Do you track songs for singers?

As a much older player I think it's super rad that she was like "I started playing guitar because of guitar hero" with no shame - hell yeah!

1:35 WOW Melanie, I started playing Guitar because of Guitar Hero 3 in 2008. There should be a documentary on that video game and the generation of guitarists it produced. I had zero interest in guitar until I got Guitar Hero 3 for Wii at christmas.

For sure! That game singlehandedly got me into metal and rock music, which eventually turned into guitar and audio engineering!

In all my years I can't remember playing that Cmaj7 with the middle finger on the 6th string root in order to hammer the 3rd. Old dogs...new tricks!!

@@daMyahStar Try setting the gain a bit higher, either by the guitar’s volume knob or by the amp’s volume/master or both. If gain doesn’t simplify clearer hammer-ons, then consider lowering the action (the distance between the strings and the fretboard), but do this only after watching a few videos on how to set-up a guitar properly. Good luck

@@daMyahStar If you can add a compressor it will fix that. Compressors make quiet sounds louder and loud sounds quieter. If I were to play a tapping riff completely clean, it might make basically no sound, but the same riff with a little bit of gain and a compressor pedal will be loud and clear.

Love this comment!

I’m curious how many of us started playing guitar because of guitar hero. I remember going over my friend’s house to play guitar hero 2. Ended up getting guitar hero 3 for the wii years later and fell in love with guitar.

Those chord progressions are sooooo good

I really appreciate the way that you talk about the approach to music.

You make this thing look like a breeze and I know it's hard work. You are truly gifted.

I discovered Mary N on KZread last week and instantly fell in love with her music. Now I've discovered Melanie Faye this week and immediately fell in love with her music. I can't wait to see what's in store for me next week!

Melanie Faye really inspires me, it's such a great guitarist she's incredible

the vibrato tips are really good, it's nice to attack the neck without trying to bore a hole in it with my fingers the way i normally do.

She's just on an other level💗

I am so proud of this young lady I don't know what to do. Been following her since she was a little girl just on KZread. She's developed into a true professional and creative.

Simply amazing! Love your work Melanie👏👏👏

Coming from a teacher and musician, this is great music teaching. So much info and really well explained and demonstrated.

My biggest inspiration!! Melanie’s the GOAT

Her touch is amazing, so vocal, such an beautiful guitarist

KZread recommended your channel cause 3 days ago, I started to learn how to play Bass, Lead (with a whammy bar, which will arrive on Monday), and Acoustic Guitars simultaneously. I’m actually a Trumpet Player that wanted to learn to play Guitar. I learned ALOT from this Video! I’m gonna have to check out your website. Thank You, Melanie 🙏

Your playing is very expressive. Thank you for sharing these techniques.

Thank you for Your R& B lesson. It will help me to know difference between jazz and R&B and improving techniques of playing guitar .I love you so much Melanie. Greetings from Rwanda in Africa.

You inspire me so much, thank you.

Coming from a more music making background, I found that this video is really great introduction on everything about R&B, the rules not only applies to Guitar Playing only, it also applies to Vocals, Other Instruments and literally is just R&B. The underlying concept is basically the same and it shows Melanie is really good at R&B and with musical talents. Amazing to watch!

Nice food for thought. I've always done those "Stutters" - but never knew the actual-name-of-the technique. Great stuff. Enjoyed it. oNe LovE from NYC

She’s actually incredible!

Absolutely wonderful 🙏🏾

Love the style and tone of playing. Some parts remind me of my fav Stevie Ray Vaughan on vibrato but Faye's style is great and will watch more.

Thank you so much Melanie. Thank you pick up music for this master classs

Love it, gurl!

*plays god tier solo* "something like that." incredible video, i really appreciated the "regular" vs "r'n'b" translations of those licks.

Absolutely fantastic.

I've been following her on instagram for years!!!! Love it, kiddo!!!

Just Love it!

I LOVE THIS!!!

She is so awesome!

Ur sound is so rich... Thanks for the inspiration!

As a pro I'd like to compliment you on developing your own voice on the instrument. Good job young lady!

The sound at the beginning of the video is so addictive

Melanie thank you

thank you Melanie

Wow, Melanie….you are so smart, articulate, & inspiring. I just told my wife you are my new favorite guitar player. I’ll follow your progress with interest as long as it is available. ❤ (PS - been playing 50 years myself, but feel like a beginner lately seeing people like yourself express themselves. Just love it ! )

I'm far more amazed by the young talent such this gal I see here then I am by so called rock stars and those whose names are splashed across the big labels....this young crowd is far more educated musically speaking and talented than the commercial junk we hear out there. She should write her music and put it up...

Great job 🔥

lul 4:10 was so majestic i had to sit down and try to pick it out by ear omg i love the melody
