Posted this one a few hours early so I will have time to respond to all your comments before I'm gone for the afternoon!!! I'm working on something really fun today so make sure you're watching my instagram for updates!!! Enjoy the video😊😊😊 ⚡️also!! I think we can get to 7k this weekend! SHARE SHARE SHARE and let's make it happen🤘🤘🤘
The 80s was the best. With your passion I couldn’t imagine how your passion would be magnified if you had experienced it first hand. Thanks for keeping it alive
Playing in a band is fantastic. The energy and sound waves coming from the amps is intoxicating. I actually played in a few bands back in the late 80s early 90s. I'm now teaching my grandson drums so we can jam together.
Love the channel, Emily! My daughter is 17 and started playing about the same time you did, I would bet you guys would be best friends. One thing she does to get stage time is playing open jams. It has improved her skills playing with other musicians and really boosted her confidence. It's hard for young people to find other musicians these days. Would highly recommend.
I would play in a band with the younger generation. I just want like minded musicians that aren’t also into the drug scene and the youth is smarter than we were.
I once went into every guitar store in a 50 mile radius of me over about a months time attempting to try out most things on the market and for me although I love the tone of a Les Paul loaded up with EMG’s like what Zack Wylde plays for pure tone overall the fast action playing ergonomics and overall balanced tone I would give the nod to the PRS Custom 24 family (SE included) or the Ibanez Vai models. A lot of people don’t know that PRS himself was mentored by a small guitar luthier out of North Carolina who has made guitars on and off since the 1970’s named Terry McInturff. My all time favorite guitar and main axe is a McInturff Polaris- it’s like if a PRS and Les Paul blend more or less. They are rare to find but sometimes they do pop up on eBay. My favorite guitarist who inspired me to start playing is Mark Tremonti (check out ‘Avo Ravi Taco Salad’ and Alter Bridge’s Blackbird album, some of Mark’s best work IMO) I was a big Metallica and metal fan in general as a young teen but found them and a lot of people in that genres vibe kinda dark and toxic as I got older and realized more of what they were about and how negative a lot of metal music (I consider Dokken, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, etc. Hard Rock or 80’s rock) really is and Tremonti has that metal influence without all the dark negative lyrics a lot of metal has (Mark was also a Big Led Zeppelin fan and brings that 70’s rock sensibility to it all just like my first guitar teacher who taught me so much as we lived on Page and Hendrix) plus he’s into all kinds of other music like I am (not just rock also a blues and jazz fan-I highly recommend Joe Pass, Charlie Byrd, Grant Green, Robbin Ford, Bernard Allison, B.B. King, Jim Hall, and Pat Martino’s guitar work) and it shines through in the music. His solo albums to me as Tremonti band and the earlier first two Alter Bridge albums are my favorite ones and the very first Creed album was really good too. I think a solid diet of Zeppelin as a young musician gives a band a nice foundation for painting their sonic aesthetic with different styles (acoustic, altered tunings, blues, folk, and even some jazz fusion), and pop sensibility to create relatable melodic music without being cheesy or too soft like studio label controlled pop artist top 40 rubbish and writing interesting rock music that still very much rocks. Mark always said if you want people to know who you are as a musician as their are so many people out here playing music then you really have to write good songs above all else as that’s more important than the solos and shredding (that’s why I’ve always found Tremonti and Van Halen s easy to listen to is the melodys, harmony, and song writing are all their on top of the excellent guitar riffs and solos that inspire you as a guitarist where most of these guys who can play 16th notes at 180bpm faster than everyone else for the most part tend to write lousy songs) but my first guitar teacher also said if all you want to do is jam out with your combo amp in your living room then that’s cool too. He was around in the 70’s in Cleveland Ohio scene playing gigs when Rush ‘Working Man’ by Rush is some great guitar work if you’ve never heard it before) first started playing club gigs living out of their van coming down to play in the States from their hometown/Toronto ON in their very early years as a band.
At the age of 65, I got to experience some of the greatest guitar music, 70’s and 80’s firsthand. I bought my first guitar and amp from a friend at 28 and have played off and on since! Keep up the great work. All those great influences will shine through when you write your own! 👍🤟👊
You are doing great Emily! I’m so glad to see young people like yourself enjoy 70’s and 80’s rock music. I got to see a lot those bands back in the day. Keep on rocking👍🎸
Completing your first song is a big deal, will likely give you a sense of accomplishment and will likely inspire you to write another because you want to get better at this craft. And so the amazing journey begins.
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm a girl bassist and you really inspire me!! I'm newer to your channel and we actually have similar music taste. I love Van Halen + Skid Row too!! Rock on !! 🤘🫶🎸
