Ernie Ball: String Theory featuring Halestorm

"I cite guitar playing and I cite this band with pushing me forward and giving me that North Star. It's a feeling, it's a thing that you carry with you, it's a fire." In this episode Ernie Ball​ artists, Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger of Halestorm discuss their beginnings with guitar, their love of playing, and their relationship with Ernie Ball.

String Theory is a web series from Ernie Ball that explores the sonic origins of some of music's most innovative players.

Lzzy may be a rythm guitar player for most part but I like that they both compliment each other, sometimes her making the solo just in a way that Joe can continue it later in a great way like in Love Bites, I've seen them doing this live in other songs aswell, or even in covers, it's refreshing for the fans and for them to try new stuff live and don't necessarily know what to expect bc they make changes and different intros/outros and that's so cool.

At 60, this makes me want to fire up my 75 SG that I got in high school and start playing again.

4:36 i was screaming all the way around my house when I saw this, omg, you know someone is good and his taste is so when you see a Manson guitar

One of the best series on YouTube. Keep it up Ernie Ball

[tfm-Fender.]

To me this explains exactly what it is to be a guitarist and what it feels like to play in a band

[alanscharrer]

These guys are fantastic, Lzzy and Joe sharing leads and powerful vocals. The best trained musician is actually the Bass player, Josh .Lzzy's brother, Arejay, is a madman on drums, Keith Moon reincarnated.
