Amazing Female Guitarist
Posted: 17 Dec 2018
First, it's not me. But let me begin by describing my limitations:
I've played a Fender Stratocaster since 1973. I'm self-taught, and my real forte is lead guitar solos, often created at the moment out of thin air from how inspired I get by the rest of the song, like a car driving down a road with beautiful scenery that makes you want to sing. I'm not terrific at lots of chords, but I accept that this is what I am – mostly an improvisational lead guitarist. I rarely play covers except for the obligatory "Stairway to Heaven"! Occasionally, I have a few moments of greatness during inspired leads, and the rest of the time is searching or building that "road" in Reason to play along to.
Who I discovered:
I feel absolutely HUMBLED by this 19 year old french gal named Tina Setkic (aka Tina S) who specializes in difficult guitar solos. from rock to classical music. Orianthi is one female guitarist she admires and what got her into guitar. I never heard of Tina S until I just ran across it on YouTube (YouTube's Google A.I. knows EVERYTHING about you and what videos to serve you, LOL!).
Check out these two outstanding songs she did. The first one is an amazing high-speed classical number, and the second is a Steve Vai song:
Ludwig van Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata ( 3rd Movement ) Tina S Cover

For The Love Of God - Steve Vai - Cover by Tina S

Color me blown away. Guess I'll put down my guitar and mop up now...
