I learned of Tory Slusher from the simple suggestion by one of my subscribers. Upon hearing her improvise I was gobsmacked. Tory uses both hands on the fretboard, but her playing goes way beyond "just tapping" on the guitar Tory is an incredible improviser that doesn't base her playing on tricks or licks that appear in solo after solo. Instead, she actually improvises and takes chances. Her playing transcends the technique and her lines are as unpredictable as her whit.
I swore that I was never going to do another interview and here I am.... Doing another interview! I hope you enjoyed this and please do check out her channel. I Look forward to the day when she puts together a two-handed tapping technique book, or two handed tapping course for guitar.

Hi. I'm a fan of Tory from Russia. She is the best progressive guitarist in the whole world.
This woman has taken jazz well past the 21st century. Amazing player, wild application of technology to musical purposes. Bravo! And those lines! And that tone!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this! I sincerely appreciate your feedback and I hope you have subscribed and hit the notification bell as it would be great to have you onboard.
So well said ! What an amazing player. Armed with just a GP 10 and a Stranberg , her musical genius shines brightly!
You are the best at this technic you have your own style your soul style is so amazing beautiful thank you for your gift to us ❤
I do believe we will see a new breed of players like this next 100 years
I'm a huge fan of Tory! Utterly brilliant, and deserving of a wide audience.
So Glad you enjoyed it!
I once had a teacher tell me that the only way to achieve greatness is to commit to a single guiding principle: One Pointedness. Tory Slusher made up her mind at a very early age to make mastery of music and the guitar her lifelong ambition. She has successfully taken the guitar to new heights heretofore not seen in any genre of guitar playing in the history of the instrument.
Thank you so much for your insight, Michael! I’m so glad you enjoyed this video and I hope you will subscribe and hit the notification bell as I wouldn’t want you to miss anything upcoming, nor some of the great videos that I’ve already been filmed! Once again, thanks for your support
I agree 100%! Her playing is a massive advance that will wildly open minds as to what is possible for guitar players! She's inspired by Stanley Jordan, but I think she's moved light years beyond him; as great as he is.
He really sticks to pretty standard jazz vocabulary and doesn't seem to stray outside of it, except that he plays chords with the left hand and lines with the right; but the lines and chords themselves are nothing special or particularly modern sounding.
Very Well Said 💯💯
Simply, Tory is a genius ... Already, in the Guitar Player's Pantheon ... The world should know about it ...
Wow, man. Tory is such a deep musician. It's great to hear her talking about all the studying she has done of classical and jazz music.
A great musician and thinker.
Hey Matthew thanks so much for taking the time to watch And I am so glad you enjoy it!
I jammed with Tory a few times when she lived in Oregon. One of the most original musicians and players I’ve ever met.
I use the word "genius" about very few living musicians. I have used it about Tory a lot. It's not just her playing, per se, but about the limitless creativity, and now, even more than in her clips, her erudition. And, humor (whether intentional or not): cue 37:31 to 37:45!
Hey Jason nice to see you enjoyed the video! I sincerely appreciate that! Yeah she's a genius all right! I hope you subscribe and hit the notification bell as it would be great to have you a part of this community!
Tory’s genius comes from my impression the fact she plays extreme exotic scales with her right hand only. Sounds more musical right hand tapping(playing scales)than advanced metal guitar tutorials. I seen a guy on instagram play same scales orthodox playing. But Tory plays this exotic scale with her guitar in her lap tapping notes without pick?
She has redefined what “great guitarist” means. Needs to record. I want to buy.
Thanks for this! As someone who only recently "discovered" Tory on social media, it amazes me how few "followers" she has, and how relatively obscure of a performer she is, in relation to her virtuosity. I find myself searching YT for her posts, and this is the only interview of Tory that I've found that she didn't conduct on herself. Very informative!
Thank you so much and I’m sure Tory would be thrilled to read this!🙏🔥
Just found her channel a few days ago. I'm am blown away and obsessed right now. I took a private lesson which was fun but it's hard to get her to dumb it down and simplify showing what she's doing exactly.
Saw a lesson for the first time 2 days ago. That was my instant reaction: “uhhh, what am I supposed to do with this…?”
Too advanced for me
Exactly I watched Tory’s video on adapting her right hand tapping. I watch three times, but found no explanation. She mentions resistance training she read from piano composer, (the piano he practiced on was hard to play. Playing a concert, pianos provided on stage made playing easy) received standing ovations. But she doesn’t really show resistant training exercises) I mean what did she practice after Van Halen tapping.
Wow! Such a cool player! I'm now a fan. Thanks for the interview 🥰🥰❤️
I’m so happy that you enjoyed this! Only the good Lord knows how you can listen to me in an interview and in person and still want to be my friend🤣🤣🤣🤣💋💋❤️❤️❤️❤️⭕️
She's amazing Helen.
