“Every time I play with a session musician, they’re like, ‘What are you doing? What chords are you playing? That chord doesn’t even exist!’” Why Gen Z guitar star Beabadoobee’s chords have confused her fellow guitarists – but won over Rick

Beatrice Laus, who performs under the moniker Beabadoobee, has firmly established herself as an indie rock and bedroom pop Gen Z guitar hero. Given her start as a violinist, and with influences ranging from Pinoy music to ’90s pop and rock, her approach to guitar playing is far from traditional – something that has raised some eyebrows and, at times, even outright confused guitarists from a more traditional background.

“The way I play guitar, every time I play with a session musician, they’re like, ‘What the fuck are you doing? What chords are you playing?’ They’re always like, ‘It sounds pretty, but that chord does not even exist!’ I don’t really follow any rules,” she explains in an interview with Mix Online.
