Jem Manuel

Jem Manuel is a Filipino guitarist best known as the lead guitarist and founding member of December Avenue, one of the prominent modern OPM (Original Pilipino Music) bands. He has been with the group since its beginnings in 2007.

Jem’s playing is particularly interesting because he isn’t primarily about flashy shredding. His approach is more melodic, atmospheric and song-focused. December Avenue’s music often uses clean guitar parts, ambient textures, melodic lead lines and carefully chosen effects to support the emotional character of the songs.

Yohan Delasalle

18 August 2026/by chickenp

Yohan Delasalle is a French guitarist, composer and multi-instrumentalist, based in northern France. He has around 25 years of experience as a guitarist and created his solo project Past And Secrets in 2019.

The project came about after one of his earlier musical projects ended. Rather than stop making music, he decided to create an instrumental project combining things he loved: heavy, low-tuned guitar riffs with atmospheric and emotional passages. He cites Meshuggah as an important discovery for him, as well as the Polish instrumental guitarist Widek.

What’s unusual about Past And Secrets is that Yohan does essentially everything himself. He records the guitars and other instruments, programs drums, handles the composition and production, and works from his own home studio.

His style

I’d describe his music as sitting somewhere between:

Djent
Progressive metal
Ambient / atmospheric metal
Instrumental prog
Fusion / progressive rock
Cinematic guitar music

The contrast is a big part of the appeal: very heavy, rhythmically complex riffs alongside spacious, melancholic and almost dreamy passages. Since there are no vocals, the lead guitar often takes the role that a singer would normally have, carrying the emotional narrative.

He uses a 7-string guitar, which fits the low-register djent side of his music. A 2026 tour listing specifically describes Past And Secrets as atmospheric progressive metal from France featuring 7-string guitar.

Past And Secrets releases

His first major release was Memories, released in 2020. The project also released a personal interpretation of Pink Floyd’s “Learning to Fly”, a song Yohan says has a particularly strong emotional connection for him.

Then came Another Day, Another Time, a 22-minute EP released in 2024. This is probably the best introduction to what he does today.

The interesting thing is that although Yohan is the sole musician behind the project, he invited five different guitarists to perform guest solos, one on each track:

Track	Guest guitarist
Above Us	Greg Schollaert 🇧🇪
Come On Board	Radek Stojda 🇵🇱
World	Brian Bajak 🇨🇿
Sleep Well, Little Child	Mika Dienst Ibanez 🇫🇷
Together On A Mountain	Demetrio “Dimitri” Scopelliti 🇮🇹

Yohan himself plays the rest of the instruments, including guitar, bass, programmed drums, piano and samples.

A particularly interesting aspect

I think one of the coolest things about Yohan’s project is how deliberately he uses other guitarists.

In an interview, he explained that he sends guest guitarists the musical passages and gives them complete freedom to add their own personality. He chooses them partly by listening to their playing online and imagining what they could contribute to his compositions.

So Past And Secrets isn’t really a conventional band. It’s more like Yohan’s musical universe, with different guitarists temporarily entering that universe and leaving their own signature on a track.

That comes through particularly well on Another Day, Another Time.

He has continued to develop the project

There’s also evidence that Past And Secrets has moved beyond being simply a home-recording project. In 2024, Yohan was interviewed internationally about the project, and in 2025–2026 he began appearing in live events connected with other virtuoso musicians.

For example, he appeared as the opening act for an Inspiria Guitars tour, alongside guitarist Demetrio Scopelliti and electric violinist Laurent Bernadac.

There’s also a 2024 interview with Yohan on Prog Dog’s YouTube/podcast, specifically about Past And Secrets and his instrumental guitar music.

Kiko Loureiro

3 August 2026/by chickenp

enpicks

Kiko Loureiro is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished rock and metal guitarists of his generation. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1972, he first gained international recognition as the lead guitarist for the Brazilian power metal band Angra, then later became the lead guitarist for Megadeth from 2015 to 2023.

What makes Kiko stand out is his rare combination of technical virtuosity and musical depth. His playing blends:

Lightning-fast alternate picking and sweep picking
Fluid legato and two-handed tapping
Jazz fusion harmony
Brazilian rhythms
Classical and flamenco influences
Strong melodic phrasing rather than pure speed

Unlike many “shred” guitarists, Kiko is known for writing solos that are memorable and expressive while still being incredibly demanding technically.