Tory seems to have evolved beyond guitar many years ago. She is now just a great composer trapped (by her own volition) on the guitar. What an amazing musical mind.
Hell yeah!! She rules!!
Hey Doug! So happy you enjoyed the interview! Please subscribe and hit the notification bell so you don't miss any upcoming stuff that you might like equally as much!
Tory is insanely talented.
She is not only incredibly talented but incredibly humble. She needs to be seen by more people for sure. She rocks plain and simple!
Man this is iaintshiv, you actually interviewed her oh my gooooddddd😭😭😭
Yyyyyyyip! You recommended her didn’t you?
@@streetwiseguitar5113 yup
@@streetwiseguitar5113 thank you ❤️❤️✨✨
I absolutely adore everything Tory plays. Her originality, utterly distinctive musical ideas, and equally distinctive methods and techniques for bringing those ideas to life, simply astound me. More than anything else, her playing gives me enjoyment and peace too great to describe in words.
She's absolutely incredible!!
I've been a Tory fan for a long time… she's great !!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome! I hope you enjoyed the interview and hopefully subscribed and hit the notification bell! Wouldn’t want you to miss anything upcoming…
Kudos for the interview brother! The first time I saw her play, I was blown away.
My favourite guitarist, awesome technique & tasteful feel. Thank you for the interview, Professor
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh Yess.. Ms Tory... She is Just in Her Own Universe of Musical Awesomeness... I Absolutely Love Her 😀😀🔥🔥🔥🔥💝💝💯💯
..On Stanley Jordan.... It's Like He Basically Brought Two Handed Tapping to The Forefront.. Yess... But Tory Has Her Own Musical Spin and Approach.. And Ms Tory I Hear it... Bebop Jazz No Question 😎👊💯💯💝
She's Amazing and I really like her style. Thanks for interviewing her Prof!🤘🏼
Thank you for watching!!!
Discovered her today. Mind so incredibly blown. Thx for a great interview.
I sincerely appreciate that! Thank you for taking the time to watch it and I hope you do subscribe and hit the notification bell as it would be great to have you on board💥
@@streetwiseguitar5113 I will certainly do that now.
I could listen to another 3 hours of this. What a beautiful mind.
I totally understand what Tory means about not playing "licks". I've done the same and to me music is a living language. Playing licks is akin to talking in statements in speech. It's not a natural flowing way to speak, and the same applies to playing musical licks and phrases. It's IMHO not a sincere and creative way to think and play or talk. A good melody is often a longer form that winds and weaves in a natural way, just like a good conversation would do.
I’m very pleased that you enjoyed this interview! Thank you very much for your input and I hope you have found this video up to your standards in order to earn a sub!?! Please do check out some of the other interviews that might not be the most popular “kid in the class,” but have tons to offer! For example, I think that the Simon Peter King video is an amazing interview! Give it a gander and let me know what you think…
Mega!
That pretty much says it all doesn’t it?
@@streetwiseguitar5113 yes it does indeed
Jesus Murphy!!! I've been going down the Tory Rabbit Hole, and just WOW!!! The Chicken example and Stevie Wonder Clavichord comparison was so apt. What a Star!!
Thank you for taking the time to watch this I hope you subscribe to the channel!
Brilliant playing and wonderful humility. I look forward to watching Tory get the credit she deserves. Thanks for this video Kinch!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
I love her, just discovered lately. Thanks for this.
You're so welcome! Antonio, I'm so sorry that your comment slipped through the cracks, but I'm really glad I caught it! So glad you enjoyed this video. Please subscribe to the channel and hit the notification bell as it would be great to have you on board!
@@streetwiseguitar5113 I already subscribed to your channel😉
Massive fan of Tory's playing. As with the professor, its funny how the pursuit of virtuosity can leave someone unable to sing a song at a party/ TSA
I discovered Tory Slusher on Facebook. I am 70 years old, I play guitar for 55 years. She kills us all! ;-)
Thanks for this interview! i recently discovered Tory's playing. I plan to transcribe some of her lines soon. Brilliant musician.
This is fantastic! So glad you liked it and let me know how the transcribing goes! Please subscribe would be great to have you as a part of this community.
Just discovered Tory the other day - so grateful to hear this interview. I normally like country/blues/ folk and rock - and jazz interests me for its technical side, but Tory is a genre unto herself and it is just so interesting.
Well, Tory is an exceptional instrumentalist, a virtuoso, a distinctive composer and a great musician and all that, however, what sets her apart from many talented musicians out there is that she posses an incredibly vast knowledge of Bebop to Fusion, which pretty much encompassing all aspects of Jazz, and then a profound grasp of music theory...
