I created a guide to help you set up your guitar for two-handed tapping, buy here: 5591ad.myshopify.com/products/how-to-setup-and-or-optimize-your-guitar-for-two-handed-tapping-the-complete-guide
This is amazing. How has TH-cam never recommended your channel to me? This is the most interesting and creative guitar playing I have seen on TH-cam. I heard some of your more straight-jazz videos (or a couple minutes of almost-straight jazz), and I thought it was very good and well played. But then i kept listening to your videos and your varied styles and interests, and now I just don’t even know what to call your music except just straight up ferocious creative musicality. Damn. Awesome.
Great comment; it's her varied interests and influences, open mind, and willingness to explore new things all the time that really makes her playing resonate with me; her references are are some of my favorites; from Coltrane to 20th century classical to Jazz rock fusion (as it was called in the early 70s), to Shakti and Zappa; it's such a rich and interesting set of influences!
Ok ok i have to say you’re extremely good at the guitar 🎸! Like you’re so fluent and smooth with your picking hand 🤚. I can definitely see Steve vai influence 💯 out 💯. His one my my favorite guitar hero’s as well 😇. Absolutely love this video 🙌🏻
I don't know how I never heard of you till yesterday but I am glad I finally did. Love the Bumblefoot nod too, you are brilliant and intuitive beyond belief, your resolve is tireless and dedication beyond admirable. Love it all..!!
Your ability to tap into what ever style you want is awesome and awe inspiring honestly. You’re so good but not just a technique junkie. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks. I gave up on trying to just focus solely on technique at some point due to the fact that it was making me absolutely miserable... Marty Friedman said in an interview a long time ago something about trying to create "cool guitar moments"... And while I'm not really a rocker / metal player, I think that concept is more or less the right way to think in a lot of instances. I was actually listening to a Chick corea electric band live concert the other day and kind of came back around to realizing how much of my style is informed by the way he would play Piano and Rhodes.
@@TorySlusher yeah I think at some point it’s wise to go through drilling technique but it does get a bit boring. Hopefully at the time the technique Boot Camp becomes awful the technical foundation is solid enough to express musical ideas freely and somewhat easily. I really like your two hand tapping technique or the way you approach it rather. Its very musical. Not to say the shred cats aren’t musical but the way you think about it seems to be unique and very interesting. Like you’re influenced by all kinds of music and I’m all for it! I really like the way you play. Keep up the great work.
Talented? Yes she is, makes you wonder how many years she's been playing. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing 15 years maybe? I've been playing guitar 40 years. I take seriously listening to everything I can. Although their was 3 year period I didn't play. I listened to Al de meola' John McLaughlin, paco de Lucia and uli jon Roth ,hendrix stuff. I couldn't play 'passion grace, fire stuff. Although the band I was at that time was playing y&t songs 'earthshaker) also ratt and motley Crue songs. Backyard parties. The clubs wanted top 40. So we got top 40 songs rehearsed for two months then ended moving to Nashville' 1986) never playing the top 40 songs rehearsed. If you were in club scene Nashville you knew who whitelace was even though we never played Nashville.(before they kicked me and drummer out we played one showcase at our rehearsal (Elvis museum) one show. People in Nashville didn't like us because we came from Fresno calif out of nowhere living in Brentwood mansion cruising around in Jerry reeds old limo. They thought we were rich wearing sparkly cloths in high heel boots long hair of course. Our singers dad was investing in the band. Real estate tycoon with hit men. We lived in old mansion with no furniture except for managers bedroom. With fully stocked bar and cabinets full of rum, whiskey, tequila, and vodka 5 acers with maids house out back. (hangout) it was big party. My point is we were tight band, before moving to Nashville. We were practicing. Show off hitting each other in the face with out guitars on accident from rocking out throwing our guitars around neck without proper lock strap. Wooden floors sound good though. But we sucked because we stopped practicing individually. Later the band played all florida scene. The drummer and I got kicked out before Florida. They got a guy from GIT Los Angeles, who was playing in Excalibur Paul Gilbert's old band. Walt was cool guy. Same image. This is back 86 when sweep picking was astounding.
thank you for invoking ruth. i really dig your lines but your left hand knocks me out the most with those comp voicings. Ollie and Allan and Trane and Monk and McCoy, and it all sounds like YOU. Excelsior!
