Nice post Richard! Have watched her many times,and she is without a doubt a very talented girl!! She has a very laid back and smooth style that I enjoy!!

Yes, excellent fingerstyle playing, Richard. I like the delicate tap you mention, and also the way that she lets the strings ring as she does it. The more strongly percussive effect on damped strings we more often see is less to my taste I have to admit. She also seems to be using long right hand nails, which I assume are artificial ones. Sometimes nails this long can lead to a rather hard sound, it seems to me, but Gabriella’s sound is very pleasing.

Oh yes, she is always a treat to watch and listen to. I am a fan of hers!
Her nails are acrylic, the sound she produces is amazing, so crisp and clear!

And to imagine that she arranges the songs totally by ear, she doesn’t know music theory – is just mind-blowing to me. I would think she knows some theory NOW after all those years but when she first started (and was good at it) she didn’t even know the names of the chords she was playing. That’s fascinating to me!

Incredible technique and easy to look at. 😉

Excellent soulful playing.

Excellent piece, that was a treat. Must look at other work she has done. Poetry in motion.
