It was great to chat with you Tyler! Thanks for having me! :)

😃

[@LydianMelody]

Thank you for being such an inspiration for me! You’re a master and your joy when you play is infectious! Bless you, shred goddess!!

[@chrisr530]

Awesome interview Lari, thx for all you do and the music you give us!

[@neogilmour8603]

Get married together

[@curtvona4891]

You are a talented and delightful person.

[@gustavoguerraguitarrista]

Wow, I'm very happy you follow my work, Tyler. You're a great inspiration for a lot of guitarists out there, and you're creating awesome content. Thank you so much for mentioning my name on the interview with Lari. All the best!

[@cauamanente1268]

GG tá internacional. Te admiro muito GG, obrigado por me inspirar

[@edwayward]

GG e Jorge (LOL), agora internacionais !

[@stop736]

I love your channel Gustavo!!! How can someone not recognize you and your talent!! Tyler is awesome to of course but I love your music as well!!! I hope after seeing this that some other people check your work out, you deserve all the recognition and praise that you get and you deserve even more!!! Keep posting videos bud!!! You got a lot of fans that love watching you channel! 👍👍💪💪

[@luigi2975]

Gustavo you’re the only one that can play Satriani in the right way. No one. Only you and Joe.

[@lemartin93]

Lari is such a unique player, she constantly blows my mind with her playing. One of my favourite guitarists currently for sure.

[@thirdtrumpet4446]

...c'mon guys, Lari is SO GORGEOUS OMG. Of course, not to forget her playing, one of my favorites, long time

[@TimmyOzman]

Lari's wonderful smile would be a great cure for anyone in depression :)

[@erikrisoraudio5581]

Lari's solo was like someone singing their best melody ever. Nice one.

[@iggyfritz7150]

Lari, you are the definition of what makes a great guitarist I can feel everything you play. You invoke emotions that is the most difficult.

[@Jason-kv7cm]

I met her at NAMM in Anaheim last year before sh*t hit the fan and I saw her walking around the Laney section and I was so afraid to approach at first not knowing if she’d get annoyed or something but I went for it and she was so nice and humble! Was lucky enough to get a pic with her and hear her play at the Yamaha stage 🙌🏻

[@Newbyrock23]

Lari is an absolute monster player. And that smile says it all. She's the real deal

[@bensepulveda71]

Her smile and personality are as amazing as her playing.

[@miljac5084]

I can hardly imagine Lari as a lawyer giving a final word in a court on some trial, but I can easily imagine her filling a hall or even stadium with guitar lovers and raising them on their feet by the end of the show. Just continue Lari, your newest pieces are really masterpieces! :-)

[@reubenkincaidband9781]

Lari is the greatest thing to happen for us guitarists!

[@jasonjohnson4170]

Lari is always in the moment when she plays

[@boomerdell]

Lari Basilio is so dang amazing!!! Thanks for having her on as a guest, Tyler. Excellent choice.

[@curiositydivine]

I pull down on the G string too. Comes naturally.

[@Exsomos]

I never had formal lessons and started playing before KZbin and back when MTV actually played Music Videos. So i never even knew that was "wrong". And like Lori, until someone pointed it out, and i still do it. I do both actually. I don't hear a different in sound or tone or anything with bending the G down vs up, does anyone else hear a difference???

[@VSNxx]

@@Exsomos It is not wrong, just different, not wrong.

[@daubeny2911]

@@Exsomos it doesn't do a different sound, it's just more practical for a lot of stuff, like double stop bends and some common licks. Also I think it makes more sense to bend the high strings by pulling up and the lower strings by pulling down, but that's just me.

[@sagetx]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Heeey - yo!

[@edwayward]

I love Lari, she is so talented, so cute, move me to other dimensions with her music, and he forgot that Kiko Loureiro of Megadeth is the most famous Brazilian guitarist nowadays, what can I do?

[@chrisr530]

THANK YOU Tyler!!! Lari is currently my favorite player, her sense of melody is just incredible. I hope she keeps getting more recognized in the community, she definitely deserves it!

[@powerslaveraimon]

She is SO lovely! Thanks!

[@nanogamerzzz]

Haken's Richard Henshall bends downwards too sometimes, he said it was a habit from when he first learned guitar and he still does it now.

[@shop970]

How can it be that one person has so much going on? Dream girl. Stunning smile and personality. From the stars! Wow. Most of us won't reach this level! How can somebody be so easy going & be incredible? Lari is phenomenal! Just immediately impossible that you could ever see guitar the same again! Or see another woman like Lari. Beauty. Music. Happy. And magic come together like we've never seen before! Look at "man in the mirror" from Lari! She's a pro that changed the way we see real musicianship coming back! Talent exudes from this artist.

[@MikeSalopek]

Thank you for doing this, lari there's one of my favorite current guitar players. But she will never be a villain in my book hahaha

[@LuizCarlosfrancodesousa]

Muito bom a Lari é muito talentosa! Orgulho para nós brasileiros! 🔥❤🇧🇷❤🔥

[@leecollins8051]

Lari is absolutely amazing, she's such a wonderful person as well as one of the the best female guitarist around ❤️

[@ReasonableRam]

If I can get away with bending down, I will do it every time. My up bending is far inferior to my down bending technique. I can vibrato like crazy with ease when going down, but my vibrato is terrible when bending up. This is pertaining to vibrato at the top of a bend.