Thank you for telling about your awesome guitar tone. But you didn't say if you're using a microphone when recording. Because I use cab sim direct into a mixing board. Example. But I never tell all my secrets either. LOL. Keep up the great work.😎
u'r so talented! so proud of u'r accomplishments! a request: ''fly to the Angels.'' by the band Slaughter! sounds all creapy, but it's real purdy!;) good luck & take care performing!
I would sit down and listen to some Randy Rhoads, Rik Emmett, Gary Moore and so on. You are def listening to the right ERA but maybe because I grew up in that era I am impartial to it. George is a nice guy down to earth and a huge influence on my style!
It's nice to see other young people enjoying 80s rock aswell. I also started about 3 years ago back in high school. My influences went like this Beatles/Eagles/CCR/Deep Purple/Rainbow/Bon Jovi/ Van Halen/Motley Crue/Dokken/Ratt. Van Halen and Ratt have become my favourite bands along with beatles. You seem to have gotten pretty large guitar collection in a short time. I'm still "only" at 5 guitars. When Final exams were coming up my guitar addiction was at all time high I used to play 7h per day. Nowdays I only play 2-4 hours. My first guitar has stayed my favourite even tough it only cost 100€. Later down the line I swapped the bridge pickup. Last summer I already had to sand the frets as they were so worn out...
Definitely check out my few KISS covers lol I also have a Spark 40. Now I just use amp sims on the computer. Mainly Neural DSP Petrucci. I love that I can digitally tune down with the transpose option!
Man I gotta get one of em spark amps... EVH inspired me to make my own tones and the cube amps I have aren't great for that. 😆 By the way have you heard Steve Vai's work with Frank Zappa and David Lee Roth? Never liked much of his instrumentals, but dude, I LOVE his work with those two guys! His best in my opinion! Also I agree with your stance on 80's vs 90's music. 80's all day because the standards musicians had to live up to were much higher! 🤘
Very cool Q & A Emily!! I totally agree with on the 80’s/Hairbands🎸🎸 wish they were still playing. Hope you have a wonderful and rockin’ weekend!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎸😎😎
Excellent KISS sweatshirt! Very cool video. I also can't get over your guitar collection in the background. 😮🎸😁😎 A piece of advice about finals week in College, don't sweat it and do your best. Way back in the day I'd sometimes over-think things. Just study and prepare, you'll be alright. 😁
I used to train my ear by learning whatever song came up on MTV. You know, back when it was acutely music television. If you’re able, I do recommend you join a band. Nothing helps you to grow as a musician than playing with other musicians. I not only got better as a guitarist, it forced me to stretch as a musician. I learned to adjust my playing style to the song and to the group.
I love your enthusiasm for guitar playing and 80’s music, it inspires me with my own playing and I’ve already learnt a couple of the songs you’ve done covers of after watching your videos. Keep rocking and making fun content, your doing great 👍 😊
That was a fun video. Nice to get to know you better. Nursing college. You have a lot on your plate. But very good profession. In my town it's booming. New level 1 trauma center. New nursing college beside a couple other universities. Look forward to part 2. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video Emily! Loving the content. It’s not common to see other people in our age group that have any remote interest in guitar so never mind interest in the music, it’s always awesome to find another person who loves it! Definitely nice to know I’m not alone as a guitar nerd 😂
Great vid. Your love for 80s rock is infectious and treated with respect proper. You name all the good ones! 6 string slingers that paved a way to new vibes. Nitta Strauss (not 80s but puts many 80s to shame) & Greg Howe (80s) were not mentioned though and i encourage you to give em a go... two totally different players but equaly worth a listen. If you have time. Sounds like you have your hands full! 🤘😔🎸
I use Moises as well. It is a great tool not only for backing tracks, but also for practicing with a metronome, isolating tracks to learn by ear, slowing down, seeing the chord changes, etc.
Just discovered your channel a few days ago and absolutely love your content here. I'm impressed you are learning to play guitar and have focused on the music many of us grew up listening to in the 1980s, Ratt, Dokken, Motley Crue, Kiss, etc. I suggest also checking out Dream Theater, Rush, and Iron Maiden and learning (and maybe covering) some of their songs. Another great guitarist to checkout is Eric Johnson, especially his Ah Via Musicom album, it's some amazing stuff. Keep up the great work and I look forward to watching what you create for us.
Hi Emily, I'm not recommending this or anything but this is a simple idea that I use on my guitars. I take a small piece of painters tape and write the date I changed strings, and put it on the back plate of the guitar, and change them PRN. Best of luck on your guitar and nursing journeys!
Your opinion on 80’s bands being musicians is spot on. I used to love the male singers who sang in a very high register. Steve Perry type singers and the 80’s had a lot of that and it sounded so beautiful. Music rocked hard but was also deep and beautiful. Do you like Mick Mars (Motley Crue)? Another band that is from the time and still going today is Iron Maiden. Their music is a little more metal but they do a lot of harmonies with two lead guitarists and the singer (Bruce Dickinson) has a very 80’s voice. One deep cut from Iron Maiden that has an awesome 80’s hair band sound is “out of the silent planet”. That song will give you a representation of the vocal power of the band too.
