I always did like that Warlock.....glad it survived all these years.
Love Lita! Met her once, what a Really cool, REAL person. Great musician.
Lita Ford came to Guitar Center in the area where I live. What impressed me the most was how unassuming she is and how friendly she is to chat with. Lita was also very willing to share guitar ideas as well as sign autographs. Top notch performer and a very nice person from my experience.
"If I close my eyes forever, will it remain unchanged".. My favorite line and I love how lita's vibrato is so smooth..
Lita, it's nice to have you back. Your old records are still some of my favorites. Its getting harder to find styluses for my turntable, but it still works!
One of the original queens of rock! 🤘 Love Lita!
All the negative comments... how unecessary
Nice Job with the chorus for "Close My Eyes" Lita!
Lita Keep Rockin Im with you
She tells great stories! I'd love to visit with her some day. Video it and learn something about guitar from her. One of the masters of Rock!
That was badass!
Lita rocks. Always has, always will!
..lita is awesome ! .awesome guitar
Lita, se agradece la leccion de esta hermosa canción.
Saludos
She does shake the hell out of her vibrato...always has.
lita ford, y&t and twisted sister at irvine meadows!!! great fkn concert.
Fantastic!!!!!
she is one badass chic...loved her back in the 80's and still do.
I'm glad she's back coolest chick of the 80's
*The lesson starts at **4:20*
I love 'em all. I actually had no idea who this Orianthi chick was until recently. She's pretty incredible, too. I heard her and intantly thought Steve Vai - then I heard she was one of his students. Lita is more my style though, down and dirty 80's glam metal. Gotta admire the way she has managed to stay relevant, with the sexually charged "Lolita" rock of the late 70's with the Runaways, to the glam metal of the 80's, to the alt. rock of the 90's and today - she keeps rockin'.
muy buen video, me sorprendio gratamente el talento de esta guitarrista. además está muy buena la warlock b.c.rich que tiene
Lita Ford!!! The Queen of Heavy Metal...
Iconic
Love her
Guitar Queen !
Killer sound on that solo! :D
I love Lita. For the life of me though I cannot wrap my brain around the thought process in her mind when she got those tattoos. It just looks terrible on what was once the princess of hard rock.
+Lee Dubya Ok.....troll on loser.
+Lee Dubya Like you are a better guitarist. Troll on and have a pleasant day.
Hot women with tattoos is like a Mercedes with stickers all over it
Her tats were forced on her by her ex-husband. If you read her book you will learn a lot about her, that being one of them. Some have been covered up since her divorce.
The most awful was Jim on her right arm 😩😩😩
I am looking for the guitar chords to play "Nobody's Child"! Anyone?
wow thank you sandy
Wow what a nice intro.. Heavenly..
Metal Queen🤘🤘🤘🤘
She is very nice and amazing
I like those B.C Rich guitars.
She ROCK'SSSSSSSSSSS Marry my!!!! Lol ! Its a good idea to return to the stage!
i love you lita
Legend
Lita that was an insightful glimpse into the 'making' of Wicked Wonderland! I need to go get myself a copy! I auditioned as a vocalist for Rock'n'Roll Fantasy Camp a year ago yet I didn't get picked. Back to the church choir! It was great to chat with you after all these years at NAMM 2011. Call or email me!
movie?
What chords are you using.
her vibrato kicks ass
awesomely insane.
She always has been and always be Absolutely Gorgeous
not anymire..
Lita eres grande =)
If you don't like her,don't look her videos,she's an amazing guitar player,and she always is a nice girl,you learn to play guitar and then talk about Lita,anyways the video it's amazing,she rocks! :3
ha ha ha love it when she says she didn't want to write and record "Hairy Pits and Sandals" LOL!
Shes the best rock chick ever ...I love her
Just let it go love
For everyone that's trying to play along to this video you have to know that her guitar isn't tuned to her reguarly E standard, instead its tuned a whole step down, D standard.
Glorious Warlock There!!
That sounded like the intro to Kiss' song Black Diamond
Lita looks great here. The black warlock is looking mean also!!!!!!!!!!! Saw her with Queensryche recently and she broke out the warlock for "Close my eyes forever" on the show.
@DMR90Guitar agreed
Rock On Ltia : )
Tune it please
Lotta love for the old stuff. But dunno what going on here.
I have a BC Rick Warlock, but I hardly play it anymore. I am more comfortable now a days with my SG or my Les Paul copy. I love Lita Ford though!!!!! I wish I woulda married her back when she wanted me too, but I slapped her down and told her to get lost!! ( im jokin)
Badass woman showing the world how to be a boss
@ninja609 I WAS TALKING ABOUT HER PLAYING A "RICH BICH" in this video, take it easy.
@bigtophalloween since she was 10
wow
Broad's put one some hard years.
how to play close my eyes forever ? please miss LITA
Lita was a BABE in the 80s. I think its hilarious that even in her 50s she still looks the part of the rocker lol.
@Bollehamsteren the guitar was too.
@math1st
and awesome solos, listen to The Runaways...
