[@lrvogt1257]

I think Tina S's purpose was just to demonstrate her technical virtuosity for fun. She wasn't fronting a band in these videos as a young teenager. She's clearly mastered many techniques of many outstanding metal players and does it so effortlessly. That's called doing your homework. As of 2023 she's in a band, Spin Twice, and is doing her own thing with this knowledge and expertise.

[@Biomirth]

Maybe. I think you're on the right track at least. She's not showing off, or trying to become famous, or anything like that. My take would be that she loves the challenge, pure and simple. For some musicians those 2nd latency years (12-16 or so) can be another acceleration of improvement. For the truly talented and dedicated it can become a bit of an addiction. Imagine if every other time you sat down to practice you were already better than before? You know mountaineers were asked "Why did you climb it when it was so difficult?" "Because it was there". Something like that happens with artistic talent, particularly in music (which has mathematical and memory elements as well as technique and emotionality). My guess is, if you asked her why she did it she'd say "My teacher was cool and it was a challenge, so I tried it".

I mean, the music itself as she plays it is full of passion. People who say shit like this think an argument isn't convincing unless someone is angry. Just listen to her if you can't see her passion (I sure can). Tell me after just listening that it doesn't have passion. I'll be waiting. Yes, there are lots of studio musicians who can cover and somehow remove the soul from things, but this is definitely not one of those cases. There isn't a piece she's covered that isn't as impassioned as the original itself, which is why people love her.

I get this all the time when people tell jokes to me. No, I'm not laughing. Yes, I thought the joke was funny. I don't show emotions. Sue me.

Yeah those people are idiots. She's playing to one person filming her, not a stadium.

[@monocyte2210]

Theres also a guitar player in our local scene who plays killer solos but zero emotion. Hes just like that most of the time. It doesnt mean hes not a happy dude

[@ardh0]

I agree with you there buddy

[@EvieDelacourt]

THIS! From her body language, my guess is that she's an introvert. A strong introvert might feel something very deeply on the inside, but not be very "showy" about their emotions on the outside. (My God, if I only had a dollar for every time someone assumed I was "calm" or "bored" or "unemotional" when I was a roiling mass of emotions on the inside!) But I can see her enjoyment in those small head bobs and tiny shifts of expression as she plays, not to mention that no one devotes as much time to learning how to play something this difficult with this much skill unless they are passionate about it in the first place. Also, girls and young women tend to be under a lot more societal pressure to smile all the freaking time in order to "look pretty" for others, and not bending to that pressure can get one labeled as "cold" or "bitchy." Again, that might be less of a problem for a girl who more naturally shows her emotions, including happiness, on the outside and tends to smile more, but it can be hell on a girl who internalizes her feelings but is constantly bombarded by messaging that she has to constantly smile and look pretty/pleasant for other people's pleasure in order to be accepted and not seen as somehow cold or antisocial.

This is just incredible. Equally incredible is just how down-to-earth Herman Li is. He could easily be upset about what people do with the music he helped to create, but instead, he promotes young and upcoming guitarists and tells them to keep on doing this and post it on his youtube channel. Honestly just a wholesome guy, my hat's off to both him and the incredible guitarist who made this cover.

[@liliIiliIilil]

My understanding is that they give not just publicity, but if the copyright holder claims a video, the uploader can just allow all revenue generated from the video to be given to the copyright holder, so they are actually making the rights holders more money.

[@Garbox80]

@@liliIiliIilil That's how it is at least with the reaction video scene. Which to me is kind of sad, because if the content creator is good and gets a lot of views, they've made a lot of PR for the band. At least split the revenue (as some publishers do I've heard). And it's the publishers usually, not the bands.

It's a natural metronome and doesn't even go wrong with the glissandos. She is perfect. She doesn't even look at the fretboard of the guitar. She just plays! In "Arpeggios from hell" by Yngwie Malmsteen. Malmsteen sweats, Tina plays it while chewing gum of course.

So refreshing to see an artist encouraging people to engage with his music and not trying to close things down. I came to Dragonforce through the Tina S version of this song. Obviously the artists have to develop the song and write the tunes so their talent is incredible. Tina S does an amazing job at recreating the guitar sound but the original song is just unbelievably good. Mr Li deserves enormous credit for his reaction to Tina S, for giving her positive feedback and for explaining how to try to do the same.

And so graceful in your evaluation of the cover, you are more than qualified to give pointers since you wrote the track mate. Top marks from a true fan of Guitar licks.
