Yvette Young | Approaching Guitar Like a Piano | Artist Toolkit

In this edition of Artist Toolkit, Yvette Young from the band Covet talks us through her approach to playing the guitar.

For someone so brilliant, she seems very down to Earth and normal. This was really cool!

[fenderbrad]

One of my favorite guitar players, have you noticed there’s not a lot of covers of her music? 😂 very creative, and out of the box playing!

I've been drumming for a long time now, but I also took guitar in high school so it's always been on the back burner. Watching and learning more about the technique Yvette uses really helps me approach guitar in a completely different way. Her and John Browne are two of the biggest influences for me - their playing is so percussive that it sometimes feels like I can play the drums on the fret board. And Yvette's approach to melody is just insanely inspiring...music is just the coolest thing.

Love music. Don't know anything about how it's created. Watching Yvette is like witnessing some kind of crazy witchcraft. That's just one reason it's so wonderful – the mystery. I don't have the faintest idea what she's talking about but I sure do enjoying listening to her explain it, and create it. Cheers.

Thank you lady, this is where I'm gravitating to . I can definitely take your experience with your familiarity with the violin and keyboard as trusted information.

I love seeing these modern electric guitar players using finger style in the main spotlight it makes me feel like less of a noodler knowing the pick is overrated.

[fffw]

[lefujyou]

[jffnvrr]

[willft]

[koonsickgreen]

Emily harpist brougt me here. Lol. I like your style. Ur rizz too..hahaha

[JesseStG-ip]

I had said this same thing to my grade 9 music teacher, it's just layered

[jrbattista]

Van Halen was a hard rock shredder. Great of course, but the tapping here seems more complex - EVH had women in love and little guitars intro but not much else was polyphonic. Apples and oranges - both styles great though

[kubricksghost]

It's a REALLY cool way of playing! I love the harmonies but I wish it had more crunch(metal type of distortion and rhythms)
