What an amazing player! From Jermaine Jackson through Iron Maidens to Alice Cooper, that's such a huge journey and to be able to survive it musically means rapid adaptation and consistent performance. Strauss is one of those rare musicians who clearly puts in hours on hours on hours of work to get where she is today. Commendable and downright fucking inspiring.
@@iamrichlol No one deserves to be called "a nobody" but she's not famous that's just a fact. She's a C list celeb only well known in the guitar biz. And she's not very good to be fair. Her solo here stumbled a few times when she tried to let rip. And it's sexist to say she's good just because she's a girl but that's the only reason she's rated. Put her next to most really great guitarists and she's a bit crap.
@@jazznotes3802 Would you think I was being harsh if we were talking about a man? I'm sure she's a nice person and all right I'll role it back a little and leave it at she could be a lot better. Saying she's crap is a bit unfair I suppose. But I was speaking relitivly. Next to joe avergae she's good, but next to anyone regarded as a great player not so much.
Usually in Andertons' guitar demo videos I see Rob always outclassing the Captain when they're jamming..never giving a chance for Cap to shine But in the beginning of this video I finally saw Cap shredding beautifully when Rob's not around. hahaha that was amazing, Captain!
Chappers shreds faster, but the Captain is tastier. Lee kind of reminds me of Paul Nelson in that he can shred if the occasion calls for it, but he prefers to study the blues. I think they complement each other brilliantly in the Andertons videos, and that contrast between their styles really serves well to demo the gear.
When Ralph's character is playing classical guitar, the close up hands are William Kanengiser -- who's a classical guitarist from the Los Angles Guitar Quartet.
i know im asking randomly but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Anders Kristian Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Holy shit captain! What a jam mate! I really hope one day the stars align and John Mayer shows up at your door for a video like this! I love these captain meets videos!
What I really like about her is her respect and love for the instrument. She´is great, doesn't have to be the best guitar player, she´a great musician! great artist.
I personally think companies like MusicMan making signature with people like St. Vincent is one right step for woman in guitar; sometimes aesthetics of rock scene is very man-orientated but I think it's refreshing to see women onstage shredding or playing cool licks.
Lee held it together well at 25:10 I thought when Nita says "when I first got my rack out". Great interview and insight as always Capt, keep them coming.
I didn't know who NIta Strauss was until this video. Searched her up, found out she had a hand in the soundtrack for Metal Gear Rising. Holy fucking shit, she's god.
Brutal and awsome to have Nita in here, sooo cool!! I liked this alot, great to have her to this channel!! I like to have a "not super shredder", but a "feelgood guitar player" for once in awhile! Rock on
Daves music You okay buddy? Lighten up Francis. I think the joke went over your head, relax. Robs not there, she's sitting in Robs usual spot, hence the funny joke today's surgery makes miracles, lol, it's still cracking me up.
My favorite youtube channel interviewing 1 of my top 4 modern guitar heros. Adding to "Greatest UA-cam Videos Of All Time" playlist before it even gets past the intro.
I remember back in the days when I was first starting out when the subject of female guitarists came up, the normal expectation was of some female folk artist strumming an acoustic. When a woman like Lita Ford or Nita, who displayed skills or even just played a more aggressive style of rock or metal or punk came along they used to say they played like a man... Especially if they could shred. The mindset is changing... While guys, myself included, think it's sexy to see an attractive woman with a guitar, if she has skills people are more likely to say she plays well... Without adding "for a chick" on the end. Female guitarists at Nita's level are still a rarity, but there is more attention being drawn to them and whether it's that other women will become inspired to reach that level or just that people's mind sets are changing, there will be more.
Nita Strauss is so cool and one hell of a guitar player. Glad to see she is now playing with the big names. She is just doing what she loves and man is she good at it. Great playing Lee
+EricMetalhead he's actually much more solid with his techniques, and doesn't try to play beyond his skill level. She is a bit too sloppy with the fast passages.
Captain lee i know this is not your style but you did it really well great job. there is no doubt you can call yourself a guitar player now you just happen to own a guitar store as like a back up thing.
Come on man ! He is confused, whether it's the excitement of jamming with her or what a turn on of a beautiful woman who loves guitars as much or more than he does plus can seriously set a guitar neck on fire playing it. 🤟⚡🔥Nita🔥⚡🤟
What a nice lady..............refreshing, cool, relaxed, touring with bands for half her life and still down to earth. Note for note on the 'I'm eighteen solo'. Good stuff. She's doing it in real life not like 99.9% of the wankers who without doubt will reply in a negative way.
I think "Crossroads " and the Steve Vai scene at the end has inspired so so many people to learn to play. As guitarists, we owe a debt of gratitude to Steve Vai, an Iconic guitar player. Btw...I love the tones Nita gets from her cool Ibanez.👌🏼😎
+Random Person I believe I heard or read her say in an interview not too long ago that when her family traced back their family tree, she is one of his descendants. If it's true it's great to see that music has been passed through his bloodline several hundred years to have another professional musician in the family. I have to wonder how many other of his descendants were also professional musicians.
I'm glad that she actually got her signature series guitar and those guitars are amazing looking and playing. Her an Ibanez knocked it out of the park. It doesn't look like a "female" guitar it looks like a badass guitar.
I saw her play with Alice Cooper a few months back. Not once did I doubt her. She was godly! I've never seen a person doubt a female player just because of their gender.
+Christian oh, the shit storm comming your way from the herd of people unable to detect even the thickest layer of irony or sarcasm, i can almost taste it

