The Best Al Di Meola Guitar Solos

Al Di Meola set a new bar for speed and precision in the 1970s. His machine-gun alternate picking and palm-muted runs, first with Return to Forever and then on his own records, made fusion guitar a technical sport. His later acoustic work with Paco de Lucia and John McLaughlin brought flamenco fire and Latin rhythm to an audience that had never heard anything like it.
