Smiling while playing a Dimebag solo like it's nothing.  The arrogance   She's not even looking at the fretboard most of the time.  She staring at the viewer as if to say "piece of cake". 

I've been playing guitar a long time and I still can't nail that solo even while looking at the fretboard lol

Kayla Kent!  She's great. 

Have you watched the one where she sent something to Paul Gilbert and he sent a video back saying she should change her left hand position?

Yea I watched that last night.  It was on her Q&A video about things she regretted when she first started learning.  She sent him a video asking for help to improve her melody lines, composition, or something, and all he did was critique how her left hand is holding the neck. Then she threw in snippets of how her "bad" left hand technique is still there but she can shred like Dimebag.  Hilarious but left me feeling sympathetic for her AND PG.

If that story is accurate then I'm sorry but that's inexcusable from PG.  Shame cos he always strikes me as such a nice bloke who wouldn't do anything malicious.  I'd love to hear his side of that story.  There's gotta be a rational explanation.

Thanks for the heads up.  Fixed it! (hopefully)

It's not her left hand technique that needs attention as much as her tone. 
That is absolutely atrocious.

Muscle memory is a lovely thing, j/s

She’s looks -  bored?

I'd block her.

deffo block her.
She has one of those false kim kardiashian voices that melodically croaks up and down which gets right on my hampton. 
And she plays a kramer with cereal packet stickers on it ffs.

I think that's actually close to Dimebag's tone back in the Cowboys era. But i agree it's crap. Love Dimebag but hated his tone back then.

She can't help how she speaks!

Block her because she does blow job eyes the entire way through every single one of her videos and it's incredibly awkward.

He's quite a nerdy, goofy sort of guy and he seems to be getting increasingly eccentric as he gets older.  He probably thought he was being really helpful.

I think portraying him as a crusty old 'splainer was a bit harsh on PG there. The most he might have been guilty of was homing in on something he'd spotted which he thought could be helpful but was, unfortunately, off-track...probably happens a lot on the conveyor belt of online tuition.

In the spirit of helpfulness, I also wonder if his advice was based more on repitition and protecting the wrist / tendons / whatever/ by using more "correct" posture than helping her technique per se. Young people have a way of not caring about preserving their bodies, because they are invincible. Correct technique can help mitigate against RSI / pain type isues after years of use.

I don't know cause I'm a philistine who's never had formal lessons. But a lot of advice I got when younger was about stuff like this. As I've aged it's made a lot more sense. I've got  different tremolo picking approaches: one for sustainability, my own crappy one for speed, a slightly different one for the top string and so on.

I do hope that there is a rational explaination or crossed wires. But I also choose to believe what she says casue the microagressions and regular shit women guitarists get is just undeserved.
