    We're talking about Gus G, the guy is a machine.

    I can do the string breaking part.

    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???

    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."

    • @chrisking6695
      @chrisking6695 3 роки тому +1

      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.

    • @nogoogleplus
      @nogoogleplus 3 роки тому

      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

    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.

    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.
