    As a much older player I think it's super rad that she was like "I started playing guitar because of guitar hero" with no shame - hell yeah!

    1:35 WOW Melanie, I started playing Guitar because of Guitar Hero 3 in 2008. There should be a documentary on that video game and the generation of guitarists it produced. I had zero interest in guitar until I got Guitar Hero 3 for Wii at christmas.

      @@daMyahStar Try setting the gain a bit higher, either by the guitar’s volume knob or by the amp’s volume/master or both.
      If gain doesn’t simplify clearer hammer-ons, then consider lowering the action (the distance between the strings and the fretboard), but do this only after watching a few videos on how to set-up a guitar properly. Good luck

      @@daMyahStar If you can add a compressor it will fix that. Compressors make quiet sounds louder and loud sounds quieter. If I were to play a tapping riff completely clean, it might make basically no sound, but the same riff with a little bit of gain and a compressor pedal will be loud and clear.

    Coming from a more music making background, I found that this video is really great introduction on everything about R&B, the rules not only applies to Guitar Playing only, it also applies to Vocals, Other Instruments and literally is just R&B. The underlying concept is basically the same and it shows Melanie is really good at R&B and with musical talents. Amazing to watch!