[@PAul.paUL.PaUL.]

Same thing here. Bending down is more powerful in my opinion and feels better

[@PAul.paUL.PaUL.]

@@jaidyn1376 On B and E I bend up, but on G,D,A,E I bend down

[@PAul.paUL.PaUL.]

@@jaidyn1376 I am like that too. To be honest, I'm more of a rhythm guitarist but some simple rock solos are just fun to play

[@bleromafia]

i always bend up on a specific way, no matter what string i play on. I do it to give a vibrato feel and i only target like microtones above the note i would play.

[@shredderloki7565]

@@bleromafia So you bend up on the low E string also?

[@KyleNoelMusic]

Lari is also a lawyer in Brazil! Passed the bar exam and everything

[@anirudhganesh]

It's awesome to see Lari here!! I can see mark tremonti being here in the near future!! now that you have your own prs, it should be fun to see mark here!

[@primoparadero6609]

I've always loved being immersed in the midst of two Masters in conversation. You Lari (by the way - I love your work; awesome compositions and performances) and Tyler were so awesome to watch. I love music and would love to learn how to really play good someday. I have no doubt that I will pick up many good lessons from you both. Keep up the great work you two. Love watching more of these conversations. I had a wonderful time learning from two Masters, you Lari and Tyler, rock! Thank you both. :)

[@piotrjachym8126]

Gosh, I've waited for this episde since forever!

[@TreenighetMaranata]

14:04 - 14:28 Changes with own dynamic feel, so nice! 😊 ❤

[@sumanchowdhury6162]

Lari's solo is like surfing, up and down, never monotonous journey on desert.

[@garyweber8201]

Her smile is infectious!

[@neogilmour8603]

Damn that guitar intro is f**cin’ MASTERPEACE ¡¡¡

[@MrAyla]

I bend my g both ways too. If you’re using heavier strings bending down gives you a bit more strength. Bending up let’s you hit the high strings. So it’s situational. I developed this technique trying to play big bends on acoustic guitar. Great interview.

[@corbinm5237]

Easily my favorite guitarist ever 🤘 Lari Basilio is fantastic!!!!

[@brunogaldino151]

C’mon Tyler! Kiko Loureiro, Andreas Kisser, Mateus Asato…

[@Zwellop]

I'm sure he'll get there eventually. Have patience buddy :p

[@georgegaleridis1552]

Its a comment towards when Tyler was thinking about Brazilian guitar players and came up with just one other name, he didn't mean "when are u gonna bring those to the show"

[@Zwellop]

@@georgegaleridis1552 Ah ok my bad, I didnt watch the whole thing yet.

[@FriendlyFireM098]

Oh, definitely Mateus Asato. I bet Tyler will be starting off the video by gawking at Mateus’s skills.

[@KristianLamar]

@All About Guitars he was burned out and lost inspiration during the pandemic and lockdown, feeling like his whole musical world was boxed into little 30/60 second clip (Instagram) and didn’t feel like it was real music. Also feeling like once he started doing them he had to keep it up, and the pressure of doing something he didn’t want to do made him just out the guitar down all together. Then he went back to family in Brasil and was locked down there. He’s back making a few things but it’s all through other pages/profiles. I hope he puts all of his social media accounts/pages back up!

[@williamcampbell7387]

The "wrong" G-string bend is a pantherine crouch before the pounce. Thought it might go another way.

[@yohanonshine4664]

Lari is such a smooth player . The variations lend way to interesting melodic but not conformed by tradition. Mucho gusto

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

I actually voted her solo the best on that colab. The bends and the tone were on point.

[@guitarfanatic2000]

Great interview. Lari is a true gem.

[@cwize]

She has that style where you think “hey, that doesn’t sound that difficult” Until you try to play it! She’s melodic, and so varied in her choices. Didn’t know if her until today! Congrats on the signature Ibanez (I went and watched the demo vids - that guitar IS versatile. So many tones.) Wow.

[@howardellismusic]

Love your content. On the Lari 3rd string bend thing. I've been doing it all my life, i thought it was the way. didn't realize till now that it's 'different'. Love Lari by the way. Love the double bend she does in a run.

[@cisco680]

I bend down too. In fact, I found it more natural as well. I had to teach myself to bend up on the G string. I still feel more comfortable bending down.

[@TheOdieD3]

She is a “villainous “ genius! So very fun. Hey! More excellent women guitar musicians! So happy you had her on

[@ondinnonk]

Please get Andy James on this show! I only just discovered him and am mad I haven't known! Lol thanks for this series, great interview w Lari

[@thaddaeuspremkumar3560]

ayyy, its cool that you discovered Andy James! he's so cool. :D would love to see him on Guitar Villains soon for sure!

[@wonkastudio-johnny]

as a guitarist i respect and admire her to the max !

[@dmmjq2]

Great interview she's such a nice person .. and a great musician

Bosa Nova has some of the most exquisite guitar I ever heard.

