Me too, just a very slightly longer time frame, and with rap, most heavy metal and most country being exceptions, here are TONS of excellent musicians out there. I listen to primarily Jazz and classical now, but here is some stuff in various categories, genres, instruments, etc. that you might enjoy. I can give you a LOT more if you are interested, as I spend WAYYY too much time on YT now, and have a whole slew of artists in my playlist (it's public feel free to look if you like some of these). It includes many more categories and artists than these. These range from (criminally) couple of thousand views types, into the millions level. Virtually all of these artists do several types of music. Here, from solo to big band, and world touring to virtually unheard:


Synth, real time expansive improv covers, listen to a requested song, first hearing when they request it if he doesn't know it, on a stupid phone, and instantaneously makes some INCREDIBLE music out of it, five seconds or less later (the first is a ten level deep loop) created on the spot. I gave you two very different approaches, from the same video, the second is just a non looped piano invention of another request. This guy is an absolutely world class talent. His channel has gone from the 70 or so thousand to now half million and climbing RAPIDLY, and he actually deserves it, like Tommy.

Frank Tedesco: He wrote a few compilations, not really slottable into a single genre lots of influences, jazz, Spanish, classical, movie, game, etc. In the first I put you in where he's listening to the song, so you can see what he's working from, and what results. Just stop at the end of the song and then go to the next, unless you want to listen to the whole video :-):

Here is an etude (pro level exercise pieces) he wrote. I love the incidental at thirty seven seconds...always 'Easter eggs' throughout:

Fifth Street: Fairly Odd Parents (they do all kinds of Jazz oriented covers)
Home Free: Most anything of theirs, this is fun, a sea shanty mix up, listen to the beat boxer on the one that starts "Heave her up and away we'll go ...". He is the best in the world, IMO at actually doing it VERY musically. He does an air drumming solo that is incredible, and he plays the drums along with it, accurately.
I've seen a couple of drummers comment that he must be a drummer. I don't think he is, but not sure:

Home Free, shanties:

Got To Get You Into My Life". Jazz knob turned up about 75%, this arrangement has some really great sections, as most all of theirs do. And the treble section is stellar. When the alto gets low, it's like being wrapped in a soft blanket, what a sound, and the soprano enters the stratosphere a couple of times. She can go a lot higher, I think, IIRC, but she's getting up there pretty good here:

Here's a couple of semi Big Band pieces. The first is Dave Wekl and Jay Oliver drumming with a host of instrumental and vocal session folks (I think). The energy in this thing starts at the ceiling and then rises like a homesick Martian:

This is a Ukrainian/Russian group that does Chicago, better than Chicago, IMO. They didn't even speak English when this was done, and the diction is better than most of the English speaking soloists I've heard. They tour the world now. One of the band members recorded and mixed this. I would love to find a DVD A level flac of it. It sounds spectacular even on the YT garbage audio format. I think one reason i like this more than Chicago is the recording. After this, go play the Chicago recording, and you'll see what I mean. Night and day, the old recording is absolutely dull by comparison. Thirty years of tech doesn't hurt, but neither does a guy that keeps the post effects to nothing to next to nothing, and lets the music through. And uses some killer audio equipment.

Here is one you just have to see to believe. If this doesn't entertain you, I give up. It was a recommendation, and in the opening I thought "this'll be funny", shortly thereafter the thought was Dayam, this is awesome. Hang on for the ride:
The bridge about 2/3rds of the way through is just killer. This is just plain weird, and a lot of fun:

While most guitar players tune their guitars to the standard E A D G B E, Tommy tunes his to W T F H O W.

😂😂

@since1876

I tried playing this before and my guitar actually laughed at me 😭

@shorerocks

Same tuning Mike Dawes uses, just check his version of Van Halens Jump.