Career highlights

Angra (1991–present): He helped define the band’s signature sound on albums like Angels Cry, Holy Land, and Temple of Shadows, which are considered classics of progressive power metal.
Megadeth (2015–2023): Replacing Chris Broderick was a daunting task, but Kiko quickly became a fan favorite. He played on Dystopia (which won a Grammy for the title track) and The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead!, contributing both technically dazzling and highly musical guitar work.
Solo career: His instrumental albums—including No Gravity, Open Source, and Theory of Mind—showcase everything from heavy metal to jazz fusion, acoustic music, and Brazilian influences.

As a teacher

Kiko is also one of the best-known online guitar educators. His lessons focus on:

Practice methodology
Improvisation
Music theory
Technique development
Mental approaches to mastering the instrument

Many guitarists appreciate that he teaches why something works musically, not just how to play it.

Kristofer Dahl

Kristofer Dahl (often just called Kris) is a well-known Swedish guitarist, instructor, and prominent online creator in the guitar community. He is heavily recognized for his work as a pioneer of online guitar education and his long-running YouTube channel.

Here are the key things to know about him:

1. Online Guitar Pioneer (Guitar Masterclass)

If you played guitar in the late 2000s or 2010s, you likely ran across his work. Kristofer was one of the foundational instructors and the driving force behind GuitarMasterclass.net (GMC), one of the earliest and most successful subscription-based video lesson websites for guitarists. Through GMC, he helped popularize the “video lesson + backing track + interactive forum tabs” format that revolutionized how bedroom guitarists learned to shred.

2. High-Tech Playing Style

As a player, Kris is a highly technical virtuoso heavily rooted in progressive rock, neoclassical metal, and fusion. His playing style blends incredibly clean high-speed alternate picking, hybrid legato picking, and complex arpeggio substitutions. He frequently draws inspiration from legendary players like Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Eric Johnson, and Santana.

3. YouTube & “Learn with Kris” Courses

Kristofer runs a highly popular self-titled YouTube channel with nearly 300,000 subscribers and thousands of videos.

The Philosophy: His channel’s tagline is based around his love for “learning and teaching.” He often focuses on breaking down the psychology of practice, how to avoid repeating his past technical mistakes, and how to stay motivated.
Independent Courses: He offers his own streamlined curriculum through his website (kristoferdahl.com). These include structured step-by-step masterclasses like From Zero to Hero, Smart Practice, Hybrid Legato, and Riff Class.

4. Viral Inside Jokes & Originals

Among long-time guitar community members, Kris is also remembered for his quirky, fun original music and viral videos from the early days of internet guitar culture. One of his most legendary pieces is an original progressive/comedy track called “MITTWOCH” (Wednesday). Written entirely with funny, broken German lyrics about forgetting what day of the week it is, the video features him singing casually before launching into an absolutely blistering, face-melting guitar solo.

The Takeaway Kristofer Dahl isn’t just a phenomenal shredder; he is widely respected because of his approachable, humble teaching style. He strips away the ego often found in high-level guitar playing and focuses on making advanced mechanics accessible to the everyday player.

Robbie Calvo

Robbie Calvo

Robbie Calvo is a British-born guitarist, singer, songwriter, session musician, and one of the best-known online guitar educators. Originally from London, he later established himself in Nashville, where he has worked as a session guitarist, performer, songwriter, and instructor.

He’s especially respected among guitarists for combining:

Blues, rock, country, and fusion influences.
Strong melodic phrasing rather than purely technical “shredding.”
A deep understanding of harmony, modes, and fretboard visualization.
Practical teaching that focuses on making players sound musical rather than just faster.

Teaching career

Calvo is probably even more famous as a teacher than as a performer. He has created more than 20 instructional courses for TrueFire, many of which have been among the platform’s best sellers. His lessons cover topics such as:

Pentatonic improvisation
Modes and modal harmony
Chord melody
Rhythm guitar
Songwriting
Slide guitar

Solo construction and phrasing

Performance and session work

Performed hundreds of live solo shows using vocals, guitar, looping, and percussion.

Revstar electric guitars
A-Series acoustics

He’s also worked with companies like Line 6, producing demonstrations and educational content around guitar processors and effects.

If you’ve watched him play, you’ll notice several trademarks:

Smooth legato phrasing.
Tasteful use of hybrid picking.
Expressive bends and vibrato.
Sophisticated chord voicings.
Blues vocabulary mixed with modal ideas.
Strong melodic development rather than long streams of notes.

Many players compare his melodic sensibility more to players like Robben Ford, Larry Carlton, or Scott Henderson than to high-speed shred guitarists.

