Realizing that the alternative tuning was done so that the open bass strings formed a major chord while the highest three strings stayed the same for melodies was a very interesting light bulb moment for me.
@@johntan5124 standard tuning sounds kinda bad on its own and almost nobody makes use of that em11 voicing in their music. Maj9#11 on the other hand sounds heavenly
Yvette is an awesome teacher! the way she breaks things down and explains them is super simple and awesome instead of going into the technicalities of the parts!
She really is! I think I remember her saying she did some actual guitar teaching to make money before Covet became a full time thing, though I might have my wires crossed.
@@usuallyclueless4477 I’d believe it, she seems lovely all round. By the by, apparently Bill Steer of Carcass works (I think as a music therapist) with special needs people as well.
Great video. I only have one arm, and thanks to open tuning, I can play electric guitar completely on the neck with a combination of tapping and strumming. I prefer Open D (DADF#AD) because I can do crunchy power chords and tap out triads and single note solos in the same song, which is great for learning AC/DC and old David Bowie tunes. I can also do more lovely melodic stuff similar to what Yvette does (though nowhere near as good), except I use a looper pedal. Open D minor (DADFAD) is also a fun one to experiment with.
What I appreciate is that she was able to 1. find her voice, 2. present it to the world 3. be appreciated. Sooo many great guitarists coming online now.
man, shes so smart. So much of her intro - explaining theory - was over my head. its so neat that there is this whole other world of expertise out there
Atreyu is such an incredible song, and it’s so awesome to see Yvette break it down like this. I’ll probably never be able to play it 😂 but trying will probably lead me to new ideas. Gonna go practice now!
I like that this is new - 2022 :) Her music is brilliant. I find myself binge listening. And the amazing thing about Covet compared to other bands, is I don't get tired of hearing even the same songs over and over again (which must be incredibly rare for any music). That is clearly [in my mind] because her composing ability/ musical ability/ sense/ intuition, and that of her band mates is so phenomenal.
Yvette you are not only a talented musician-artist-teacher but a beautiful human being with a smile that has nested in my heart. All the best to you, peace, love and music.
I don't know how to play any instruments but watching this was awesome. Watching how much fun she has while playing is awesome, and the sound is so beautiful.
This was really neat. I literally JUST got my first little electric guitar (I'm a long-time pianist and moderate-time harpist), and I think I can spend my whole life in tapping. I really need to study it; it looks transportingly wonderful.
Excellent Tutorial . Very simple and effective technique that she demonstrated and explained perfectly. Thank you Yvette. I especially like the "tap-slide" effect.
I'm fascinated by your music, and this video is amazing in a few ways. I'm not good at technical playing or accuracy, but chunking this up makes that feel a lot less intimidating. I think you're a great teacher in that you take a pretty low-key approach to being meticulous without being obsessive. Or maybe it's "being meticulous and obsessive but in a relaxed and approachable way". But not only that, hearing you describe the chunking process and stepping through it also makes listening to your playing more accessible and easier to understand. Hearing you describe how you approach it makes your style even more fascinating.
I've been playing nearly 40 years and, for the first few years, I wasn't a fan of tapping. Every player seemed to do the same thing and I found it boring and uncreative. Reb Beach changed my mind with his innovative playing and now players like Tim Henson and Yvette are carrying that torch. Gorgeous playing.
@@usuallyclueless4477 I know this is a super old comment now, but I'm digging it back up just to shout out that she has a Masterclass on Pickup Music that I took a couple months ago, and she was great.
@@joshoptical - Yep, I sometimes hear an element of Classical music influence; The composition style combining ascending/ descending Baroque point/ counterpoint which is common in many Classical compositions and instruments, like Violin and Piano. Some of it is pretty complex.
I really like tapping with heavy strings, it gives a lot less so it actually helps you get into the habit of hitting hard without stiffening your hand. You will have to adjust your guitar and get the action low, but it allows you to pick much harder and tap with less noise from the other strings (at least from my experience).
God Yvette is not only an incredibly talented player but a good teacher too! I just sat down with this video for about an hour and while I can't play it close to full speed I did manage to learn the whole song and when I started the video I thought "no way will I be able to do this".
This is excellent! What a great lesson. I still think my fingers are too pudgy to do this technique justice, but I'm certainly giving it another go after watching this. ✌🏾🤟🏾
such a great video, thank you very much for the lesson. i have a large skill gap before i can really apply all of it, but just getting to hear and see some of your process was amazing as well as inspiring.
Wow, so beautiful! I don’t know who she is but I am definitely going to check her and her band out. I don’t play guitar but I do love music. And, this was amazing.
i use 11-52 gauge. and my action is kinda low but strings are fairly tight, in standard E tuning, pickups i think can play a role too, my bridge is raised high with only 4k output. tapping isnt really feasible on that one, but my other guitar thats a shredder is pretty much all set up for taps.
"classically trained" No. She had 2 parents who are accordionists, took piano lessons very early and some violin. Almost all pianists learn from classical music but in no way she was "trained", she just took lessons like most people but switched to guitar.
@@AlexandrBorschchev so Yvette is just like most people? Can most people play a lick from Mozart or Beethoven? She can play classical music but it depressed her, because she did not have freedom and she had to play the music the same as the masters have wrote them.. she opted for freedom so she quit, at least she's happy now
@@pihermoso11 Classically trained is not synonymous with classical music, technically you can do one without ever having done the other. I agree piano experience, for multiple reasons, is of tremendous value when playing guitar. You can tell by the way she talks about approaching the piece, she is classically trained.
Thank you, Yvette! That was VERY informative and helpful! When i first heard you play, i thought, "No way i could ever do that!" But, after your explanation, i can see that, even though i have a ways to go... It IS doable. 🤪 So, again, thanks! (BTW, you're so cute, lol)! I LOVE your music!
Between the Buried and Me did some cool shit like this. Just remember you have to build calluses to you picking fingers as well so it does take time to master this technique
Sweetwater been going crazy with all these videos lately. Yvette lesson, Matt Halpern drum playthrough? I decided to pick up my first 7 string, and could've bought the model through any number of retailers, but Sweetwater always seems like it's made up of a bunch of considerate and passionate people. They even called me to make sure I got my guitar alright and to make sure I didn't have any questions. Contrast that to Zzounds, who was the last retailer I bought from, and the guitar they send me had a GIANT scratch on the back of the gloss neck. Guess their inspection was maybe a point or two short of a 55 point inspection.
Yvette Young shows us how to unlock a whole universe of creative possibilities with finger tapping and alternate tunings 🤯
Realizing that the alternative tuning was done so that the open bass strings formed a major chord while the highest three strings stayed the same for melodies was a very interesting light bulb moment for me.
And the capo transposed the drone chord to G major.
The entire tuning is an open major 9 #11 chord, so you can probably do some cool slide stuff too.
@@martianmurray And standard tuning is EM11, so what's your point?
@@johntan5124 bruh