@Jmichaeledwards Thanx ^_^
@megaluisdeth was that an l.a. guns reference? am i the only one who listens to l.a. guns?
Almost sounds like the intro to "Black Diamond"/ Alive
she is one of the true great guitarist of females... love her!
Raven Rayne Havoc how sad would it be if that were true? Haha
what a diamond ring!!! =O
@demigrl21 I didn't say ALL girls
No I don't have an issue.. as I said, play if you want to and makes you happy
cheers ;)
BC Rich has been going down hill for some time now. The extreme shapes were cool when I was a kid and only played metal but being a seasoned player who plays different styles I now require more than just looks in an instrument. I haven't played Rich's for over ten years now but for the first 5 to 7 years of playing I used an old Warlock much like Ford's with the old style headstock. I also had a Warlock with a floyd and the the old pointy large headstock. I wish I still had em but when I started playing Ibanez I never looked back. I came to this vid for the guitar, I hate 80's hair metal but the Lita Ford Warlock is one of the best they make for production. I like normal strat like bodies but I have always had a soft spot for BC Rich, mainly Warlocks, Mockingbirds, and ironbirds. They were the guitars of my youth. They still make nice USA custom shop stuff but be prepared to pay 5,000+. For that price there are way better options out there. BC Rich just doesn't compete with the other large companies anymore. Each year they haul out another stock line of instruments at the NAMM show never innovating or even attempting to keep up with companies like Ibanez, Fender, Gibson, Jackson, Schecter, Charvel, all the big companies. The last innovation I can remember were the speed loader guitars and to my understanding that was a Floyd Rose innovation who must of hatched a licensing deal with BC. They unveil shit like the artcore series which were pieces of shit with tacky graphics. There production models have no variety whatsoever. The Mockingbird St's are nice and there are few nice Pro X models but the majority are all shitty. The only production Ironbird is a shitty beginner guitar leaving anyone who wants a nice Ironbird to have to go custom shop or find a nice one used somewhere. There are no nice gunslingers just one cheap model and there is one decent model of a super strat called a Villian. There is one Stealth model which is a Chuck Schuldiner signature leaving the only variety among Warlocks, Mockingbirds, and Bich's and its a small variety at that. There are so little options if your looking to buy a BC Rich and if you want a higher end model the variety gets even smaller. They are easily the laziest company among the large brands and cater mostly to beginners who have no clue of what quality is yet. I would love to work for BC Rich and give the company a complete makeover. There should be at least three price points for each model and should have a selection of finishes. Every other large brand are constantly offering new models with several options, BC Rich needs to get back in the game. For example they should make a line of Gunslingers ranging three price points. The high end model should have a choice between hardtail or Floyd Rose original or 1000 series, lets give it an HH pickup configuration with either EMG's or Seymour Duncan pickups ( I'm a Dimarzio guy but these guitars cater to metal players), 5 way selector for multiple tones, lets go with a maple neck, either an ebony or maple board, it could be a set neck, through neck , or even a 5 piece bolt on, give it 3 finish options and quality hardware, and lets go with a slim neck profile to compete with other fast playing instruments. Many of these options could change to other quality options but you see my point. Each model with a low end, mid, and high end version. That would make some waves at NAMM.
+Kris Ross You just wrote a novel on youtube comment section.
+Kris Ross B.C RICH geetars are some of the best made guitars ever.they are not just to play metal.they were around before the heavy metal scene.if you cant find an older one(which can get pricey)(and your better off),then goand buy a high end les paul.
I'm with you on BC Rich failing us. The last bc riches that we're a damn we're the high end Joey Jordison sig and the black veil brides six models. Also, their retro warlock and mockingbird models w a Kahler or hardtail we're awesome. I wish they would come out with new guitars of good quality that are affordable. Warlocks, bithes and mockingbirds that are neck thru and basic red, white and black finishes and a Floyd or a Kahler. Add to that a line of single humbucker gunslingers of better quality.
those are good chords
@scarlethangel since the 70's.She started with The Runaways.
lita ford is greatest female guitsrist i ever heard.
@@anthonywilson3510 Don't be talking shit just because she's your mom.
You don't get out much, huh?
@jacka94 Why?
I wonder if she covered that JIM tattoo yet ?
@Jmichaeledwards Lol but she made my day
@mindsikmuzik I'd for sure include her in the "holy trinity" of female rock guitarists, although in my personal opinion Jennifer Batten and Orianthi are technically better players, and rock just as hard.
Having said that..... I'd like to think that I'll be up there with them one day. I have a few videos up at the moment, nothing perfect, but I'm working on it. If you have time give them a listen and let me know what you think.
She had it covered up with the black widow hour glass.
wasnt she with rico jr guitars? well bc rich and jr r the same deal
@lovelivelaughgirl ya they can play powerchords ..............
@lovelivelaughgirl Fuck Yeah!

Good thing this was in 2010. Lita would be cancelled for her remarks at 2:40 😂😂
Hey, man show some fucking respect for this woman who has been known as a guitar goddess since the 80's.
Shut up