I always liked Nita Strauss. She is a wonderful and amazing musician. I'm very glad that there are such musicians. :)🎸😎🤩🎩
I'm just really impressed how much better the captains playing has gotten over the last 3-4 years.
I really like Nita, she seems so unaffected by her fame.
I agree. A lot of girls who look good like her and are nobodies have a bigger ego than Nita
@@loganocchionero6621 To a lot of people, Nita is a nobody. Bit rude to call people 'nobodies', just because they don't fit your interests

@@JWS1968 There’s some truth to what you said, but your comment is a little harsh.
She’s just doing what she loves and living it.

Well done Cap'n - only the merest hint of a smirk when she said 'got my rack out'.
If Lee gets Tosin Abasi on "Captain Meets" my life would be complete.
+AKRoyalFlush Word. I could listen to Tosin speak for hours on end. Also Jim Root.
+JunkieMonkey321 Jim Root ftw
+Mattie Jones Johnny 5
It's always fun to count the number of times Jim says Yyyyya know?...Always a great time.
He'll do that when he starts stocking his guitars.
Lee behaving at 25:15 😂.. “hang in there Captain… don’t smirk.”
LMFAO!!!
"When I first got my rack out" Lee, you did so well to keep a straight face there mate. Pro!
awesome video, Nita seems like such a great person to talk gear and music with.
She's great. What an awesome musician and inspiration for both male and female players. Cool lady!
I came to hear her play. I bet not many others did.
+Owen Wright 9/10 joke. Bravo!
+Owen Wright I played!!
+L Blair I did
ha ha, she is one cool player though isn't she!!
You came, so did many other guys...over their screens.
the QUEEN of rock i adore Nita the hard work is finally paying of for her .
Holy SHITE! Captain this was awesome!! great interview and play thru. Nita caught my attention in the Iron Maidens
I LOVE Lee's playing soooooooooo muuuuuuuuch!!!!!
That was just great, what a very nice lady , and such a fantastic guitarist, well done Captain, love all your vids.
Nita is not only a highly talented musician but on top of that she is a gorgeous woman inside and out. The real deal.
I’m so glad to see so many super talented women playing as much and as well as men, finally!
When Ralph's character is playing classical guitar, the close up hands are William Kanengiser -- who's a classical guitarist from the Los Angles Guitar Quartet.
Check out fuckin Lee holding his own in a metal-ish jam. Great job...great interview.

@Alden Aldo Glad I could help :D
That was a damn amazing opening jam
Such a sweet woman! Love hearing her talk about her gear and playing.
very gracious and unaffected.
She's lovely. I really enjoyed watching the video and listen to her talk. Thank you "Captain Lee", for inviting her and making such a great content.
Pause at 7:26 you can see Captain having a cheeky glance there lol

It **kills me how humble, smart, talented and classy Nita is. I wish everyone were this cool.
She is wonderful. Great player, great sense of humor and terrific outlook on life.
Nita is very down to Earth and humble. A great role model for girls wanting to play instruments professionally, in general.
Lovely folk talking about the musical journey. Nita is beautiful and rocking. Lee, some tasty playing. Yeah... Digging this series!
Wait, what? Just watching the first few minutes....Cap'n got himself some rock chops! Seriously, nice one dude :)
Great player and good to see that she is so down to earth and smart. Nice smokey Ibanez S.

Rock on
Nice make-up Rob and hair colour! Today surgery makes miracles!
Lol
Rob looking like that would be amazing enough, but Rob saying he doesn't like pedals... no surgery in the world could made that happen.
+Matt the Owl I think a lobotomy would do the trick

Love Nita and love Blackstar, couldnt be happier unless I had more of both in my life.
I was waiting for more of a shred but was surprised hearing her playing some rock solos :D

