This is a video of guitarist Bernth (previously playing a water-filled guitar) experimenting with an 18-string Indian sitar to incorporate its sound into his heavy metal. He produces some pretty tasty riffs with it too. Maybe not something I’d eat all day every day, but it’s not kid’s cereal or
This is a video of talented musician MoYun performing the Eagles’ 1977 banger ‘Hotel California’ on a traditional Chinese stringed guzheng. She does an absolutely fantastic job, and if I could lay in a hammock on a tropical beach somewhere sipping piña coladas all day listening to music like this,
This is a video of the Epic Cello Quartet (part of Epic Symphonic Rock) performing a medley of Nirvana songs, Iron Maiden’s ‘The Trooper’, and System Of A Down’s ‘Chop Suey!’ during a concert in Lima, Peru. They do an excellent job — I always enjoy hearing songs performed on

Seriously, just watch it. To the end. This is a video of a beautiful ginger cat lapping up some milk, set to some absolutely delectable jams by Uzbekistani musician Sherzod Ergashev. It’s a banger. Obviously, there’s no question that this video, this very video, is the whole reason the internet
This is a multitrack video of musician Luna Lee (previously) performing Johnny Cash’s iconic ‘Ring Of Fire’ on a traditional Korean gayageum. Like all of Luna’s covers, it’s a good listen. Me? I’m a terrible listener, which might explain why I didn’t notice when my girlfriend said she’s leaving. The
