My hat is off to Nita for even trying to attempt that lick on the spot. Nita is a fantastic guitar player with great showmanship. Alice Cooper hit the jackpot hiring her. I personally dig her passion, drive and gratefulness to be be doing what she is doing for the metal music industry and that's just part of what makes her truly beautiful.
While I agree she's a phenomenal player. She's still lacking back catalogue. She needs to spread her wings and do her own thing. Would really like her to explore and try to get out of the shredding box.
Who could also nail that Gus G lick??? I would say "Upload a video and you never know, you might win something!" but I'm not sure any of you would be interested. What do you think??? //Andy

Guthrie isn't any better than other virtuosos. He's an artist with a discernable playing style and what he plays no one else plays. It's just natural. He could not play like JP or Marry Friedman and vice versa. Playing the guitar isn't a sport or a competition.
Make no mistake towards this, Nita is very fluent, I've seen her 20' from her side of stage twice. This is a lick Gus highly probable has had in bag years prior, which if you asked him towards, he placed much practice to achieve stellar execution. Nita has many licks that are extraordinary as well. Along with her Floyd excursions that most are lack within variety catagory. Nita has many Floyd conversions, that must be her own choices towards. One aspect towards both Nita, also Gus, post show conclusions, there usual very first words spoken is thank you" . Directly to the attendees. My very first time viewing Nita/maidens summer/2012, only break she took was for some water, approx 2-minutes as example. 120-consecutive minutes she was stellar. Post show Nita/Wanda, most likely very fatigued, much needed brake being human, came off stage, signed autographs, also had a table full of memorbilia items. Gus night driver is stellar, very creative, sound quality is extraordinary, as well as his demon stomp being stellar as well. Nita has stellar live videos that are inside/outside diversified tracts. Very creative girl, also very colorful videos. Both never are repititious, boring never within either of these two guitarists. They both take daily grind away, with there skills in other words.
Pretty much exactly how I felt. I was lost as soon as Gus came on the screen. We are but mere mortals!!! Do you think you could play it if you were given enough time? //Andy
Look folks , Nita Strauss is good . BUT if she had trouble with that riff ? Remember that's just Gus G's WARM UP riff when he is bored 😂💥🔥🙊🙉🙈🙄🤔 . She would be completely lost matching his 🔥 Firewind material .
Hey guys I dislike your video and one week ago I don’t know why but I so want to do you actually have an episode for reft challenge by the way I like that guy who is doing a UA-cam channel with the star of the Alice Cooper band from 2014 and 2018 of course I don’t know why Alice Cooper is banned for part because because I know this test one of the band members
No worries legend by the way and you can do another UA-cam video I already subscribed to yours anyway but I make sure you can get some more information for me about the Alice Cooper band because I’m actually quite interested so next time you do a UA-cam video you can get some more information and you can let me know and speaking of guitarists I’m actually Thinking of some more information about Alice Cooper unite yeah the rock legend
Not really a riff, what he does is sweep picking arpeggios, all Nita had to do was finding the keys and progressions. Jason Becker is one of Nita's heroes, so she has practiced a lot around arpeggios like everyone else who plays neoclassical leads. Someone who never practiced sweep picking arpeggios will not nail them just like that, defintly not with speed and each note sounding clean.
no one knows Gus, therefore his challenges are not of import...on the other hand, Nita has a signature guitar from Ibanez and a long-standing gig with Alice Cooper...that's the real challenge.
don t really care for her at all, gus g wails though -rather listen and see ritchie girlfriend , Orianthi -she is way better and hotter than this wanna be !!!!!
We're talking about Gus G, the guy is a machine.
I can do the string breaking part.
Video or it didn't happen....

Thomann Music Are there any rules? And is it open for locals only?

Thomann Music Thank you for replying. Good day
No problem, Mark! This is Andy by the way!
//Andy
I could probably nail the first part.
Honestly, my favorite part is how done Gus looks when his string breaks. He's like "really? ... And she has to break a string too."
Two of the best shredders.
Kostas rulez! 👌🏻
Hard to be put on the spot like that; Nita rips regardless.
Rips, she does!!!
Guthrie would be invincible on the riff challenge show
But also ruin it for everyone who might try to follow
If you walked in and you were facing Guthrie you’d just throw you guitar over your shoulder and say you forfeit

Actually he can play like those guys, and many more, and that’s why he’d win the riff challenge show 🏆: ua-cam.com/video/-VzKyPruPgA/v-deo.html
OMG! Glad to see Nita Strauss again! She's one of my favorite female guitarists! Thanks a lot Thoman Music!
Вадим Выкин Can’t she just be one of your favorite guitarists?
What a cool series idea. Well done Nina

