I think its because she has ZERO idea of what she's doing, except for an old MelBay chord chart. Zero lessons, zero help, she just picked it up and went with it on her own about a year ago. Town she lives in has like 30 houses... tiny dot surrounded by farms, so its just something she does I guess. Does it ok too.
I'm giving her an L6s Gibson I just restored for her, for Christmas. Her mom (my bud) and dad approved.
