    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.

    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!

    • @leebrunk4390
      @leebrunk4390 8 років тому +22

      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.

  • @thisdyingsoul76
    @thisdyingsoul76 8 років тому +9

    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.

    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!

    I bet the king of innuendo the Captain was smiling when she said she got her rack out for her tech

      I don't know how he kept a straight face knowing how he never (normally) lets an innuendo go by.

    I've watched a few of her interviews now and the main thing I notice is she turns her head a lot to talk directly to those watching and listening very commendable

      I get tired of her playing real fast. It all sounds the same. 800 notes per minute.

    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.
