Guitars is an album by McCoy Tyner released on his McCoy Tyner Music (a subsidiary of Half Note Records) label in 2008. It was recorded in September 2007 and features performances by Tyner, Ron Carter and Jack DeJohnette with Marc Ribot, John Scofield, Béla Fleck, Derek Trucks, and Bill Frisell. The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos states that "It's an interesting slice in time, but not a definitive recording in Tyner's legendary and lengthy musical career". The album also contains a DVD of several of the performances.
