Marissa Paternoster: “My Secret Weapon Is My Unrelenting Anxiety!”

Plus, her “incredibly boring” guitar mods and what may well be the world’s most road-worn delay pedal.

Marissa is a exceptionally gifted musician and I think one of the best guitarist around.

[@RyanSmolko]

It's a display of force to watch her play. I've never seen anyone own a stage like her. Thanks for doing this PG!

[@Kitzy]

I never got into Screaming Females’ records, but I recently was fortunate enough to do sound for them for a livestream and absolutely fell in love with them as a live band. I spent the whole show in absolute awe of Marissa’s playing.

[@UncleRalphABQ]

I was blown away by Marissa Paternoster when I saw the version of "Because the Night" that Screaming Females did with Garbage and then again when Screaming Females did a cover of Sheryl Crow's "If It Makes You Happy," but it was their rig rundown with Premier Guitar that established her as someone I really genuinely like as a person as well as a musician.

[@A2Z83]

screaming females has been my favorite band in the last decade.

[@totallybasicyoutubechannel]

marissa is a living legend

[@mctape]

simply one of the very best players alive.

[@bdecorsey]

I like this series and this is the best one of these yet. So real and honest, Marissa is the greatest. And such an incredible player.

[@RMGuitar123]

I wasn't familiar with Nina Nastasia "Dogs". Enjoying it based on Marissa's recommendation.

[@briantrela8883]

you go, soul-sis!

[@shiftybat7318]

My first axe was a Fender Jazz bass my friend sold to me for much the same reason and it's still my go-to two decades later. It's a truly lucky thing to find love that quickly.

[@shiftybat7318]

And man, do I love my Boss pedals

[@blessedheavyelements8544]

Best Regards Marissa! Best Wishes for 2022!!

[@TNNLZ]

Really enjoyed this one - That DD-6 is so cool with all it’s wear and tear.

[@ZacVaper]

Happy Christmas, one and all.

[@keith-kb1zl]

I’m a sucker for a girl that can shred on guitar. her sex life is none of our business. she seems to be so laid back and not full of herself.keep on rocking on.!

[@thomaswallace7580]

Dear Tenement, WE MISS YOU

[@ahtech1990]

Always love seeing seeing the screamales on here. Great band.

[@shovington67]

I'm sorry Marissa, and I feel angry as a man that other men make you feel talked down too. I think your playing is wonderful.

[@hanskung3278]

Id like to know the G&L model

[@keith-kb1zl]

I know a girl that is a lead guitarist played in bands for years and said that there’s a lot of sexism in the music industry and men don’t take her talent seriously they just look on her as a sex symbol that happens to be a great guitar player/musician these guys feel intimidated by a woman who can outplay them.. she’s always fighting off dudes in clubs after gigs and other male musicians.

[@seanbrooks2583]

I get what she means about men putting her down in the gear/guitar culture. I stay away from all of that stuff because of the same reason, and i'm a dude. Theres a few youtubers that i follow, but if i post that i like the wrong pedal on r/guitar people act like i spit in their face.

[@dknstrkt]

Her last name is the lords prayer. Go Jesus!

[@annanimmitty4098]

Indeed it is - as far as it pertains to the Roman Catholic Church that is!! In regards to others, the term/word refers to an elevator... pa·ter·nos·ter /ˈpadərˌnästər,ˈpädərˌnästər noun noun: paternoster; plural noun: paternosters; noun: paternoster lift; plural noun: paternoster lifts 1. (in the Roman Catholic Church) the Lord's Prayer, especially in Latin. (any of a number of special beads. occurring at regular intervals in a rosary, indicating that the Lord's Prayer is to be recited.) 2. an elevator consisting of a series of linked doorless compartments moving continuously on an endless belt. But now as far as "Miss Paternoster" is concerned, IMHO she F'n ROCKS, and I totally dig her!! She is AWESOME No Doubt!!

[@sunshinedewes4277]

They are the problem all around in every aspect of life. Not relevant to my life.

[@mbsnyderc]

Yet you felt like sharing that with everybody that doesn't care.

[@GoDrex]

I love her music but the anti male stuff is such a drag

[@pageluvva]

Agree. So dumb to be lumped all together.

[@Holden-C.]

Also, maybe she should learn about her gear if she wants to be included

[@seanbrooks2583]

she said theres plenty of men in her life that helped her and were nice to her... her main band is her and 2 dudes.

[@GoDrex]

"I have friends that are male"

[@mbsnyderc]

@@Holden-C. Your gear isn't that important.

[@Paul-dw2cl]

The ‘I hate men’ comment of hers makes me want to piss her off by telling her she’s pretty good for a girl but she should wear makeup next time

[@mads-madas]

Are you triggered?

[@shipyardskater99]

Paul you sound like a horrible person

[@mads-madas]

@@shipyardskater99 I don't think he's horrible, he's got his opinions but we'll love him anyway

[@A2Z83]

not a surprising comment on youtube

[@Holden-C.]

Lol.. Shes such a whiner. She feels she isn't being included in the guitar conversation, while being interviewed by Premier Guitar. Makes me like her music less.

[@Holden-C.]

" I'm not included in guitar culture" " yeah, I dont even know what model guitar i play" Maybe you're not included because you're clueless. Also, isn't she being interviewed by Premier Guitar?

[@seanbrooks2583]

For being a player, not a gear head.

[@coreytohme9861]

She's not the only one, and I am extremely detail oriented, but it blows me away when people don't even know what they have in their hands even though they use it every day. If G&L gives you a guitar, the least you can do is remember what model it is. Last time I checked, G&L doesn't make Stratocasters.

[@ahiwalter9153]

@coreytohme9861 Don’t be facetious lol, even Leo himself said G&L was a continuation of his work & development, call it an s-type or whatever you want, but a strat is a strat regardless of who makes it lol
