If you see Alicia keys with a guitar 🎸 its HER

She is really what the youth need today as a role model. Especially how she can sing express herself without cursing, or being half naked while performing!👏👍💯

Yes she's absolutely an Inspiration 🥰

eh

@@elsuity6580 huh

I disagree

The color is amazing too, I love blue

Finally ,someone with real talent! Such a sweetie ,and intelligent person...love her!

Lip Kipp 😂

Heck yea man

Neither of them compare to her at all. They might end up making more cash because of complexion. But talent wise she is light years above either of them

Yeah, no really need for comparison because HER has already proven herself to be in her own lane. I will say, if she were to be compared to another musical, it COULD be Debra Killings. They even favor each other to me.

@@GoldenGraham25 He’s not comparing he’s just listing different things they have

It’s funny, because especially the songs here in this video, and how they are performed, doesn’t touch my heart at all😂 the guitar solos seem to be a ton of noodling to me, without any red line in the Solo, any melodic target etc… IMO she can’t be compared to the great guitarists at all… but who of the youngsters can be? JM maybe, but he isn’t even a youngster anymore…😂

Taylor who? Like.... Taylor Swift?! I don't think she's known for her lyrics, is she? 😧

LEGEND!! her self titled is already a classic!

Yess!!🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤

Dang. Perfect comment. Hard to articulate what H.E.R means to me, but this is a quarter of it.

👌🏽

Me and you both 🥺

all of us do... this is the only way i can listen to it.. its not anywhere else :((

I read your comment and now I'm also listening to Glory 50 times a day :)

@@nin5126 oww amazing! This song is a masterpiece and the guitar solo, is just perfect ♥️

i don't think its matter of "normaliz(ing) guys being fans of women for who they are, Its a matter that there is just plane not a lot of artists worth looking up to as a musician, What makes H.E.R. different than most newer artists, is that Gabriella and her band are just that, a band, actually playing music, and actually passionate about it. If there were more female artists that cared about the musicianship of making music instead letting a bunch of record label executives make the music, then more guys would be fan of female artists. but because the people in charge of who gets record deals and who doesn't (that importance is fading but i'll get to that) if a female is noticed by a label then she is marketed mostly on her looks, and less care is (if any really) given to the music, (I mean when that girl from DR phil gets a record deal you know its not about the musicianship or craftmanship of making good music) I'm not going to listen to cardi b because of the way she looks, i'm going to listen for the music (i personally think her music is trash) and if that music lakes any real passion or human soul then that "artist" is a write off for me, (regardless of being male or female. people like Gabriella, who it seems have made it up the ladder on musicianship and talent appeal to me, I'm not even a huge R&B guy, (metalhead) but the simple fact is that companies like Fender, or Gibson or whatever don't make you signature instruments based on how you look. I'm not looking at fenders choice to make her a guitar as a gate keeping kind of validation, i'm just pointing it out that you need to be a musician for that to happen to you. Female artists like Billie Eilish, appeal to me as well because of the love for the music that she makes. even if their sound isn't generally what im listening to. Luckily the power that record labels have is diminishing and places like youtube and such (and the fact that decent recording gear is fairly cheap) is making it easier for people to make their own music and get heard. when more females take a hold of making music and focus on that then their fans (and subsequently male fans) and admirers will come to appreciate them for who they are and what they do, but if they rest on the fact that they can get a label to make their music for them and rely on being pretty, then nobody except the vapid and shallow are going to take notice, and at that they aren't really admiring them for who they are, they are just taking in eye candy.

Lmao how do you normalize something you idiot. Live and let live, people have always been fans of women artists

@@crescendo3869 whats wrong with you? Why do you reply to a positive post from a stranger by calling them an idiot?

@@blaness13, I read every word. I understand what you are saying and generally agree. The Love of what one does makes what one does worth doing. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. 👏👍✌🙏❤

@@blaness13 Well said

They toured together last year

Alicia Keys would be great, too.

@@wholeshebang1 search for Alicia Keys performing Dream On with H.E.R. , it kicks ass

I was just telling someone that if she also rapped which I sure she could do, she'd be just like Lauren.

@@KDragg4 she does!!! Check out her bet awards cypher it’s so dope

Hannah Mathers right

@@deonharrington7869 💯💯💯

@@deonharrington7869 Thought it was a really nice tribute to him too!

