Nita is AWESOME!!

[@squeedum4893]

The difference in fame and notoriety between these two doesn't even factor into how humble and relatable they both are. Nita jamming on the biggest stages in front of the biggest crowds while Mary is this grass roots YT musician. Yet they both seem so approachable. Great interview. Great connection.

[@tritontransport]

Your post is a couple years old but i met Nita Strauss a week ago and your assumption that she is approachable is very accurate. She is humble, down to earth, and has a good sense of humor as well: I’ve met quite a few rock and metal stars and she has by far been the most laid back and genuine one ever

[@playAgainMe]

Nita's playing and energy will take you back to the days of shred.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Awesome looking guitar! I want one. Nita Strauss is the real deal and I love Ibanez guitars

[@werdna_sir]

She's a cool chick. Good to see you on the guitar channels, MJR.

[@andrij.demianczuk]

I love your games videos. Have you ever thought about profiling your axe(s) or rig on your channel? We catch a small glimpse of you rocking out in your intros and would love to see more!

[@Durfit]

I found MJR!

[@alvildeshirven3571]

Two of my idols who I had never thought would end up getting along and making a video together. Polar opposite musical styles, but both undeniably extremely talented.

[@VictorianRecords]

I've really been impressed by Nita. She also seems very down to earth. Thanks for having her on Tuesday Talks!

[@giltyakhtar]

I need someone to look at me like how Nita looks at her guitar

[@mrscary3105]

You need your own signature. "Spender Bender" suggested name. :)

[@gerryjamesedwards1227]

Not the "Spender Penny"?

[@rajdeepganguli2274]

How about Fender Spender

[@luisvillarreal5262]

The "Spender Splendor" axe.

[@AhBeeDoi]

"Big Time" Spender

[@K2shadowfax]

Sustain + Spender = The SusSpender

[@TroyNaumu808]

Nita and Mary are not only highly talented musicians but on top of that are gorgeous brilliant women inside and out. The real deal. Tow of my favourite guitarists in one video and in the same is so cool. I love Ibanez guitars.

[@jacekmma]

I am very proud to say that I still buy cd's. I do that bcuz not only do I like the songs but I love to see the album artwork. With digital stuff u don't always get that

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

Really nice guitar. Two really nice people. ⚡️⚡️🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@chrispetersen4863]

Love seeing two hard charging, groundbreaking awesome female musicians chatting and talking about influences and music! Love it! Love it! Love it!

[@canman87]

Nita's awesome! Cool to see her stop by for a quick interview and the guitar is a beaut as well.

[@ruthlane4595]

She is impressive in so many ways

[@michaelwilmshurst1579]

Purchased this guitar today. It arrives in a few days, So excited... Thank You Nita

[@rsolsjo]

Mary and Nita! What a combo. Great interview.

[@johnivanp]

I had not heard of Nita, but I love her attitude and that guitar looks awesome

[@alwaysrockn2009]

Super cool! Nita rocks and is super hot and super cool. Nice to see a player that not only has the skills to shred but is down to earth and humble- no arrogance at all. Two genuine cool ladies in the industry talking about their experiences. Nice.

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

Skills? Hmmm. C'mon we all know she is a bit crap compared to a good guitar player. I can play far better than she does and I don't consider myself to be great and certainly wouldn't expect anyone to give me money through a Patreon account which is really just scrounging money as you are not giving anything back of any worth. Nita was right on the ball when that part of the conversation spiked MONEY MONEY MONEY in her brain.

[@profd65]

@@MICKEYISLOWD Go get counseling, dude. You have problems.

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

@@profd65 I have problems because I think Nita is a shit guitar player..? Well guess what...she is a shit guitar player. I don't consider myself to be a great player but I am far far better than she will ever be...lol

[@profd65]

@@MICKEYISLOWD You're far better? By what standard? That you can sit on the edge of your bed and run fast scales and sweep pick? Nobody gives a shit about that. Are you better than Eric Clapton too because you (and 10,000 Korean twelve year olds on KZbin) can sweep pick? Congratulations, loser: MAYBE you can parlay that skill into a job teaching guitar at a music shop...MAYBE. But the world isn't into that pyrotechnic Yngwie crap, and never has been.

[@pronubcentral]

I love that 'pressing' and 'cutting' are still used for albums even on CD.

[@lonzenatorswanagan9243]

gotta love when the interviewee becomes the interviewer.... "so how does that patreon thing work" It shows her humble demeanor....

[@markrajfura4443]

The heartbeat fret markers are so simple and look so good on the guitar. Love the blond and black guitar as well. Just as classy as Nita is.

[@chazfaz3595]

Love my S series... and now this - it seems even more loveable... And speaking of designs we construct in our heads... This is really close to my mine. Thanks Nita!

[@michaelciriaco6902]

2 great ladies, very talented - and great looking guitar!

