Covet - Shibuya (guitar playthrough)

[@emanonymous]

every new video i see yvette she looks better- the technique, the songwriting, the style, the fresh tats, the hair. it's like i'm watching the metamorphosis of a rockstar

[@bonaneeb2830]

No kidding man, she's definitely going down in history as one of the greatest.

[@moki2093]

@Zen Kuroi if you do in fact enjoy something created by your favorite musicians/content creators, you should be inspired if you want to play/produce like them Practicing is the #1 answer

[@RozoTheGreat]

@Zen Kuroi honestly I had a similar gut reaction watching her play but after actually giving it a whole 2 hours it turns out the main riff isn't that hard. Learn to play some of your favorite artists' work, if not even just for a couple seconds and you'll get a great window into how much you can improve. Good thing is there's tutorials out for this song too!

[@gregbatchelor9205]

@Zen Kuroi don't be disheartened, and never compare yourself to others - we're all different. Nobody else in the world will ever sound like Yvette, and that's okay. The trick is to find the spark of your own groove whatever that is, and when you do find it, work like a madman on it. The time's gonna pass, either way.

[@gregbatchelor9205]

@Zen Kuroi I'm no expert, but I do believe in comparing yourself to who you were a year ago - the truth is if you work at something consistently on a regular basis, but if after a year or two you think you see no improvement whatsoever, and above all if you're not enjoying what you're doing and it is only stressful, maybe ask yourself whether you need to adapt and try a different style? There's no point banging your head against a brick wall dude.

[@MiceAl487]

The riff at 0:47 really stuck with me ever since I saw her play it in one of her practice vids some 3 years ago. Fast forward to 2020, I have Spotify radio on, so it's playing songs I haven't heard yet, right? Imagine my surprise when the Shibuya riff starts playing-I had no idea Covet even existed and that they recorded this. I had actual goosebumps the moment I heard the riff again after so long-properly recorded this time-and got so flipping emotional. It was such a wonderful experience. Thank you so much for sharing your art with us, Yvette.

[@nuggzay8556]

Wow this riff makes me emotional as well. Idk why but its just so fucking amazing. Thanks yvette

[@doofportal]

i absolutely love this comment

[@danwindsor3054]

I'm kinda the same, saw her play a while ago on Facebook and i was like damn shes pretty good, and recently i made a guitar playlist and i added her songs in not even knowing it was actually her and I've only just found out watching this video that its her and this is like the best song on the playlist.

[@SpineRipper93]

Same here! Saw the practice video a few years ago and every once in a while I hear it in my head and "sing" it out loud. It's extremely infectious.

[@tshred666]

Too bad math rock doesn’t have much mainstream appeal. Musicians like you are truly dedicated to the craftsmanship of not only playing your instrument but also to songwriting. Y’all deserve more financial success honestly.

[@PaulVRo]

she is way more than your average math-rock musician, she is quite unique, beyond technique

[@Nswix]

Its definitely a niche. Like all those boring art films I don't understand, this goes over most people's heads.

[@paulies5407]

Meh, you don't need to be mainstream to make a half decent living. I'm sure they do fine

Her fingers are just flying across the fretboard so effortlessly. Tapping, jumping, playing. Good God. Her fingers looks so perfect just sliding around the fretboard. Effortlessly intricate! It's like she's lovingly caressing the guitar and it's making these wonderful beautiful sounds. I'm in absolute awe.

I've been listening to Yvette since her first acoustic ep. I was instantly blown away by her musical abilities and lovely singing voice. She's only gotten better since then which is a little difficult to comprehend considering she was already such a beast. And her band, Covet, was so good live I literally started crying. What an incredible artist.

[@Jann-Aron]

I’m just mesmerized by how the dancing of her fingers are just as much of the art as the music itself. I’m in wonderment over the whole visual delivery here. It’s as if she transcended to who she was always meant to be in this very small clip of her life playing guitar out in the meadow.

[@versai3665]

That riff at 0:47 has been one that I always came back to. Could only find it on your practice videos on Instagram and Facebook, you've n idea how happy it makes me to hear it now

[@deanroddey2881]

Good on you, young lady. The dedication to the craft is obvious. I love the style which is a really even mixture of finger style and two handed technique. It allows for a lot of diversity and complexity. I also like the combination of jazzy bits with very shoegazy, languid bits.

[@ianangello9577]

I don't care what anyone says there are other talented guitarists, yes, but none other like Yvette Young with her own style like this. It's phenomenal.

[@keykiyox]

My old friend used to play Talman, cheap version. He loved it so much he bought extra one. I never imagined seeing Talman again but with this great result. The sound it produces is stunning. Could be a hidden gem? Never thought that way. My friend’s Talman costed less than 300 dollars.

[@flynn_22]

Hey can you do a rundown of your guitar set up (amps guitar and pedals if you use them)

[@joenamredla]

Yvette recently started posting short videos on her Instagram showing some of the pedals she uses and how she sets them up. As far as amps are concerned, I believe she uses a Vox most of the time although I'm not 100% sure what model (idk a lot about clean amps lol).

[@Tenchio]

It's a Vox AC30, through an Orange cab. As for the pedalboard, her latest setup (mind you I don't know the signal chain order) is: Korg Pitchblack Tuner, MXR Bass Octave, a buffer pedal, Earthquaker The Warden, some big grey pedal (probably a drive), Zvex Instant LoFi Junky, Way Huge Supa Puss, Ditto Looper, Strymon Blue Sky, MXR Carbon Copy Deluxe

[@kikanjuuneko]

The grey drive is probably the Horizon Precision Drive, I've seen her testimonials for it.

[@kikanjuuneko]

Indrayan Chatterjee Strange, what pedal do I have then? 🤔🤔🤔

[@mrgonflables]

I'm glad people have been able to piece together her rig, but I'd still love to see a proper rig rundown video. =)

[@juanpgomez1299]

What is wrong with 8 strings tho?

[@venahtmusic]

@@juanpgomez1299 They're expensive haha. I play guitar too and whenever I'm learning new styles of playing I prefer to do so through learning someone else's song that I like and practicing it until I got the technique down so I can implement it into my own song writing. A lot of these really technical players are playing on 7 or 8 string guitars which means I can't learn their songs since I don't own one and I don't have the desire at the moment to buy one. With this song I know its possible to play on a 6 string so if I really committed to it I could learn this.