She is a silent giant.
Great interview, some really interesting stuff in here!
Thanks for all your support!!💥💥
She is truly amazing. Such a talent. And so laid back too. The guitarists guitarist.
Tory is brilliant. Really fascinating musician!
Thanks Streetwise Guitar ! .

Hey Bub! 😀👍
@@Truthinshredding1 Yo Laurie !!! 💦💦😊
A great interview of Tory. Iv long exhausted all of my superlatives in praise of her. Visionary best describes her. A marvelous musician!
i mean i am shocked on how super human this lil'gal is 🤒
i already had enough with Joshua Meader & his incredible skills ...but then comes this 👽
it should had taken her centuries of dedication to reach this level ...i'm off 🥵
GREAT EXPRESSIONS PHRASING !! !! JAN HAMMER MEETS HOLDSWORTHIAN PLACES // YET TRULY HER OWN GARDEN OF TORY !!
I just happened to find your videos on RUclips and I have to say there are few guitar players of your caliber out there. I haven't heard guitar playing this refreshing and inventive since Holdsworth came on the scene.
42:40 good point! When Wes played Bop in the Montgomery Brothers, I really got the idea he may have actually played Mariba or vibes and was booted from the intrument because he was the youngest brother, and they already had a marimba player. Naturally he wanted to play octaves and chords like those intruments .
In combination with Jobim and sinatra cutting a Bossa Nova album guitar really came into it's own voice . Much like how Stevie Ray Vaughn brought fourth a voice in blues. It had been done before yet he could process albert King's coolest moves get the recipe and go farther
Very cool style!
Tory is an absolute electric guitar virtuoso
Had to mention T.J Helmrich .. Jenifer Batten and Steve Lynch,Reb BEACH
👍 Thanks for putting this artist in the spotlight , she's incredible...
Great Interview of a Phenomenal Player...Quality viewing through and through
Tory is an inspiration to us all. 😃
Nice Interview! Tory is a legend.
Beautiful and informative interview! Tory is the real deal musician and artist, achieving the highest level of playing, IMO she's easily as good and deep as any other great guitarist past or present, seriously. Thank you Tory and Mr Host!
Tory is the greatest
This was an inspiring interview. Thanks to both of u guys
The completely solo style guitar she talked about really reminds me of how Joe Pass said he developed his chops. Playing solo, and his dad and his friends telling him to keep filling it up with more sound, even though he was just one kid with a single guitar.
Excellent! I'd never heard of Tory until a few weeks ago when I picked up the guitar again after a 20 year hiatus and was determined to learn something, anything, other than basic blues and rock. Somehow RUclips must have picked up on that and recommended Tory's videos. First thing that impressed me, beyond her unique technique, was her wry humor, intelligence and willingness to share what she's doing... even if it's way beyond my ken.
Great to see her highlighted.
She is amazing, loaded with personality,
Super quirky southern retro style genius.
My favorite guitarist at this time.
Great channel. Subscribed!
Thank you so much I sincerely appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the content 💥
Wonderful stuff! Keep getting after it!
a die hard tory slusher fan from west Bengal India
That was a great great interview. I love how you two went through the inspirations, the journey and the mindset at every stage.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Next level of Stanley Jordan. Great stuff!
Like she said, she couldn’t have done it were not for Stanley. Then again her sense of harmony is 1,000,000 miles be on Stanley. Thank you for watching the video I hope you enjoyed it! Do you subscribe and hit the notification bell so you can keep up with any of the cool stuff coming up soon
@@streetwiseguitar5113 i subscribed, thank you.
yeah definitely that's what i though too
I heard Tory just today for the first time. Amazed.
Wow Tori plays complex scalic movements with her right hand over jazz chord extensions with her left. ( I think) She definitely takes jazz fusion to the next level.❤❤❤❤ such a refreshing unique individualistic approach
I’m so happy for you doing this!!! I saw a RUclips video of her and couldn’t believe my ears or eyes. I love her technique. I’ve always loved tapping but never gave it a shot in a jazz context. Love her playing. Thank you for shouting her out.
Excellent interview, very interesting. Thanks! It's fascinating to hear about all the knowledge there is behind her composition and sound.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks very much for doing this. :)
My pleasure! So glad you enjoyed this Andre! I hope you get a chance to check out some of my other videos I think you would really enjoy this channel!
Yeah Tory Slusher is a freak musician, I've legit never seen anyone comp and solo so fluently on the guitar
She is truly a virtuoso
Cannot understand why this incredibly talented player has not been picked up by a label and is not playing to audiences around the world and making heaps of money for herself
People buy music with their eyes.
