- Nita Strauss Guitar Lesson - A lesson in improvisation in the key of 'A' major. The breakdown of the lick allows different approaches and voicing of playing the first 8 notes of the 'A' major scale; one is two notes per string and one is three. Nita showcases an interpretation of the scale from a traditional perspective to a more "shred" approach.

for the novice lead guitarist...or any for that matter.. this is a superbly simple clever and effective lesson. only an accomplished player could present. x
Nita is a great inspiration♡love her! so awesome.
A little confused on why you people think she's bad at guitar...?
As an aspiring female guitarist, you, Nita Strauss are among my top idols, period. :D Thanks for the great tips.
+Laila Schulz She's a great guitarist. Period. Just remember this is the UA-cam comment section where idiots and haters are also free to write whatever stupid shit they want.
anyone who says she isnt any good should tell us all when THEY played guitar for alice cooper..lol
Laila Schulz she is awesome !
This is a beginner lesson - she says that herself. However, some of the things she says (which might be the kind of thing a lot of people would hear and agree with but not consider deeply - perhaps pass off as spiel guitarists say to sound with it) are pretty important. The more you learn the more this becomes apparent. An example is the comment about hearing notes in context. This is key when it comes to pushing the boundaries of the harmonies you're using to improvise with and you're wanting to create different tensions using different intervals.
Good lesson, thank you for your time lady
So perfect.
you are great Nita
Finally something that helped me. so simple
im in love!!
going to learn alot from this girl, thanks for the stretching advice from previous interview. No body told me that either, and I just like to play for fun, female on this end, twice your age and love your technique. Hope to be a good as you are someday.
Good stuff!
thanks nita 😙
Everybody should take that advice, awsome.
i love ibanez & Blackstar.. and i love Nita...
Nitas skin tone is very pretty. Shes such a professional, always nice, even when tired. Just a great person that id vote into music hall fame". Shes only within 2 guitarests ive ever seen live that has same thorough results within stage mobility/all over the stage, as well as stationary. Nita, also KK-downing. both very active/mobile without losing there precision thoroughness. Alot of work /practice time to achive this very rare trait. Nita i can tell is a worker, also devoted to her music.
Nita you rock girl😎
Such a shredder but what a nice person!
Amazing guitar player! Yeah for Girl Power that really rocks!
Awesome!!!!
Nice short lesson!
This is a basic lesson and very well done. She is right; if you practice this scale repeatedly you will understand how it fits into a song and where you can improvise.
Nita... great guitar player! Cool chick too!
Lindíssima e talentosa!
Why didn't my music teacher look like her?
+max rav I keep asking myself this same question hahahaha
this was helpful - cheers for sharing this video -
big thumbs up from me
Video lesson cool:)
Great guitarist, girl and musician !
Here in Bogota, Colombia so soon :D
Super Bravo pour tes leçons, et merci ! tu joues super bien et tu as tout compris que la beauté est de rester soi même sans s' enlaidir définitivement avec des tatouages !! tu as tout compris, et tous les "autres" le regretterons plus tard ...!
Nita rocks! She's hot and she shreds!
Alice Cooper has good taste and music knowledge.
A Major F# C# G#.
Basic Triad A C# E.Relative minor scale = F#minor(F# A C#). Frequently a musical piece will change into relative chords, and chords of other degrees of the scale, including Dominant 5th = E major = E G# B, or 3rd is mediant= C# major =C# F G#.4th degree chords (subdominant)= D F# A and others chords of interest.and one day soon I'll work out the guitar board.
she's my dream woman...
Mine too
THERE SHALL BE ONLY ONE!!!!
A fight to the death? EN-GUARD!
Her boyfriend would pummel you. Just sayin. He's not a small man.
Great woman. I met her in Alpharetta Saturday.
She helps increase my tumescence.
thanks.
Nita: Thanks for the info. As a beginner I wish you would have does the finger positions slower so I could see which finger was where. Also, could the camera guy show your fingers more closely? Its good info, but damn that was fast.
I had a great night last night,thanks for asking.
Going to see her for a guitar clinic in a couple weeks, fuck yeah
Nita Strauss 😍 God I love her
Nita ROCKS!!!

