To be honest, I don't even own a guitar. I just watch her because she makes me happy. She makes me wish I had a guitar just so I could ask her questions ! :) She shares her passion so well and with such generosity!

I highly recommend learning David Gilmours guitar playing for the person interested in playing with more emotion. You can’t really top his guitar solos and unique tones he has in the Pink Floyd Pulse concert on the songs High Hopes,Comfortably Numb, and Sorrow, just to name a few. The whole Pulse Concert is a masterpiece ( a must see on KZread ). David Gilmour is a guitar master 😊.

@@TFShaw What’s the correct formula for the number of amps that you need? I’ve always thought it should match the number of guitars you own, but I could be wrong or just simply amp obsessed.

Nice. You're enthusiasm and attitude is inspiring (no lie). Saw most of my stadium concerts in the '80's. Heart was the most true to album sound of all. Good or bad? I liked it.

I like slides for making natural sounds, because it mimics the vocal chord when it changes pitch there usually is a gradual transition. It makes the guitar playing sound less robotic like it was from a MIDI file or autotuned.

That’s neat that you would say Heart! They were a wonderful fresh backdrop to the mid 70’s. I saw them at their peak on May 11th, 1977 (brand new band at the time Foreigner opened for them , was their second show in the United States, first was New York City) 3 days before the “Little Queen” album was released-plus again in 1980 on the “B.B. le Strange” album tour. They were really electrifying yet even Classic hard rock was changing into a more radio friendly sound as with other bands that breaking the musical ice during that time. It was unfortunate-Nancy Wilson was having lots of trouble with her Ovation acoustic feeding back but they eventually got it resolved.

You should try shielding your guitar cavity with copper tape or shielding paint. And a wire from shielding to volume pot. should help a lot with noise. Blocks hum and sends to ground. It's not super easy but worth it in the end. Painting prob the easier way for sure.

I love not knowing where this train is going to end up years down the road! I am just enjoying the ride!

So relaxing

A bloopers and retake vid..yeah ...that would be entertaining! Or maybe a step by step guitar kit build🤣

Now we know a lot more about you than we did before. 👍👍👍 Yes, start another YT channel; you come across really well in your videos. You look genuinely happy when you are on camera, and I'm sure that your style would translate in any subject you wish. You may have heard this before, but the blue color of your guitars can match the color of your eyes. I particularly like your Ibanez guitars, but if you haven't tried a PRS guitar then you just may enjoy playing one of those guitars. They have a very affordable SE line that is excellent in the ways you like. 🎸🎸🎸

I am like you I own many guitars actually over 20 lol! But like you I like playing different guitars for different things My current and newest guitar I just got is James hetfield's signature camo snakebite ESP which is an amazing guitar and even though I prefer humbucker pickups as well his custom EMG pickups are amazing and I could not be happier with the guitar. Keep rocking!

The way you teach is honestly amazing it's the reason why I still play guitar

You now have more guitars than I do! 🎸 I'm still not efficient/comfortable with recording on my laptop, so my suggestion for a second channel would be content of that type, or more in-depth recording videos here on this channel. 😎 Happy holidays! 🎄

Okay, I don’t know if you know about them, but since you asked for heavier stuff: ERRA. It’s melodic and heavy and beautiful. It’s something like progressive metalcore or something like that, definitely recommend listening to them from the first album to the last, but if you want to start with a bit lighter, their 2016 album drift is pretty easy to listen to. But the older stuff is the best. Also, I got myself the same blue Ibanez RG that you got as your second guitar - it’s really an amazing guitar. I used to have a jackson dinky as a starter but I’ve learned so much more on this ibanez because it’s just so much better to play. Have a nice day :)

Hi Rachellf, song suggestions for heavy songs: Strapping Young Lad; "Wrong Side" - "Aftermath" - "Love" - "The New Flesh" - "Detox" to be honest, can't go much wrong with Strappings, Devin's the best for my tastes :) Also check out ( if you haven't already ) Fleshgod Apocalypse "The Violation" and Jinjer - "Picies" :) There's also an amazing live version of " Dead Bury Their Dead" by Arch Enemy at Download Festival in 2006. The whole band is firing on all cylinders, but the front-lady Angela Gossow is particularly incredible that day. What an opening scream :O EDIT! Oh! If you're looking to try out weird and wonderful pedals in future videos, although it may be cost-prohibitive, unless you're already loaded with cash :P The Korg Hatsune Miku Stomp Pedal - it doesn't get much weirder than that, or fun :P Kinda useless pedal for everyday use, but if you want strange and wonderful sounds, have a look into that one ! :P Likely to be a bit expensive though, oddly. I am guessing they're kinda rare, rather than filled with incredibly complicated machanics, because I'd love one, but not at that price. But it depends on how much money one has to spend freely, of course :) Have a very heavy Christmas Rachelf :P
