Re: headphones

usually for monitoring purposes.....could be just posing...or perhaps plain ugly ears
if the foldback system is ok headphones shouldn't be necessary

depends on the circumstances.....post link

Re: headphones

blimey...very nice.....excellent playing

reasons for earphones....she monitoring the track ie if she didn't have earphone on
she wouldn't here any music to play to

what we can here is whats shes recorded ..mixed with the track...and posted on you tube
+ i bet theres nothing up with her ears

Re: headphones

Apparently, according to her public facebook, Jamiroqai had found her playing on some covers on youtube, they invited her to play on their South American tour.All her 9 covers are great
It is amazing what you find on youtube.This guitarist  has posted 15 songs on youtube, and nothing is known about her despite loads of websites trying to find out about her, she seems to have just vanished.The nonchalant way she plays makes it look so effortless.Her last post was 10 months ago.She doesnt wear earphones though.

Re: headphones

if gavins' learning bass he 'll probably use his pinkie more than his ring finger
esp at the nut end due to the greater fret spacing..be interesting to hear what
his teachers approach is