Steve Perry is so good! I have mixed opinions about Mick…. Iron Maiden is a little too heavy for me but I can’t deny they rock!!! Thanks for the comment!!!
@@guitarbyemily Mick’s guitar playing and songwriting is single handily what made their music sound as good as it did. And he was also the nice one in the band. He didn’t get into the majority of debauchery that Motley Crue is known for. And with a spinal crushing condition he still went out there and played his heart out for their reunion before they abandoned him.
Great video Emily. I learned a lot in part 1. It's great you love listening to so many guitarists. That will definitely help you create your own sound. I was fortunate enough to see some of the guitarists and bands you mentioned, in concert (Satriani, EVH, Joe Perry, Vito Bratta, Tom Kiefer & Jeff Labar, and Richie Sambora). I think most of us who are subscribed to your channel have a long list of faves as well. Definitely keep going. My old guitar teacher from years ago, Marty Friedman, was virtually unknown when I was taking lessons from him. Perhaps your picture will end up on the cover of Guirtar Player or Guitar World someday, with you being the featured article!!! By the way, have you thought of joining Patreon? It might help you finance your journey. Just sayin'.
@@guitarbyemily Not really. I knew Marty when we both lived in Hawaii. I lost track of him a number of years ago, after he left the islands. The friend who introduced us lives in Japan now, just like Marty, but he said he hasn't run into him over there.
CIao! I was jamming with your Guitar By Emily tone yesterday as a matter of fact. Just jamming, making up riffs as I went along. As I've said before, it is a very cool tone. I was playing in dropped D yesterday which made it even heavier. In my opinion EVH's solo on the Live Without A Net tape is the best recorded live guitar solo ever. You have a couple of my dream guitars in your arsenal. The white Jem and the JS2480. I've also always wanted what's called a Jem Woody. A natural wood finish, antiqued, it just looks really cool! Lol I've always been into natural wood grain guitars. From my mahogany Ibanez 540S to my current EVH Wolfgang with a natural Bocote top. Thru the years I've gotten picks from Satriani, Vai, Lynch, Michael Wilton of Queensryche, Eric Johnson, and more. Always an awesome momento. Would have loved to get an EVH pick but was never close enough to get one. Again, I have to ask, as a college student and being so young, how are you able to amass this great collection of guitars? Anyways, keep up the good work! Paul in Sicily
Got my spark grid mini last summer and I’ve never regretted it or unplugged it together with the spark control foot switch it is the best thing ever. But I don’t really know if it is that good for live performances
I love the shirt. Saw Ace in concert last week for the first time since the Psycho Circus tour. It was pretty cool! Shame you never got to experience EVH or Sambora (I assume you haven't...never heard you mention it) in a live setting. They were both great. Eddie was much louder lol. Edit: You're right about tabs. A great many of them online are wrong.
Great video, Emily. I highly encourage you to pick up and play a acoustic-electric guitar as well. It will improve your rhythm and present a whole new "feel" of guitar for you.
When you start getting gear from companies to review on videos, make sure to always disclose that the gear was provided for you before you review it because that is one thing people get very pissy about and it has become like a content provider ethic.
One guitarist you didn't mention is Paul Gilbert of Mr. Big. I'm sure your list wasn't all inclusive and you might already know about him. Their heyday was in the late 80s and early 90s. Anyhow, check out this video of him playing their song Green Tinted 60s Mind. I like this video because as guitar players, we like to see the closeup of the original artist playing the song. Sadly, Mr. Big are on their final tour. If you get a chance to see them, I highly recommend going. They will be in Ohio in May. ua-cam.com/video/yOusR-8ZTX4/v-deo.html
First thank your hard work creating and sharing. You and your work are apricated. But the "Van Halen Eruption" My jaw dropped" comment kinda' sent me on a mental tangent a bit, You must have lead a very sheltered/limited; musical life growing up at least guitar player-wise? Yeah Always .. " Eddie Van Halen" To me sounds at best ? Like? A 16 or 17 year old "Tina S". on a bad day. To me he was; Just the guitar player in David Lee Roth's backup band,. IMO. Players like Alvin Lee were shredding cleaner than "Eddie" in the 60's & early 70's. Besides the "Hot For Teacher & Jump solos' were better than eruption anyway.. I mean we like who we like .. But we need to be a little clinical when describing and relating an artist abilities to an abundance. Not just our feelings of nostalgia and Hyperbole. Just Say.n. Anyway? .. Peace Out and good luck with your journey.
Keep doing what makes you most happyWill keep watching and listening.Thank you for sharing your gift with the world and me.Positive energy for you and your collage goals."keep fighting the good fight".......song request band out of phoenix 80s. Icon.song under my gun..album Iconoclast.i know you can shred this...Tranquility for your day

