He's so respectful, doesn't talk over her at all, lets the conversation flow. You'd think people like this were more common. It's amazing what a good interviewer can facilitate

Her picking hand is blowing my mind, with the right-handed guitar flipped. Never seen someone play a guitar like this.

[@eleanormapleston8918]

[@BrodyBaddis]

Great interview. I appreciate interviewers that have done a bit more research and not be asking the same intro questions. In terms of releases, I don't mind EPs. I find them more a concentrated feel of that time period. Plus, all tracks are usually $1-2 dollars anyway - I've bought all her EPs though; The music I quite like at this moment of my life.

[@909thebridge]

Thanks for noticing! Jon puts in a lot of time researching so the interview is fun not just for the audience but also for the artist. Thanks for watching!

Kinda crazy how she plays a right handed guitar left handed, but doesn't flip the strings.

never seen anything like this before

[@TheColebyArnett]

J C He strung it like a left handed guitar. She is literally playing a right handed guitar upside down.

[@LiberalTimeBomb]

I play the guitar just like her and when you learn it that way it's just normal to you, it doesn't keep me from playing anything when it starts to get into technical play and bends are easier on the A,D,G,B,E strings because you would bend them down but the low E string I have to bend up. apparently me and her are not the only one's like this, I seen a guy at guitar center play like me & her too. the funny thing is we can seen what normal guitarist's are playing really well but you would have no clue what we are playing lol

[@Woolliscroft1]

[@richarizla641]

The Japanese House is one of my favourite artist and the main reference I have when I'm writing a song. As a guitar player, I always try to reach the vibes she puts in her songs. You can hear it in my new song, "Thinking Of A Place" that I have just released. Any comment or feedback is appreciated !

[@manzino11]

What is she using for the vocal effect? So perfect for these versions

[@lowyaw]

I kept thinking about Cobain and hearing Coldplay. Way cool.

It just couldn't compete and so you'll Keep dragging your body through life by the hair So you can say that you've been somewhere and you don't care How you're received, you sense it's a debt then you can't be reprieved Babe, you've got a face like thunder Always trying to get out and under Just stay still 'til I say it's over Babe, you've got a face like thunder Say sorry for what, for what, for what? You know I didn't mean it I said something terrible and I tried to redeem it I can be so cool but now I don't seem it Babe, you've got a face like thunder Always trying to get out and under Just stay still 'til I say it's over Babe, you've got a face like thunder

Anyone recognise the pedals she's using?

[@JosiahGentry]

She's using the Voicelive 3 Extreme for all of her vocal effects. Its a pretty powerful (and expensive) pedal. Other than that, I believe most of her guitar effects are JHS pedals.

[@callumalston5755]

EloiseMwahaha she swears by the way huge electronics swollen pickle, which despite being a fuzz can give a really good gain boost without being gnarly (although it can do that too) it's definitely audible in clean, because musicians set their pedal boards in a lot of acoustic performances they'll have pedals that they don't use at their feet because it's convenient to set up. Also the reverb comes from the fender iron face amp which has some of the nicest amp reverbs around

[@estebang5741]

Doomed Nymph I love the "Iron Face" thing. I had never heard a silver face amp called that but that's what I'm calling them from now on because it sounds way cooler

[@kooleo1212]

Her pedalboard has a Way Huge swollen pickle, Digitech polara reverb, Ibanez Tube Screamer, Behringer vintage delay and TC helicon voicelive extreme. I think she also uses a Boss harmonist pitch shifter all through a Fender vibrolux amp.

[@callumalston5755]

not anymore, i interviewed her a few weeks ago, she runs a bunch of JHS pedals as well as the pickle now

[@doggoboii]

♥️

[@DouglasDuhaime]

Where do those harmonies come from?

[@voidsabre_]

A harmonizer pedal. It's a pedal that takes the voice input and changes it into a vocal harmony using notes from the guitar playing
