If you regularly scroll through Instagram and YouTube (and you definitely do), you may already have already come across the Pete & Vinnie Play channels. The two London-based musicians \u2013 American Peter Napper and Brazilian Vinnie Minotto \u2013 have amassed over 150,000 followers between them thanks to their daredevil guitar heroics, harmonized covers and reaction videos.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe met at The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in London,\u201d Napper says. \u201cWe were two of the few metalheads on the course, so we instantly bonded. The idea came about after we played our final performance assessment together at music university.<\/p>\n
