- GRAMMY Award-Winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, H.E.R., talks with us about why she makes music, how the Stratocaster inspires her sound and the significance behind being the first Black woman to release a signature guitar with Fender.
Breaking through barriers, blending genres, and mastering her chosen instruments, the force that is H.E.R. brings honesty, soul, and a fresh quality to everything that extends from her voice. Her love for the guitar runs deep from learning the blues Pentatonic scale on the very first Strat she received from her Dad at the age of seven all the way to the one that currently bears her name.
Watch as she shares some of the sounds from her signature H.E.R. Fender Stratocaster and takes us through some of the inspirations that have guided her musical choices and shaped her artistry.

#WhyWeMakeMusic #HER #Stratocaster
I am 65 years old...have 2 guitars...haven't played in a few years...arthritis hands...but this inspired me to try...she's great ...love her voice too
Any updates? How'd it go?
I'm playing it a little...hands feel better...still hurt but playing seems to help...
Is it better at all yet?
@@monstermusic3173 yes...feeling much better...music is inspiring and so is H.E.R.
Shit I'm 55 and don't play a guitar... but seen them all... this is so refreshing.
The first time I saw HER on stage at an award show.......I was blown away. I love her music and her whole vibe. I loved that she came out comfortable on stage...she wasnt sellin her music with her body......SHE is the real deal. Happy to see such outstanding talent in someone so young. Looking forward to hearing anything she might create through her gift 🌹🙏🌹
She’s been around since she’s about 10. You can find her on utube.
Well said
she said she wants to make young girls believe they can do what she does too... and when i see her rocking that guitar on stage i do believe 💖
The minute I heard her play I knew she had old school roots. Saw her on Jimmy Fallon and she absolutely blew me away! Then she did it again as a musical guest on SNL! She is fantastic, and I'm hoping and praying she does at least one album with a cover of about the 10 most fantastic guitar solos ever heard. I would buy it in a heartbeat. Of course I completely support and applaud her own material. She is a true artist, a bona fide musician.
"when words fail, music speaks" - H.E.R. 😍
❤️❤️ She’s not the original person who said it tho
@@klyma159 i know
💩🐮
@@nevaehbannis1451 then why do you think you can credit the phrase lol tardy
7 months later … I want to say she inspired me to learn the Guitar and to truly dive into Jimi Hendrix and learn. Because of this video I bought some cheap Squires and eventually bought the $999 Jimi Fender Strat. Shout out to amazing women who inspire!!!!!
Great thing about Jimi is your always learning with his stuff
I'm an old man (73) and have always wanted to play the guitar. This particular song and your guitar work has inspired me to buy the guitar and amp and get busy learning. I've made a living for 50 years as a stained glass artist and know well the hurdles in front of me but I'm ready to take the leap and this is just a note to tell you thanks for the push. I've pushed so many and you've pushed me.
Wow. Bless you
How you getting on with the instrument?
Refreshing To See a New Artist Actually wanting To Play Their Instruments again!
I’m so happy she’s come this far, she deserves everything I just wish I could afford her signature strat ughhh
Respect her even more
No gimmicks, no fake body or shameless behavior to get ahead. Just a Beautiful Soul using H.E.R God given talent to get ahead. I love this Woman
Lol it’s a huge gimmick
@@DaveTomahawkhow is it a gimmick?
H.E.R. really inspired me to pick up a guitar, and I love her for that lol, I bought my first acoustic a few weeks ago, and saving to get my first strat😍...If anyone has tips to improving as a beginner, feel free to share? lol! Keep inspiring us queen🌹🌹🌹
Have you learned scales yet?? I’d say an important tip is to learn scales. Anything else lmk
Hope to see you out there one day!
Start with the basic 8 blues chords and then, go from there.
