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!

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

[@erikrisoraudio5581]

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

[@TimmyOzman]

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

[@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.

[@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! :-)

[@boomerdell]

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

[@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!

[@reubenkincaidband9781]

Lari is the greatest thing to happen for us guitarists!

[@Jayyy_Wav]

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 🙌🏻

[@jasonjohnson4170]

Lari is always in the moment when she plays

[@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

[@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.

[@TreenighetMaranata]

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

[@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?

[@piotrjachym8126]

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

[@LuizCarlosfrancodesousa]

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

[@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!

[@leecollins8051]

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

[@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. :)

[@wonkastudio-johnny]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 ¡¡¡

[@corbinm5237]

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

[@gregglockhart9551]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@rodrigocmusic]

Lari is one of the best ! Brazilian Pride

[@yohanonshine4664]

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

[@KyleNoelMusic]

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

[@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/

[@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.

[@BradColemanisHere]

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

[@dmmjq2]

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

[@TheOdieD3]

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

[@matsedin5509]

Loved the show Tyler! I'm impressed you kept so cool!😝

[@jkinthewind]

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

[@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 :-)

[@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!

[@juanduplays]

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

[@SidFi20]

She’s so cool. Nice having her join the series.

[@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:)

[@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.

[@overdriveguitarchannel3403]

Such an infectious smile....

[@PerJohansson-Xeizo]

The Algoritm gave me this channel, but it's great, fun guitarsy stuff. Well done, Tyler I believe. Lari was great to see, a pack of dynamite so happy all the time and a killer player!

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

[@staystrongjoseph]

Such a humble woman.

[@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!

[@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

[@nsiderultimaseth]

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

[@ericwright3646]

this is my favorite thing on the internet

[@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.

[@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 🤘🎸

[@williamcampbell7387]

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

[@martinfanatic532]

Doesn't Plini also bend the G string downward? I remember seeing that while learning Selenium Forest. I'm starting to switch to bending down too, currently I only bend down for fast vibratos since it's easier that way.

[@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!!

[@johnmoser2689]

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

[@TheStrick1976]

excellent episode.

[@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

[@banalpedant41]

That purple passion between the lines on the road to stardom,the color of success, great interview, great lady, beautiful smile and a fantastic guitarist.

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

[@AneeseJemarcus]

The intro at 1:20 reminded me of logging on to RuneScape

[@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.

[@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 😂

[@dashcamcalifornia5003]