How engaging Nita is..down to earth, just someone from next door..great interview Captain.
The captain showing Nita how its done ;)
....Jokes !! Nita is an awesome guitarist too !!
Massive respect for her, no bullshit attitude - just hard work.
Such a talented guitarist and musician.
watched 1 of nitas clinics and was impressed with her knowledge and willingness to teach others.
Captain?? Shredding?? My life is complete
Nita is awesome. She hasn't let fame go to her head. She talks like shes just hanging with friends.
Check out Sara Longfield, Great Gutiarist
I get tired of her playing real fast. It all sounds the same. 800 notes per minute.
I keep coming back for that Captain solo at the beginning. So good and tasteful.
UA-cam comment sections turn into a gross wasteland whenever there is a female musician on screen.
..whenever there is a mildly attractive female on screen.
100% right. She could shame 95% of male guitarists but everyone goes to the simple minded stupid comments.
Awesome interviewer Capt. & she was great. Always great to see "celebs" that are down to earth and she comes off cool as hell.
Great interview, I loved it when Nita mentioned getting her rack out. No seriously she is a great guitar player. We need more females in rock.
Im in Love WOW why cant be this Awesome she sounds great looks great and has great taste in music
Captain was the best in the intro jam
Nita Strauss is so cool and one hell of a guitar player. Glad to see she is now playing with the big names. She is just doing what she loves and man is she good at it. Great playing Lee
The moment you realize the Captain's playing is just as sexy as Nita
+EricMetalhead he's actually much more solid with his techniques, and doesn't try to play beyond his skill level.
She is a bit too sloppy with the fast passages.
+kardRatzinger she's a girl jk
and that's relevant because...?
+kardRatzinger because girls can't play (i'm kidding)
har har.
Great video, huge crush on Nita . Thanks Capt.
Captain, Ibanez and distortion, that´s new :D
+asdfdsa16 It's an absolutely amazing combination.
Great video Captain i love Nita Strauss.....
Captain sneaky ass peak at 7:25 AHAHAHAHAHHA
+Jordan Drake Lee enjoys fine musical booty :D Can't blame the man
+Jordan Drake Only human.
+Jordan Drake Its that little cheeky laugh he does ahahaha
I love the Capt Ahahahahahahaha
L😱L!!!!
Brilliant interview with a brilliant, articulate guitar player.
Captain lee i know this is not your style but you did it really well great job. there is no doubt you can call yourself a guitar player now you just happen to own a guitar store as like a back up thing.
I love both of them so much! Amazing playing, wow!
25:16 the captain holding back the rack gag😂
That neck scratch, though.
@@chickenman7801 he had a little wobble n a wry smile, hes a proper lad 👍
Wow, Nita is just an awesome guitarist. Rock on.
The captain is so nervous. Lol
Who wouldn't be, damn
Come on man ! He is confused, whether it's the excitement of jamming with her or what a turn on of a beautiful woman who loves guitars as much or more than he does plus can seriously set a guitar neck on fire playing it.
🤟⚡🔥Nita🔥⚡🤟
3 minutes of coolness...nice job Lee....kicking it with Nita.....

This was my first time actually listening to her play. This chick shreds!!!! Amazing.
LOL 7:45 - 7:51 "He goes to hell, like we all do..."
If her tone and playing alone wasn't enough, she wins with that right there!
Another great interview, and Lee your playing is getting excellent. I was proud of you holding your own in a style you don't normally play in
I think "Crossroads " and the Steve Vai scene at the end has inspired so so many people to learn to play. As guitarists, we owe a debt of gratitude to Steve Vai, an Iconic guitar player. Btw...I love the tones Nita gets from her cool Ibanez.👌🏼😎
Excellent interview and discussion. I agree and give my approval. Carry on.
Alice Cooper has impeccable taste in Guitarists ! First Orianthi and then Nita . Stunning Ladies with a shitload of talent to boot !
Capitan you got the one and only Nita Strauss, bravo.
Talented and a babe.
Successful as well obviously.
Great video as always.
shes good i like her. never heard of her tho

Nice Interview as always Captain Lee. I love the series. Nita seems to be a very humble and lovely person. That was fun to watch.
I have never seen The Captain so nervous, it's like he is 16 year old boy with a crush.
Nita is an outstanding awesome guitarist respect! There playing together was amazing loved it excellent interview Lee! :-).
I feel bad for Andertons' sales for fx pedals...
"lets sell some effect pedals!"
"I don't use any".
*crosses legs*
Awesome episode Lee, keep it up!
Stellar effort keeping it together at 25:15, +CaptAnderton.
That was a sick jam, get in there Cap! :D
NIce interview Lee...and what a smart young lady. Oh, and she can sure play!
Shes probably the best female guitarist I have ever heard
Really...??
You haven’t heard many then. Because she’s actually pretty bad lol. If this was a guy that playing would be torn to shreds on here.
Love Nita. She's first class both as a player and as a person! Cool interview.
16:18 Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Legend. Love this video. 🖤
Captains face when she said "get my rack out" 😂😂😂😂
I'm glad that she actually got her signature series guitar and those guitars are amazing looking and playing. Her an Ibanez knocked it out of the park. It doesn't look like a "female" guitar it looks like a badass guitar.
"When I first got my rack out..." O...o YES!! lol
Such an excellent player. I love these Captain meets videos. Keep them coming!
She’s a great ambassador for Ibanez.
The best Lee´s rock solo ever in the intro! :)
I saw her play with Alice Cooper a few months back. Not once did I doubt her. She was godly! I've never seen a person doubt a female player just because of their gender.
One of the best interviews yet. Very interesting.
I'd really like to see a video where Lee meets a true blues guitarist :D
Not that phony Robben Ford guy? ;-)
