King Diamond, Pantera, Kreator, Priest & Maiden. Yep. Major props!

[@bluethunder7391]

And Overkill...Dude what's going on!!??

[@yudicreativeartstudio6279]

And Metallica too... find it on Misstallica band

[@BIGGLou888]

She deserves MAJOR recognition and Respect! She's soooo Badass! Not just B/C she's Hot, But as a True Artist. Her personality, Her depth in Metal & Rock. Just soooo damn Kickass! When My stuff finally breaks the surface, Would Love to have Ya on a stage or track Courtney! Be an Honor and Just Amazingly Badass! Gotta Love Her! 🤘🏻👽

[@jesusguerra1093]

This girl should be getting more attention, i used to watch her pairing with Nita Strauss in the iron maidens, and for some reasons Nita got the spolight when i though it would have been Courtney's, she seems to me a better player, dont get me wrong Nita is hell of a player too, but Ms Cox is way more accurate and her abbilitie to mimic or cover guitar solos is beyond amazing. Like i said, she deserves more attention.

[@iwaniwan3730]

Yep i agree, 💯 percent yeah. She rarely miss tone or slip or whatever that is..

[@Leon-uh9gr]

Jajaja nobody understand why nita s getting more attention? Its easy just beacuse nita is jew girl and courtney isnt thats the why

[@SrDeMaFp]

Leon ...Yeah, that’s it.

[@fxwin]

@@Leon-uh9gr Are you sure she is Jewish? I know she is related to the famous composer Johann Baptist Strauss who is known to be a Roman Catholic..

[@didienshairwan9026]

Nita got noticed by alice cooper thats why.

[@stevenmgyori3826]

She's an excellent talent that has yet to shown credit for her accompaniments! Well done Courtney, Nick and Sweetwater!

[@ronniejdio9411]

Shes a beast. The Iron Madiens are.amazing

[@awesomefearsome]

Cool riff!!! King Diamond, Andy LaRoque is amazing.

[@georgeindestructible]

Her left hand fingering is so efficient it's absurd, look at how little she moves her fingers to press the frets, only as much as she needs to, mastered her technique, damn!

[@mc12358]

Economy of motion. All the great musicians have mastered it, most can only dream...

[@jayrusnak]

She's got great vibrato too. Like really great.

[@HabAnagarek]

Yep, a master

[@bigmonsdangolfuzzjamboree7086]

I remember Queen Diamond! Still watch those vids from time to time. The other guitarist, Gina Gleason, plays with Baroness.

[@Draxtor]

SHE PLAYED BACK IN THE VILLAGE OMG MY FAVE !!!!

[@wayfaerer320]

I remember back in 1999/2000 when I discovered Soilwork - being blown away by their riffs and playing. Then I saw their music video for "As We Speak" a few years later and that's where I saw a Caparison guitar for the first time - have always thought they were such cool looking guitars ever since. A metal machine.

[@JavierGarcia-kb1no]

That Era of Soilwork was Awesome. My Friend has a Couple Caparasion Guitars. They Are Ace!!

[@jntdhome]

CC's got monster chops! Her riff choices clearly demonstrate her deep love for metal. Not a one, except maybe Painkiller, isn't a "Deep Cut". I could sit with her over beers and just talk metal for hours. She genuinely seems that cool!

[@mikaellofgren7]

What Pantera song is it?

[@absinha6209]

Courtney is amazing! Saw them in Austin! Amazing player!

[@ArtbyPaulPetro]

she was already super cool but busting out the Overkill riff sealed her immortality!!!! oh and that's some killer tone she has too, yow!

[@iasknoonewithkevin]

Well done, SW. Just posted my interview with CC. Such a rad guitar player, and person!

[@Skoora]

Love her history of what she grew up listening to. When she busted out a Kreator riff I knew she was the real deal lol. Rock on Courtney!

[@charvelgtrs]

King Diamond, Dimebag Darrell and Kreator? Damn I'm in love.

[@dirface]

Andy LR reference right out of the gate! CC is a riff machine!

[@jamiee172]

Wow! She is amazing! Love those riffs!!!

[@GearGasms]

Courtney is underrated! You rock!

[@reasonsreasonably]

Nice taste and great playing! Kreator and King Diamond, love it!

[@mikaellofgren7]

What Pantera riff is it what song?

