Arielle is one of my newest favorites. Great voice, great songs, AND great guitar playing. It's refreshing to see a young artist like this who knows her guitar stuff on a truly geeky level. There have been a few rig rundowns where the artists don't have any idea what their gear does or why, which is kind of hard to watch. This rundown is a total pleasure. With mentors like Eric Johnson (who she toured with) and Brian May (who, along with being a friend and confidant, is producing her guitars through his BMG company), she is in great company and has definitely earned her place within it.
Why? Don't we just need more _good_ guitar nerds-- no matter their gender?? What exactly is helped in the world by having more female guitar nerds? Especially since you're going to have to *force* many to become guitar nerds against their will since, given absolutely free choice and an abundance of guitars, the vast majority of women will choose to do other things with life besides play them. But since you, a man, have decreed that we need more of them (for some unknown reason), I guess we'll just have to force them?
I'm not only impressed on how well she plays but how knowledgeable she is on the engineering on the guitar making process and all the in's and outs of them. I've had the chance to play Two-Tone and it is an absolutely amazing guitar and I can't wait for these to come out because I am getting one for sure.
Had the pleasure of seeing Arielle live...opened for Eric Johnson and closed out the show in a duet with him...we were at a general admission show and found seats in the first row! An amazing talent, fantastic show and of course I bought her CD and she was happy to sign it...very cool! 😎🎸
All I needed was the first glance of that guitar and I new it was gonna be a good episode. Anyone who has a guitar with Brian May Tri Sonic pickups is good in my book.
What a great Rig Rundown. Arielle is a very knowledgeable upbeat intelligent person with a wonderful personality. No wonder she gets guitars and pedals given to her because she is so genuine and fun to be around. Keep that T.C. Electronics pedal that Eric gave you, they are a great pedal and you just really can’t beat them for what they do. I love the bell bottoms too, cool style, they remind me of Eric Clapton’s Bell Bottom Blues song. Best of luck on your career. I love your personality. Shine on Arielle. 👍🎸👏🙏✌️😎
It's great to see things really taking off for you Arielle. I am so excited about the waves you're making which will, if there's ANY justice at all, bring you the recognition you rightly deserve. See you soon when you're over here in U.K.
Saw Arielle at Jammin' Java in Vienna, Virginia a couple months ago. She was awesome. Songwriting skills and guitar playing are exceptional. And after the show at the merch table, so friendly too.
ya gotta respect someone that knows what they want in a guitar and goes about making it happen brian may andy summers both great inspirations , guitar players and particular guitar tones . yep great episode
Arielle is a truly unique musician. All playing, no posing. And if you haven't heard her sing, she's great at that too. It's just a matter of time before her career takes off. Catch her while you can.
I think my favorite way to discover new music is by watching your rig rundown videos! I have sadly never heard of Arielle before but I will definitely be checking out her tunes! Thank you for a wonderful video of this wonderful guitarist - huge thumbs up! Oh and yeah, kudos to her for building her own guitar - that totally rocks!
I'm at a loss . I never heard of her . E.J. gave her a guitar . A guitar shop owner gave her a guitar . We would go for a cup of coffee , she would end up taking my P.A. , and I would be thankin' her .
@@IETCHX69 I've been watching her videos for a while now and she's actually quite talented. She has an original style that I see in few female lead guitarist. But yeah, beware... One look at her puppy dog eyes and you're giving away your gear.
I had a dream I was in a translucent salt barn like on the side of a thruway. I was shoveling salt into a tiny bucket talking with Muddy Waters and another blues guy I forgot. We were talking about Jimi Hendrix and a limo rolls in the barn. Muddy says it is jimi and only a guitar comes out. It is a white gretsch. The finish looked like salt with a little pepper. We noticed a square gold emblem on the headstock. It said something on it but I couldn't remember. Muddy commented on how expensive it must have been (then I woke up). The closest thing I think jimi played was a Gretsch anniversary with the emblem on the headstock. I did end up getting a Custom Shop Gibson Non-Reverse Firebird w/ 3 minis in TV white finish (salt with a dash of pepper). That's another story.
I searched her on TH-cam and the first one was her Guitar Center finalist in 2016 with Vince Gill. She should have won that contest because her Jeff Beck-ish solo in Gill’s song was so much better than the slide guy.
speaking of cool tones, just recently picked up a Sansamp Geddly Lee 2112 pre amp. very cool. has a dual signal path for upper grit and super low deep subs. Lots of DI XLR outs, a tuner out, a mono out great for a stage rig. very cool n portable . check one out if ya get a chance.
Saw her open for Eric Johnson last year. She's a great player, but she played a lot with backing tracks which I find off putting. Her acoustic stuff was good and she jammed with EJ at the end of the show and that was awesome.
Terrific singer and guitarist, both. Cuter than a bug’s ear, and she likes the greatest era of music ever, the late 60s thru the early 70s… what’s not to love?
but as much as i dig her electric , everything i dont get all the gear she needs to play a d28 ,granted its a live rig, but ive always believed less is more in acoustic tone but shes amazing, period
Eric is musician's musician, and like so many other amazing players (Brian May, Pete Townsend, and Vince Gill among them), know talent when they hear it.
Her chord voicings and sound at first are a lot like Eric Johnson. Her lead playing is cool too. I don't think I've ever heard of her. What style of music does she play? Sorry, but some of us are clueless which is why I suggest playing some recorded music that represents the artist BEFORE the rig rundown. Love the mag and love the rig rundowns, but some tweaks here and there would be nice. Thanks!
Arielle went on tour with EJ 2018 and just finished a US tour in 2019 and did a couple legs in UK this year too. She has several albums and EP's to her credit in circulation. I think one of my favs is actually the "My Gypsy Heart" six song EP. here is her link for more info imarielle.com/
As well as being a great talent, this girl could make a fortune from producing guitars alone. So good to see a really unique instrument instead of ripping off Fender again.
She is way more interesting than any male guitarist I have seen on Rig Rundown. Makes Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein look like the idiot that he is. Very classy chick.
It's not a copy and at least she is creative and has something different... i'm sure you are just that booring guy that gets a Strat, Les Paul or Tele and just changes the color..... Steve Vai once said every guitar is beautiful...
@@schissgring I’m sure you’re just one of those ‘guys’ who can’t stand it when people don’t like the things you like. I really don’t care what Steve Vai said. His opinions, like his music, are equally turgid.
@@strontiumdog3344 i didnt't say i like it, you just assumed that. Steve is just open to everything not just an asshole that talks designs by others down....

