What an amazing player! From Jermaine Jackson through Iron Maidens to Alice Cooper, that's such a huge journey and to be able to survive it musically means rapid adaptation and consistent performance. Strauss is one of those rare musicians who clearly puts in hours on hours on hours of work to get where she is today. Commendable and downright fucking inspiring.

Lee behaving at 25:15 😂.. “hang in there Captain… don’t smirk.”

I'm just really impressed how much better the captains playing has gotten over the last 3-4 years.

LEE!!!!! With the rock licks!! YEAH MAN!

I really like Nita, she seems so unaffected by her fame.

Well done Cap'n - only the merest hint of a smirk when she said 'got my rack out'.

Usually in Andertons' guitar demo videos I see Rob always outclassing the Captain when they're jamming..never giving a chance for Cap to shine But in the beginning of this video I finally saw Cap shredding beautifully when Rob's not around. hahaha that was amazing, Captain!

"When I first got my rack out" Lee, you did so well to keep a straight face there mate. Pro!

I always liked Nita Strauss. She is a wonderful and amazing musician. I'm very glad that there are such musicians. :)🎸😎🤩🎩

If Lee gets Tosin Abasi on "Captain Meets" my life would be complete.

I didn't know who NIta Strauss was until this video. Searched her up, found out she had a hand in the soundtrack for Metal Gear Rising. Holy fucking shit, she's god.

Captain was the best in the intro jam

Holy SHITE! Captain this was awesome!! great interview and play thru. Nita caught my attention in the Iron Maidens

I came to hear her play. I bet not many others did.

She's lovely. I really enjoyed watching the video and listen to her talk. Thank you "Captain Lee", for inviting her and making such a great content.

She is wonderful. Great player, great sense of humor and terrific outlook on life.

Nita is not only a highly talented musician but on top of that she is a gorgeous woman inside and out. The real deal.

I’m so glad to see so many super talented women playing as much and as well as men, finally!

Nita is awesome. She hasn't let fame go to her head. She talks like shes just hanging with friends.

I love both of them so much! Amazing playing, wow!

Check out fuckin Lee holding his own in a metal-ish jam. Great job...great interview.

Holy shit captain! What a jam mate! I really hope one day the stars align and John Mayer shows up at your door for a video like this! I love these captain meets videos!

Nita Strauss is so cool and one hell of a guitar player. Glad to see she is now playing with the big names. She is just doing what she loves and man is she good at it. Great playing Lee

Love Nita and love Blackstar, couldnt be happier unless I had more of both in my life.

awesome video, Nita seems like such a great person to talk gear and music with.

Wait, what? Just watching the first few minutes....Cap'n got himself some rock chops! Seriously, nice one dude :)

My favorite youtube channel interviewing 1 of my top 4 modern guitar heros. Adding to "Greatest KZfaq Videos Of All Time" playlist before it even gets past the intro.

I keep coming back for that Captain solo at the beginning. So good and tasteful.

That was a damn amazing opening jam

Nita is very down to Earth and humble. A great role model for girls wanting to play instruments professionally, in general.

She's great. What an awesome musician and inspiration for both male and female players. Cool lady!

How engaging Nita is..down to earth, just someone from next door..great interview Captain.

That was just great, what a very nice lady , and such a fantastic guitarist, well done Captain, love all your vids.

Such a sweet woman! Love hearing her talk about her gear and playing.

Such an excellent player. I love these Captain meets videos. Keep them coming!

This was my first time actually listening to her play. This chick shreds!!!! Amazing.

Captain?? Shredding?? My life is complete

Nice make-up Rob and hair colour! Today surgery makes miracles!

Nice Interview as always Captain Lee. I love the series. Nita seems to be a very humble and lovely person. That was fun to watch.

Love Nita. She's first class both as a player and as a person! Cool interview.

When Ralph's character is playing classical guitar, the close up hands are William Kanengiser -- who's a classical guitarist from the Los Angles Guitar Quartet.

I was waiting for more of a shred but was surprised hearing her playing some rock solos :D

Massive respect for her, no bullshit attitude - just hard work.

Nice one Lee! Great interview! Love Nita she is sooooo cool!!!! Thanks for doing this :-)

I personally think companies like MusicMan making signature with people like St. Vincent is one right step for woman in guitar; sometimes aesthetics of rock scene is very man-orientated but I think it's refreshing to see women onstage shredding or playing cool licks.

It **kills me how humble, smart, talented and classy Nita is. I wish everyone were this cool.

Absolutely awesome! Nita is a true rock god!

What I really like about her is her respect and love for the instrument. She´is great, doesn't have to be the best guitar player, she´a great musician! great artist.

I have never seen The Captain so nervous, it's like he is 16 year old boy with a crush.