[@jfo3000]

Great playing, clean tight, articulate. You're the Maiden that should be getting all the attention.

[@leeDs718]

is this a dig at nita strauss?

[@vitalygolub9716]

Courtney is a much better guitar player

[@vitalygolub9716]

Courtney is a much better guitar player

[@svenben9868]

Nita is a pretty accomplished player herself.. I believe Courtney is exactly where she wants to be. She enjoys being in tribute bands playing what she does. Nita was open to opportunity and took it. Both girls fucking rock.

[@jayrusnak]

@@vitalygolub9716 WAYYYY better. It's not even close.

[@countroshculla]

How's Chanandler Bong?

My mind is blown, she hit all the right bands. In my opinion. Bravo.

[@-Jones]

”One and only Courtney Cox” Really?

Jones to be fair, the other one is called Courteney Cox

As a shredder myself I can easily say the wrong Maiden is getting the attention! Cox all the way!!!!!

[@Lieutenant_Dude]

It doesn’t help that Iron Maiden have been writing their last four albums while mainlining Thorazine. What a snooze fest.

[@michaelglucksman147]

God bless her! Why couldn’t I have a daughter like Courtney! 😉👏. Awesome

[@charliebe28]

I CAN REALLY RELATE TO THE SEQUENCE OF COMMENTS MADE IN THIS VIDEO that begins at the 2:19 time-counter mark. The best way to learn how to play riffs, chord-progressions, etc., in a song - , is to find "live"-recorded videos of the musician/band playing the particular song, and decipher what they are playing _FROM THOSE VIDEOS_ . Admittedly, there are _some_ excellent "how-to-play/tutorial" videos on KZbin - , but all-too-often those are wrong on at-least a few points. As Nick stated in this interview, "Find a video of the musician that _actually PLAYED the song_ , not a video of someone who _thinks_ that he is playing it correctly". You may have to watch and _study_ those videos for numerous viewings, and even make extensive use of the slowed-down "Speed" control incorporated into the KZbin play-box; but at-least then (if you are at-all accomplished at deciphering another person's playing) you will probably be more likely to ultimately conclude a thoroughly accurate version of the song. Finally, if you _do_ watch "how-to-play" videos of songs, I recommend that viewing _multiple_ tutorials of a given song can be especially helpful. Sometimes one uploader may present most of a song accurately, but miss some part - , and then some other uploader may make _other_ mistakes, but get correct that part that the first presenter got wrong.

[@martinharris6469]

She's the best I've seen in a long time,I watched Star breakers the band last night on utube they were brilliant I had never heard of any of them 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@carlostrujillo3138]

What a fine taste of this lady. Quite interesting riffs!! She rocks

[@di_amon]

Yes! Loved the King riffs! Hail Courtney!

[@mattmurray517]

Them is such a great album. Fantastic riffs, and amazing drumming by the best drummer in the world Mikkey Dee

[@gabewow]

Awsome tone , beast of a player , more content :D

[@MorbidThrasher666]

She's awesome,been following for years

[@jagsnumberone88]

She sounds great, as always. The last riff sort of reminds me of "Mean Streets" by Van Halen.

[@ratt2roll]

i thought the same thing

[@aethersaurusrex]

Love the tone of that guitar

[@avjake]

Ms. Cox can wail on that thing pretty good. Props to Sweetwater for the spotlight.

[@cabanasanthony6799]

Well I found you playing some King diamond. Freagin sweet....you rock thanks again.....

[@cabanasanthony6799]

I still miss that jackson..

[@anthemlog]

I love seeing a skilled guitar lady.

[@Brentallica1970]

Absolutely amazing...... She's wonderful. Love all those IRON MAIDENS \m/

[@dvaspawn]

Me gustaria verla tocando con Iron Maiden en un escenario, seria espectacular.

[@hyokonzhiang]

Great tone!

[@rickplatte4163]

I love her. Shocked she never made it huge somewhere. Great person.

[@Retfie719]

What would you consider making it big as a rock solo guitar player in the 2020s? Genuinely curious.

[@eddyrox5150]

So many great thrash bands - ❤Kreator and Millie and Sami

[@PooNinja]

sweet KD riffs are Killer Cortney Cox Rocks!