@@royaltaee5111 I haven’t! I think I will do that...I know how scales work on the piano but still trying to understand how that’s arranged on the fretboard. But I Just know a few chords/simple progressions. Open chords, 7th chord fingerings, But Barre chords are giving me hell lol
@@seeyanuhhs.7372 barre chords are hella trouble 😂 but just start with something like the pentatonic scale. And it goes from there!
JIMMY HENDRIX, ERIC CLAPTON, AND PRINCE ARE AWESOME
and jhon mayer hé is the best
I am 13 years old and I just got me a guitar and I have been taking electric guitar lessons for a about almost 2 months now. I’m really enjoying it ❤❤❤
I knew she’s a great singer but damn she can jam on that guitar.
......And a great bass player, too.😌🎶👍🏾
she's good at every instrument lol. skip marley taught her how to play a bonjo and she killed in the first few minutes.
This girl gonna save our guitar ain’t she . We have a squire strat I sent this video to my 12 year old daughter she was so natural when I showed her chords in lockdown she still remembered them I can hear her noodling on little mini Marshall amp I’m so happy kids need this kind of thing to pry them away from the laptop. I didn’t know who her was until this but I’m thankful fender finally signing people our young ones can relate to . They smashing it fender from past few years like that . And that’s from a lespaul guy
Just in love with her music. I watch her preform and listen to her music everyday all day.
I saw H.E.R. Play at the Super Bowl Half-Time show on TV. She’s a very good guitarist. As someone who has his own electric guitar, I really appreciated her solo at the show!!! She’s underrated in my opinion.
“Pass the torch on to the next girls who want to kill it on the guitar”. Love it,....even though I’m not a girl and am feeling pretty damned inspired too 🙂👍.
I’m a metal , power chord guy . This is a very talented person ! Jam on !☠️☠️☠️🤘🏻
She sucks tho 🤣🤣🤣
@@DakinRinone gtfo
Facts
Thank you I was in the same boat and passed right over her until I actually stopped and listened and was like this girl is on another level. So much better than anything in the genre that's out there currently.
@@DakinRinone , actually you suck
She makes me want to play more.
I love how you play your Fender Stratocaster you make it talk...... sounds great!!!!(compliments each other) 🎸🎤🎹🎸🤗🙌💞👍
She done great on Saturday Night Live
I must have been the only one watching SNL for her instead of the host (pun not intended)
She,
H.e.r. has blown my mind period!!
I used to play
We
Could have been around my ex ,
And guess what!!!!!!!!
That song is soooooo powerful,
Now,
Im single after 6 years!!!!!
Wasn't looking for that reaction but it is what it is!!!!!!
Humbled and grateful!!!!!!!
I’ve always struggled with guitar, I’ve owned one since I was like 12, but I’m way more of a drummer than a guitar player. I own a Fender Squire Mustang and an acoustic guitar, and watching this video makes me want to play more than ever in my life. HER is the same age as me, and it blows me away her level of passion and dedication to her instrument. I admire her a lot and this video is so sick and well done. I love it.
I HAVE A BLACK STRATOCASTER, THAT I PLAYED FOR YEARS AND STILL PLAY, KEEP DOING IT DAUGHTER, YOU SOUND GREAT. POPE IVA. 🕊🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕊
I love her music, and her vibe. She seems like a mello, laid back person and such a creative artist!
Play back black person?
நறாாமயயஙஙஙஙசஎஎஎஎஎஎ
I love H.E.R. voice
Wow young person playing a musical instrument what a breath of fresh air
True. Plus, she can play piano, bass, guitar and I think that’s it. Unless I’m missing something. Yes I missed out that she plays drums too.
@@jklmopqtstuvwxyz5349 she does😍
Really love the directing/editing of these artist series. Totally recommend the Finneas one next
yes i love finneas
I'd never heard of her before today crazy enough - glad I did, great voice and love comfort and expressiveness on guitar
Its a good feeling to have..also can be a burden sometimes..but an amazing burden..keep playing PLEASE.. don't ever let anyone change you
This is so amazing. I love guitars. What’s also amazing is that I’m a big fan of H.E.R. I’m very inspired by her music!
