Since we last saw Yvette Young in 2019, the guitar-playing musical illustrator has been challenged, and proven courageous.
“I went from a situation where I was afraid of one of my bandmates, and did what I needed to do to free myself from what I felt to be an emotionally, and thus creatively draining, situation,” Young revealed to PG earlier this year. She parted ways with Covet’s members during the recording sessions for the new album, Catharsis, and had the bass parts re-done by noted touring and session bassist Jon Button.
Through the writing and recording process she found personal purification. “I feel like, on Catharsis, some of the songs are a bit darker and it was definitely me having an outlet for some stuff that was painful, but a lot of it is uplifting and very happy and dance-y,” Young said. “Music is transformative. If you’re ever feeling in a bad mood, if you write music that sounds really happy, it can uplift you. Writing music that sounds like how you wish you felt can be really helpful sometimes.”
And while processing her feelings through the guitar, she became reinvigorated with the instrument and rediscovered its inherent joy.
“I really have to be my own fortress and I have to really stay in tune with what excites me,” admitted Young. “The direction I go in becomes really clear when I focus on what gives me goosebumps when I’m playing, what makes me jump up and down ’cause I’m so excited about it.”
Her charismatic, vivid guitar stories excite us, so we wanted to get the scoop on her ever-changing tools and palette. Weeks after releasing Catharsis, Yvette Young and her Covet bandmates headlined Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl. She invited PG’s Chris Kies onstage for a conversation covering her Ibanez YY10 signature models (and their potential upcoming changes), her dream pedal, and the key switches (and the alternative tones they produce) on her stomp station since the last Rundown.

[@lloydvasser4889]

She and ichika nito reignited my passion for guitar playing. A true math rock genius and guitar pioneer.

[@cultoftheignitor7044]

Learning Covet songs is like re-learning guitar from scratch for me. Yvette is such a great songwriter and creative person altogether.

[@bryantherocker]

nope

[@superblondeDotOrg]

what mode is she playing in ? the tonality is too bright for me, I wish she would play phrygian

[@ashtonmcdowell7779]

Dude. I'm going through the same thing. She took the whole idea of a guitar chopped it up and made it her own. Much respect

[@slendergainz]

[@sn1ffy85]

As if everyone forgot about jazz players. Nothing new.

[@thathaeyang]

I've never been more inspired by a person. Yvette, if you see this. Please know that so many players with unique styles are no longer afraid to play, no longer thinking their style is without merit, and can't wait to create with you in mind. Thank you.

[@oakandiron_]

I will never forget the night I saw Caspian live in San Francisco and turning to my right and seeing Yvette standing next to me. Watching Caspian live with a guitar hero of mine was memorable. 🤝

[@adhamhocaoimh]

Love this woman’s playing.

[@snapfinger1]

YY’s music, style & gear are a breath of fresh air in the guitar world.

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

Awesome person. She's so genuine, approachable and kind. I really appreciate the way she interacts with people and in particular, her fans. She deserves all the success that comes her way.

[@ethanrummel7638]

Probably the best guitarist of her generation in terms of mixing technicality with compelling melody. Plus, its cool to hear what a gear head she is.

[@ampoll88]

Yvette is an absolute gem. Love her playing and all around attitude!

[@vav413]

YES YVETTE! you're an inspiration!!

[@gohamm8629]

Yvette has simply won at music-ing. 1st place. No contest. She gets all the flowers.

[@michaelwade379]

Yvette is leading the charge for all things awesome with the new generation of players, such a joy to see her play and listen to her discuss her rig and all things music.

[@edclevel402]

Yvette Young is just such a joy - she exudes so much positive energy in everything she does.

[@groovyhippie1165]

Yay Yvette! Her Rig Rundowns are becoming some of my favorites to watch because her style of playing and guitar tones and great attitude. So cool

[@ampgent]

Yvette rocks!!!

[@vwharman]

I so fully appreciate her approach. Wasn’t familiar with Covet when they released the previous rig rundown with her, but I have been awakened to her playing and love it! Thanks PG!

[@BagusWibisono]

I love rig rundown episode, please do more❤

[@beetronicsfx5811]

❤❤❤ much love!

[@andrewpappas9311]

My local guitar store has both of Yvette's signatures and also had her for a clinic a couple weeks ago, I didn't go to the clinic since I didn't hear about it but those guitars sound awesome and play really well too. She's a killer player and seems like such a nice person as well, such an awesome guitarist

[@woodenspoon6222]

I love Yvette too much, so precious

[@denverrandy7143]

Shes great!!! Awesome and inspiring playing.

[@sr60030]

thank you guys and yvette. igt was about time to have her back

[@Eudemon0013]

She talks shop and technicals like she makes the pedals... Yvette is a wizard and I'll learn as much as I can from them1

[@williambaker5318]

So creative, great playing!

[@realgoodmind]

Yvette is amazing.

[@daddarioandco]

[@romichjordan]

She is the Best

[@diodesDankessAndDives]

Amazing 👏

[@beyondinfinity3876]

She ia extremely talented!

[@bukwok]

still remember that dog ash moment back in 2019.

[@binkieruby2191]

That was awesome thanks

[@premierguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bibby42]

The Freqout pedal is phenomenal. I've had it for a little while, well worth the money!

