Hello, I enjoy listening to Saint Vincent. Just a question. What do you mean by " her guitar style and line may be unorthodox"? How does she differ from other orthodox guitarist?

[@hughgrection5674]

@@jewulo if you watch some of her previous work (e.g. early St.V, polyphonic spree or Sufian Stevens) you will see what I mean. Before she developed her music man guitar to suit her height, body shape etc.... Worth watching some of her work back then and I think you’ll understand 😉

[@ocwaveoc1842]

What i love about her performances is that she doesn't change the singing melody. Many singers change the melody of singing parts either because they can't confidently sing the recorded version live or they are tired of singing it the same way over and over. However, many people who go to live concerts want some familiarity especially if the vocal melody is a real hook of the song rather than changing it so that it sounds so different. I really appreciate that about Annie's performances.

[@shaxan]

Let's hear what others have to say on this, shall we? )

[@_jet.juliet_]

I honestly actually completely agree with this statement

[@markussoell77]

Well, if that's all what you want.... reproducing the recordings to please your memory :-)

[@wolfgangritter9277]

Well it's one attempt for live gigging. And for music this thoroughly structured it does make sense. If she'd be playing some soul or blues etc. it would probably be different. I love this show and I also have been doing stuff with drum computers where you just can't improvise freely because the whole arrangement will fall to pieces. I prefer a different approach to live playing now, less "light effects and fireworks" and more moving around to real musicians who can react in the glimpse of the moment. But that's due to the music I play at the moment. It doesn't mean one way is better.

I was again in the right place at the right time when I encountered her concert in Austin City Limits a few weeks ago on a PBS station. When her title "Cruel" came on it was close to mesmerizing. That's my impression & I'm sticking to it. ^_^ Anyone un-recognizing her talent as a guitarist doesn't rate the misnomer they may have for themselves, that being, bona fide critic. They're being paid to talk out their ass unless they're also dumb enough to offer such an opinion gratis. Call me enthralled and spellbound. Wish Eddie Van Halen could duet with her; doppelganing them here- Edie Van Halen would fit her to a T* and to the 9's. Bravo, SV.
