Really like her style, and totally agree that "workin by ear" and inner feelings go far beyond and deeper than technichal theory. Who cares about a million notes per second, if you can't remember a melody afterwards? Me... not. Crypta solos are ones that imprint in your mind, like for example James Murphy's for Obituary did... Outstanding "newcomer band"! Love them🖤

She's great. So talented and humble at the same time.

Really like her approach if it comes to compose and writing riffs and solos….. she’s treating her instrument to express her deep inner feelings and ideas, REAL Musician! Not like most of nowadays meme/tiktok/insta piece of shit! Grettings for all

Such a talented guitarist. Amazing 👏

I just saw them at the Regent and they were really good. Great show, lots of energy - awesome guitar playing!!!

Her secret weapon is being humble, calmed and modest, i loved her when i listened her playing but when i listened talking i notice she is a really beautiful person

Everything you can play is based on theory. Musicians think it’s better to do things without know what we are doing. But it’s always better to use the noodle. Knowledge is not hindering, but rather freedom.

Tainá is great 🖤

Fantastic musician, and I love her style. One thing I really like is how she finds ways to incorporate clean passages in some of the songs. They can be relatively simple, but adding that little touch makes the song better overall.

Taina has an endearing personality, as Fernanda I heard recently on interview & I'm sure the others too, I like how humble & hard working they are, a band to follow !

Absolutely right! Adore you!

Tainá é foda!! Talentosa pra kct! Tive a hora de ver ao vivo e é impressionante.

Tainá is so eloquent when talking about music and guitar playing. Her video in which she discusses her solo on Death Arcana is one of the best descriptions of a solo. She has a great balance of emotion, tension, and technique in her playing.

Totally agree with her on theory…

Tell me you don't know theory without telling me you don't know theory.

There's nothing wrong with knowing exactly what you are doing. It also doesn't hinder any creativity. Just ask Bach; well, you get what I mean..

I agree with almost everything she said here. From theory to guitar shapes to loving dissonance.

Part of the great Lineup Fernanda has never had till Crypta . Now she has the Guitar Power to be a real Band and look at it go berserk . Love her and love the whole Crypta thing . Bought both Albums and they are so good to listen too 10 times a day . Crypta / Taina / Jesica and what a good Drummer . They are so Good . Ancient Metal Guy .

It's really cringey to hear people say that theory is limiting. Music theory is literally just a description of what is happening, not a set of rules. It's like saying the alphabet is limiting your writing.

Using the theory that you know is always voluntary, practice and doing stuff is mandatory.

She’s literally the girl version of me lol. I shred pretty hard imo but Im starting to get into theory after 10 years. Opening up an whole new chapter in playing. You dont need theory but Im learning that it helps immensely once you decide to commit. I totally agree with her saying it is a limitation and not knowing everything is what sets her apart. Im like that too. Im learning theory but i played for so long without it, that Its just a side quest at this point but I love it.

Buckethead is a sick guitarists I had a DVD of him back in the day

Tainá is a crush. I said what I said. I learned guitar same way she did. By ear. By what sounds good. Never learned theory not once. So, naturally, as a fan and a guitarist, I agree.

What is it with these people who think that “knowing theory“ suddenly means you can’t play anything other than what some mystical nonexistent set of rules tells you you can? Knowing the landscape doesn’t mean you only travel on existing roads. But not knowing the landscape does prove that you’re pretty much just too lazy to bother improving yourself.

Theory describes what you do it doesn’t tell you what to play. I hate peoples who belittle music theory just because they never bothered to learn it.

Awesome

Like most people some use their ears some actually learn theory and some even hum their ideas. I never learned scales or theory but I did practice different scale shapes just for fingers exercises. Once I played in front of someone who knows theory they said you know that the minor pentatonic scale. I mostly play by feeling and use my ears but at some point I want to expand and improve my lead playing with theory

Super band!

🤘🏼🔥🔥🤘🏼

I'm not that into death metal but I really like her style and she's super cute.. Crypta in general is a great, very technical band. Those gals are great musicians with razor sharp precision. Very controlled! Big thumbs up!

absolutely adorable

I don't know theory which sucks but I expirement and connect notes and it sounds decent

Tainá ❤🤘🤘🤘🎸

3:14 very aggressive riff

Very technical playing.. Taina play solo with calm style.. its looks great even in fastest beat and very proggesive scalling.. You still in the notes.