[@markrobinson8410]

So original

[@Dulnlop]

YEAAAA

[@michaelfowler3187]

Anyone interested in open tunings please look into Kevin Cadogan from original third eye blind - he used several alternate tunings and standard tuning in the first two albums and his use of open strings and attention to the amazing bass playing of Arion Salazar resulted in some amazing song writing and hooks and tones - their opener Losing a whole year is one of the most interesting tunings - it can really narrow down your comfortable keys in that tuning but also creates some interesting problems to solve and ultimately we stumble on more unique things inspired by the differences.

[@denverrandy7143]

Wow,just found my new favorite player!!!

[@gregmize01]

Great rundown Chris Always Prepared Keys! My OCD alarm did sound a bit looking at her pedal board but man, she gets great tones!

[@astroandyborgloh]

Yvette's playing is inspiring; amazingly flowing and creative. And a very nice person as well.

[@nickp440]

I absolutely love this woman. Instant click

[@turbozayas]

Bad ass young lady!

[@aquabot]

Yvette really is adorable.

[@mark6302]

Yvette is fucking amazing

[@grantandrews4826]

Someone get this gal an EHX Tri Parallel Mixer!! Pretty sure it would do what she was talking about. :)

[@patawewe]

🤘🤘🤘

[@zekezekeish]

YY model with mini humbuckers would actually be a dream come true!

[@goatman3057]

For some crazy reason her tones and Gran Hechicero sound so similar to me😊

[@deomartinez77]

This awesome woman needs a rig build by Mason from Vertex Effects and he needs to give her a midi setup super bad. She would be able to do multiple delay and reverb setups without the need for 3 or 4 different pedals.

[@lpamiot]

Someone’s in love

“Speaking of feet” Me: I’m listening

[@daverice2426]

20:34 We need a cover of "These Boots are Made for Walking" NOW

[@springertube]

Yvette is great. I wish Ibanez would reissue the whole line of "regular" (Indonesian?) and Prestige (Japan) Talman S and T style (roughly, the pickup configurations for sure, but more Jazzmaster-shaped) guitars on which her Signature guitars are based. There's the "vintage" guitars (mid 90s) and more recent resurrection of those in the 2010s, and the latter were virtually everywhere (online) for a while then all of a sudden not only production (or at least US distribution) ceased, with barely a whisper, but even used disappeared. They've all got a great retro vibe for those looking for an "S" or "T" sound but want something a little different from what everybody else has, even with its somewhat familiar Jazzmaster-esque shape,...but with its own character as well. I love that even the T configured ones have an S-style belly curve and, I think, arm-rest cut, features you can find on Teles but only certain issues, or custom.

[@randrothify]

Bring back the Talmans!

[@oldnikix]

Such a cool interview/rundown. Yvette is so great. Very unique. That pedalboard arrangement and mismatched patchcabling triggers my OCD, though. Good thing I can just listen, and not look!

[@jeffwilliams7054]

Amazing toys

[@gohamm8629]

I’d kill for her YY20 in the pink sparkle that she personally plays. Take my money, Ibanez!!

[@d4rkblu386]

really wish Ibanez would bring the standard, non signature Talman back into the lineup. I really want one, but I'm the kind of guy who doesn't care to buy guitars I plan on selling basically at all. I'd rather save the money and get something really nice I can play for the rest of my life. Some kind of Prestige Talman would definately be on the list. They're such cool guitars, and a thin and flat ibanez neck with straty tones sounds like a dream

[@ForeverInBetweenBand]

Love Yvette’s style - really pushes the boundaries of what’s possible on the instrument. However, I’m definitely not as big a fan of the fuzzy tone on this album - makes it hard to hear some of the individual notes.

[@Mr.Monster1313]

Ooo p90 in the bridge..mini humbucker in the neck ?

[@matthewbachelor6576]

It's funny how she's going for jokes here and there and he's like "Ma'am, this is no-frills autism. I need to know how many micrograms are in your guitar pick." 😮

[@azngoku666]

"it's okay, I'm just kidding!"

I love Yvette. NGL, though, the lack of right angles on that board is making my eye twitch!

[@simongore29]

Death by Audio for a signature chorus...?

[@jnh73]

Copious amounts of chorus during the intro all while being played on a super-sparkly guitar? How dare she have fun! She'd be so much better if she took her playing more seriously. ;) Awesome stuff, PG!

[@callehaha_]

Can anyone tell me what song she is playing in the beginning of the video?:)

[@premierguitar]

Firebird from Covet’s newest album.

[@callehaha_]

@@premierguitar thanks!

[@joemeyer6876]

Yvette’s music is my favorite of all these new math rock shredders, Henson is a Yawn, Nito too, but her’s is a dreamy melodic Chinese influence music. I love Covet too, and I’m 69 years old.

[@UncleRots]

Dreamy melodic Chinese influence music is a wild way to refer to a midwest emo inspired sound.

[@denverrandy7143]

Does anyone know the first song she's plays?

[@premierguitar]

“Firebird” by Covet

[@AqueousMantra]

"Bong bong shoop chang bing clack boom zing" *eye wink* OMG I LUV HER PLAYING❤❤❤BE MY WAIFU❤❤❤I'M A 40 YEAR OLD GROWN MAN

You can have a lot of fun with delays in series..

Like the guitar..needs a tort pickguard...more colors..maybe a diff pickup in the bridge...