Love these ones where the actual artist knows their stuff and even demos it for us.
This is the first time, for my sins, I have come across Arielle. What a wonderful individual and player - superb!

The world needs more female guitar nerds. Gr8 episode this one! Heading over to Spotify to check Arielles stuff out now.
Right on!
Yep! She totally knows deeply about her gear (far more than a lot of guitarists)... Awesome and very knowledgeable!
Did you just assume a gender?! lol
timbulb Should I be sorry to complement someone and “assume” that a woman suppose to be “she”? That is not a gender assumption, it’s grammar...
Why? Don't we just need more _good_ guitar nerds-- no matter their gender??

I would buy her guitar if it could stay under 2G's . I also like *FLASHY* crazy colors .
What a great Rig Rundown. Arielle is a very knowledgeable upbeat intelligent person with a wonderful personality.

See you soon when you're over here in U.K.
The clean intro was beautiful.
This girl is awesome ,so knowledgeable and can talk shop.Checking her out on Spotify later
Saw Arielle at Jammin' Java in Vienna, Virginia a couple months ago. She was awesome. Songwriting skills and guitar playing are exceptional. And after the show at the merch table, so friendly too.
Great rundown! I love listening to musicians who appreciate gear talk and play through their setups.
Arielle seems like such a cool person so I signed up to be a Patreon and help support this amazing artist.
4:31 true guitar nerd ;) - running silent scales while chatting
She's a total boss... Love that she's absolutely on top of her gear. And her own guitars too... Super impressive.
Very Cool !! I am looking forward to your guitar line coming out next year.
ya gotta respect someone that knows what they want in a guitar and goes about making it happen brian may andy summers both great inspirations , guitar players and particular guitar tones . yep great episode
Arielle is a truly unique musician. All playing, no posing. And if you haven't heard her sing, she's great at that too. It's just a matter of time before her career takes off. Catch her while you can.
Damn that second guitar is frigging stunning. That 'coffee burst' two tone look is phenomenal.
The 2 chords she played on 'Arrow' sounded wonderful. I could live for years on that sound.
I think my favorite way to discover new music is by watching your rig rundown videos! I have sadly never heard of Arielle before but I will definitely be checking out her tunes! Thank you for a wonderful video of this wonderful guitarist - huge thumbs up!
Oh and yeah, kudos to her for building her own guitar - that totally rocks!
She knew John would come out with the tight pants and had to bust out the bell bottoms. The perfect yin to his yang.
Too bad he’s cutting off the circulation to his yang
@@dezionlion its given him David Lynch hair
Yessss... finally! Awesome Rig Rundown... totally enjoyed it... Thumbs up all around... 😎
Great Rig Rundown. Awesome tones!
What a great rundown. It was so great to discover what helps Arielle create her own unique sound:-)
This is just an exceptional artist and personality.
Awesome rundown, one of my favourites yet. Hadn't heard of Arielle but will be checking her out
Eric Johnson gave me a guitar too. (then I woke up)
I'm at a loss . I never heard of her . E.J. gave her a guitar . A guitar shop owner gave her a guitar . We would go for a cup of coffee , she would end up taking my P.A. , and I would be thankin' her .

