    Yvette Young shows us how to unlock a whole universe of creative possibilities with finger tapping and alternate tunings 🤯

  • @LarsNorlander
    @LarsNorlander 2 года назад +589

    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.

      The entire tuning is an open major 9 #11 chord, so you can probably do some cool slide stuff too.

    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.

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.

    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 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).

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.

    I love seeing a woman playing well and speaking my language. Also - That's a pretty guitar and your rig sounds good. I used to run a non-standard gauge set of strings. The 6th string was like a 52 and the 1st was 9-gauge. So the bottom 3 were nice and flexible, but the top three are nice and fat so I can rock some metal/alternative etc.
