I've been trying to understand what kind of sorcery is going on with her right hand for years! Thank you Gabriela, Joe, and Reverb SOOOO much for this!

[@ahtech1990]

I always loved her playing, and this is a great treat for me personally!

[@theTrend7]

What an awesome video. I have the priviledge of seeing them live and...what an awesome experience.

[@ultramanj]

This is blowing my mind, very cool.

[@AlexMusicOvery]

[@Riddlemewalker]

Cool insights into a great player!

[@Updog89]

WOW 🤩. She’s incredible!

[@KC3UVF]

I saw Rod and Gabriela back in the pre-covid days. She is superhuman.

[@Guitarisforgrins]

She's incredible

[@knucklesprayer]

I need a part two with more advanced stuff and a real ACOUSTIC PLAYER to try it! But love these videos, funny how you swipe... Those Gibsons look pretty but... learn her style on a steel strings guitar?

[@michaelsedgwick7907]

I have the same headstock tuner as her. So far, it’s not made me play the same way. Dammit TC Electronic!

[@OrangeNash]

Appreciated! Just a note, might be something for others to watch, too. Make sure to put more into the wrist movement, not so much from the base of the thumb joint!

[@ZenMountain]

Yes, there's a way: just practice.

[@Zitroe45]

Well, that escalated quickly

[@HartWill]

A gibson commercial ?

[@Mister.Elbecko]

Ridiculous

[@williams8664]

Love this - looks so easy until you try