Individual thought patterns is god tier

It's sad that some in the so-called "music theorists" community are so unjustifiably defensive towards Taina's comments. Their unfounded stuck-up attitudes literally prove her point. All she was saying, is there is a community of clowns that try to claim a monopoly on "how to write music" and she doesn't want to subject herself to their foolish attitudes. Literally, the "music theorists" that post here, demonstrate they have no idea what "music theory" actually is. What a grievous offense, thus now my aged arse comes to you out of my woodwork, I am here now - let me school you. Music theory bears no outright hypothesis to warrant such a title. Only on the principle of the concept music can "come from anything" is what earns it any "theory" tagline. Otherwise, it's simply a language for music. Consider thousands of years ago, someone goes "you say things, how can we remember what you say?" then "I know, we make symbols for the words! Write it on something!" that's all "music theory" is. A language that serves to transcribe 'music'. It has nothing to do with "how to write a song" as litmus test. Just idiotic. To try to bend ppl to that, literally serves to justify removal of "theory" as a tag. All Crypta music can be enscribed, transcribed into written form. She doesn't want to write music starting from pen and paper, but from what she feels in her metal heart. Musical theorists are scribes in concept, not the artist themselves, though some may explore that and that's totally bitchin'. There's nothing wrong with knowing how to read/write music, it's an absolute gift and talent that should not be ignored. Many understand this. But to those overly defense and think it's a quasi-substitute-"way of song-writing" can eat a schlong. Go out-do Crypta if you're haught-shite. Where are your "magic songs"? Music is not from the parchment but from the heart What comes from the heart and soul and mind before it can reach the parchment? Wanna brain it and start from parchment and prove "all wrong", self-gritting teeth and all? - cool, have at it! Seriously, who doesn't love a great song? We need more of them. Do it. Write one for Taina, for Crypta if you can while you're at it. Right? Can you do that too? Finally, to paraphrase the legendary Eddie Van Halen, who said it always 'just came to him' and never learned to read sheet music: "The hell with the rules, if it sounds right to you, it is." Contemplate this on the tree of metal --- was he wrong?

Manda ver, Taynoca!!!

Can some Crypta afficionado let me know what song she is playing at 3.14 onwards plz. Thats some cataclysmic death metal guitarwork love it

Me 2. Thats a class on the other side of campus I usually skip

So fucking cool.

Taina grosa 🤘🔥

Ignorance is bliss. Knowledge is power.

I couldn't agree more to "The instrumental part of a song tells you a lot. Maybe more than the lyrics". And the emotion put into notes can say an incredible amount about the player too as she pointed out with Buckethead.

If you are playing by ear, you’re still using theory. You just don’t know the names. There’s been a lot of people in recent years sort of bragging or proclaiming that they don’t know theory. What are they so proud of? People have been saying this since the 1950s when rock ‘n’ roll came out. What are you rebelling against? Hip-hop and EDM? Those artists know less about theory than you do.

If it sounds good to you as a player, than it is good.

She a bad ass :)

What a babe! 😍

Give me a feel player over a theory junkie anyway.

If you like to look at all the possibilities, why not increase your awareness of the patterns you use and your visualization skills? If you want a better view of a place, buy a map (or go on Google earth). Going by memory or by pure sight in front of you would take MUCH longer to get the same view you are looking for... That's where theory helps.

all those musicians who plays in orchestra's around the world know theory inside out. that's why there is no any new Beethoven recently. those music purists will never came up with metal, it if was up to them. ok, music theory helps a lot, but only when you learn to play guitar without it. if you learn theory first, you are stuck with "proper way to play it" and you will never deviate from it

If you know chords, you know music theory. You don’t have to know complex jazz harmonies.

Gatinha bagarai.

"grammar can be a limitation" - not a writer

I’m a guitarrist and bass player and I understand whats she is saying. There is a lot people here fighting because theory is important but is not the most important thing to play. You need to have the gift of music this is more important, without passion you can know all the theory that you want but your music will be blend . Music is an expression you need to have a soul for it. Some musicians that doesn’t know music theory Jimmy Hendrix, Eric Clapton, George Lynch, Slash, Steve Harris (Iron Maiden).

Everybody should have a basic grasp on theory at the very least for timing. Especially guitar players, putting your songs into guitar pro for your band mates is much easier when you know what you're doing in you're song rhythmically

School is stupid, just drop out.

Guitarists are just superstitious especially if they think something is working for them.

"theory can be a limitation" - automatic skip

Nothing is more of a turn off than all you people who are die hard about music theory...people like you kept me from realizing I was a musician until I was 35. F theory...until you are ready for it.

People who say theory can be a limitation are making excuses for their lack of musical knowledge.

Theory is never a limitation. Just learn your damn craft properly and stop bragging about ignorance.

so, she want's to sound pretentious? because that's literally what high level jazz musicians do. except they come from a place of relative knowledge instead of trying to come off as some kinda bullshit savant.