Beautiful voice...soulful guitar player..loads of talent...so smooth...
We'll definitely be paying more attention to this Artist!
I love this woman
John Mayer × H.E.R.🙏
AGREED💯
Dang, that's so dope. I thought i recognized her in the Old Navy commercial but didn't know she played guitar. You could tell she knew how to hold it in the commercial so i got curious. Good stuff. I'm a fan now because she's pretty darn original and plays good guitar. Beautiful too.
The talent level of H.E.R is rare & unmatched.
Frio
Stunning and brave
Awesome I love H.E.R. LOL🎸🎸
She's simply divine!
I have been practicing and studying and playing the Blues Guitar since I was in Junior High school I'm 63 years young I think it's Fantastic for H.E.R to be the First Black Young Lady to have a Genuine Fender Signature Stratocaster A Honor she Rightly Deserves Keeping the Passion Alive for Music
If Lauren Hill and Lenny Kravitz had a kid It'd be H.E.R
Yasss
Nah, I feel like she’s the lost daughter of Prince
Yeessss...
right!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE H.E.R.❤❤❤❤
She's of the Best🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Great family story. Keep on getting it. Music sooths the soul. Great playing. Great voice.
I had never heard of her until I saw the guitar. What a beautiful looking guitar in its own right. Snagged one for that reason alone.
My dad played the Spanish guitar for me as a little girl, and my grandfather his father was in a blues band. He used to play his songs and notes for me. Music is so healing
You are such an inspiration to me QUEEN 👑❤️👑 ❤️
I think I'm ready to pick up the guitar again 🥺🥺🥺
I'm not into "new" music artist, but I'm going to give this woman a chance. I've been playing piano for decades but this is inspiring. I definitely need to learn guitar.
The timing is impeccable
I agree often when I can't think of words to tell my girl how I feel I'll send her a song that kinda speaks for me.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THAT THIS/ SHE/H.E.R. INSPIRED YOU!!!! Honestly, hearing from the ppl that came before me is what inspires me the most and keeps me going. We're young and invincible and then ALL OF A SUDDEN we realize that we're fading away and that we should've listened. But it's the natural progression to live free... then realize it has come upon us that we're not exactly the HOT thing anymore, that opportunities hv just passed us by, that our knees are bone on bone... that all of a sudden doing the same thing we've done our entire life just blew out our discs, or whatever your story is. I know for most of us love has brought us to our knees and it's so hard to get back up again and stay up. Hearing from the elders no matter what age... just the ppl that hv gone through more life and hv been knocked down... that they got back up again because of inspiration... that brings life into my soul. I feel blessed anytime and everytime y'all share that with us cuz it's a gift. Exactly the way you shared it is exactly the way I needed to hear it and exactly the way many others needed to hear it tonight or today. I'm no young buck but I'm not old... I'm 45 and I just want to say to ppl younger than me that it goes by in an instant. Please cherish it all and listen to those that are older and willing to give a little advice. It makes life so much more enjoyable, beautiful, and worth while when you look back at any stage. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's a really cool looking Strat. Also a very fun and talented woman.
It feels pretty good and sounds great
She just played America The Beautiful at the SUPERBOWL! -- With that killer Stratocaster.
I just want the debut album date release!
I love her so much 😭😭❤️ everything about her it a vibe 🔥🔥💕
I can wait for a new album of year 2021
Love her sound and playing
Such a beautiful guitar played by a beautiful woman.
I love the, CONFIDENCE YOU SPEAK OF TOO OTHER YOUNG WOMEN OUT HERE!!!
Keep Rockin Out Those Blues and I know,
I'LL BE LISTENING...
GOD BLESS YOU SWEET ONE
Great interview, I’m inspired !
Every now and again Eric Clapton has his guitar festival...sooo looking forward to seeing H.E.R. there...🤩🤩🤩!
And she is the reason I picked up an electric guitar soooo amazing
Amazing sound. Carry that torch.
