She tried to advertise herself off in After Hours here the other week, and I think she's made a thread asking for any drummers, bassists or singers to help her form a band somewhere in the music forum.

Oh yeah, and she'd get it, etc

She's a bit of a sloppy player, she should be playing slower stuff correctly rather than fast stuff with a good few mistakes.

shes quite good, rhythm is sloppy, which kinda ruins it, I hear guitarists on youtube and keeping in time is really critical. Guitar tone could use a bit of work too, technological limitations of the equipment aside, the guitar sounds very dry and tinny.

Mr. CooL ICE

Agreed about her playing. It is rather sloppy in places and just seems to lack attention to detail with regards to keeping runs and passages sounding clean.

She is only average looking tbh. But since I'm a sucker for girls with guitars, I'd definitely give her one

WTF has that got to do with her ability to play guitar? I'm sure she didn't enter so lads could discuss her doability. Some lad wrote a comment "I'm not into guitars. . . you're so NICE girl" under her video.

Anyways lots of girls play guitars. Don't see the need for a thread about it.

It has nothing to do with her guitar playing ability. I am a male chauvinist pig and was offering my male chauvinist pig opinion about a 2nd aspect of that video

WopTittyPop

Agreed on the sloppy playing! Not the nicest sound coming from the guitar either!
Very doable! :P

Reasons for coming onto a thread called "Check out this Irish girl guitarist"

Male
1. To see if the chick can actually play guitar because exceptionally talented female guitarists, regardless of how sexist it might sound, are rare to come across
2. To see if the chick is hot

Female
1. To redeem the fact that there is such thing as an exceptionally talented female guitarist.

It might sound sexist, but it's the truth!

I watched the video and was impressed with her playing ability. As someone who has been a fan of electric guitars for many years, I like to think I could tell a good guitarist from a bad one.

Having said that, I can't play myself so I wouldn't be able to spot technical issues of someone's playing abilities. Some of the comments here about her technique surprised me, to be honest.

To my ears and eyes she makes a good sound with the guitar and looks quite good too. I do believe that this combination would be a great addition to any up and coming rock band.

Technically she can play, but it looks like she's playing by rote. She needs to work on her composing because the tune itself was uninspired, and along with her slightly sloppy style and buzzy tone (could be the recording) made it a hard listen. In a few years when she's matured as a player she'll be great

lots of girls play guitar badly because they don't put in the time and effort to shred or wail properly or they're into fluffy soft rock/indie.

LukeQuietus

You're is completely biased because she's a girl. If that was a guy this thread wouldn't exist. Even the title shows that her being a girl is a large part of what's impressive to you. Girls do play guitar too. And a hell of alot play better than this. She's just gonna get an ego and think she doesn't need to fix her bad timing and technical errors.

She's not very good. Too many mistakes. Boring choppy solo's.

For a good woman guitarist check out Ana Vidovic

(and she's hotter than that that irish girl)

Leaving sex (and possible innuendo) out of it. It's guitar w*nking at it's finest.

I don't like the sound of it, but it's impressive nonetheless.

hidinginthebush

too sloppy to be considered good. Also, looks like a heroin fiend / wannabe. Wouldn't fcuk her with YOUR dick

You DO understand biology, don't you?

<checks> Oh wait! VELCRO! Who knew......ah evolution...

:rolleyes:

North_West_Art

she has probably put alot of practice into her playing.. so kudos to her for that.
Personally, I couldn't listen to more than 30 seconds of it... its all flash, and no content. It reminds me of being 18 again, back in 1989... airbrushed motorbike petrol tanks, Megadeath t-shirts and Mamstein playing the flight of the Wounded Bumble Bee on his pointy guitar... this is very passe.

If she sang it would be a big plus... with a bass player and a drummer, she would get alot of work at the biker's festivals Im sure.

My ex is a fairly good guitarist (I've witnessed him learning and perfectly playing Paul Gilbert's "Curse of Castle Dragon", solo included, within a few hours spanning a week or two), and after having watched him play for about a year just sitting in his bedroom messing around, and watching the girl in the video, she's really, really not that great.

I don't play myself, but I can definitely tell that her technique is sloppy and while she can follow notes, she doesn't really "get" it, if that makes sense? It doesn't seem natural for her.

Either way, my point is, I'm not understanding the hype, and like other posters said, if she was a he this would have no attention at all. Why the novelty just because she has a vagina? Seems a bit misplaced when there's much better guitarists on there whose only evident fault is having a penis instead.

+1. Commands total silence from her audiences. I'd love to see her play.

Indeed. And I really hate that sort of wánkology playing now.

She'll develop her playing in years ahead I'm sure. It needs maturity/diversity.

Hot as fcuk.

My post still stands, I'd have the same opinion if she was a guy

Charming.

She has a boards account, apparently she posted in AH. Send her a PM and let her know.

I'm sure she'll give a ****.

Pugsley

To be honest if you want to see Irish women playing metal just look at Darkest Era, guitarist and drummer are both girls. The drummer is also a drum teacher by profession, and they're both very good at what they do.

She's a bit too old for me.

JBnaglfar

That ten year old can really play. Just wish I wasn't forced to spend so much time staring at her feet.
