I love instrumental music. Probably more than a lot of people tend to. I love it so much I decided to make a list of my Top 20 favorite rock and metal instrumental songs. The kicker is that I’m not including songs from bands that specialize in instrumental music. Though I make up for that by listing some of my favorite instrumental artists in the beginning of the video.

Also, this is my first video recorded with my new Blue Yeti Nano. Please give me feedback on my audio. Part of me is kind of paranoid the audio might be slightly out of sync in some areas, but if you don’t see that, feel free to tell me I’m being too OCD.