She hasn't came across Sister Rosetta Tharpe yet? Well...also she should study at the following queen guitarists that came before...Tracy Chapman, India Arie, Michelle De'Angello (bass), well... she still has time to study those that came before... but she's on her way and got my support
Yo BO* totally awesome agree
OK - I need to start listening to H.E.R.
This girl is amazing always
She can do no wrong, wow just wow
I love everything she does vocally but no idea she's a goddess that throws down on guitar. Rulin
JAM AWAY, ROCK AWAY, ALL THE WAY!!! TILL THE HEAVENS OPEN UP AND SAY GIRL, JESUS AND THE ANGLES LOVE U AND THAT BEAUTIFUL MELODY SOUND!!!
Saw her a couple weeks ago on Austin City Limits. She’s a very talented creative musician/ vocalist. Multi talented. Watch out world she’s the real deal
I didn't know she existed until the superbowl halftime show (I primarily listen to rock).
But anybody that sings, writes and plays their own instrument (especially well) is good by me 🔥
Omg I love the house and her style
How come I haven't heard of HER before.Talent galore.
Purity in music...thank you for this
You get it proud of you keep it Real!!!
She is one...to say, with her instrument, in this case the guitar. And as it sounds she is pushing that individualism which is cool.
I'll be keeping in touch this this gals music for sure.
👍👍🎸, you go young lady & don't stop!!!
Her playing is so tasteful. Beautiful.
shes gifted with that beautiful voice and talent
Her. So. Cute like fr nobody couldn’t ever been this beautiful and outstanding person she is today. I love her beautiful voice she sings perfectly. Fine to me. Her house is bigger than mines but I am not jealous of her. She really works hard to just pick up a guitar and starts to play it. She sounds like Alicia Keys without the opportunity to guide herself into this investment where god provides her in life and where her parents. Raise her to be. That how I love her.
Being white and growing up loving the sound of the Strat but being overloaded with just old white men as artists, HER is SO refreshing to hear while still loving that guitar. I want to increase my intake of black and minority artists so if anyone has recomendations that fit with that style of guitar PLEASE tell me

#WhyWeMakeMusic
Hello H.E.R, nice to meet you.
This video and your music inspires me so much that I just don’t wanna put down my guitar...thank you❤️
"Where words fail, music speaks"..
Play it,
Or Sang It!
I’ve really fallen in love with guitar from your music and the likes of Mac Ayers and seeing you on this video representing Guitar Center just motivated me to consider picking up the instrument myself! Being a person introduced to music through a woodwind instrument 🎷 and playing classical band and jazz in high school I kinda of felt like jumping to guitar was too foreign but I swear the first song I’m going to learn is Comfortable. Thanks for being a inspiration H.E.R and never change!!! 🥰🥰
I jus wanna be around her ❤️
I'm so proud of you. You sound very good on the guitar. Please keep playing and keep writing. It is fun. And you make it fun. Thank you, appreciate it.
I hope she keeps going more in a rock direction so we can hear her raw guitar skills….I’m sure some people want her to go the R&B way and focus more on her looks and singing…even if she does, I hope it has a funk/rock edge so we can hear her guitar chops
That’s a badass artist right there. I love H.E.R.
Another world class half Filipino/black artist
🙏💡😂😂 I’m inspired ... and you are so Beautiful 😍 .. I now want to learn the guitar 🎸
I love you ,thank you for that, I'm really stressing right now
Hope things are getting better.
She , Her , is awesome !
Didn’t know she played instruments! She’s a phenomenal vocalist by the way. Really happy to see HER with guitar center and fender 😋

Greetings from Germany
@Guitar Center I love Gabriella Wilson aka H.E.R.! That girl got a god giving talent! Blessings to H.E.R.!
I've only seen a few of her videos but I haven't seen her actually play yet. Air guitar queen.
Why is it on some live videos she plays left handed like holysht does this girl have a limit 😂 she’s uber talented