They want auto tuned strippers who sing over backing tracks…
Pretty boys dressed up like cowboys singing about small towns, flags, daisy dukes, whiskey, and pickup trucks…..Metal bands with clown makeup……
Thats the sad truth….
Soon it will be AI generated compositions with virtual performers in hologram form,making millions for some AI programming “producer”…
Maybe we should write a hit song about that, ha…
@@nomandad2000
Your comment kind of absurd since successful jazz guitarists (ones that don't have auto tuned strippers or pretty boys dressed like cowboys 🤔) do exist.
What are you trying to say?
Yes, musicians like Tory will probably not be writing number 1 hits, but that is not her genre, that is not her goal.
She can still play big jazz festivals and being sponsored by many brands and give masterclasses and have a musical career, so honestly i don't see your point here.
@@eladguitar I’m just stating reality. The music business is cruel that way. Highly doubt even if she does get to play festivals and travel around playing music, that she will make “heaps of money”
@@nomandad2000
I agree with you on that, being a jazz musician is more tricky and challenging, and you have to actually keep doing it, work hard, and be diverse, in order to make a living.
But it's possible and lots of people are doing.
There will always be room to make a living out of music, if you're good enough, and clearly Tory is more than good enough, i think everyone here would agree she is totally unique and deserves recognition.
@@eladguitar I am with you 100%, I hope she takes her talent as high as humanly possible. In my world, she would already be a legend.
Some artists and musicians need to be accepted just as they are and helped along. Appreciate an artist for their work and don't put them in a box expecting them to react in a particular way, and when they don't they get written off. I've noticed that in some of the comments (on her channel) where people either are being thin skinned, or have some unrealistic expectation they impose upon others to jump through their hoops and be someone they're not. At least that's what I wonder why she hasn't taken off and become a sensation at this point?
But she is a genius.
I really enjoy Tory's somewhat "ironic" phrasing. It's really refreshing, in this world of "modern" copycats.
She is a gas isn't she? Thanks for watching Sarah!
Just discovered her and she's great. Definitely enjoying her channel. Awesome to see your channel cover her. Good stuff
Thank you for doing this interview! I just found out about Tory yesterday and am scrambling to gain an understanding of her thought process.
You are so welcome!
6:10 This is also my approach for playing the acoustic; That is, doing the saxophone (Rollins/Henderson/etc) in the acoustic guitar. Not nearly as successful as her but same departure of inspiration towards the instrument
Acoustic guitar that is
Tory is an incredible musician. Amazing. Several jazz greats were obsessive about musical study and exploration in the way that she is.
One thing that makes her different from some of the jazz greats - and i will focus on pianists because she is most into polyphony, counterpoint, harmony, etc- is that they were social and gravitated
Toward playing with other greats. So chick played with miles. Tyner played with coltrane. Herbie played with miles and wayne shorter. Bill evans played with miles.
She really seems to want to explore and play music solo. I guess chopin mostly did that too.
It would be cool to hear her jam with a drummer, bassist and horn player, but that doesn’t seem to be her thing.
I would love to hear her live.
Absolutely Stunning!
Special Notes
Great 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Tory - if you had an album I’d buy it.
i follow tory ! i m french tapping player ! she is great
True artist.
This lady is masterful
GOAT!
Thanks for the insights , Tori and Professor.
Deep respect!
i like when they asked Parker how he felt about being a star, and he responded, "i don't know how it feels to be a star, i am an artist and
intellectual "
Tory is definitely the most inspiring rising guitarist of modern times, honestly-forget all that shred shit-just follow her!
absolutely amazing
Soooo good....
Now i get it! the Redbull!
I just recently saw torys channel and was amazed and this showed up on my feed and ill be dammed if i wasnt a student of yours years ago lol small world eh
19:45, I can speak from experience. I've often travelled with my harmonica and holder in my carry on. Get pulled to the side because it's a weird looking metal object and of course they ask me to demonstrate, lol. It gets me checked nearly every single time, but they let me on.
Great tune!
I think RICK BEATO would be afraid to interview this magnificent jewel for fear of destroying the guitar world 🤷♂️🎸👍👍
Oh no he wouldn't. He's a good friend of mine. He's fearless. But he will not interview Slusher. He only interviews famous people.
@@streetwiseguitar5113beato sucks. Tell him I said so. If he doesn’t recognize her talent, he has no talent.
She is absolutely gorgeous and fool.
Rodrigo, E Gabriela are so awesome…
Charlie , Django, Joe, Jimi, Jeff, Alan, Jaco, Paco, Vicente, Pat Ma, Pat Me, Tory....
he's pretty good
My daughter told me she’s taking guitar lessons. I thought about sharing Tory’s channel with her…but then, I thought NO WAY. If she sees her playing, she’ll never touch the instrument again. 😂
The Miles Davis of guitar!😊
