and definite proggy elements.

This rocks out more than anything to this point It definitely has some metallic prog angles at play.

Another melodic piece with a lot of Americana in the mix, this is intriguing, but not really all that proggy. It does have some good musical hooks, though.

A bluesy rocking number, this is interesting and effective. Again, it’s not the proggiest thing here, but it has some killer guitar work. It does get pretty powerful later. It might be my favorite thing here.

The intricate acoustic guitar that starts this makes me think of Steve Howe to some degree. The track works out with a lot of style and charm. It has a lot of Americana in the mix. It’s both folk-like and country leaning. Then again, both of those things are in keeping with some of Steve Howe’s solo work, so the comparison still works.

This is one of the proggiest things here. The melodic jamming on the number is all class, and the whole thing works well.

More mainstream 1970s rock sound is on the menu here. For some reason I’m reminded a little of Creedence Clearwater Revival.
