  • Hope you don't mind me sharing your vids on my Facebook page, I can't help but put it out there so everyone can see how awesome you are.

  • @MFAsh1969 No problem. Thanks for all the nice comments, and for doing that!

  • I've looked at some of the older stuff you made, you are really getting a soulful tone to your voice now.

  • @TheRobreed3 Thank you! I'm glad you are noticing improvement. Cheers.

  • This maybe my favorite youtube channel

  • @LedZeppelin420x Gosh, thanks!

  • You sing too? Not sure how I ended up here but I watched some of your performances. I don't wanna sound stupid and cliche but you really have something. And I'm sure a thousand peope have said that to you but they mean it. Keep it up. Nobody plays like this at fifteen.

  • @yeahthatsjesse Wow, wow! Thank you very, very much! I'm in awe over what you had to say. Thanks, again!

  • what are you using for backup? I'm looking to make my own backing tracks.

  • @hennysal439 I am using a Boss Dr. 880. 

  • @bluesbaby8 I've been watching your videos and I can definitely tell that you are destined for big things. Obviously you have talent with a guitar, but you have a fine voice as well. You remind me very much of Bonnie Raitt early on. Keep playing, and it'll get you far.

  • Dang girl you can jam, you should be famous!

  • WOW OMG!!! WOW!!!! this Angel can play ,keep the Blues coming and I'll keep listening....

  • im begining to be a huge fan...keep going, you are going places.beautiful!

  • @afroturfburn69 Wow, thanks!! I can't thank you enough!

  • love it.keep at it.

  • @fireeyes1018 Thank you!

  • Get a copy Stevie Ray Vaughn & Albert King "In session" ....study it, you have wonderful talent and we need more like you! Good job.....keep picking.

  • @wbhopper Thank you. I appreciate your kind words!! I actually already have that CD, and I have listened to it numerous times. It is such a great album! :)

  • Wow, VERY good! I watched some of your other videos from when you were younger...your playing has acquired a LOT more character and you're great! Keep it up, little sister!

  • @mercster2000 Thank you so much for all the wonderful words. I am so glad you noticed improvement, too. That's always a great thing to hear!

  • ur the coolest person ever thank god we got a few youth to keep good music alive

  • @kirklands0912 Oh, thank you!! That mean so much!

  • Just passing through you tubing.That's really good playing. Cool :)

  • @DavidFromCardiff Thank you! 

  • Very nice work! Kudos to you for paying tribute to the blues masters. You have a very nice voice as well. Good luck!

  • @buzzgun2000 Thank you so very much!

  • Alicia- Wonderful feel and phrasing! (at any age!) For ain interesting look at another prodigy recorded when he was also 15, check out the playing of Shuggie Otis on an old Al Kooper album originally titled "Kooper Session".

  • @easguitar Thank you for the great words. I love Shuggie Otis! He plays very distinctly and he has a lot of feeling to his phrasing, too.

  • My daughters ipod is full of Hannah Montana, Selena Gomez, Jonas Brothers, ect ect snore, snore zzz zzzzz zzzz.... I don't like any of it, but this young lady is amazing, THIS is what my kid should be listening to! Someone needs to get her a record deal! Please stick to the music you love, don't get all "Pop-y" for a CD. I'm betting you'll be famous! The permanent non "flavor of the week" kind. The old blues saints (SRV, Muddy ect...) would be proud of you for keeping the blues alive!

  • @lowew79 Haha, I know what you mean. The kids at my school are exactly the same. And, I agree, that pop stuff is so generic and boring.

    Thank you for all these wonderful words. You are far too generous! I am in awe over all the extremely nice things you had to say.

    I'm sorry for being so late with my response.

  • @bluesbaby8 No problem young lady! Sorry for spamming your vids with my praises! It's nice of you to reply to everyone that comments on your vids like you do, just increases your charm!

  • good fucking stuff

  • @neofucku Thank you!

  • Very nice phrasing; you have a great feel =)

  • @montes707 Thank you for these great words. I'm glad you like my phrasing and feel!

  • it should be people like her shown on TV so that children would follow in her footsteps and the coming generation would be blues people :) very beautiful girl, you should make albums :)

  • @pepehorhae Thank you. I appreciate the fact that you think I could be a role model. WOw!

  • Awesome!

  • @lilmax96 Thanks!

  • cool

  • @RayCharles000 Thank you.

  • Nice vibratto, girl!

  • @sanchesisrael Thank you!

  • Alicia you are very, very talented. Keep at it and don't allow non-music issues to distract you - the bane of many child prodigies who didn't live up to their promise. That and finding your own voice. Best.

  • @VijayJodha Thank you very much for this great comment. I appreciate your encouraging words. They inspire to keep going!

