Yvette Young is an American guitarist, composer, and visual artist known for her distinctive, melodic approach to guitar and her work as the frontwoman of the math rock band Covet. Classically trained on piano and violin, her music blends technical complexity with emotional sensitivity, resulting in a sound that feels both intricate and uplifting. Young is celebrated for her two-handed tapping technique, lush chord voicings, and clean tone—often creating cascading, harp-like textures that defy traditional rock guitar norms. Her style weaves together elements of math rock, post-rock, prog, and ambient music, with a strong emphasis on melody and atmosphere.
Mary Spender is a British singer-songwriter, guitarist, and content creator known for blending music, tech, and storytelling. She gained popularity both as a musician and through her successful YouTube channel, where she shares interviews, gear reviews, tutorials, and insights into the music industry. With a background in classical music and a love for guitar, she bridges the gap between traditional musicianship and modern content creation.Mary Spender’s musical style blends the introspective storytelling of a singer-songwriter with the finesse of blues, jazz, and soul influences.
About Fretless - The Wrath of Riffson
In Fretless - The Wrath of Riffson, players step into the shoes of Rob, a friendly musician striving to restore harmony in a world out of tune, where zany villains are corrupting music. Rick Riffson, the CEO of Super Metal Records (SMR), is using the Battle of the Bands competition to tighten his grip on every note, chord, and song by trapping the best musicians and stealing their souls.
Joined by Rob and his rockstar friends, players embark on an epic quest to thwart SMR's nefarious plans. Caution is crucial, as Riffson’s diabolical minions, monstrous instrument hybrids, and legendary musical animals will stand in the way!
As they explore this vibrant musical world, players will add killer riffs to their arsenal and wield their powerful guitars to unleash crescendo attacks in epic battles!
