This girl's name is Juliette Valduriez and she lives in France. I chose her for Riff of the Month because she brings a relaxed playing style to the table along with impressive speed, accuracy, and feel. In the past, playing the guitar has mostly been a male-dominated activity, but it's refreshing to see more and more females entering the realm of 4, 6, and 7 strings these days. Not to mention, most of my guy friends who play guitar would have a really tough time keeping up with these chops. To check out more of her material, please visit her youtube channel. I'll leave you with one more of her impressive takes. Cheers!
What is Hi-Z vs. Lo-Z? What do people mean when they talk about “Mic Level”, “Line Level”, and “Impedance”? First, let’s look at Mic Level sources. These are considered to be either at Hi-Z or Lo-Z : Hi-Z – High Impedance, High Voltage, Low Current Keywords : Guitars, Basses, Instruments; Short Cable Runs, Better Sustain, More Interference. Most of us will come to associate Hi-Z impedance equipment with things like guitars, basses, and 1/4” connector plugs. Inside of a Hi-Z cable, there are only two conductors: a “positive” and a ground. Since there is no negative cable (such as in a Lo-Z cable) to balance the positive cable, both capacitance and reactance suffer with increasingly longer cables. In layman’s terms, this means your sound loses quality and gets noisier once your cable exceeds roughly 15’ – 20’. (Ever wonder why it’s hard to find guitar cables longer than 20’? Now you know why!) Fun Fact : Vacuum tube circuits have na...
