I play classical guitar at weddings and other functions all the time.  
Once I surprised an Alice-fan groom by played instrumental versions of 
both "Desperado" and "Laughing At Me" at his wedding reception - he 
noticed them and loved them, but no one else noticed them - they just 
sounded like classical guitar music to them!  Hahahaha.

But seriously, there are plenty of Alice tunes that can be done 
instrumentally by any competent musician.  I've always maintained that 
most of Alice's music was melodically interesting enough to render into 
decent instrumental versions, sometimes with surprisingly effective 
results.