I made a comment 5 months ago, but actually would have meant to say Matteo Mancuso, who is primarily a finger style player totally, Mateus is a pick and fingerstyle, he mixes it up. Which you TORY do sometimes too. All these Phenomenal Players today, it is just unbelievable the Talent out there. If it was not for the ytube platform we would not even know about ALL of them. So much TALENT!!!
@@TorySlusher Back in early 90's I was using finger pick style only but I sensed that I would lose pick ability, so I adopted the hybrid picking, ala Eric Johnson, although he fingerpicks Acoustic guitar, and is Immensely Talented. LIKE YOU ARE. Utilizing as much tapping as you do, a pick slows you down.
Noticing your poster on the wall - You are an Alien urself, I m just simply amazed anything you play on ur public videos. So, no need to believe - you are existing. Keep on going. Who are your favorite guitarists?
Pretty much. ... I'm influenced by anything really, it could be John McLaughlin or Keith Jarrett or some third world musician playing some exotic instrument etc.
@@TorySlusher Wow, u mentioned 2 names whom I wouldnt think of listening to you:) but yes, those guys are among the immortal bigs. Who impacted you to start your great tapping style? And where did you learn music?
Richie Kotzen gave up the pick years ago also and he’s completely killing it. Your amazing, I can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with. You should be ruling the Earth real soon.
Hilarious when that podium and mike popped up in the video...! Like the way you mentioned....I have an all 6 strings bender...! Cheers.....great playing as always.
I can't rest in peace, can't sit back and enjoy, find it irritating, and have pain in my heart as I watch this. Precisely why I insist fellow musicians, especially students, click here.
Now I've only known you exist for a couple of days now, and have decided, instead of grabbing a guitar right away and start in, I'm going to just watch a bunch, and it could be days and days and days, etc...until I get a little bit of how you think in my head. In the meantime, thanks for another, even though this one is 2 years old.
It's funny you mention at the end that you probably just pissed a bunch of people off because I was already going to comment that a guitarist has never made me feel so angry as I did @7:30 - about 8:10 😅. I am so envious of your beautiful 🧠 and skills. Conversly other vids like your Black Hole Sun cover made me feel like I was in love with music for the first time again! Pardon me for gushing, but as a lifelong musician and a guitarist I feel like I just discovered Jason Becker before anyone knew about him. You could definitely hang with today's musical elites if you want to. Thank you for sharing your special talent and I hope more people get to experience it!
I used to think that eschewing the pick ultimately leads to improved speed, but I guess it just improves articulation (and avoids overplaying)? Great insightful video!
I think the improved articulation is one of the biggies, I just like the feeling of actually touching the strings I think... You instantly have more of a connection to what you're doing
Oh he ain't going to pay no attention to me until I have over millions of followers.... Anyway, he's part of that whole cover-up Network thing anyway.... Shhh, code word, code word, etc everybody get out there f****** decoder rings
Her top 1% ability and musical talent is part of how really big the world of music right now in the present is. That is mostly lost on Beato. He should be interviewing Tory, interviewing Tina S, interviewing several Japanese guitarists. I'm not holding my breath.
@@shawnbell6392Yeah, I’m not either I suppose. What’s special here is Tory is showing others how they can arrive to experience the joy of music. Virtuosity is a great illustrator showing what may be accomplished. The joy of music is intrinsic. If one chooses to “beat off” with chops in front of a crowd for the sake of showing what they can do- it misses the point completely. But here is someone who not only has achieved mastery, but also mastery of composition and creativity. That is a rare find. We’re lucky to witness and be inspired!
I know how you DIDN'T develop your chops. By posting selfies to instagram every day and texting all day. You want to get good at something, you gotta DO that something a LOT. You are really good at seeing those shapes quickly and that tapping stuff really makes the notes pop out when you hit the strings with a bit of speed. Also solves the whole picking problem except in some cases, I guess. nice.
Are you talking about the guitar by itself? Okay, so if that's the case then I just have everything plugged into obs, there's a direct signal going in on the one audio channel and then I have a mic on my laptop which is doing the vocals and just getting some ambient sounds, I just have a hot key to mute the mic so that it diverts back to the direct guitar signal by default.
Stunning. You are super-human. Congrat. To be honest, I don't like tapping sound too much and probably I will not listen your music for pleasure (same as Holdsworth or many others!) but your approach to music is totally superb.
