Creative and effective teacher. Amazing how well she can describe her thinking and creative process.

[@rickkirk9825]

I could listen to her play all day. Awesome.

[@grayaj23]

her approach to music is amazing

[@tomfoolery2082]

Seems like a real sweetheart and wow can she play .

[@WesPaul2000]

I've been catching up on all the GearFest videos this evening. This one is my favorite, by far! I've never checked her out really and only seen or heard her in passing through on social media. She's fantastic but apart from that, it's really cool hearing her go through her creative process.

Absolutely Phenomenal Interview!

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

She's an amazing musician and a good music teacher in the way she explains her writing process. Rich Gallagher is a cool dude/ interviewer as well, just letting her extrapolate "so to speak". I'm sure he enjoys just listening to her play/ explaining her creative process.

Fantastic description of compositional process on guitar especially from a guitarist with a unique melodic & harmonic voice. 🤘 👽🛸🚀

[@superblondeDotOrg]

Note the quirky tuning: open F9, F A C G C E

[@steveseverin8715]