[@Lion_King_Date_Swain]

What a wonderful interview! That guitar looks stunning!!! 😍 I adoreeee her (Nita) personality and style. She is my major inspiration. And I'm her biggest die hard fan. No matter how old you are. You can be a expert guitarist or a Rock Star if you believe in yourself. Practice Practice Practice and All is coming. Have faith. Sending tons of love for Mary and Nita from Bangladesh. May God bless both of you always.💕💕💕💕💕🤘🤘

[@fordhammie]

Hmmm I'm very doubtful that she's a female; that's a good looking dude with makeup on! They exist all over Hollywood and music...

[@fletcherchambers7175]

I wouldn't have generally thought of Mary Spender and Nita Strauss in the same breath... It was really cool seeing the two of you chat about your art and the tools you use make it and get it to the public... Nicely done.

[@MrScrofulous]

I really love that guitar design. The EKG fret-marker design is fantastic.

[@alabalanutnbolt]

Watching Nita play live with Alice Cooper is a privileged experience. Great too see you interviewing such a great rock guitarist.

[@deadshot4245]

yep i was there got to see it and was impressed by nita's tone killer phrasing very powerful guitar player

[@firestream93]

Nice guitar. I'm liking the 'EKG' markings on the fretboard.

[@charleskennedy8695]

Two of my favorite things...Two lovely ladies and guitars

[@andrewitzla]

Word.

[@FunkyMonkey-ip4xy]

Great interview, just wish it had been longer. Thanks :)

[@ericcarpenter3263]

Nita is beast. She is not good for a girl, she is mind blowing... PERIOD!! That guitar is so awesome.

[@samsound8510]

Proof that Mary can upstage anyone. Seriously though, if I was in the market for a shred guitar, this would be on my short list. Been waiting ages for Ibanez to use ebony fretboards.

[@CorbCorbin]

Great Talk! Very cool, hearing two musicians, with very different styles of playing, talking guitar.

[@jimalbruzzess2445]

2 of the coolest people on the Internet! !!!! Great job Mary.

[@michaelscortez4341]

I love you nita 💯

[@davidhoxit4274]

Honored! Thanks Mary and Nita!

[@scottnorman408]

Congratulations to the both of you and your success. Hard work, drive, and perseverance does pay off.

[@jacksnedden8161]

Love Ibenez, andI totally love the EKG fret markers!!! Unique and original!! Gotta get one!!!

[@vyen9343]

The inlays look great! My Ibby SZ520FM has them as well (very similar, at least).

[@revredbeard3289]

Thanks Mary for a great talk. I’ve been a Nita fan for awhile and am one of the people that is getting a JIVA from her kickstarter...I’m like a little kid waiting for Christmas...I want my guitar. 😃

[@philc5513]

Two polar opposite guitarists. Both great players and inspirational.

[@noelsheedy]

Excellent, a brilliant interview, so personal and about the industry/skill/basics. Nice to see that.

[@bellachi9575]

As a female guitarist I have really appreciated and enjoyed the gender mix of musicians at #TGU18. Very refreshing and encouraging. (Maybe a response to Mary’s question to John Mayer at NAMM? 😉) Congrats to Nita on her well thought out and beautiful signature guitar. Is there a Mary Spender Vigier in the works?

[@fordhammie]

Gifted Guitarist but I'm doubtful that Nita is a female! Alot of good looking men (and bad lol)with makeup exist all over music and Hollywood.

[@john564holloway]

Hey, Mary from Fort Worth, Texas!...I've watched this video about 10 times because I love to hear you both talk about this axe. I also realized how good that Orange amp in the background matches the JIVA! BTW, loved your performance at Norman's Rare Guitars!...Keep the great vids coming!...

[@hgostos]

The black and blonde makes perfect sense. Congratulations Nita!

[@GuitarFool1569]

2 Diva’s and a Jiva! This is freakin’ guitarist HEAVEN!

[@TimO-wt9sz]

Super cool Mary and Nita is her shirt so humble. I'm def a fan . Your so humble as well Mary what made me check you out was when I seen you on Anderson's with lee.

[@ripplebear]

Mary, you have a wonderful smile! Thanks for sharing music with us 😁

[@piprist5099]

Love both Mary and Nita. Trailblazers.

[@SirHeadly84]

Mary Spender and Nita Strauss in one place . Amazing

[@noseyparker6622]

Wow how sweet and lovely is Nita?

[@siryba]

What a brilliant guitar. Great to see you and Nita chat about its design and functionality. Cheers!

[@matthiasvonhelvete519]

This woman is sooo fascinating!- I have to hear her playing now!!!

[@paulusx7711]

Nita is mindblowingly awesome... you both are ...

[@billtaylor4897]

I can't believe this... You two... Together... Great... Made my day *

[@jasondesjardins7371]

Very awesome. Nita's the real deal - humble too.

[@stevesmith3990]

Nita is a class act, looking forward to her album.

[@ProfligateGhost]

I really need to save up for this guitar. There's something about it that makes me want to call it my first electric guitar.

[@darrenc8776]

Too beautiful ladies. One awesome guitar. Two awesome guitarists

[@frwy1]

Absolutely Stunning Guitar and two great guitar players - thanks for the video !

