Yvette Young

Yvette Young is an American guitarist, composer and visual artist, leader of the band Covet. Her guitar playing is immediately recognisable: alternative tunings, creative use of capo, lyrical fingerstyle and a melodic sensibility that transcends genres.

What distinguishes Yvette is not only her technique but her overall artistic vision. Her compositions for Covet blend math rock, post-rock and emo in a way that is simultaneously complex and intensely emotional. Her lesson videos are valued precisely because they explain that creative process from the inside.

Beyond her musical career, Yvette is a visual artist and has designed her own guitars in collaboration with specialist makers. She is an example of a guitarist who has built a coherent and personal artistic universe.
