Yvette Young makes my head explode

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yYxjux-gJ-k Young used her background in piano to use polyphony on a guitar. She taught herself guitar by ear . She notes, "I write with my ear, so I’m not really in a box in terms of chord shapes. And I don’t use [traditional] shapes at all, which freaks a lot of people out! I have a million different tunings I work in too so I didn’t really put in the time to learn every shape in every tuning, that would be ridiculous" .She uses a technique of singing the part out loud and then replicating it on guitar to decipher the parts of the songs she writes.
