Solo instrumental albums - great stuff or an aural 5 knuckle shuffle?

Last night I watched quite  few solo bass tunes by the likes of Michael Manring, Steve Lawson, Vic W etc on YT to see if I can get anything out of them. Clever technique etc but just not for me at all.  Pretty much the same goes for any solo instrumental album except for the occasional acoustic guitar effort of the folky variety in small doses e.g. Martin Simpson, Tony McManus or Leo Kottke but not flamenco or those Windham Hill/new age jobs :dash1:.. Ditto most performances , honourable exceptions including Adrian Legg,  Leo Kottke and Tommy Emmanuel who pepper their gigs with entertaining banter. Well worth checking out while they're just about still around.
