You would call that a BALLAD?

Pat Martino: Blue in Green is one though.

i love the way jimmy raney does "someone to watch over me"

does it gotta be guitar? my favorite ballads are all chet baker and paul desmond tracks...

and of course, i think "flamenco sketches" qualifies, even if there's no lyric being interpreted...

The Ballad of John and Yoko

A very quick chord melody of "Autumn Leaves" by Tal Farlow, from 1955's "The Interpretations Of Tal Farlow". It's just under two minutes. One of my favorites.
