Something about this put a big goofy grin on my face. Thank you!
P.S. Adding this to my "Unconventional Covers" playlist.

She has a "version 2" as well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLFbZlYWaKc
I like this one quite a lot more, thank you for sharing it! I think it also helped me realize what it was about version 1 that put me off: It wasn't what I'm going to call the "ping pong note bending," because that was still pretty clearly present here, it was the way it was used for what felt like every sustained note instead of as an accent like it is in version 2. Rather than being the majority of the notes, those bends feel more like they're being used to wrap up musical phrases in version 2, so it flows together more cleanly to my ear.
For sure! I happened to come across it by accident while watching the first version.
I didn't expect to like this, and then I got goosebumps. Thanks.
Massively impressive and talented cover! I'm personally not a fan of the way the bends "bounce" (I don't know the right term - the way the bends repeatedly go up and down in pitch), but that's entirely a matter of personal preference since it's a fundamental technique when playing this instrument. I do think it's really neat how the bends were kind of used to replace the shredding from the original song though; super creative and not something I would have ever thought of. I may not put this in my personal playlist, but I loved seeing it and respect the concept and execution. Thanks for sharing!
