Playing Style
Young has a strong foundation from learning classical music and theory, but her playing style was influenced primarily by the sound and alternative tunings used by the bands Toe and American Football. She also used her inspiration from polyphonic melodies found in Baroque music to create a fuller sound. Another way that she creates music is by starting out with an idea for a vocal melody, then chasing that melody for hours on the fretboard, trying to accompany it with simpatico harmonies on the guitar.
Young uses both hands to tap, slide, hammer-on and pull-off, combining this with open tunings such as FACGAE, DADF#AE, FACGBE and more.
