@@mworld2611 I'm curious why exactly this makes people think of the midwest?.. I've lived in the midwest my whole life and idk. If anything it makes me think of a cloudy forest or something, similar to some of Bon Iver's music
@@jadedjimmy I'd have to say its because of the vibe and the fact that that music probably comes from the midwest and a lot of people listen to it here. It sounds like something youd hear playing in your average, industrial, low to mid income, midwestern town. The kind of towns or small cities that you'd drive through when on a road trip and not pay much attention to. They all have weird names like "Aburdeen" or "Weston" and are usually surrounded by farm or ranch land.
This is exactly the way the conversation went after I helped my best friend of 15 years load up the last of his stuff into his U-Haul so he could move from suburban Detroit to Los Angeles. We shook hands, said something similar, and off he went. I miss you, dude.
@@TheGiorgosMao Too bad this is an edited video, meaning she played the part before on guitar and then added the video with the additional audio part that she saved before. Sorry to ruin your dream mate.
One of my favorite things about Yvette is how she seems to just be following where the guitar is leading her as she plays. Like, at 0:24 , she legit looks surprised at the sound that she just created! But she doesn't miss a beat and just keeps playing whatever comes to her and sounds best!
@@yoosh9034i think she's just more expressive and joyful because even i find myself surprised whenever i play something moderately difficult and it seems most musicians find it surreal to catch themselves in a flow state
@@junejune9619 Calm the fck down I'm just expressing an opinion. Who appointed you the defender of guitar swayers? Sworn to whine at the most innocent of comments
The midwest is around the central region of the USA, so like Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, etc! edit: and michigan, missouri, nebraska, and i think the dakotas count too!
Literally was searching for something like you're describing too. I found this guy on RU-vid music and probably Spotify named Coltan Fuller. Closest to typical lofi Playlist but mid west emo I could find.
@@chiragjampala1929 if you're still looking, William Tyler might scratch some of this itch. Here's my favorite of his songs: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DPNdF0ZPtsM.html
This type of music would make for such an awesome lofi/synthwave type genre. Music that makes you feel like you're in the semi-rural industrial midwest
I absolutely dig your style of playing. Ive been a fan of your music and band Covet since 2020. Dig it and cant get enough it! Much and love and respect. GrayFinch
This is my favorite video on the internet. I’m not joking by the way, like, I think I’ve watched it on and off 50 times or so. Midwest Emo rocks man! It really knows how to take you back to the angsty years but still manage to sprinkle happiness on them. Oh and improvising a riff like this is so dope. Awesome stuff!
sounds like a math rock version of “perth” by bon iver. a million people have probably pointed that out already… edit: feel like that came off harsh. i mean that as a very, very strong compliment
Literally everything in this video brings me back to growing up in Minnesota in the 80's and 90's. The melancholy of the opening riff, the resonant sparkly tone, video camera scanlines and leather guitar strap, and the glass bulb chandelier glinting off of the lighting that illuminates my memories. But most of all, the tangible carefree sense of wonder and excitement. Also, we've been at the door saying goodbye for 35 minutes, but I can't bring myself to uncheck the Loop option.
Midwest emo is the most ironic subgenre. You constantly see listeners saying, "I could cry to this.", but it's such a happy and beautiful sound. I hear it a lot in the DJENT style within various metal subgenres, Sarah Longfield's various works or Animals as Leaders being good examples.
I mean that what nostalgia and bittersweet memories are :happy and beautiful parts of our life , only tainted by sadness because they are gone and we may never feel that way again
@@razarac432 well one day in the future you’ll look back on today with the same thought. Like when I listen to nostalgic music now, I just know I’ll experience this again in the future even if I don’t know it yet. If that made any sense
@@basharalbutseggs8056 what I meant to say is that there is no contradiction between people feeling sad and crying to this type of music , even if it sounds happy : happy memories can make you sad when you feel the moment has passed and wont ever be the same
@@razarac432 An interesting kind of sadness, isn't it though? Like half gratitude and half fear that things will never be the same. I think this is an area where words fail to capture the emotion, and ironically music like this is actually our best representation.
I’m 26 and I’ve played guitar since I was 13. People around me generally think I’m pretty good but watching you completely melts any ego or notion that I’m a decent player away. Something new to aspire to! Lovin your work
I feel this way too, but it's important that there are many measures for what "good" means, and you can be good within the context of the things you want to do and the people around you are probably right Keep playing
Recently found your page and I'm so glad I did! I've listened to this riff DOZENS of times and you inspired me to get back into guitar after several years. Just bought your telecaster actually :) Thank you so much for being you and doing what you love.
This is incredible. There is so much guitar talent on youtube it's insane. Almost every day I come across someone who's so good I can't even believe what I'm hearing O.o
i can totally see it for sure, but i'm just surprised how someone would make that sort of immediate connection _before_ comparing it to American Football
0:34 through the end makes me feel sick about moving away from the suburbs in a couple months. I grew up in one big suburban town, it's all I know, but music by Yvette and other artists makes the pain and uncertainty easier to cope with.
Dude i’m moving from the town i grew up in 4 weeks, i’m pretty much scared and sad, but as you said, the music makes it easier to cope. We will be fine
dang, I got chills reading that as I imagined what it would be like going through major life changes myself. For example changing jobs, moving away, saying goodbye to an old friend who's moving away or passing away. Major life changes for better or for worse with feelings of excitement, nostalgia, anxiety or fear of the uncertainty of the future, with a sense of pain and relief, suffering and peace all at once. All right I'm rambling again. My point is I agree, this music is cool and really makes you feel something.
It's crazy I heard that Eb major arpeggio and thought it was some super harmonically complex segment and then I figured it out on my piano it was just an arpeggio. This video is seriously a masterclass on how you don't need insane knowledge to make beautiful music, just lots of experience + good vibes
OK, so. I play stoner metal. Everything I look for in my guitar tone is the most saturated distortion, the mightiest sustain and the noisiest feedback. I couldn't be farther from this music genre. Still, everything Yvette composes hits me harder than any stoner/doom song I ever listened. She's inestimable.
This is some.of the best guitar work ive ever seen. Going from the arpeggio like work straight into the chords and then back again is insane. It take serious dedication to one even do that let alone get so goddamn clean like wtf.
love the mix of styles here... especially the glitchy delay part which was unexpected but used perfectly to separate the two sections of the tune! would make great intro music for a tv show.
I swear, I never get tired of watching how into jamming out you get. The joy is plastered all over your face while you're playing and I'm here for every bit of it 😂❤
I could hear a man driving in his pick up doing a monologue about the good ol’ days he spent in the town he’s driving away from. He talks about the experiences and the people, as he laments his necessary decision to skip town.
So this is intriguing, I'm clearly black but also a thorough midwesterner (not chicago, ruralish) who is now 31, meaning I was in high school back when fallout boy was the biggest thing on the planet. What interests me the most is perhaps a realization that this also seems to align with the vibes I got from watching FLCL in that same time period. Very cool/nostalgic.
so chill, so talented, and to top all that - a lovely smile throughout. Can clearly see you enjoy doing this a lot which makes it far more enjoyable for us watching :) Have a lovely life and those in the comments too
Wow.. That's beautiful! Honestly I only heard of you through a tonewood amp ad because I was looking at tonewood for my acoustic and decided to check you out. I'm hooked after this.
So. Damn. Good. The joy you have while playing. You remind me of Eric Johnson with how it feels you know, but still discover the music while you’re playing.
