Thank you so much!

[@chrisdubay02]

That was so good, how long have you been playing? With and without lessons? I'm nowhere near this ability

[@AlexandraZernerRocks]

Thank you vey much! I started in 1988 with classical guitar and switched to electric in 1992. I had many teachers and I tried to take the best of them all. I think having a good teacher is very important and saves a lot of time and frustration, especially nowadays with all those tutorials and courses everywhere. All of my guitar students came to me after getting stuck in the "tutorial hell" and ended up on the verge of giving up. If you're interested, I have a couple of free slots: www.alexandrazerner.com/skype-guitar-lessons/

[@chrisdubay02]

@@AlexandraZernerRocks I'm definitely not giving up in any way, I love to play, but I'm definitely hitting a plateau

[@5zazen]

This is extremely difficult, the timing and the memorization of the parts. I bet if you wanted you could play guitar left handed as well. Its fun playing right handed one day then playing the left handed guitar the next. Well done on your work!

[@AlexandraZernerRocks]

It's very difficult indeed - it required a lot of work. By the bye, I am left-handed but it had always made more sense to me to play like right-handed. I made a video on the topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5ewfGmfd759eqc

[@burningtl]

That was too good. . .fk it I quit

[@AlexandraZernerRocks]

Thank you so much, but please, don't quit :) If I had to quit every time I get impressed by a guitarist, you would never see this video here. And in case you need a teacher, I offer online lessons: www.alexandrazerner.com/skype-guitar-lessons/

How many parts to this song did you have to play individually Alex.

[@AlexandraZernerRocks]

What do you mean? There are 3 guitar parts and I played them all the way you see in the video.

[@marchofthepurplegoats5282]

....is that an 8 string nylon?

[@AlexandraZernerRocks]

Yes. It's an Ortega - I made a review of it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/honIiJeZgpqXqLM

[@TheRoker28]

tuning guitar E minor?

[@AlexandraZernerRocks]

It's a standard half-step down tuning.

[@TheRoker28]

@@AlexandraZernerRocks thank you)

[@rummi72]

Hello Alexandra. Great job, it's nice to keep track of your ongoing progress. Perhaps the use of metal strings would add more expressiveness. Nylon strings are not bad, but somewhat restrained, in my opinion. But it's still very cool. I always put "like" to your video at first, and then listen it. Nevertheless, my favorite is your first album, "9 Stories". It is the most sincere, albeit less polished both in performance and in recording. Exactly how I remember 80's rock music. Thank You.

[@AlexandraZernerRocks]

Thanks! The original recording is with a nylon-string guitar and I wanted to make it as close as possible to the original.

[@rummi72]

​@@AlexandraZernerRocks All the more it would be interesting to hear this track as it has never sounded before. The added sustain from the metal strings would further emphasize your unique pitch. Of course the owner is a master, and this is just my personal vision, nothing more. In any case, I like your work and of course I accept it as it is. Thanks a lot and good luck.

[@burningtl]

On an 8 string acoustic no less wtf

[@AlexandraZernerRocks]

Well, I play almost exclusively on 8-string guitars so I am used to them :)

[@kangelidis]

Awesome. One small thing i want to say though is that i get annoyed with the "femaleguitarist" hash. There are no genders in music, you are a guitarist.

[@AlexandraZernerRocks]

Thanks! I agree - it's annoying but it's a marketing necessity... :(

[@angelito5322]

Beautiful