[@jonborrmann3124]

She is amazing 🤘👏👏👏

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

Hi Ms. Cox! You are a sensational and gifted artist! Is this a full-time job, passion or hobby? HOW MANY HOURS A DAY DO YOU PRACTICE? DO YOU READ TABS? NOTES? PLAY BY EAR? Thanks! Keep sharing your talents!

[@bluezsb]

wow, pulling out that king diamond classic.

[@HabAnagarek]

Back in the Village! Awesome.

[@GrooveDuude]

Best intro ever!

[@philluck9527]

Good playing

[@parksoo-kim6908]

Her tone is incredible.

[@bluethunder7391]

The Courtney Cox I really care about. Not the one that claim to be "Friendly". You rock, Overkill!!

[@KnownUser139]

Epic tone

[@spoonerluv]

Man, she really nailed the nuances of the Painkiller riff

[@MoonlitSlime]

Mother's Getting Weaker is a really surprising pick, not because it's a bad riff (it's absolutely not) but because it's not a King track that most people would name-drop like Welcome Home or Abigail. Great player, good riff picks

[@GerryBlue]

Have Nikki Stringfield next, please

[@amithpandit4043]

I'm so glad Sweetwater did this.

[@AlejandroSanchez-fj1dk]

I love this woman!!

[@leoadrian2486]

What dime song did she play?

[@batmandeltaforce]

Thought that was a 1990 Charvel Fusion Deluxe at first:)

[@VincentDagenais]

I'm in love !!! 🤩

[@anders671]

No I'll be there for you by The Rembrandts?

that would be a hell of a joke, she missed the opportunity right there xd

Great guitarist. Very hard to google.

[@richardwales9674]

The problem with this video is there wasn't more. Very interesting watching her go through all those riffs and bands.

Can someone list all of the songs and artists she plays please?

They are really pushing Caparison Guitars the past couple of days. Courtney is great! Can you get Michael Romeo?

[@CtrlAltDelite]

approved!!

[@cristianpavez6832]

The legendary Nick Bowcott from Grim Reaper! Courtney is great too!

[@ClusterFugue]

Thank you for this. I was racking my brain trying to remember his superhero origin story. I never got into Grim Reaper and know pretty much zero about them but Nick seems like a genuinely cool cat and is a beast of a guitarist. I've run across a few lessons he did here on YT and he's the genuine article. Also, he confirmed for/to me that one of the oldest and most successful guitar teachers on YT has at least one glaring faux pas in pretty much every lesson he's published and that it's not just me and/or my ears. So yeah, strangely enough I'd consider myself a fan of Nick's even though I'm totally ignorant of Grim Reaper.

[@4572dk]

OK im going insane what is the riff at 5:30. I can't seem to place it

[@williamlewis6615]

Great personality drop dead gorgeous and one hell of a guitar player

[@dnadeau819]

Really? Drop dead gorgeous?

[@MetalHeart8787]

wow I was was listening to Thrash in 1988 - 1991 mainly during those years. how old is this Girl? she must have had a dad that was into Metal.

[@kevgamble]

Excellent player, great tone.

[@EricJamesVideo]

Dammit I wish she'd be more popular than her ex-co guitarist who's way over-hyped. Rock on Courtney. ps. thank you for playing the Kreator riff.

[@isMike999]

WHAT is the name of the Pantera tune that Courtney played????...

[@miketallica6173]

I love Courtney.

[@StvHmmrl]

I was wondering what type of distortion you are clicking on & off, slightly out of camera range. (Steve)

[@CourtneyCoxCCSHRED]

StvHmmrl the distortion is from the amp not a pedal. I was turning a chorus and a delay on and off for some of the riffs for a more 80s sound.

[@StvHmmrl]

@@CourtneyCoxCCSHRED 80's sound, Lol! My first HR cover band was '85. My 80's sound began with transistor Marshalls and lousy DOD stomp pedals. I struggled to LOSE that 80's sound, Lol! (But, I know what you mean). : )

[@gtrgodlou1581]

she's the Wip !!!

[@evh1980]

Courtney is bad ass !! Love it !

[@dean1618]

She is a amazing player.

[@todddavis4274]

Yes sir! I had no idea what a great player she is until lately. Nita gets the press and she is an unreal guitarist, for sure but Courtney is just as great, with her own style. She is indeed phenomenal and I wish I'd realized what I was missing before now. P.S. She is purty to.🤔