[@rodrigocmusic]

Lari is one of the best ! Brazilian Pride

[@jimfreyler2944]

She's awesome. One of a kind player. Would love to meet her someday.

[@krokovay.marcell]

I bend the G string downward, too! It’s just much more controlled that way, no clash into the upper neighbour, etc. Great episode altogether:)

[@jaimomo65]

Lari Basilio es quizás la mejor guitarrista de toda la historia.... tiene un gusto, una sensibilidad y un sentido del ritmo, que la colocan entre los 100 mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos... y aún es muy joven :-) Lari Basilio is perhaps the best female guitarist in all of history ... she has a taste, a sensitivity and a sense of rhythm, which place her among the 100 best guitarists of all time ... and she is still very young :-)

[@JerryT21]

Beautiful lady , Badass guitarist and Sophisticated Composer.☮

[@satch606]

I remember commenting to Lari one one of her videos the she is the only other guitarist I know that bends the G that way. I've always done that one string that way.

[@juanduplays]

Tyler, the production on these podcasts is superb! Lari is a great prodigy that inspires me with every note! Kudos!

[@gregglockhart9551]

Thank you for the interview! Very entertaining! I loved it!

[@stanphillips7277]

I really found her charismatic and humility is a big part of that. Zach Wilde was charismatic also but not as easy on the eyes. She's got such a beautiful smile and that cute little accent...man she's talented right? Nice job conducting these Interviews Tyler. Keep these villains coming man. The time just flies by. You never forget to keep it entertaining. I really hadn't ever heard of her so thanks for turning me on to her playing. She's amazing! I bend my g string up, but I've done half step bends down at times when it felt right. I've also bent my high E down and off the fretboard entirely. It's not the best way to mute the string in my opinion 😂🎸 Keep em comin' man!

[@felixplaza823]

Lari is such a GREAT guitar player and a very nice and humble person as well. Thank you both for sharing this with us. Tyler what you do is also GREAT, both spreading guitar knowledge into the world and as a player as well. Thanks! Rock on!!! \m/

[@jkinthewind]

I had Far More on repeat for a month. It's packed with talent including Lari!

[@BradColemanisHere]

Deeeeelightful. She is so good. Thanks for sharing her music talent with us.

[@aaronsmithey4044]

Jimi Hendrix "Gypsy Eyes" he bends the G-String down in his phrasing. Lari definitely makes killer phrasing this way. I have one "lick" that I use this way, now I will do more. Thanks for this Lari you inspire!

[@robn.7426]

How did I not know about Lari Basilio?? Phenomenal player and composer.

[@jasonmyers3847]

AMS. Where I recently bought my first Gibson Les Paul. I bought a translucent cherry Classic, from them. It sure is nice making monthly payments I can afford on such an awesome guitar! As soon as it was no longer on backorder, AMS shipped it to me directly! Would I recommend AMS to my friends and family? YES!!

[@benbenben279]

Never thought I’d see Tyler talk about lipstick and it not being lipstick pickups

[@wilsonsguitarlounge8244]

I bend the G down too, its way more comfortable. I also sometimes bend the B string down if I'm only bending it a half step

[@staystrongjoseph]

Such a humble woman.

[@nsiderultimaseth]

40:40 I was thinking the same thing! Ibanez has had by far the most representation on this show. You also had Tim Henson and Joe Satriani before. Just shows how good a job they do picking their players!

[@randomguitarguy5906]

Steve vai

@@randomguitarguy5906 He mentioned Steve Vai in the video. But that was definitely my favorite episode so far!

1st string is the only string I always bend upwards. I bend 2nd downwards sometimes, and 3rd is almost always downwards. I can't help it. :D

[@johnmoser2689]

Wow I don't know how I missed her solo or your collaboration video

[@PaleCaretaker]

Looking on how many great guitarists is on YT, we gonna have quite a few John Mayers in the future. And i bet Lari will accomplish alot. This girl have awesome skills 🤘🎸

[@freakalishess]

As a self-taught guitar player I've always bent the G string down until I saw this video, now I find myself doing both up and down because every time I bend it down I remember this video and do the next bend up 😂

[@sagetx]

The color of her Ibanez is Violet. Perfectly in line with the Poison Ivy character!

[@marctoleds6259]

Nothing to do with this girl's guitar style, but when you're emulating Albert Kings's bending technic, you'll end up bending the G string downwards to get a fat sounding, full 2 tone bend and release with lots of vibrato.

[@maverickdoe6984]

My first thought for here supervillain doppelganger was The Joker...'cuz she's always got that smile :-D Love Lari! She's so much fun to watch and listen to playing guitar.

Love Lari... fun interview.

[@ashishvivian2224]

you DO Not need much theory?? YES!!! I know my theory very very well. And I AGREE!!

[@MrTonicAmps]

Bending down has its own sound. Albert King is a great example of how cool it sounds. Cool enough for Hendrix and SRV to cop that style.

[@ImNotOld_ImVintage]

I love Lari. I didn't know why you classified her as a villain, but then we learned she's a lawyer... A lawyer with a signature guitar. Everything about that is awesome.. almost as awesome as her playing.