See is so cool and clearly in synch with her so , so beautiful
Nitaaaaa 😍😍😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It's Gus your friend
thats what im wondering 2
Stop talking Shit guys. He has a wife and i think she wouldn't like to see written things like that. Nobody would like it
Well done Nita! I would have to practice that for months to get even close to what you did!
Gus g is a pentatonic machine blasts. A heavy heavy metal machine. Nita also attempts very good, though. Respect to both.
That's probably a riff Gus G has played a million times, I bet if she practiced more than the few hours she was there she'd nail it.
She only had a few minutes!!! Nita rocks and Jiva is such a great guitar. If you ever get the chance to play one, take it and run!!!
//Andy
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses she definitely can play!
Go check out other videos of Gus g mate ...
I think Nita did a fine job. She Rocks. Love her new signature guitar. It’s on my wish list. 🤠
Impressive and worthy attempt!!
wow i love those fretboard inlays
very difficult to match gus g's clarity and timing when it comes to playing riffs ... he's so underrated actually
Holy shit I got mad respect for her for being real. She's a beast on the guitar!!!!!!!
Let's be honest here okay? I bet she's a beast in bed!!
Nice job Nita, I love the fact you're always up for a challenge. I bet it took Gus a little practice to get it that smooth. lol.
wow incredible!
Gus and Nita. 💑💏
u nailed it, make me think of steve vai in the movie cross road
One of my all-time favourite movies. Karate AND Guitar. Ralph is a cool dude.
//Andy
Got owned by the G.
it does sounds good
can you tell me what`s that sweep?
Gus!!!!!
She did great for only just hearing it. Even if she heard it ten times. Gus is great, and so is she! She's easier on the eyes though. 🤣🤟♥️🤟
fuck the eyes, the sound counts.
I love you Nita xoxo 😘
guys what`s that sweep?
Now *Gus griswald* from *recess* wanna challenge *Nita*
Great job Nina! Close enough!! ;-)
Hey, it's rock n roll!
//Andy
yeah good luck with that!!!!
Nice
Hold my beer y'all! I can break strings like a mofo..
Video or it didn't happen....
//Andy
Κωσταρα σαγαπαμε 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
I like blackstar amps, they sound good to me
Broken Strings for more motional note. 1:00
NICE CHALLENGE GUS G.
Riff Challenge: Misha Mansoor vs John Petrucci
Wat!!! im still struggling with Smoke on the Water 😂
I can't sweep pick so I like when I see someone who can.
Its weird. Once you learn how to, your love of it diminishes abit.
🤘🏽Nita
ΜΟΥΣΙΚΟΊ κ ΜΟΥΣΙΚΉ! ❤
Nina you need to hear "The Warning" the Best Rock Band , three sister band, next generation!
Love Nita 🔥
I can do it very easely but I won't cause I don't want to break my string.
Ela nao toca só FRITA so mais o CABRA aí o homem mandou BEM todo VIRTUOSO ..🫡🫡😍😍👏👏
1:56 she forgot to snap the string
Apart from that obvious error, Nita did an uptown job!
//Andy
FANTASTISCHSHCHSCHCH NITA SSSSHCTRAUSS 🤣🤣🤣🤣
For some reason Gus makes a blackstar sound good
Black star does sound good
And shit players make even the best gear sound like shit. No mystery there
Koki Zuniga I guess I’m not a fan of the blackstar amps. But all in the fingers for sure
She’s got a really good ear.
1:20 😍
Holy fuck
Respect to Nita.
Damned straight. I doubt there are many who would even attempt such a challenge! *goes off to practice guitar*
//Andy
I would just have been like "ok what the heck man. How should I get that right now?" and practice the China riff for 2 days.
Pretty much exactly how I felt. I was lost as soon as Gus came on the screen. We are but mere mortals!!! Do you think you could play it if you were given enough time?
//Andy
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses to be honest I think everyone can do when practicing hard. But right off the bat is a art for itself.
tell Gus to challenge Yngwie.!! he would struggle with that lick!
Nita so fit
I'm a simple man. I see Guillaume, I click.
Me too. I see your comment, I reply and say Hi!
//Andy
Hello Mr. Geek! ;)
Look folks , Nita Strauss is good . BUT if she had trouble with that riff ? Remember that's just Gus G's WARM UP riff when he is bored 😂💥🔥🙊🙉🙈🙄🤔 . She would be completely lost matching his 🔥 Firewind material .
absolutely. Gus made no effort with those few arpeggios. Even tried to make it easy.
😂😂😂 Very Good, Nita!!! 😃👍
I would need at least a week to get that and even then it wouldn't be that good.
//Andy
It was all for a good laugh until Gus G came. I loved Petrucci's lick though hilarious.
Thought she did hell of a job
Gus g is are match with Marty Friedman 👍👍🤟🤟
I think it was staged. She had the lick.
I can 100% promise you that she did not. She saw the video, had one hour to learn it and then a few takes until what you see. Pretty amazing.
//Andy
Breaking strings are easy just do a stupid inverse dive bomb😂
Nita did good! That was a lot of notes to memorize...
Not a fair fight
Sorry, that was very muddy and messy
Awaiting your version, Gordon!
//Andy
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses What a desperate white knight Andy is replaying to every negative comment. :D
Is it a who has the smoothest fanny vs?
pretty close, damn good try

Hi William, Coop is not banned from the channel at all. I would love to see him here and if we can make it happen, we will!

Jhh
Nina just got friendzoned.
Shes so cute
she tried... john petrucci didnt haha
This was strange....
😍She is so gorgeous, moreover she played it very similar. I ❤ her.
Nita good work you rock girl. And i not like dat weow fing okej.
Nita you did a good job copying the worst lick in the history of guitar playing love ya.
Gus is too much for nita

Earl Brackett Gus has a signature guitar with ESP and had a long standing gig with Ozzy Osbourne. Not sure what point you were trying to make.
Dougie Manross word.
MkSkorpion 23 got that right \m/
don t really care for her at all, gus g wails though -rather listen and see ritchie girlfriend , Orianthi -she is way better and hotter than this wanna be !!!!!
Well that's not very nice, James!
//Andy
She's got the looks, but she definitely does not have the blues... Being a beauty does not make you a good player
Failed! At least she got the japanese riff right
she forgot to break the string
Of course we all can do better.
I didn't say i can hehe gus g set the bar too high
Anyone fancy a challenge with a prize???
