Get some old friends together, make a new dish, go for a long hike! Get your mind off music and YT, and come back to your creative space with new stories and new memories to turn into music. Sometimes checking out entirely helps us check back in more properly. Love from Norway, God Bless!🎸✝️
Helen congratulations on 200K plus subscriber's. 1 million loading in due course. Don't be too hard on yourself. Don't bother about what anyone will say. There can only be one you. No one else can be like you. Keep on being you. See you right at the very top Van Helen! Nice one!
Those are the times in life when it's good to take time to listen to the masters play and get recharged....when I've been uninspired or depressed with the muck of the world, going back to where I fell in love with music to begin with always helped...then when the time comes play those heartfelt Helen Ibe Blues and play to those listeners in the world...you're a player..you're important..you empower females to see they can become guitarists or whatever they like in the arts.....may you never thirst and when you do..take time to drink young lady....
Dear Helen, I hear your words about the challenge to honor and value one's own artistic / musical creations. The struggle is real, and more than one of my very talented artistic friends here in MN have said the same thing about their own wonderful art. I've been there, myself... and I don't know if this tendency for self evaluation and harsh self critique goes away. Keep on rocking, Miss Ibe! No matter what you think of yourself, more than 200,000 of us are here to cheer you on. Joy to you!
Helen Ibe, you welcome sweetheart 😘 How are you? There are thousands of songs that you can cover or make your songs, that will keep us viewing your videos, that's all, you got the talent, so it's simple for you.
Hi Helen, I am a guitar player. I think you are very talented both as singer and player. Be yourself, you don’t need to be anyone but yourself. I wish you the best.
Such a graceful lady with the beauty and smile of an angel and a beautiful voice and talented guitar skills. Yes you're unique and worthy and the more you persevere the more you will evolve and excel. Peace, here's looking forward to your future endeavours.
Helen you are so real to me. I have played guitar now for 56 years, but 6 years ago suffer serious health issues which left me u unable to use my right hand. Watching your videos has encouraged me to pick my guitar back up and future out a way around my disability. Thank you Be blessed.
You're perfect the way you are. And on top of that, you show others part of your own culture, with your own guitar. Do you really think people wait for another mainstream dumpster fire? There is this proverb: If it's not broken, don't fix it. Do what you do the best - which is playing music and giving us that teasing smile - and don;t give a damn about others. If you won't have the fun, your art will be weak and we will lose a great musician. Cheers from Poland.
This is another beautiful song that I applaud. Helen, I Love your music, your voice, your demeanor. The joy it gives, we should be saying simply "thank you"
Helen i am 76 , to many i was worthy ,to many others worthless , for myself i just tried to be a better person like me or not , end result my family those who count in my life say i am their shining starr , the idea is what you are and can be by being yourself . I am not in music but would listen tou you all day in a heartbeat because you touch my inner chords with sound and voice .
Step by step Helen. You are certainly worthy of success, There is no electric guitarist that I listen to that matches you for the passion that flows through your playing.
The joy I imagine of playing the guitar is that it is a lifetime instrument.Since there is always something else to learn and improve.You are talented Helen and your 200 000 plus fans know it.
Hi Helen, you are an amazing person with a beautiful spirit an wonderful talent which has touch the life of thousands of people including myself. Thank you and keep sharing the ❤️.
Congratulations on your 200k plus subscribers. Like you said, there’s a reason why you have so many. As for your loss of creativity, I used to write songs and what I realized was that the lyrics never came from forcing them. It came while I was sleeping in a relaxed state. At that moment you HAVE to get up and put pen to paper, otherwise, it’s not going to flow. So what I feel you have to do is not stress about it. Just relax. Anyways, I enjoy watching your sessions so please keep them coming. YOU ARE WORTHY!!!
Helen, keep your head up and plow through. Being an artist, is much like the stock market. Nothing goes up in a straight line. It’s a random walk, with an upward drift. Those block, ruts, hurdles, are always a gift. Life needs constant rebalancing.
Girl you are beautiful, talented, and most of all worthy. Keep doing what you do. And if you're in a creative rut it's time to just walk away and take a break.
@@wykevanweelden thank you I appreciate it... I just subscribed to your channel also, haven't had the time to explore yet but I did watch a little and I like what you do
My dear you are so so beautiful in what yo do it is good to be who you are. Watching your videos make me pick a challenge to go back in building myself up. I love the way u handle those giters. You are good, keep the fire borning
A beautiful girl, a beautiful guitar, a beautiful song. Don't ever doubt yourself Helen. You have it all going for yourself. We should be thanking you. Thank you, from frozen Ontario Canada. Cheers, and keep on entertaning us. D.
Helen, From an old man I can say that you bring joy to the world with your talent. And you young lady has something that many artists lack. CLASS THANK YOU SO MUCH. Now be brave and put the videos that you have not post because you don't like them. You might be surprised. And for the negative comments. I say bring them on, it helps me grow more and stronger. Much love from Ohio (GO BUCKS )
You are an absolute genius I love your music and the passion you possess towards music, you have inspired me in so many ways keep strumming baby you are awesome.