[@bestplans9051]

And it's Ibanez's 2nd best selling guitar right behind the Steve Vai Signature model!

[@chriscuthbertson]

2 of my faves.... could listen to them talk all day.

[@Mountain_Mutt]

Hi Mary. I enjoyed this immensely. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

[@eddie51502012]

wow with NIta!!! So cool !!!

[@kimberlytroutman4523]

WOW...I LOVE YOUR GUITAR!

[@papotorres9064]

I have to tell you that Yamaha is a much better than a Squier , unless its a Squier made in Japan in the 80s , so you did good buying that one , nice to see you still have it , My first real guitar was a Gibson es-125CD (1967) which I also still have , That's my story on my first "real" guitar . Nice video too . Alfred NYC

[@santiagovanegas3812]

Can’t wait for that Mary Spendor Vigier Guitar!!!

[@Individual_two]

Excellent interview! Nita's signature Ibanez looks fantastic! I was impressed with the balance demo and it is only 7 lbs., also impressive.

[@johncougar526]

Solo album! Very keen to hear that!

[@JadedAlice]

Nita's new blue Jiva is so pretty!

[@FritzMadness]

Nita is dope!! from being interviewed to interviewer haha!

[@victoreijkhout6146]

Cool inlays! That's a very creative idea.

[@charlesskovira262]

Great video! Love Nita! That guitar is going on my wish list.

[@YtseJuan]

I stumbled on this vid today, well done! Subscribed.

[@overnightgrowth]

I love the heartbeat fret inlays that is dope.

[@markwathen975]

You made a good day better 😘😘🎶🎵🎵

[@brendanscott8989]

love a natural burst. I have an esp e2 natural burst that is basically the same thing. ecept has floyd rose rather than ibanez trem, seymore duncans and neck through. but dayum does that inlay look good.

[@fredrikolofsson1972]

Did thumbs up 3 sec into the clip :D

[@bobboitt3126]

Love the EKG fretboard markers! Great vid

[@SteelSkin667]

Seems like a really nice instrument. Nita has really done a great job promoting this, I've seen her appear on most of the guitar-related channels I watch over the last month. I wonder why Ibanez has elected to include regular strap buttons rather than strap locks with that guitar?

[@PhilRocks]

So gooood!! Great one Mary! You girls rock!

[@j_freed]

Looks like a beautiful Prestige yet tastefully bit more Metal. This video has me liking Ibanez all the better. And to be shallow her image really suits the brand. Cool!

[@Duchessaottobre]

Mary i'm in love with your voice and pronunciation 😍

[@terenceherming1838]

Mary is so neat and tidy, my room looks like a bomb site

[@orionbigboygaming2418]

AMAZING GUITAr PLAYER! I need that guitar! Beautiful guitar!

[@JimG27]

Great interview Mary!🤘

[@hornerinf]

That's the nicest color on a guitar I think I have seen. Makes you want to get one. Even if you don't play guitar! LOL

[@BlankRami]

Wow she is beautiful... nita and mary are too!

[@pandastrat]

I’m not a huge metal fan, djenting solos and all that are not really my cup of tea, but wow, Nita plays with such flair!! I can’t wait to listen to her solo album!!

[@befrnigel]

Lily But Nita is nothing like Djenting or stuff like that. She plays for Alice who's more rock than metal tbh.

[@pandastrat]

Yagami Raïto true, but I still find the solos a bit “too much”. Like, not my style at all. I said “metal” just because I listened to Pandemonium and used to know her from the Iron Maidens :)

[@Icecp1]

djent is not the only sound you will find in metal, there is metal for everyone, check out some power metal bands if you want

[@pandastrat]

Hawke Games will do! ^^

[@Icecp1]

Let me suggest something, let me know if you like it kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKCcqqJ-jbung6c

[@prboyd]

So cool Mary! Nita is an amazing guitarist. She has rocked some stadiums! I think she needs to bring the troops to the Thekla :)

[@Irraanos]

It's an interesting and smart choice using purpleheart. It's ranked one of the hardest and stiffest woods in the world, so having that adds plenty of durability to the neck.

[@rickk1235]

What a great interview!

[@2free2snakes]

Henning Pauly's vid from NAMM'18 (one of the few dozens) has him asking the Ibanez people if rosewood was a problem. The answer was no. But it obviously is for some guitar models. I have one fretboard made of roseacer. Very close to the feel of rosewood.

[@Robby24ish]

Nice looking guitar!, Nita is a Beautiful Soul & of course LOVE the name Jiva. peace&love out 2 All

[@richieismyhero]

So very cool, thanks Mary

[@vinicioserafini5929]

That guitar looks stunning!

[@ryanpaul4833]

Two fantastic artists and amazing women!

[@jaanussoome3889]

Hi Nita,I,ve bought your Signature Ibanez Guitar.It is great!

[@dannyh7557]

I love these two ladies!

[@EnriquePage91]

That’s a cool looking guitar. Definitely looks like her!