Why he’s respected

Professional musicians often point to Robbie Calvo as someone who bridges the gap between advanced theory and practical musicianship. His lessons tend to emphasize:

Hearing chord changes.
Connecting scales to harmony.
Building solos that tell a story.
Developing a personal voice on the instrument rather than copying patterns.

If you’re interested in learning improvisation, melodic soloing, or understanding the fretboard more deeply, his material is widely regarded as some of the most thoughtful and musical available.

Joey Jones

Joey Jones (online as @joeyjooones), a Berlin-based German guitarist, songwriter, and content creator who has become well known through his YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok guitar videos.

Here’s an overview of his career:

Professional guitarist before social media. Before building an online audience, Joey worked as a touring and session guitarist. He has performed with German artists including Nena and Daniel Biscan, and also produced music for other bands.
Rise on YouTube and Instagram. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when live touring stopped, he began posting regular guitar videos online. His energetic riff-based performances, original solos, and tone demonstrations quickly attracted a large audience. By 2026, he had amassed well over 100,000 followers across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
Playing style. Joey’s music sits somewhere between alternative rock, hard rock, and modern blues rock. His influences often draw comparisons to players such as John Mayer, Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, and classic Marshall-driven rock. His emphasis is on memorable riffs, expressive bends, and strong melodic phrasing rather than technical shredding.
Gear enthusiast. His channel includes a lot of content on guitar tone, pedals, and amplifiers. He has collaborated with brands including Nik Huber Guitars, JHS Pedals, Browne Amplification, and others. His signature sound is closely associated with Nik Huber guitars and vintage-style Marshall amplifiers, especially a 1987 Marshall Silver Jubilee.
Original music. After becoming established online, he launched his own original alternative rock project. His debut singles introduced a melodic, riff-heavy sound inspired by 1990s rock, and he has since begun performing his own headline shows in Berlin.

One reason Joey Jones has become popular is that he combines professional-level playing with an approachable teaching style. Many of his videos break down guitar tone, songwriting, or practical playing concepts rather than simply showcasing virtuosity.

If you’re into players like Pete Thorn, Rabea Massaad, John Mayer, or Chris Buck, you’ll probably appreciate Joey Jones’ blend of tasteful playing, gear knowledge, and songwriting.

Tino Hevia

17 July 2026/by chickenp

Tino Hevia

Tino Hevia (full name Constantino Hevia Toraño) is a Spanish guitarist, songwriter, producer, and recording engineer best known as the founder and rhythm guitarist of the power metal bands Reveal, Darksun, and formerly Nörthwind. Born on 10 August 1976 in Zürich, Switzerland, he has been an influential figure in the Spanish power metal scene for more than two decades.

Musical career

Tino began playing guitar in 1998, inspired by bands such as Rage, Dio, and Blind Guardian. He has said that hearing Blind Guardian’s Imaginations from the Other Side convinced him to dedicate himself to writing songs rather than simply becoming a lead guitarist. His emphasis has always been on strong songwriting, memorable riffs, and melodies.

He founded:

Nörthwind (1999), a pioneering Spanish power metal band.
Darksun (2002), which became one of Spain’s best-known melodic power metal acts.
Reveal (2017), an international project featuring Swedish vocalist Rob Lundgren and guest appearances from musicians associated with bands such as Blind Guardian, Primal Fear, and Rage.

Throughout his career, he has shared stages with major metal acts including Bruce Dickinson, Angra, Rage, Savatage, Motörhead, and WarCry.

Playing style

Unlike many power metal guitarists, Tino describes himself primarily as a rhythm guitarist and composer. His philosophy is that great songs come before technical showmanship. His riffs are tight, melodic, and heavily influenced by classic European power metal while incorporating modern production techniques.

Production work

Besides performing, Tino produces, records, mixes, and masters music from his own studio. For later Reveal releases, he handled much of the production himself, collaborating remotely with musicians across several countries.

Guitar gear

Tino has been an endorser for several major guitar brands. His current setup includes:

Charvel Pro-Mod guitars (his main instruments)
Gibson Les Paul models
ENGL amplifiers
Kemper Profiler
Suhr pickups
Two Notes Torpedo Captor X
Shure in-ear monitors

His rig is designed to deliver a powerful, articulate high-gain tone suited to melodic and power metal.

Why metal guitarists appreciate him

Tino Hevia is respected not only for his playing but also for his songwriting. His music combines memorable choruses, harmonized guitars, and polished production, and he has built a reputation for collaborating with internationally recognized musicians while remaining deeply involved in every aspect of creating his records—from composition to final mix. His philosophy, featured on Reveal’s official site, sums up his approach: “If you want something… fight for it!”
