Dream on? UK guitarist Sophie Lloyd has been living hers in 2022; touring huge venues in the US after she joined Machine Gun Kelly's live band, and making waves with her solo career. Sophie's hard work was also recognised when she was voted best rock guitarist of the year in our poll. 

Now she's ended 2022 in style with one of her signature shred covers; this time it's a Steven Tyler-penned Aerosmith classic.

Sophie Lloyd shares her advice for future guitar YouTubers: "The hardest thing to do is to post that first video because it’s putting yourself out there and it’s quite scary – I’d say forget all of that, you just need to do it!"