Who, Michelle Jackson ?

Michael jackson diedx

I hope that she did not copy from him and I would like to know if otherwise she clarified or not that she did sample

@@oliruby3481 She sampled and she sang a verse from the song. Also did an amazing guitar solo that clearly sounds like Earth Song.😊✨

Dude on jah

we don’t have to put other women down to lift her up too. they both slap.

Alayna respectfully I disagree, this isn’t putting down anyone. Just pointing out legitimate skill that is quantifiably greater than someone else’s Edit: 53 more talent points to be precise

Feel you! Imagine more girls aspiring to be like H.E.R.

we need a melanie faye signature next!!!!

You’re def gonna get yours

Ahhhh my two favorite artist everrrr!!!🥰🥰🥰

I don't have anything against her or her race, but that was such a weird way to get what you meaning across. Why even bring race into it?

@@jameshall5556 cause it's reasonable

@@gangonemfr9460 Very true.

@@jameshall5556 Other than Odetta and Sister Rosetta Thorpe there aren't a lot of well known female guitarist that are also people of color

@Athanasius Contra Marxism I'm curious. Do you think she doesn't deserve the signature guitar? No judgement. Just genuinely curious. I watched most of the video and she's pretty talented as a songwriter and guitarist although this type of music really isn't my thing. Sure there are better technical players, but I mean Blink182 got signature fenders. I have nothing against Blink182. I own most of their albums but guitar prodigies they are not.

4:53 replay button for Faith Solo.

it’s truly amazing music. watch her other performances too. her Prince tribute is a personal favorite. you can see her inspirations so clearly in her music and performances (Prince, Michael, Alicia, Stevie, Lauryn)

Absolutely

I know! Serious facts!

she rarely ever takes off the shades, but shes much better with them on. its her style, her artistic flair. sometimes they just add to the perfomance. watch her performance of Make It Rain at the BET awards and see how enticing it is when the audience is in the reflection of the shades

I cried

Do it. It’s hard to get started, but if you stick with it it’s hella fun. Inexpensive gear is so good now, too. It’s a great time to learn to play guitar.

Do it!! I myself just recently bought an electric & started learning, but if I had known she was coming out with one, I would've saved up to get it haha. She's so badass.

It’s a great and rewarding hobby you can do for the rest of your life. The guitar is such a versatile instrument also so you can be as creative as your mind will allow.

Do it mannn it’s hard at the beginning I’m still kinda of there do it

Please do!

She definitely made him smile up there.

Playing a pentatonic scale doesn’t automatically make her a blues player

What The hell, why should she be a blues player? Me personally, I am not touched at all by her music, and saying she’s a blues player is probably so wrong… no feel, no story is told by her music, no matter wether it’s the Guitar solos, or her singing, to me it misses the soul, the life, that the OG Blues Players have…

Did you get the guitar?

@@jimi272 No not yet.

@@BusiLethole ok, my advice: don’t waste your money on it😂👍 better buy a used, but better guitar…

@@jimi272 Is it not that good? Did you buy it?

I found her earlier in the year on Tiny Desk, I'd just been under a different rock 🎸

And play the piano

That's the best description for this I've read

Same! I pray I can get my electric after I get good on the AC guitar and then eventually bass (lol yess bass last). It’s amazing how she’s inspiring women to pick up guitars✨💐 stay consistent!💗

@@seeyanuhhs.7372 AC guitar? What's that? Do you mean acoustic?

Hows that going

She’s not a pop artist lok

I don't think I would call this pop at all, but the sentiment is there, so that was nice to say.

her category is R&B

Love the backing singers too! They are the beautiful icing on this cake. Nice mic settings for her too. Nice job sound engineer.

she is not a pop artist?

not everyone has the minor pentatonic as their cornerstone , some people take delight in dissing someones success because they didnt use the right pick or the right strings or the guitar was the wrong colour ... pick something you dont like and apply pressure ...so easy to dis without thinking or really caring in fact whats happening is the people hating on things for tiny reasons are building walls around themselves with doors you can only enter when you wear the right clothes , believe the same things , fly the same flags etc rush .. " rather the pride that resides in a citizen of the world than the pride that divides when a colourful rag is unfurled " ... paraphrase any given prejudice and substitute

SUPER STAR!!

Can we buy it ?

definite inspiration for H.E.R. (miss Prince so much)