  • Just wonderin, do you have a favorite (or favorites) Paul Butterfield song? How about a favorite Mike Bloomfield song? The reason I asked is bcz I got inspired by a Paul Butterfield song to write an original myself, it came out great.

    ALSO

    You have a great style, very simple blues licks/leads and style, not over-the-top or over played notes. Tone for days with your amp and nice Les Paul. Great voice too, but I like your guitar playin so much better.

  • @ChicagoBoomBoom Hello there. No, I don't listen to those guys. Personally, I never really acquired a taste for their stuff. Also, thank you for the compliments. I'm very happy you like my playing, and you like my tone.

  • All of Alicia's fans know that she is already a star . Just not signed yet . The problem is she is not getting enough hits on the tube . So ! Why don't we all run a queue of her songs . Say top 10 or 40 kind of deal . AND , let our PC's & Macs run all night , or all day , once a month or week ? Come on , lets get this girl signed so we can buy her CD's . Jerry

  • jesus thats good

  • @xo1tom1ox Thank you!!!

  • Thank Goodness you sang on this video. I was disappointed that you didn't sing the Jump Jive and Wail. Outstanding talent. I'm guessing Papa really was a rolling stone.

  • @Rewster86 Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate the fact that you watched and commented so nicely.

  • Did you make that track on the 880 yourself or did it come with that one on there? I just got one and Im learning how to mess with it, great practice tool right?

  • @thedonace213 Hi. I programmed the bass line myself. As for the shuffle rhythm, it came with the machine. Yes, I would say it is a great practice and it is even great for a performance. 

  • you've got a great taset in music and you are clearly very talented, your riffs give me shivers. Can't wait to see more! Also, how many guitars do you have?!?!?!?!?! lol sooo jealous, all my guitars are really poor!

  • @misspops1987 Thank you for the overly flattering comment. I really appreciate your kindness. My riffs give you shivers? My. Gosh. That is crazy! I have sixteen guitars. Thank you, again, for you kind words!

  • Outstanding! Keep the vids coming please.

  • @StefanLundkvist Thank you very much!

  • wow, so nice! :D

  • @95jp95 Thank you!

  • She makes me want to take guitar lessons.

  • @wordhog123 Thank you for the compliment!

  • really good job ...keep on like this , sur your your talent will grow up again and again...take care

  • @Mikyblues Thank you so much for the nice words!

  • I give you a P...

    P for Pentatonic.

  • That was great! keep away from american idol.

  • @wellingtonian Thank you for the comment!

  • you are great! :)

  • @MsGuitarChicky Thanks very much!

  • wowww ! everybody..tell everybody.. B.B. king & bluesbaby8 's in town!!

  • @carcano80 Ahh, wow, thanks! I actually listened to the version with BB and Bobby Bland, and they say that" BB and Bobby's in town" phrase. So, your comment totally flattered me!

  • Alicia thats really an awesome tribute to B.B. King. Your performance on the guitar is flawless. You guitar looks like a Gretsch Electromatic Pro Jet. Would you be able to tell me what model? I mean a G5235? G5236? or a G5238? By the way I do own a Gretsch Electromatic myself. I own a G5120 black model and within these last few months I had the Gretsch stock pick ups replaced with TV Jones classic pick ups. Now my guitar has that Gretsch twnagy sound.

  • @CluvVenny Hello, Chris. Forgive me for responding so slowly. Thank you for the nice comment. The guitar I am playing in this video is a Gibson Les Paul GT, actually.

  • @bluesbaby8 Thanks for clearing that up for me. I own an Epiphone Les Paul model which was more affordable and has a great tone & sound to it. You can see my "I'll Cry Instead-Beatles video"

  • Brilliant.....................­..

  • @theunknown0310 Thanks!

  • Great voice on top of all of that awesome playing! What CAN'T you do!?! I love your stuff!

  • @bluechimplover50 Oh,wow, thank you so much! I appreciate the comment

  • What a great thing to see a girl your age loving and doing justice to the blues. Very soulful, great tone, just awesome.

  • @SconeMason I'm very nohored by your kind comment. Thank you so much!

  • @bluesbaby8 Sorry, I meant to write honored.

  • @bluesbaby8 I think it's important to be honored and nohored.

  • @SconeMason Haha, me too!

  • COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @thomasgngn Thanks a lot

  • Great guitar, just gotta work on the vocals now :)

    Keep it up.

  • What kind of soundmachine are you using to provid the backing track?

  • @bartyblues I'm using a Boss Dr. 880.

  • YES!!

  • @danbrooklin Thanks!

  • Girl, you are realy good!

    Keep working, I might find myself buying a ticket to your concert ^^

  • @mags031f Gosh, wow. Thanks for the truly inspiring and flattering comment!