Hi Emily🎉 Old school is cool 😎 Your Dad should be commended by raising you right. There needs to be more cool chics like you❤
I could listen and watch you all day😊

Thanks! My area doesn't really offer anything like that unfortunately!
I would play in a band with the younger generation. I just want like minded musicians that aren’t also into the drug scene and the youth is smarter than we were.
If i can suggest a few of my faves Rory Gallagher, Steve Marriot, Peter Frampton. Good luck with your channel!
I once went into every guitar store in a 50 mile radius of me over about a months time attempting to try out most things on the market and for me although I love the tone of a Les Paul loaded up with EMG’s like what Zack Wylde plays for pure tone overall the fast action playing ergonomics and overall balanced tone I would give the nod to the PRS Custom 24 family (SE included) or the Ibanez Vai models. A lot of people don’t know that PRS himself was mentored by a small guitar luthier out of North Carolina who has made guitars on and off since the 1970’s named Terry McInturff. My all time favorite guitar and main axe is a McInturff Polaris- it’s like if a PRS and Les Paul blend more or less. They are rare to find but sometimes they do pop up on eBay.

Beautiful and talented... what else ?
Ibanez is such a great guitar company! :)
Keep working on it Emily - can't wait to hear (when you're ready to share it) any new 80's style music you put out there
Awesome! Thanks!!!

Love Slaughter!!! Thanks!
You have great taste in music as I love the 80s. Yes my favorite movie is TopGun. I can’t wait to see what you come up with for a song you wrote.
I would sit down and listen to some Randy Rhoads, Rik Emmett, Gary Moore and so on. You are def listening to the right ERA but maybe because I grew up in that era I am impartial to it. George is a nice guy down to earth and a huge influence on my style!
Amazing as always 😊
Thank you so much 😀

being able to down tune and pitch shift digitally is a game changer!
Man I gotta get one of em spark amps... EVH inspired me to make my own tones and the cube amps I have aren't great for that. 😆

Great stuff and love the Q & A Emily 🙂 Film when you can and we all will love it for sure 😎 Check out Tony Macalpine as well, such a virtuoso.
Thanks!
New intro/editing is great!
Thanks!
I use Moises as well. It is a great tool not only for backing tracks, but also for practicing with a metronome, isolating tracks to learn by ear, slowing down, seeing the chord changes, etc.

