Tim Borek nicked from Connor McGregor... Devoid of originality

Probably on NoFap. 😃

Live show mistakes are what make it "live!" Nita, Keith Richards, etc. are all human and humans make mistakes.

Having nice breasts and shapely thighs doesn't hurt

Talent doesn't exist. Practice practice practice and All is coming.💯🤘

@@SaintHochiminhAkioMingShanXiao True, three rules,#1 practice, #2 practice, #3 , refer to first two rules.

A goddamn beautiful, sexy and hot as hell woman kick ass guitar player.

I actually love her guitar. Perfect specs in my opinion.

Dude you do know that all of the stuff in the final scene was Vai rite? Some people think it's Rye Cooder but in the final scene it's all Vai doing both guitars.

I'm guessing they got to have "ASAP videos" for promoting Ibanez new products and Nita hasn't got time for proper interview (which usually) on Sweetwater headquarter

It's the content what counts..

That was done in Nita's dressing room at the South Bend show....welcome to the glamorous world of touring folks!

Personal preference.

i noticed that too whenever she plays her ibanez (through her marshall) in interview situations. it's just a bit too noisy, dunno if it's the pickup or the settings. less is sometimes more.

I definitely see the Cooper gig as bitter sweet. On one hand you travel the world, play your guitar, meet people, make money, that's great. The downside is you're playing the same material day after day... and it's not your material. It's the same routine over and over and you have very limited time to do your own thing. If you're constantly toning your playing down in the process in order to play the part and not flexing your muscles you will lose technique. Period. This is quite a common rut for "hired guns" to get into. I think in the long run it stunts creativity and leads to frustration. Anything can become mundane, I don't care how great it is initially. Nita is definitely not a bluesy rock player. I don't mean that as a knock, it's just obvious when I listen to her play. When she plays "bluesy" runs it's sounds very forced and stiff. Even the pitch of the bends are wonky. This is where I think Orianthi had an advantage in the Copper band, she is a bluesy rock player, when she plays blues it just flows, it's natural for her. I'm not in the Orianthi fan club or anything, i'm just a fellow long time musician giving an opinion. Oh and I know people will say "pro guitar players don't criticize other players". That's BS, they may not do it publicly on Twitter or KZfaq, or if they do they may use an alias. The music business is the same deal as the acting business, you want to keep your mouth shut publicly so you don't burn bridges, so you lie publicly and shoot it straight privately. Secondly, an opinion doesn't equal criticism. The Copper gig is a great gig.... but everything has a price though. I was always a believer that it's better to build your own house than to maintain somebody's else's house.

I doubt that there's really much to worry about here. She has shown what she can do when it's her own music and she said in this interview that she has a solo project that she is working on now. I hadn't heard about her before she started playing for Alice, so there are benefits to this gig. In the meantime, she gets to do what she loves for a living in a band that has had a number of other great guitarists before her. I'm sure that she'll be fine.

As if the Iron Maidens were musically a cut above Alice Cooper

Iwith the lack of public and label support these days for metal style music I'd imagine the Alice gig is to secure a financial future to ensure that future projects are funded and get the exposure ... On some level anyway , also it doesn't suck to be a young famous hot blondie touring the world w/a world famous troop w/sold out shows every night ! I'm sure we will see her branch off sooner than later ... She literally couldn't get any f'n hotter !!! It'd be nice to see her w/her own stable of like minded mercs doing their own thing !

Jak Angelescu you are on drugs. She still has all of those projects the only difference is now most of us have heard of them because Alice Cooper gave her fame... but it's cool man people like you who have never done a damn thing like to sit on the internet and talk about the horrible decision somebody else made... even though here we are watching her interview and nobody is watching a damn thing you have ever done.

LOL!! That "storage closet" was Nita's dressing room (read "home for several hours!") at the South Bend show. 100% "real life" - welcome to the always glamorous world of touring...even at Alice Cooper's esteemed level, my friends!!

thehotsixer1 hhhmmm

I don't consider Nita a shredder. I know she considers herself one which is cool but to me somebody on the level of a Guthrie Govan is a shredder to me. Even if you have the technique on the level of say a Guthrie Govan I don't think it's ever a good idea to label yourself. I also disagree with the saying "there is no talent just obsession". Ambition, obsession, timing, hard work, your thought process, is a huge part of becoming successful in anything, but talent helps as well. You don't need an abundance of talent to succeed in the music "business", we all know that, but it's always refreshing when somebody does have some talent. I think there's a distinction between the ambitious hard working pro musicians with a little talent and the ambitious hard working pro musicians with a lot of talent. I never heard of a legendary musician that impacted music/society who didn't have a lot of talent. There's mountains and there's ant mounds.

I agree with you. There's definitely a difference between being obsessed with something and working hard, versus working hard and being really talented. I don't care how hard you work, if you don't have some natural ability you will just be good, but not great.

peoplevsradio317 she did come from very humble means and earned everything she has.

Street Lethal As a long time guitar player (since 1984) I've got to, sort of, disagree about being able to just pick up and play. Some people need more time to warm up than others. I've been a session/studio player mostly but I have noticed in my old(er) age that it takes me longer to warm up. My hands feel really tight and uncoordinated when I pick up any guitar but after playing for 45-60 minutes I can sweep all around the neck. Never took that long when I was young but it happens to the best of us. I'm certainly not defending her but I can appreciate if she was "cold" when the interview started. I've talked to many guitar players with the same problem after playing 25+ years. Just my two pennies.

I understand, I've been playing for quite a long time myself and I agree that players need to warm up, some more than others. My point is most pro players I know have a baseline that they play at even when cold. Most of them, I can speak for myself and the people I know, have a certain level of technique that's always there regardless of the environment, equipment, etc..Now of course they will play more fluidly and play more difficult licks after warming up for a bit but even cold... a pro player should not be struggling with the riffs and licks she's playing here. IMO. As mentioned this is something I've consistently noticed with her in interviews. I know she has a decent left hand and legato from hearing some of her other work which is why this pattern I've noticed with her in interviews is perplexing to me.

Nita is a glorified "hot" guitar player. The guitar community has put her in this pedestal that is uncontested for so long now, I've seen hotter Eastern European chicks who can shred faster and more accurate on KZfaq, but they don't speak English, advantage Nita. She has charisma, but her playing is as stock and generic as it could get, she uses waay too much gain which amplifies her sloppiness. I hope people should realize she's not as good as they make her ought to be. I will say it again, Lari Basilio is the BEST female guitar player alive, and I don't even think Nita is even close to her musical skills.

Ken T playing fast means nothing - I don’t compare players but Lari is great complete player - she is a great Rythym player and that’s the key to being a great lead player . Solos are not all about playing 32 note runs chromatically or linearly .

Ken T I agree high gain covers mistakes ! I am working hard on my playing and I play mainly clean and practice clean always , I love chorus and delay and reverb . Not a fan of muddy distortion . Jazz and funk , rock and R and B and blues are my passion in a fusion . I don’t care about shredding . My speed will come last in development . It’s all about timing and groove , fretboard knowledge and great note phrasing and taste - sloppy and fast is not worth it !

None of those guys were big shots when they started. Everyone starts small. In 10 years she will be just as big
