    I have no idea how/why this showed up today but I am so happy that it did!
    Her music has the ability to sound new and known at the same time.
    A long time ago (mid ‘80s) I saw Steve Morse play an all acoustic set (he opened for Eric Johnson) - her playing reminds me of that night.

    Excellent playing, such hopeful and effusive melodies. I love the use of harmonics and alternative playing too. Such sweetness to the progressions.

    Just when I think I understand what she's doing, she throws in some little tweak or unexpected melodic turn that I didn't see coming. Some of the loveliest guitar I've heard in a while!

    I have been so depressed lately, but when I finished watching this, I felt like I was given a gift. For 23:14 I forgot that life was hard, and finally had a chance to stop and breathe. Whether is was her music, or her beauty, I don't know, but I am truly grateful. Thanks to everyone that put this together. Amazing perfomance.

    I have never seen anyone play a guitar flat on their lap, use wild tools, and to have the ability to be so quick and so precise! Seriously blown away watching this! I’ve heard a few song of her’s on sleep playlist, but watching her is spectacular! Thank you, Yasmine!