  • @bluesbaby8

    No, seriosly. You play with such a passion, and that's all that matters when it comes to blues. Technique is always improvable

    Cheers ^^

  • @mags031f Thanks so much

  • Hi Alicia , The LP that you are using in tribute to B.B. King ; is it a Epi ?

  • @hutchfromba Hello,

    Thanks for the really wonderful comments you have been giving me They really give me a boost of confidence and make me smile. Can't tell you enough how much I appreciate them. Thanks for the question. I am using a Gibson Les Paul GT in this video.

  • Comment removed

  • Very nice!

  • WoW ! You just blow me away . You are GREAT ! What kind of Amp Equipment are you using with that LP ? More importantly ; When are you cutting an album (aka CD) and where can I buy it ? Simply Amazing ........

  • @hutchfromba Hello! Wow. Thanks for the wonderful comment! I really appreciate everything you had to say tons and tons. Thanks for the question, too. I am using a Fender Deluxe Vintage Modified version. Sorry, I don't have a record out, and I don't know when I'll be cutting one. I'm flattered that you would ask me though. Thank you.

  • not in a creepy kind of way thou.  keep up the good work and let the good times roll.

  • omg!! i saw your papa was rolling stone video and i subscribed but seeing this i just fell in love with you. :D

  • really nice job

  • Great playing! Usually in that age people arent aware of the small details wich makes the difference in certain styles of blues.

    You ever heard Junior watson?

    Can recommend these ones for you:

    watch?v=zsld6_u0hWQ

    And a slow one.

    watch?v=btXjDXkdWvA&feature=re­lated

  • Just out of curiosity, is that you singing too or a backing track?

  • @uofm97 Hi, yes, that is definitely me singing.

  • @bluesbaby8 In that case, you're pretty good at THAT too. You must have a really strong mic on your webcam thta picks upyor voice really well because I don't see a normal one there.

  • @uofm97 Oh, thanks so much. Yeah, I'm just using a standard cam. Not using any mics or anything. I only use mics at live gigs.

  • @bluesbaby8 So, a great singer AND guitarist.....that's great! You must have an excellent mic on your cam because I don't see a typical mic there in the picture.

  • @uofm97 Thanks!

  • @bluesbaby8 DO YOU HAVE A FACEBOOK PAGE 

  • You have an awesome touch and really tasty sound.

  • I am impressed every time I watch your videos. Go on girl, play those blues

    Couple of years Alicia and Letterman will be chasing you!

    you are great ...

    kind regards from blueswhm in Germany ...

  • sweet

  • bb king would be proud of your covering ! 5 stars ! great sound !

  • You're doing an outstanding job !! It took these bluesguys years at bars, abusing booze to get the tone that you have right now !! Keep playing that blues !!!!! Greetz from another bluesslinger....

  • Really wonderful!

  • Beautiful baby.  This girl has the blues and the BB sound down!!

  • 5 for singing too

  • 5 for the king and you! I play the guitar for over 10 years I´m seaching the sound you play, haven´t found it yet! 5!

  • You sing too!?! This girl never ceases to amaze me.

  • Just realized that I commented twice on this particular video...

    Show's how good you are!

  • Great playing Alicia!

    Sweet clean tone and lots of soul

    5 big ones as usual.

    The only improvement I can think of, would be a dedicated microphone for your voice, it's a shame that we can't hear you more clearly in the mix. Please continue, it's always a pleasure listening to you!

  • Alicia:

    Your playing and singing gets stronger with each video! Keep up the excellent work! And that LP sounds great. Look up a guitar player named Sonny Moorman on Youtube. I play with him on a Weds night jam in Cincy.

    Uncle Bob in Ohio

  • Queen of the blues guitar!!!

  • Goodness,Daive! You are far too kind, as usual! Thank you, though!

  • My dear, this was fantastic to sit back and listen to these sweet vibes. you are a very accomplished as a blues artist already. keep up the great work.

    endless starz

  • Playing to a midi-file has a real benefit of improving timing. So important in music to learn this when youre young. I'd like to be able to listen back to stuff I did when I was 15 hear something this good. Great tone, phrasing, playing.

  • Love a girl that love's the Blues.

  • Great playing and feel for the blues

  • I think Lucille would be proud of this tribute...

  • Nice!

  • Hey Alicia it's me Du from myspace thanks for the invite...you play beautifully as always...love the Les Paul, it's a gold top, right? Have a good night :))

  • Hey Du. What's goin on? Thanks for the kind comment once again! I really appreciate it so very much!

    The Les paul I'm playing is called a Les Paul GT. It is red with flames on it. Thanks for askin! You have a good night too!

  • Cool, that's the first I've heard of the Les Paul GT...so I guess yours is a collectors item as they're now producing them without flames and in small quantities of 400, neat guitar...I'm a Les Paul nut :))

  • Yeah, I guess you could say that. I don't know why they decided to stop producing them with flames. This is wonderful LP.