🇦🇴🇦🇴🇦🇸🆕
I was at the concert yesterday when she played with Alice Cooper
She is a guitar god
goddess xD but yeah, she's awesome
Such a Goddess! She's gonna be responsible for unleashing many more precious females onto the guitar world. All is right with this picture.
If you actually follow the lesson she's given you, it'll improve your playing lots because it requires you to make those long stretches and navigate the fretboard different.
At least, I did.
What she left out is ...your thumb position. When you play the blues type licks, it's thumb above the center of the neck. When playing classical types licks, it's thumb to the around of the center of the neck....
dont forget the metronome...
@@oakenshanks yes very important
Check out Chelsea Constable..
She can play really well no doubt, however I also agree with those saying this video is nothing particular.
It's a lesson for beginners. You were expecting shredding?
nita! first 7 notes you mean! not 8! last is root unless you mean the octave is a descriptive pitch considering it as a new note in written music notation and not tone. Not trying to be a troll...I love her btw. Not ever trying to put her down. She plays a hell of a lot better than me.
im gonna improvise on you nita using the xxx major scale that leads to the Gspot major i will make you scream with lots of sustain
Nita is an incredibly talented guitarist. I hope more people realize that. She's also extremely hot! She makes me drool! She's absolutely gorgeous! But I also think her guitar skills are great. I'm sure there's a lot of guys who play guitar that won't acknowledge her as being as great as she is and that's because they can't stand the fact that a girl guitarist kicks their ass! Well all I can say to that is "DEAL WITH IT! ". She wouldn't be where she is now if she wasn't great. Rock on Nita!
Thanx Captain Obvious
She's an excellent professional musician, articulate, lovely and HOT! Anyone who finds this combination a problem, has deep issues. Insecure, nasty losers. Who would complain about a great looking girl giving a free guitar lesson, much less call her horrible names? Misogynists with no game. Thankfully, the overwhelming majority of comments are positive.
She certainly doesn't lose sleep over the negative comments. She is playing on stage with famous people, I am sure the negatives are probably playing in a garage somewhere. :)
That's all great, but can that guitar Surf?
Fucking marry me. We'll play guitar every day and night.
Rob halford for one is and maybe many more she is wonderful a dream wife and I love maiden
Watch the lense, not the screen beside !
I AM IN LOVE!!!!
II think this girl inspired me to take out my guitar. I love guitars. I can't answer why I don't play mine more. I also have a real bitchin bass.
she is so pretty ..
To every one hating on this girl. First of all you're being sexist. Second, her guitar sounds like it has good tone. You can put whatever effect you want on a guitar but it won't hide setup problems. I set my guitars intonation way out of wack and even with a completely overloaded Line6 amp it still sounded like the intonation was off(I tried it clean too, just incase you thought the amp was the problem). Plus, even if the guitar sounds like crap, that has absolutely nothing to do with how well some one can teach guitar.
nita A+ scale 😀
Good one!
:35

HOT
Question to all (Blokes mainly)If she looked like Susan Boyle would her videos still be as popular?..Be honest..
obviously 'cause she's a kickass talented guitar player
if susan boyle could shred like that...hell ya...
Mute Button On: Ha--never hit it! This actually isn't a half bad instructional lesson, and, hey, you *could* apply this concept to something other than crappy metal/shred playing...but the real bonus is hearing Nita's girl-next-door voice. She'd be one heluva a guitar teacher to have, that's for sure. Hey Nita, can you show us how to use Lydian dominant over some real changes?! Rating: One and a half boobs
:035
Alice Cooper just made more $! I don't even like Alice Cooper, but I'm going to Charlotte this summer just to see her play! She is beautiful but that fact that she can make a guitar talk just makes her 1000 times more hotter!
You had me at "hi". I'd marry you and ask Alice Cooper to be my best man.
I was about to slam her but I did notice she can alternate pick fairly well so I will hold my tongue.
I'll be the first to admit, I'm learning the guitar but there is no way I could take lessons from her. I wouldn't learn nor could I pay attention to shit! Compliment to her.......
anyone else not paying attention to her hands?
Well Nita, you could sit there motionless for 3 hours. I'd be watching. Beside, your playing skills let me wish you move your hands on those strings rather then elsewhere :-) Keep on.
Why all the dislikes.. ...oh wait let me guess... jealous people..
Awwwww you're cute... :)
mmmm so hott
how on earth i never know her.. damit shes wicked n hot.
It was plain!
i love you but that wasn't an improvisation
lets see you play
VinylFreak5150 don't be fallacious, i'm saying that this is just a lesson not an improvisation...
It actually was at the end. You can't expect a beginner musician to improv like a seasoned jazz artist out of the gate. Learning your scales and the other fundamentals is necessary to get to the advanced level, and this video serves it's purpose for educating beginners.
I think she needs more eye makeup, haha
marry me
Wtf
why don't u look at the camera u look at something
Can I have your baby?
is she married?... cause i would just...just... you know,... be friends with her so much :)
Why can’t these gurus tell you the name of the notes they are playing 🙄
Lol 'Improvising in A major'.
With one position of the tonic scale.
That's a good way to give people the impression you have no idea about how music works.
Well he or she certainly got the name right. Most would never understand the negative comment.
She should be cloned..
No teacher should ever teach using distortion or any effect. This only shows that she hiding behind her tone to show her lack of intonation. This is just a shame that she thinks she has the qualification to teach when she is only doing the viewer a dis service.
I think she can handle playing an A major scale. Paul Gilbert shows demonstrations with distortion as well, is he also hiding behind his tone? I think you resent attractive woman because you could never get laid even with your amazing guitar prowess. This is obviously a lesson for beginners. She's not demonstrating advanced techniques or concepts so how is she doing any kind of disservice? The information she is giving would be helpful to a beginner who is trying to learn to solo in key. Like I said the most common reason people bash beautiful woman is because they could never get one to agree to fuck them.
Well she's probably a metal head and her videos are probably intended for other people who wanna be playing metal or hard rock, these people LOVE LOTS of gain so it's fairly apropos.
Metal and shred ain't my bag either, but why slag her off? She obviously has chops and skill.
And to the guy who mentioned Jack White... look, I love me some JW as much as the next guy, but I wouldn't exactly call him 'god's gift to guitar' lol. He's good for a songwriter type, I'll leave it at.
***** Word. I can dig it my brother.
ThePvtMarcel "...hiding behind her tone to show her lack of intonation." Dude- you have no clue what you're even talking about. That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Absolutely senseless video.
you sir are a douche bag... loser.
Argh...damn!. She would make the perfect girlfriend!! She's pretty, articulate and plays a wicked guitar! Imagine waking up to that!! Ooofta to good!!
She's super nice too, trust me ;)