Over time, Yvette is going to go down as one of the greats. Such a good person too.
For real, she's one of the best players out there right now, and she doesn't get the credit she deserves
So true. She is a fantastic player, but beyond that she is a great teacher!
Yvette is an awesome teacher! the way she breaks things down and explains them is super simple and awesome instead of going into the technicalities of the parts!

It makes me happy to hear you found a way to share in the joys of guitar.
Post a video you'll get famous
Wow that's some feat worth sharing

wow, and here I am missing half a finger! proud of you
What I appreciate is that she was able to 1. find her voice, 2. present it to the world 3. be appreciated. Sooo many great guitarists coming online now.
This is how a piano player approaches guitar. Wonderful stuff.
As a keyboardist who’s learning guitar finger tapping is important to learn for me. Two hands is just normal for me.
Same
Yvette Young is a treasure to this earth!!!!! So fun and full of awesomeness!!!!
man, shes so smart. So much of her intro - explaining theory - was over my head. its so neat that there is this whole other world of expertise out there
Her explanation is so straightforward. Very good
The GOAT! Just saw her in Tucson!
Tory Slusher is the GOAT.
Yvette is such a musical inspiration and I dig that new Talman.
I love her playing so much. So elegant.
Atreyu is such an incredible song, and it’s so awesome to see Yvette break it down like this. I’ll probably never be able to play it 😂 but trying will probably lead me to new ideas. Gonna go practice now!
Amazing instruction amazing player amazing human, her music is so effortlessly entrancing and beautiful
This kind of educational Math rock fingerstyle/tapping i always looking for!

So Beautiful to hear and see!!

Even in acoustic guitar Yvette playing and singing is beautiful. Her heart speaks every note she plays. Now That's truly amazing
I could listen to her talk about literally anything for literally ever
Yvette, you are amazing. A mesmerising technique. Thank you for the lesson and the music.
Guitar is a beautiful instrument, she takes it even further, and communicates it very well. ✌️😊😊
Literally inspired me to start thinking about music in a different way
Yevette is way more then awesome. Thanks for sharing this.

what is more impressive is that there is not even one negative comment, incredible!
Your Melody is amazing. I'll try to practice. Thank you for this voice. I am from Thailand and will always follow you.
I love how mellow the right hand works compared to the left, awesome. Great tutorial :) Thank you!

Reb Beach and Kip Winger have always had my respect.
You should definitely check out Sammy Boller!
Check out Sarah Longfield too, she's known for tapping
40 years. Have you heard of Akira Takasaki from Loudness?
@@usuallyclueless4477 I know this is a super old comment now, but I'm digging it back up just to shout out that she has a Masterclass on Pickup Music that I took a couple months ago, and she was great.
That is really clean playing, especially considering she does not have a string dampener like typical 2-handed tappers
She’s not using any gain so she wants the over tones to ring together.
Her piano background puts her in a league of her own in the musicality of her tapping
Her playing has a lot to do with the string Guage and height too. Thus the ability to play cleanly.
