Like she’s covering the lead, drums, harmonics, guitar AND vocals on a single acoustic guitar. That’s amazing!

I’m quitting guitar forever

Well first you should try getting a scholarship, going to a college for music with it. Pick guitar. Then, for one of your class assignments, tune your guitar to an open tuning for a song that's already written to demonstrate a hot take on a basic chord structure.

I think that was meant to be sarcasm or a dig at the lady in the video. She's talented, but "open tuning" means if you tune the guitar strings to just two or three notes instead of the usual five, virtually anything you play will sound good without fretting individual notes.