Do you have a band or play in one? I don't think I'm the only one who would love to see you develop your playing and compositions with other great musicians. There's a whole unsuspecting public out there waiting to have their minds and ears blown by your genius in concert and recordings.
Soon as I heard those stacked fifths at 6:57 I thought Tosin Abasi, as they are everywhere it seems the past few years. Some of his ideas are ok although a bit too rhythm-centric for my tastes (I prefer explorative melodies and harmonies).
I’d love to hear a collaboration with you and Richard Bona. I kinda want Terry Bozzio on drums for this collaboration too. Seems like the right fit in my head canon.
I was wondering if you were in a band. I recall this style early..guys like Stanley Jordan.. a fewvotyers. You mix beauty and controlled force so well.. it’s not just fusion.. to my ears anyway. Thanks for the awesome lesson.
Wow! You’re pretty amazing! I hope your channel takes off so you can get better recording equipment! This works fine, but I imagine it would be that much more engaging with better sound quality and picture. I’m getting ready to start my own channel, and I’m gonna be starting with just my phone and what little gear I have.. Hoping I’ll be able to get enough followers that I can stop being so poor.
Your facility on the instrument is remarkable. I really appreciate how your musicality takes precedence over your technique; I don't feel like I'm listening to a chops-monger. Are you a full-time musician? If not, can I ask what you do for a living?
@ 10:50 it reminds me of Desert Rose Band - Price I Pay and also the Orange Blossom Special and I'm pretty sure those people used an slap back echo....and you didn't have to.
There's actually a technique that I do where the left and right hands play the same notes, but on different strings and in the same octave, which simulates that fast double note thing you're talking about... I need to do a video on that kind of thing, eventually
Goddamnit she's great she's actually versatile unlike many guitarsts who just like that word. Unfortunately it's cruel that these good recommendations come only at such a time as 2 am my eyes are heavy but...
The whole "left hand comps the chords" while "right hand plays the melody" is just brilliant. Do you have a way you started on this and how did you develop it over time? So musical too! Very cool. But if I were to try this, it would be utterly glacially slow I think (in my case anyway) and would take a long time to do it at speed.
been enjoying your videos a lot over the past few days. have you heard of reinier baas? i'd be interested to hear your opinion, one of my favourite improvisers ever, definitely check out 2nd coming of homunculus
Biologically familiar. I am so enjoying that concept! of muscle memory. That was way funny and I spoke too soon, and I am doing it again as is my want. I don't mind doing it again though. You could make Jordon sand at the back of a room and take his wig off. I have only a couple of four string basses for a reason. Just don't need more strings really. Really.
Not so much anymore, I feel that it's sort of limits my approaches... Although I probably would use one if I was playing in a heavier rock band, just to prevent tearing up my fingers
i would say after having watched your channel for a while that you're a sort of Mozart of Jazz Fusion i think you need to fix your hum noise coming from your amp (maybe it's due to a ground loop)🧙♀
@@TorySlusher maybe it's smart meters injection into the power network ...they have transformed our good old power wires into mobile antenna (not talking of the myriads of 📡 everywhere) you can get some filter plugs online (at least 3) to get rid of these injections
@ 5:30 that's when I would start tear my right hand fingernail (the Blues thang). I never saw you attack it like that. You always get a LOT of sound with a light touch somehow. I'm a month now into drinking my beef collagen (100% grass fed, of course). Gotta get this nail stronger.
@@TorySlusher Thanks Tory, I'll try that. I am a bit of a digger. ⛏ Actually, I just realized that one can index pick a couple of ways. If I have my fingernail turned outwards then I'm only hitting the string with the flesh of my finger, no nail damage. I realize that a lot of time I pick the opposite way and the nail hits the string and I have that tendency to really whack the string. You're so calm!
Salen standard. I don't think they really make this color anymore, and they may be in the process of phasing out that particular model. I personally hope that they come up with an "essential" version of this guitar... With a straight scale, and maybe noiseless Nashville style telecaster pickup configuration.
@@TorySlusher Wow, never heard of those, yeah the Boden essential I could get one day. A guy locally has an Eart headless, says it's great but the action is maybe even too low for his liking and is selling it. Very tempted, selling cheap.

Unprecedented speed and control. Absolutely breathtaking.
Totally agree you. Also wondering why YT did not offer me her content. I listen for years to Tina Šetkić - her speed and accuracy is also mindblowing.