I remember back in the days when I was first starting out when the subject of female guitarists came up, the normal expectation was of some female folk artist strumming an acoustic. When a woman like Lita Ford or Nita, who displayed skills or even just played a more aggressive style of rock or metal or punk came along they used to say they played like a man... Especially if they could shred. The mindset is changing... While guys, myself included, think it's sexy to see an attractive woman with a guitar, if she has skills people are more likely to say she plays well... Without adding "for a chick" on the end. Female guitarists at Nita's level are still a rarity, but there is more attention being drawn to them and whether it's that other women will become inspired to reach that level or just that people's mind sets are changing, there will be more.

the QUEEN of rock i adore Nita the hard work is finally paying of for her .

Nita's awesome. And hearing her talk about Ibanez reminded me what it was like getting my hands on one for the first time - turns out I still want one, some fifteen years on... And as ever, great interviewing from the Captain - and good to hear you getting the distortion out!

The captain is so nervous. Lol

Pause at 7:26 you can see Captain having a cheeky glance there lol

I LOVE Lee's playing soooooooooo muuuuuuuuch!!!!!

Another great interview, and Lee your playing is getting excellent. I was proud of you holding your own in a style you don't normally play in

That was a sick jam, get in there Cap! :D

Captain, Ibanez and distortion, that´s new :D

Wow, Nita is just an awesome guitarist. Rock on.

Lovely folk talking about the musical journey. Nita is beautiful and rocking. Lee, some tasty playing. Yeah... Digging this series!

I think "Crossroads " and the Steve Vai scene at the end has inspired so so many people to learn to play. As guitarists, we owe a debt of gratitude to Steve Vai, an Iconic guitar player. Btw...I love the tones Nita gets from her cool Ibanez.👌🏼😎

Captain sneaky ass peak at 7:25 AHAHAHAHAHHA

Great video, huge crush on Nita . Thanks Capt.

watched 1 of nitas clinics and was impressed with her knowledge and willingness to teach others.

25:16 the captain holding back the rack gag😂

She’s a great ambassador for Ibanez.

Brutal and awsome to have Nita in here, sooo cool!! I liked this alot, great to have her to this channel!! I like to have a "not super shredder", but a "feelgood guitar player" for once in awhile! Rock on

Nita is an outstanding awesome guitarist respect! There playing together was amazing loved it excellent interview Lee! :-).

The captain showing Nita how its done ;) ....Jokes !! Nita is an awesome guitarist too !!

Great interview, I loved it when Nita mentioned getting her rack out. No seriously she is a great guitar player. We need more females in rock.

Great freakin meeting. REally enjoyed the hell out of it.!!

Capitan you got the one and only Nita Strauss, bravo. Talented and a babe. Successful as well obviously. Great video as always.

Captains face when she said "get my rack out" 😂😂😂😂

The moment you realize the Captain's playing is just as sexy as Nita

Awesome interviewer Capt. & she was great. Always great to see "celebs" that are down to earth and she comes off cool as hell.

great stuff Lee! I really enjoy these video's. There is so much inspiration and so much fun in these for me.

KZfaq comment sections turn into a gross wasteland whenever there is a female musician on screen.

Alice Cooper has impeccable taste in Guitarists ! First Orianthi and then Nita . Stunning Ladies with a shitload of talent to boot !

The best Lee´s rock solo ever in the intro! :)

loved that they've started with such a cool jam! great interview!

Captain lee i know this is not your style but you did it really well great job. there is no doubt you can call yourself a guitar player now you just happen to own a guitar store as like a back up thing.

I saw her play with Alice Cooper a few months back. Not once did I doubt her. She was godly! I've never seen a person doubt a female player just because of their gender.

Brilliant interview with a brilliant, articulate guitar player.

Great player and good to see that she is so down to earth and smart. Nice smokey Ibanez S.

Such a talented guitarist and musician.

What a nice lady..............refreshing, cool, relaxed, touring with bands for half her life and still down to earth. Note for note on the 'I'm eighteen solo'. Good stuff. She's doing it in real life not like 99.9% of the wankers who without doubt will reply in a negative way.

One of the best interviews yet. Very interesting.

Lee held it together well at 25:10 I thought when Nita says "when I first got my rack out". Great interview and insight as always Capt, keep them coming.

"When I first got my rack out..." O...o YES!! lol

Shes probably the best female guitarist I have ever heard

Crossroads! Awesome Ry Cooder sountrack! For crying out loud Lee! hahaha. That movie made me start listening to blues. :)

3 minutes of coolness...nice job Lee....kicking it with Nita.....

I bet the king of innuendo the Captain was smiling when she said she got her rack out for her tech

I'd really like to see a video where Lee meets a true blues guitarist :D

Look at the Captain shredding out with Nita! Bang on Lee its nice to see the captain shred without rob around sometimes

Beautiful guitar, beautiful tone, beautiful woman, what a hell of a combo. Keep up the great work!

16:18 Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

LOL 7:45 - 7:51 "He goes to hell, like we all do..." If her tone and playing alone wasn't enough, she wins with that right there!

More jams like this please. I'd love a Nita + Captain review gear series with these kinds of jams!

that was amazing!!!. just bought a guitar and have not stopped playing this to solo over it
