I've watched this video countless times and still amazed at this girl's talent. She's definitely got it going on.....

Wow! I am blown away by her clean, hip licks! Thanks for posting this, GnLguy. I especially like the funk jam.

I found this video 3-4 years ago and go back and watch it on occasions. Su is amazing to say the least.
Dame Guitars are Korean copies of various Gibson & Fender models that doesn't seem to be exported to the US. (maybe they are under a different name). I imagine Su is an employee of that company

That's where my interest lies. Let's put it that way. But I really liked the funk jam more than the blues number!

I sorta agree with Phil. Kids like her make me wanna load up all my guitars and gadgets, drive them over to Guitar Center, cash out, and buy beer with the proceeds.
Both performances are good but I agree that the "funky" one is better to listen too, starts off with that nice nod to the Doobie Brothers. Watching her right hand is fascinating, during some sections she's got a constant "strum" going on irrespective of how many or few notes she's playing on any pass over the strings. SRV used to do that a lot too. I've tried to imitate it but haven't found the knack. I wind up sounding like a really inept hard-core punk rocker just bashing the strings with the sole intent of making the ugliest noises possible.

Yeah. You have to mute the strings you don't want sounded. It's quite a trick to begin with. I've not mastered it either.
Don't sell out! Once you drink the beer, then what? Seriously, I know how you feel, I've felt that way before. Just keep on playing your own music and don't worry about the stand-outs like Su. As Frank Zappa once said, no one can play your own music as well as you can.

As Frank Zappa once said, no one can play your own music as well as you can. JG Like many of us, I had to put guitar on hold until the family was raised, career was behind me and the need to help my parents was fulfilled. I now go thru times of being irritated with my progress, but I won't let it make me put the guitar down again.
On the rhythm scratching that SRV, Su and many others are using, here is an exercise that I have been using and seems to help. Mute the strings in the area of the chord that is in the progression (around the 5th fret for A, 8th for C, etc). At this point, don't be concerned with the note. Just mute the strings and use the scratching rhythm in tempo with a song or metronome I like to use a progression just so I can hear actual music being played. Try to accent the backbeat at times. Then, say the progression is on an A chord - hit just the A note, 4th string 7th fret, on the 2 and 4 beat while muting the other strings, Change and hit the A note only on beats 1 and 3.
