5 Of The Best Instrumental Guitarists You Should Know

i.ytimg.com

There are tons of great guitarists out there, and I'm sure some of you know the major names like Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton, maybe even Eric Johnsons Cliffs of Dover. But I feel as though the instrumental guitarists do not get the fame that some of them deserve and here is a list of 5 of the top Instrumental guitarists that I can think of:

1. Andy James

Andy James is just insane. He combines metal traits with a great melody in each of his songs. I would bet to say he is the most technical guitarists within the field and every song just has the listener wanting more.

2. Angel Vivaldi

Similar to the guitarist above, he has a metal foundation and shreds great melodies over the tracks. He has done a number of pieces that all work together in a story-like album piece.

3. Marco Sfogli

Differing from the previous two, Marco does great ballad works. You feel as though each of his songs is saying a story and as is standard with ballads, his bends at the right time just force you to get in sync with the song.

4. Yngwie Malmsteen

Some would say the Malmsteen brought to life the Neoclassical instrumental movement within the guitar sphere. Many are quick to say that he is one of the best and has great songs to compliment this claim.

5. Chris Letchford and Travis Levrier

I included both of these guys seeings as they are in the same instrumental band. Both have a great way of playing clean melodies using tapping techniques that are unreal. Both have created wonderful melodies that work well with each other.

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
