@@AzathothsAlarmClock Oooooor, the boomer-Gen bands are actually busy because these days they have 4 kids and a wife running around on their tour bus.

Apparently someone's never been on a tour or been in that setting. Often times they have a million things to do.

I really love how excited she seems about guitar. She seems like she genuinely enjoys talking about this stuff as opposed to some other players on this series.
Brad Młodystach it's just nice to know that she's doing it out of a love for the music that's all. I'm not sure why my positive post is getting roasted geeze
@@ANTHONYFERNANDO Their lives probably suck so they gonna rip on people on the internet to make themselves feel better for some reason.. But Yeah you're right she's awesome and deff loves this stuff and that makes it so much more fun to watch.
@Dr JT Agreed. She came to Toronto back in 2015 for a clinic and was absolutely wonderful. She spent time and actually talked to everyone that was there instead of just signing stuff or taking a picture and moving on. I really hope she comes back for another clinic
I love that she was so adamant about her Signature guitar being . . . Exactly The Same, as the one she actually plays. Very passionate & personable. Gorgeous looking guitar too.
Wow... that was an awesome interview. She is SO personable and obviously LOVES her craft. You can tell she is the type that would stop and talk with anyone, anywhere about guitars. It would be nice to see how her patches are setup. Thanks for putting this together... ROCK ON!
@@ianbarcelos With Alice Cooper she has JVM 410 stacks and rackmount Rocktron processors. I wanted to point out that even with a Boss processor, not an AxeFx that most pros use, she's not picky and tone-snob and goes live with it!
@@wheresallthezombies Yes, but still you can make live shows with it while most guitarists consider it inferior to the more expensive cutting-edge modellers!
Played a gig this past year at the Local in Nashville and guess who hopped up on stage to play slide with the group right after mine?... John Bohlinger! Awesome dude, awesome player!
Dude he was the guitarist on my morning gig a few weeks ago and I was a bit star struck the whole time 😂😂😂 as we were setting up I finally was like "are you... The rig rundown guy" and he laughed and said "yea, I guess that's me!" very cool guy.
She’s really a very genuine person. I hit her on Instagram to let her know that l played her guitar and that l liked it and she actually responded 30 seconds later. If you haven’t played one check it out.
Fantastic player! Love how Nita uses a “mid priced” floorboard modeller on tour. Goes to show if you know what you’re doing, you don’t need the fanciest stuff to sound good
Chuck Garrick, the bassist in Alice Cooper goes on tour with an Epiphone Thuderbird bass. I guess they're a band who don't feel they need to look flash with super expensive gear. They buy gear to get the job done
@FalconerPhoto well we're not exactly drinking buddies but I have met her on two occasions and spent some time chatting with her, she does have a lot of time for her fans. I also met and played a song with Kerri Kelli, another of Cooper's guitarists when he came to my local bar, he was a nice chap too
Nita's attitude to 'Amp Modeling' is really refreshing. Just use what sounds good, it should always be that way. There should be no 'rules' on what sounds good.
Nita is notably knowledgeable as is her explosive enthusiasm as a person and musician. Pulsating creativity and the power of a battery of rocketry. Blow me away, as you do, Nita Strauss.
If you listen to a lot of rock music, you probably _have_ heard her play and don't know it. She doesn't just do the solo-band thing under her own name. She's played with dozens of the biggest names you know.
Sweet Guitar!_ Besides Her Great Playing! And Attention To Intentional Tone Detail ! She's Always Been Super Cool' and Just a Genuinely Really Nice Person! Blessings Always To You Miss Nita Strauss! 🎸🔊🎼🌈
I currently have an rga42fml model and eventually I would love to upgrade. I grew up playing right handed bass, now I’m starting from scratch because I’m actually left handed. Nita you rock!
she is very level headed. when i started playing live in clubs every one had 100 watt marshalls on stage in a damn bar. Big bar some times but not that big. I did that for a very small amount of time. my ears would ring for hrs after a gig. I sold that thing and bought a fender deluxe reverb and a rat pedal and that was it. the only effects I used was the rat pedal for big crunch and it has knobs to adjust the crunch. i had a boss CE-2 for chorus and never leaned on it heavily and I used an effectron ADM 56 for verb and bit of slap back. an mxr dyna comp for leads and a bit of sustain at low level. end of story. that was my rig for 20 years.
I have considered picking one up. I love the Ibanez S series - have owned 2 of them. And the specs on this one sound great. But it is SO over the top visually. Not even bad looking. Just a lot going on.
She certainly seems to be a great person and hasn’t got the Rock Star ego. Must be a real sweetheart. Just a lovely little lady with a huge and magnanimous personality. Stayed in tune after the whammy dives, nice!
13:50 others are doing the same. One guitar's selling point is both the speed knobs for volume but also a friction adjustable knob for tone controls- 99% of players will be grabbing the volume knob 1000x for every tone adjust, and most of those, are from, accidental, of course. Seems obvious add in hindsight, but still genius.
19:15 -- I like guitar players with that attitude towards tone. It sooooo doesn't matter if this or that modeling device sounds exactly like this or that amp or pedal. It get tedious when people get too obsessed over the accuracy of these models. They sound great. Just dial it in and play.
Indeed, she is a quite accomplished musician, has a nice personality, & is a beautiful young lady. Good for her. Also, she has figured out & uses a digital guitar processor emulator, which now-a-days is as good as a real amp & saves weight to save back surgeries. Hats off to Nita. Richard
@@zdave6083 I can see how that came off that way. I meant it as a compliment, but you are correct. I removed the last bit. At least I didn't say "beautiful and talented"! lol
I watched some demo videos of her signature guitar before, but this is the first time I remember hearing about the pots used; very cool! I hope I can catch her tour before it ends.
In my humble opinion (now that I have it in my hands) what sets this guitar apart from other superstrats are the pickups. Those Pandemoniums are incredible and working together with the True Velvet they make your mind explode. It's my first superstrat that has some of the Stratocaster sound with a thinner neck, comfortable and fast for those of us with small hands. The craftsmanship and attention to detail leave a lot to be desired in Indonesia. Although these are problems I have solved at home. But the materials are really high quality and those pickups are pure "Pata Negra", as we say in Spain. Cheers.
She is amazing ..... i knew about her before, but never watched interviews or anything. But she's well into it and this is possibly the best rundown iv'e ever seen.
Good to see another musician who cares enough to present the rig themselves rather than a tech...

