Top 10 Best Modern Instrumental Artists
Just forget the singers. Give the instruments a little credit for once! No bands with singers on this list.Their guitarist has a very modern, metal and tech-core influenced guitar technique and songwritting book out now, and the scale I'm struggling with is but a measure or two from a single song of their many. I like HEAVY progressive music, and my DAD likes Scale The Summit. My friend calls them Guitar-lesson-rock.
We are witnessing the evolution of music right before our eyes and ears. But for those with ears who cannot hear, it will seem like they came out of no where when they finally reach the summit of their talents.
Excellent musician with natural talent.
No copy cats and really a wonderful music composer either its Indian or Western.
The reliability is perennial.
Are you ' kidding me? The awesome masterpieces of Hans Zimmer easily makes him a legend...he should be in top ten
When I want inspiration through music, Hans Zimmer is my go to.
These guys, even if you care not for the songs they write, you must give it up to them for sheer ingenuity and ability. There's no comparison.
Pretty much dream theater minus james. Paradigm Shift and Acid Rain are unbeatable. Best instrumentalists.
Liquid tension experiment should be at 1.
Music with passion and integrity... Louis is one of the most gifted, yet most humble musicians I have ever met. He is graced with strength and passion! His music is very inspiring to me!
If you get the chance to see this guy perform live don't pass it up! Brilliant compositions and wonderful energy. If you haven't listened to his music you're simply missing out.
Not only is Louis a great pianist, but he's also very modest and generous. He prefers to share the spotlight even when many would take all of the credit.

He is so unique - no one is better than him.
Amazing artist, very unique sound and his shows are on another level
He should be higher up on the list. Buckethead is an amazing, versatile musician.
Absolutely the most creative of the entire group. Shame the piano guys play nothing but covers or they might be on this list.
Her style is so unique and something she had to develop herself. She brought new meanings to playing violin.
Where is the piano guys! Sure, she's cute, and ok, but piano guys are way better!
Two Steps from Hell should really be top of the list. Have you lot heard their stuff? They wipe the fllor with David Guetta the trash-pop artist that's for sure.
Animals as leaders produces some of the best moddern instrumentals in the world with tosin abasi playing lead guitar and Javier Reyes as rhythm guitar makes some beautiful sounds from finger picking to shredding from metal to classical there is something there for everyone to love. They have made some of the most emotional music I've ever heard. You can tell they really care about the music they produce.
This guy is one badass guitarist! He's covered so many different songs, including Christmas music, and he does it so well. I dig his cover for "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch". That one's addicting. You have to be crazy not to think he's awesome! He can really play a guitar!
Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most... read more
Neither modern, nor very much of instrumental.

Liquid Tension Experiment beat these guys? Really?