I don't know what to say.
That's incredible. I'm glad I clicked. I very much respect your technical and mental dedication.
As a guitarist and musician my self, you are an inspiration to us all. Keep it up you're are beautiful. 👍

But if I were to try this, it would be utterly glacially slow I think (in my case anyway) and would take a long time to do it at speed.
Basically, I saw Stanley Jordan doing this originally, and then I started to listen to a lot of jazz pianists...
@@TorySlusher I was thinking that
Balawan is also very effective with this technique
Into the mind of a genius
Phenomenal! ♥
been enjoying your videos a lot over the past few days. have you heard of reinier baas? i'd be interested to hear your opinion, one of my favourite improvisers ever, definitely check out 2nd coming of homunculus
Definitely seems familiar
Biologically familiar. I am so enjoying that concept! of muscle memory. That was way funny and I spoke too soon, and I am doing it again as is my want. I don't mind doing it again though. You could make Jordon sand at the back of a room and take his wig off. I have only a couple of four string basses for a reason. Just don't need more strings really. Really.
Damn right, giddyup, killermonjaro.
Tuck and Patty sounds like, 22 century (around 19 to 20 min) they have that groove
Arrrroug ha a re a, noise, made dreary day -sunny
凄い！高崎晃さんもびっくりでしょうね。
Tory with a pick; are my eyes going bad? But my ears confirmed it; now I've seen everything! 🎸🎶🎵❤️👏👏👏
😆
7:36
Referenced Ruth underwood, damn. Ruthie had some chops
You are the best! ♥️😽
Still looking for my jaw - it’s lying somewhere on the ground
Monster player!
So the first words out of your mouth are about Ruth Underwood; ultra-hip!
And she picks. With a pick. Astonishing.
Not so much anymore, I feel that it's sort of limits my approaches... Although I probably would use one if I was playing in a heavier rock band, just to prevent tearing up my fingers
but its there if u want it!
the pinch harmonic made me lol
7:48 You just called buckethead out 😂
Podrias revelarme tu secreto de tapping por favor?, en teoria que es lo que tocas con tu mano derecha?
There's no secret it's just a bunch of practice
@@TorySlusher pense que habia alguna forma o manera de abordarlo. Gracias
i would say after having watched your channel for a while that you're a sort of Mozart of Jazz Fusion
i think you need to fix your hum noise coming from your amp (maybe it's due to a ground loop)🧙♀
It was something to do with where I was living.... It was an akron, there's some type of weird signal coming through there, I think
@@TorySlusher maybe it's smart meters injection into the power network ...they have transformed our good old power wires into mobile antenna (not talking of the myriads of 📡 everywhere) you can get some filter plugs online (at least 3) to get rid of these injections
just found you...and i can only say...U R a "" Monster " guitarist ...
I've just tried to play everything over the years...
That wall poster....... ET will come just to watch you play (that is if you are not ET already).
She's awesome
Can you play "Smoke on the Water" ...?
I don't think so,... Richie Blackmore wouldn't allow it
@ 5:30 that's when I would start tear my right hand fingernail (the Blues thang). I never saw you attack it like that. You always get a LOT of sound with a light touch somehow. I'm a month now into drinking my beef collagen (100% grass fed, of course). Gotta get this nail stronger.
I think it's because I'm hitting the string and kind of immediately getting away from it like brushing it... Not really digging into it at all
@@TorySlusher Thanks Tory, I'll try that. I am a bit of a digger. ⛏ Actually, I just realized that one can index pick a couple of ways. If I have my fingernail turned outwards then I'm only hitting the string with the flesh of my finger, no nail damage. I realize that a lot of time I pick the opposite way and the nail hits the string and I have that tendency to really whack the string. You're so calm!
i have no words. incredible smh
This is a couple years ago, which guitar is this one?
Salen standard. I don't think they really make this color anymore, and they may be in the process of phasing out that particular model. I personally hope that they come up with an "essential" version of this guitar... With a straight scale, and maybe noiseless Nashville style telecaster pickup configuration.
@@TorySlusher Wow, never heard of those, yeah the Boden essential I could get one day. A guy locally has an Eart headless, says it's great but the action is maybe even too low for his liking and is selling it. Very tempted, selling cheap.
Oh I see, that's a different model. Anyway, you are an early adopter, I'm such an early adopter that my kids are older than me. lol
