Aviations is what you get when you take 4 Berkeley grad students, add a bassist and a pianist - both of whom are god-tier - shake and stir. Their blend of cinematic, progressive heavy music is often called "cozy metal", and every musician should experience their work ASAP.
Top 3 song to pop on if you ever have to out run the cops! What's up Baltimore!
Hey Michael I'm assuming you are familiar with Chris, a Baltimore native. Im a huge fan of his stuff with " The Bridge" and a few of his solo tracks. This one though, just realy does it. It's got a hook you can hang a winter coat on! Hope you enjoy my friend, thanks for all you do!

It would be great to see you react to this video and maybe explain how it's possible to get a result that good without the musicians playing together. But also would love your reaction on all the incredibly talented musicians and guitarists in this video ;)
PS: i've just started you courses and its really great to follow along and start again with the basics, and your feedback on every single video I post is the best thing so thank you very much!
And I'm french so sorry if my english is not good
This is an Irish traditional, Michael. I know that perhaps this song is not especially of interest to guitar players, even though I think the acoustic guitar is quite haunting. And this man's voice is great: very intense. Give it a listen: you will not be disappointed.
This live Dream Theater video serves as a showcase for some of John Petrucci's finest soloing. The studio version of Hollow Years is a run of the mill ballad, but the live performance turns into a showcase. It starts with some lovely guitar/keys interplay a prelude, good use of the piezo in the guitar. The guitar solo partway through the song though is a jaw dropper, the perfect marriage of technique and feel. Stick around for some killer piano towards the end of the song!
