Comfortably.....uhhhhmmm

OK, so it's not the gender you were getting at, really, but the fact that it's a minority of guitar players. So she's one of the better guitarists... as long as you exclude the majority of them ;)
 
I'm not saying you're sexist or prejudiced in any way. I'm not saying anything about you at all in fact. I'm saying that "she's great... if you don't count guys" is a bit of a backhanded compliment!  :laughing7:
 
I'm just saying that not how I meant it. now stop messing with me.

BTW isn't the whole point of this thread to ogle over her or did I miss something?

 
The ability to generate music is a good deal more rare than the ability to copy it. It'll be interesting to hear her later, somewhere around her 3rd or 4th CD release. For now, I'd rather listen to Gilmour. Interestingly enough, that song didn't really become guitar hero stuff until long after the fact.

If there's an out of sync issue then it would be the same distance for the whole video.
She releases that D chord way before the sound ends, but the beginning of the solo is visually in sync with the audio.

I believe that someone recorded the audio over the original PF track,
and then and she's lip syncing to it.
Maybe she did the recording, but I'm convinced that
what we're hearing and what we're seeing are not the same take.

Other things to look at.
The string scrape with the pick at 1:36.
Visually she scrapes on the top 2 or 3 strings but we all know there are no windings to scrape on those strings
to get that strong of a zinger.

Anyway ... it doesn't matter. It's just my point of view and of course I could be wrong.
If I were going to do a vid like this I'd want my guitar track panned full left and out there alone,
so there would be no doubt.

This is going way back in the thread but the D sustaining is because the D chord has an OPEN string.  That's what sustains, you can clearly hear the other strings drop out.

Also if it was faked I feel like they would have made it sound better than this....I just put it on without watching the video and its...good, but not even close to the best I've heard someone play comfortably numb...

I with you.  All of you so-called "good musicians" can go to hell. :icon_tongue: 


Heh.

Bingo!  +1

I see it in the bar scene all the time.  "___________ does the best version of Little Wing, Sweet Home Alabama, and Mustang Sally you've ever heard!  I can't believe he/she isn't signed." Maybe it's because they're playing Little Wing, Sweet Home Alabama, and Mustang Sally.
 
Wow...some of you guys're wrapped a little tight, ain'tcha? The lady's GOOD! Why do we guitar players work so hard to find something wrong with another's playing instead of just enjoying it?
Or, if you don't enjoy it, don't listen...that said, I can certainly be just as guilty of that stuff as anyone, but I gotta tell ya, watching this thread 'unfold' was...WTF? As in--'How many guitarists does it take to change a light bulb? A: Eight....one to screw it in, and seven to tell him he s*cked doin' it.'  (Am I allowed to say that?)  :toothy11:
 
Yeah  :icon_scratch:  What Grey  Greg said.

Those that have bagged her  :evil4:
Then why not show us YOUR u-tube or videos then  :icon_biggrin:

I think there's a real danger in some of this early praise. A case in point is the grinning idiot Desiree Bassett, who has been jumping on stages with whoever whenever and grinning her way through fuzztone nonsense. She started popping up about four years ago at age 15, and her ego is now boosted to the point that she will get up on stage and "play" In Memory of Elizabeth Reed with Dicky Betts - and she doesn't know the song. She craps all over the place here, grinning from ear-to-ear, blissfully unaware of the existence of pre-existing music - in 15 minutes she never does figure out what key(s) to play in. But on her resume she can now list she "jammed" with Dicky Betts! Weird.

I don't think anyone said anything bad about the girl. I certainly never said there was something wrong with her playing. she is good. but as I said I've seen better. there are a ton of people that do fantastic covers, sorry if I think its kinda standard, if I saw her at a local bar I'd compliment her but I'm not seeing anything I haven't seen before. somebody else said it'll be interesting to see her in a few years. hopefully she'll spend less time doing covers in a few years.
 
I don't think her level of skill is anything to get worked up about. Sadly I suspect that nobody would have even posted a link to it if it was a guy playing. I can play the solo better than that and I am really not that great of a guitarist. I can't play that fast run she does though. That's why I said her ad-lib bits are better. It seems she has more technical skill than feel - hence the timing being a bit off on the canon parts of the solo.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing that her gender helps a bit though. The world definitely needs more girl guitarists.
 
I'm not bagging on het at all.  As many of the guys that have already chimed in with experiences of learning that, it's a great piece.  I was agreeing with Stubhead about recreation vs. creation.  Most of what I'll ever play has been written by someone else, and there's songs I play I wish I'd written.  Rather than go, "Wow she's good," I think, "Wow, David Gilmour is good."

And this is "dangerous"? From what I've heard, it's probably more dangerous just being anywhere around Dicky Betts!! Heh-heh... :icon_biggrin:....Resume?!

now for a girl that can play original music or covers with great tone.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXniVCOCtGg

i read about her in a guitar magazine years back for winning one of their competitions. and i gotta say she deserved the title.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNP6HZWCZuA&feature=relmfu

she does acoustic too, and sings, but the songs i've heard her sing are not my style. pretty voice though.

edit: ok found her website through her youtube channel and she is apparently also a photographer and artist. just an all around increadible talent. i have friends in niagra, i wonder if she still performs. most of this stuff is old but i'd pay to see her play when i'm up there if she still does.

Ah, Nori Bucci's awesome - she's from my neck of the woods.  I'd seen her with Gamalon at the same venue the video's from (CPG).  I believe she's doing a new guitar duo project with Bruce Brucato from Gamalon, but I haven't caught them yet.

As far as Juliette Valduriez, she has a video of an improv she plays over the end of I Want You (She's So Heavy) that floored me:

Exactly, the reason i posted it, is not because of jealousy, but of admiration. I have no issue at all giving credit where credit is do. And if they're better then me, then good for them, I applaud them whole heartedly..

Well played Greg or Grey, whatever your name is.... :laughing11:
