This guy is just determined to keep her from listing the tuning for each string.

[@vhenry75]

Loved this,it's was buzzing..

[@JohnEZang]

She’s so right about the shredder culture. It’s like admiring a writer for how many words or pages they wrote. Misses the point completely. Eddie Van Halen, though a shredder type, wrote awesome music and guitar riffs with groove and rhythm. He was in tune with being a musician first.

[@77Fortran]

I would say the endless regurgitation of 'blues/blues-rock' licks is more pervasive.

[@JohnEZang]

77Fortran definitely don’t disagree there. If you scan Instagram it’s a bunch of shredders and generic blues rockers. Thanks Joe Bonamossa (The Kenny G of blues rock).

[@KevinHallaian]

@@JohnEZang Textbook shredders and generic blues rockers were 90% of guitar and accessories customers in my younger years working at a Guitar Center. They were affectionately referred to as wankers. Testing a guitar, effect and/or amp for more than a minute or so was called wanking. It was insufferable. Glad to know little has changed.

[@jrbattista193]

Eddie was a writer at heart but also an innovator. Song intros like for women in love and Top Jimmy were a huge part of his style. He used harmonics for song intros and for stylish flourishes to end a song like for Spanish Fly. Yvette not only expands on that stuff but actually created a new style imo. I thought guitar playing was exhausted until I got into her music. Outstanding.

[@romandevengenzo4267]

Soooooo, what’s the tuning?

[@TheMarcomazzocco]

F A C G B E yvette tuning but toe's one is half step down i belive

[@VixCrush]

Love the YY10 signature model. They are on preorder now but I think im gonna get a used Talman for my niece since the signature model is $1099 and used Talmans are only like $299.

[@PumpkinFoxx]

I got my talman for free made in korea from my sister who hated it. Decent guitar, nothing to make a huge fuss over unless you enjoy the body style.

[@skatan4727]

How did she like it?!

[@crowsick5836]

Goddammit just say the tuning

[@user-zv7lm8uk7h]

seriously, she is lame.

[@innocentoctave]

Excellent interview. Yvette Young is clearly a musician first and a guitar player second, which is how it should be.

[@endezeichengrimm]

So her signature model comes stock tuned to 1E,2B,3G,4C,5A,6F

[@alvarocastro4910]

F low o high?

[@endezeichengrimm]

@@alvarocastro4910 6 is the low string. 1 is the high string. Apparently it is the F above the low E standard. I think that's what you meant. It's not a lower F below the normal low E string.

[@aftermathpenaut6758]

Reupload?

[@codexnecro]

Looks like it.

[@premierguitar]

Nah, just an interesting clip from the full Rig Rundown - watch the episode: bit.ly/CovetRR

[@endezeichengrimm]

He talked and she didn't actually show the tuning.. Shit!

[@markkonns2991]

Premier guitar is reading guitar gossip postings? What a coincidence...

[@derossi9135]

So...Who is the musician?

[@NRG2]

Apparently there are these crazy hand-wound cables that will take that ridiculous hum away. I'm sure she could get some for free. Keep your tone but 60 cycle noise be gone 🤘😁🤙

[@battlefieldnoob402]

@goobtuber they have some that don't even buzz when u go to plug it in idk what brand tho

[@LorSTApunk07]

So... Just talking without actually getting into the tuning. Hmmm.

[@idleave]

She’s so pretty!

[@caleshtcincredibles]

Alt tunings are cool, she needs a noise gate on that pedalboard !

[@kayakchrispy]

Buzz is embarrassing Professional? Ouch

[@user-zv7lm8uk7h]

pretty much every word she spoke showed she was unprofessional.

[@Alex-pe7yw]

@@user-zv7lm8uk7h yeah that must be why she's getting paid to play music while the real guitar experts are here commenting on her interviews pro bono.

[@user-zv7lm8uk7h]

umm.... some people dont want to play bars, they want to buy a house and buy nice equipment and make the music they want ot make. A person playing in a sh i t t y club or bar to a bunch of drunk millenials and high people to me is not successful, but thats just me. What do I know!@@Alex-pe7yw