Hi Emily, I'm not recommending this or anything but this is a simple idea that I use on my guitars. I take a small piece of painters tape and write the date I changed strings, and put it on the back plate of the guitar, and change them PRN. Best of luck on your guitar and nursing journeys!

CIao! I was jamming with your Guitar By Emily tone yesterday as a matter of fact. Just jamming, making up riffs as I went along. As I've said before, it is a very cool tone. I was playing in dropped D yesterday which made it even heavier. In my opinion EVH's solo on the Live Without A Net tape is the best recorded live guitar solo ever. You have a couple of my dream guitars in your arsenal. The white Jem and the JS2480. I've also always wanted what's called a Jem Woody. A natural wood finish, antiqued, it just looks really cool! Lol I've always been into natural wood grain guitars. From my mahogany Ibanez 540S to my current EVH Wolfgang with a natural Bocote top. Thru the years I've gotten picks from Satriani, Vai, Lynch, Michael Wilton of Queensryche, Eric Johnson, and more. Always an awesome momento. Would have loved to get an EVH pick but was never close enough to get one. Again, I have to ask, as a college student and being so young, how are you able to amass this great collection of guitars? Anyways, keep up the good work! Paul in Sicily
Thanks so much!!!
Got my spark grid mini last summer and I’ve never regretted it or unplugged it together with the spark control foot switch it is the best thing ever. But I don’t really know if it is that good for live performances
I've used it, and it works well!
That’s amazing
I love the shirt. Saw Ace in concert last week for the first time since the Psycho Circus tour. It was pretty cool! Shame you never got to experience EVH or Sambora (I assume you haven't...never heard you mention it) in a live setting. They were both great. Eddie was much louder lol.
Edit: You're right about tabs. A great many of them online are wrong.
That's cool!
Great video, Emily. I highly encourage you to pick up and play a acoustic-electric guitar as well. It will improve your rhythm and present a whole new "feel" of guitar for you.
Thank you! I do play acoustic, I just don't post it as much! But more coming soon!
When you start getting gear from companies to review on videos, make sure to always disclose that the gear was provided for you before you review it because that is one thing people get very pissy about and it has become like a content provider ethic.
Yes of course. I'm very grateful for product sponsorships;)
How did you become interest in 80s rock guitar?
My dad!
One guitarist you didn't mention is Paul Gilbert of Mr. Big. I'm sure your list wasn't all inclusive and you might already know about him. Their heyday was in the late 80s and early 90s. Anyhow, check out this video of him playing their song Green Tinted 60s Mind. I like this video because as guitar players, we like to see the closeup of the original artist playing the song. Sadly, Mr. Big are on their final tour. If you get a chance to see them, I highly recommend going. They will be in Ohio in May. ua-cam.com/video/yOusR-8ZTX4/v-deo.html

OMG her hair...
Thanks!
First thank your hard work creating and sharing. You and your work are apricated.
But the "Van Halen Eruption" My jaw dropped" comment kinda' sent me on a mental tangent a bit, You must have lead a very sheltered/limited; musical life growing up at least guitar player-wise?
Yeah Always .. " Eddie Van Halen" To me sounds at best ?
Like? A 16 or 17 year old "Tina S". on a bad day.
To me he was; Just the guitar player in David Lee Roth's backup band,. IMO.
Players like Alvin Lee were shredding cleaner than "Eddie" in the 60's & early 70's.
Besides the "Hot For Teacher & Jump solos' were better than eruption anyway..
I mean we like who we like .. But we need to be a little clinical when describing and relating an artist abilities to an abundance. Not just our feelings of nostalgia and Hyperbole.
Just Say.n.
Anyway? .. Peace Out and good luck with your journey.
I can't believe that nobody asked the most obvious question:
While you're playing around with your guitar, who is making your boyfriend his sandwich??
Excuse me???