+1 for Google Talks. Nita does one pretty much every year.
Shes just wonderful and great attitude

Haha 😂 brilliant

Great player, great gear and a great girl. So down to earth and practical. Thanks for the video.
She seems very genuine and enthusiastic about her gear -- very cool.
She seems like such a nice and genuine person. I think it's great that she is talking about her own gear. Her guitar is awesome.
So, she's doing live shows with a Boss GT-1000 straight to the P.A., no fancy AxeFx, Helix, Kemper or big tube stacks and she has a great tone! Bravo!
She always says that she's just a working musician, hired gun. So, no fancy shit.

I hit 'like' when I heard nita is the first female Ibanez signature artist.. thats the kind of thing that makes me smile....
Liked before even watching... she’s awesome.
Agreed! Nita, Jen Majura of Evanescence, and Sophie Burrell (th-cam.com/channels/qj9P9PYqcK2o8jtKAQlcEQ.html) are my favorite female guitarists.

Nita is terrific and I love Ibanez, so this is a no-brainer to try one out soon ...
john’s a great interviewer. never interrupts, nerds out with the artist, lets them talk
One of the best rig rundowns I've watched. Nita really seems awesome! And playing the actual signature model - no mods. Kuddos!!! \m/
This is one of the best rig rundown I’ve seen good energy, thank you, love Alice Cooper

This lady obviously knows her stuff, glad to see she's doing so well.
She did a Great Job on her Signature Guitar ! lots of Detail & its exactly what she plays.... Important...
Nita is most authentic and greatful performer today. Great job.
my very first guitar was a beautiful Ibanez! Wish I still had it today
That clean sound is unreal
Good to see another total guitar geek. She really knows her stuff.
Great thing about Nita- shes so talented, she earned her stripes and seems so appreciative of the position she now holds.
I’m not really into this type of music but what a wonderful human being this is. More power to you sister

Ibanez......... They caught another good ambassador for their company..... Nita is like a child talking about her toys... Such passion....
Those strings bouncing around at 15:13 and then comes right back in tune, so cool. Amazing guitarist! Great RR.
Yeah - Fender should Learn How to keep their Trem Systems in Tune !
I've never heard her play but she seems really nice and that's a real slick guitar - I like it sound great bravo!

What a cool rundown!
I'm going to have to check out her solo album.
Ugh love the clean bridge tone, so classic. Love love
Great skills , great personality, great person. Nita you're the inspiration !.
One of the most creative inlays I've seen. That would look better with a pink flame burst...ie heart and blood flowing...
Ibanez s series. I like playing flattened boxes too.
I dont know if she is married but whoever marries her is lucky because she is so sweet, very well spoken and knows he equipment inside and out.

I have the D'Addario Micro Tuner and it's amazing.
she should be proud of her signature guitar. my local guitar center couldnt keep one in stock for a good while after it released they sold so fast
It is a very nice signature model. Perfect and well thought out.
I have considered picking one up. I love the Ibanez S series - have owned 2 of them. And the specs on this one sound great. But it is SO over the top visually. Not even bad looking. Just a lot going on.

She sounds like a really nice person, you know people are not full of themselves when they sit on the floor to show you their fun stuff
Nita is coming to Savannah Georgia. So freaking stoked!!!!

Never heard of her before today. Big fan now. She's a 10 in every way.
She's in the Netflix documentary Hired Gun if you're curious about her. It's about tour musicians. She's Alice Cooper's guitarist.
What a personality-I would love to meet her. She kick ass as good as or better than any player today.
Just saw her with Alice Cooper in The Woodlands TX. Fantastic show.
I could listen to Hurricanita play or talk about anything - her enthusiasm is contagious
I'm an old hippie folk singer songwriter but man she makes me wanta play like that... she rocks!

That GT is incredible. If you don't have one... get one.
The cleans are freaking fabulous on this rig.
I’ve own a GT-100 the version before the GT-1000 and I’ve always found that I can get a good tone from it.

Just get an HD 500 by Line 6. Best Modeler on the market for the price. I prefer it over my Axe FX 2.