I think she’s dating EJ.

pro trick: watch movies at flixzone. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.
awesome! love the tones!
Thanks for this, Arielle's new album is fantastic.
This and the Ben Harper rundown are my favorite so far!
I love John. Such a nice, laydback guy.
Okay, I am in love......with that Fender
Came for the guitar, stayed for the video
This is what living and breathing music is people.......fuckin cool
This girl is amazing!
Thank you.
I searched her on TH-cam and the first one was her Guitar Center finalist in 2016 with Vince Gill. She should have won that contest because her Jeff Beck-ish solo in Gill’s song was so much better than the slide guy.
Loved it
Great rig run down Arielle! One must admire your attention to detail. Super sounds!
She's awesome!
I love that tobacco burst finish. I want one now.
Some of my favorite guitar tones ever! Somehow she always manages to sound huge without having to crank the amps to oblivion!
speaking of cool tones, just recently picked up a Sansamp Geddly Lee 2112 pre amp. very cool. has a dual signal path for upper grit and super low deep subs. Lots of DI XLR outs, a tuner out, a mono out great for a stage rig. very cool n portable . check one out if ya get a chance.
Wow.. what a tone..
Great player!
Nice video, thank you
She is damn cool. That was a great 26 minutes. I am off to search her stuff.
ps - To you kids watching, her jeans were known as "elephant bells" back in the day. They were a bit goofy back then too, but what do I know.
She is frankly a caricature of a character.
Bravo.
No tech, but travels with 5 guitars, 2 tube amps and a huge pedalboard. Knock on wood!
I think she can handle it, boss. Due to the fact that she is. But she did downsize her pedalboard DRAMATICALLY.
see you in southampton on the 6th Arielle!
You need to do a rig rundown of joyous wolf when they come to Nashville next!! Also you should do an update rig rundown of zac brown band
I think she is great.
those Juncos are sick yo
Yay!!
Saw her open for Eric Johnson last year. She's a great player, but she played a lot with backing tracks which I find off putting. Her acoustic stuff was good and she jammed with EJ at the end of the show and that was awesome.
Buckethead plays with backing tracks also, and the public hath spoken - he's worth about a quarter of what Courtney Love is
Dig It!
In the late 80s and early 90s, burnt made a ES339.
Terrific singer and guitarist, both. Cuter than a bug’s ear, and she likes the greatest era of music ever, the late 60s thru the early 70s… what’s not to love?
Young girl wearing bell bottoms and old man wearing skinny jeans.
but as much as i dig her electric , everything i dont get all the gear she needs to play a d28 ,granted its a live rig, but ive always believed less is more in acoustic tone but shes amazing, period
My dream girl
What?? Eric Johnson gave her a guitar?? Wow.......so cool.
They toured together a lot.
Cool video. I had not heard of her before, but I'll definitely be checking out her music.
What's her connection to Eric Johnson?
Eric is musician's musician, and like so many other amazing players (Brian May, Pete Townsend, and Vince Gill among them), know talent when they hear it.
why is john wearing leotard pants......
Her chord voicings and sound at first are a lot like Eric Johnson. Her lead playing is cool too. I don't think I've ever heard of her. What style of music does she play? Sorry, but some of us are clueless which is why I suggest playing some recorded music that represents the artist BEFORE the rig rundown. Love the mag and love the rig rundowns, but some tweaks here and there would be nice. Thanks!
She has lots of stuff on TH-cam, so check out her songs. She covers many genres of music, is a *huge* Queen fan, and has opened for Eric Johnson.
EJ here playing on one of her EP tracks. There is a connection there. th-cam.com/video/U4oIIamLDLM/w-d-xo.html
Arielle went on tour with EJ 2018 and just finished a US tour in 2019 and did a couple legs in UK this year too. She has several albums and EP's to her credit in circulation. I think one of my favs is actually the "My Gypsy Heart" six song EP. here is her link for more info imarielle.com/
Thanks for the info on her.
Did they trade pants?
how tall is this woman?
This is awesome. Some creeps down female guitarists .for me it's more people to get inspired by
As well as being a great talent, this girl could make a fortune from producing guitars alone. So good to see a really unique instrument instead of ripping off Fender again.
I get the feeling she's a Brian May fan.
I read the title of this video in the voice of Sebastian from The Little Mermaid.
No socks and tight jeans, nice look, John.....real nice!
Fonzy Brookestone Creepily checking out the host's outfit, nice Fonzy... real nice!
Brian May also plays with a coin and that will change your tone drastically.
I build my own electric peyote drums
👏👍🤘✌🏻🤙👊🙏
Sorry havin trouble getting past the skinny jeans/ bell bottoms contrast,it’s freaking me out! Lol
Impressive. She really knows her stuff and plays even better.
I wonder if EJ ever hit that ?
She is way more interesting than any male guitarist I have seen on Rig Rundown. Makes Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein look like the idiot that he is. Very classy chick.
Either Arielle is really short or Johns really tall.
both
Time to get my bandsaw out . Oh no another guitar.
I apologize Devin North
What a cute girl. She’s so little :)
I've just found my next ex-wife!
Looks like more fiddling than it's worth. Sorry. Not for me. Maybe someone else.
a sexual names and she lost me.....
She didn't need you anyway
If Teisco made a Thunderbird copy.....it would still be better looking than this. What a complete mess.
It's not a copy and at least she is creative and has something different... i'm sure you are just that booring guy that gets a Strat, Les Paul or Tele and just changes the color..... Steve Vai once said every guitar is beautiful...

🤓
Two Tone? So three colors are two tone now? Asexual names? #Millennials
It has two Tone knobs :)
Ok thats funny
no not that kind of tone smh
