St. Vincent Being A Guitar God (read description)

january 1st, 2020 edit: this video got a lot more attention than I though it would !! here are some things regarding the comments I've been getting:
1) I made this video with the intention to make a part 2, so I didn't put all of her best/ most complicated riffs in it, ex surgeon/marrow/ whatever
2) SOME OF THESE RIFFS ARE IMPROV!! i've leave timestamps of the improvised riffs if I can remember later, but.. I was taking that into consideration making this video, like 'this isn't the greatest thing ever, but it's incredibly good for improv" y'know??
3) damn ma is it that serious
a compilation of st vincent/annie clark being a badass on guitar.

She's a very unique and an inventive composer. As far as her being a guitar god,no. She's not a virtuoso. But she is a brilliant producer, composer,arranger and performer. Like The Edge. His technical ability is fairly unimpressive. But his use of pedals,tones and effects are super unorthodox. The way he fills space. Another example of this would be Adam Jones from TOOL. Very inventive and unique player, but his technicality isn't up to par with what would be considered virtuosity. His playing is somewhat repetitive. But very aggressive and emotive.

[@samkirby3775]

Some of her stuff is cool

[@angusorvid8840]

An absolutely exceptional, highly original guitarist. Up there with Reeves Gabrels and Adrian Belew, for sure. Perhaps even better. She's great.

[@bigmonmagoomba9634]

Noise. I have yet to hear her play a legit solo.

[@palmerlp]

Those are good analogies. I can hear the intention in what she’s doing. She studiously avoids the obvious choices. There’s an emotional ambivalence to it.

[@methyod]

dude she's pretty good but she's nowhere in the same league as adrian belew. i think she'd be the first to tell you that.

[@rickcarson9423]

I wouldn't model my guitar playing after hers. Although any beginner could do what she does. Sounds just like my 6 year old granddaughter when I crank my Strat up, turn on some effects and let her rip! She thinks it sounds great and I tell her it does but I lie! Anybody could do this.

[@donwalbass]

Well after reading the comments I'm afraid of saying anything and being a guy... But, I digress... I dig her guitar playing, it's unconventional, catchy and it's her own thing. It sometimes reminds me of Muse in the tone and overdrive sound (which I love). Two big thumbs up from me 👍👍
