Launched just a few years ago, TikTok is one of the fastest-growing social media networks around. The app is officially a household name in the music industry with TikTokers carving out space for every instrument, genre, and playing style.
Here at Orangewood, you could say our team is pretty addicted to TikTok. When we aren’t on GuitarTok creating our own videos, we’re looking at MusicTok for guitarist inspiration. To get you started, we’ve compiled a guide to some of our favorite TikTok musicians — and why you absolutely need to be following them. Beware: highly addictive content incoming!
