Lars Gotrich | February 7, 2025 Yasmin Williams is a fingerstyle guitarist who taps, slaps and slides up and down the fretboard of her instrument with a commanding sense of scenery that flickers between the strings. Storytellers build worlds; at the Tiny Desk, Williams invites us into hers.

“With her bittersweet melodies and pop-minded songcraft, she has already developed a style both inviting enough to appeal beyond genre borders, and inventive enough to raise the bar in instrumental guitar music.”