Just be yourself Helen! You are the most perfect Helen Ibe there is in the world. I heard a story from Carlos Santana once. He said that when he was a kid, he would hide in the closet and play his guitar and try so hard to sound like his "heroes". One day when he was depressed because he could get the sound down, he heard a voice say to him, "Maybe you aren't supposed to sound like them, maybe, you are supposed to sound like you." I for one LOVE your sound. :{)
love the original song and the comments on your struggles which are common to all of us whether we admit it or not. You are good enough and certainly worthy.
How very sweet, and hugely authentic. What a beautiful video! Thank you for sharing this very special video with the world. Please keep on doing what you are doing - being a creative. I believe that you have the blood of success running through your veins. I'm celebrating with you all the way.🎉🤗🎉
My favourite covers. Change is gonna come,Ain’t no sunshine, and African highlife. These are what I would like in an album. And I will say again. YOU ARE ALWAYS ENOUGH ❤️🎸
Above all, be yourself. We all have room for improvement, but don't strangle yourself with that thought. You are what you are today. Embrace that. Keep spreading love and joy!
I'm just 7 months into my guitar journey as a self-taught guitarists; but this I know: One day, I'll get to play better like Helen, then I'll travel to Nigeria to jam with her for some months 😊. I mean it. Watch out for me, Helen. Much love from Ghana.
Beautifully done... I love the way your rhythm, chords, and vocals seem to just flow... I recognize most of the chords you're using, with the exception of a few. This is great because the originality shines like a brilliant star. Thank you for sharing these from the heart sounds.
How wonderful to hear your voice on top of your fingers. I recognize your struggle with creativity. You will find out what works for you. You’re Helen, and your genuine. That’s more than enough! And I’m not giving up on a Norwegian festival!
Helen you are beautiful in the whole meaning of the word. I can stop watching you playing. Your smile only is like a magnet. Thanks so much for your creativity.
Thanks for sharing this Helen.Everyone goes through this at sometime. It is always nice to see you and hear every note you play. God bless stay safe Rock on 🙏😷🎶❗👀
Hey Helen Ibe....love your playing and style....you keep goin. I can still see you playin with Carlos Santana as a guest on his album... Keep on Keepin on
My soul sister. I know you'd just do it right. You listened to my request to do your originals. Thank you too, for giving us beautiful food for our soul.
ALL of your videos are great. Your vids are the only guitarist vids I watch on RUclips. Period. Everybody else is boring. These songs have the soul and aliveness I look for in new music which is very rare. I’m not a super musical person but I have really fallen in love with your music over the years. It moves me and watching you and hearing you is magical. Relax- because you must realize the learning curve is always steep on a professional like yourself’s level. Keep going 💯✔️
Covid has created hardships with a lot of artists. Artists are not suppose to work in complete isolation, but this covid has created an atmosphere of isolation which seems to constrict creative energy. African music went to America and blues and jazz came to be. Blues had a baby and it was called Rock and Roll. Then that grew into all the modern music we have around today. I think your in a beautiful place where you can mend all the music together to make something special. To melt African rhythms into blues and rock and modern music. Music has had Ry Cooder and Paul Simon who have brought African elements into their music. I don't know if we have seen enough of bringing the rich music Africa and mixing it with the music of the New World. It is good to go back to your roots. Then learning a new style, and then putting the two together. It a Gumbo , or a stew mixed with a bowl of rice and fish. Different but delicious every time.
One of the most revealing and most beautiful videos. I love the song and I love the way you were so vulnerable before the camera. This is so rare and endearing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ u forever and always.
Even if you cough alone we would watch and support. This is the only Nigerian guitarists with a RUclips channel that is filled with good quality content
I do love your play on the guitar your are very good of playing guitar you have a good heart for the music you are the best guitar player l see some things good come out of your heart this all l will say to you Helen
Please, just keep doing what you do! Keep playing what you enjoy! Your performance is sugar to my ears and your smile is candy for my soul! Keep up your wonderful music! ! Love you!
What you are feeling is what we all feel who try to be something in life. You are doing just fine, and have accomplished so much. Don't compare yourself to others. There will always be those who can do things better, or worse. Just flow with whatever draws you, don't pressure yourself just keep working, keep connecting. There will always be down times and times of self-doubt. If you have to take a break, take it. When you are feeling inspired, work. Enjoy being a beautiful, sensitive artist.
"I'm in my own space, I'm in my own lane. I don't have to compare to anyone else. I'm worthy."
Truth.
Get some old friends together, make a new dish, go for a long hike! Get your mind off music and YT, and come back to your creative space with new stories and new memories to turn into music. Sometimes checking out entirely helps us check back in more properly. Love from Norway, God Bless!🎸✝️

Thank U for being a caring & sharing 💓your journey in life with 🎸 🪨🎸🤘
You ARE worthy! The beauty is in you just being yourself.
You're perfect the way you are. And on top of that, you show others part of your own culture, with your own guitar. Do you really think people wait for another mainstream dumpster fire? There is this proverb: If it's not broken, don't fix it. Do what you do the best - which is playing music and giving us that teasing smile - and don;t give a damn about others.
