My Favorite Things - Chord/Melody - Jess

[BigAndouille]

"...not perfect or that great... " *sigh* You do realize most guitarists on this planet will NEVER be able to play a piece like that with the kind of taste and feel you exhibit here, right? Just amazing...

Also massive display of integrity not riding the wave of titling your videos "16 year old girl blah blah blah"

With that combination of talent and integrity, you will go far.

[rintintin7529]

Wonderful stuff Jess. I look forward to you doing your own compositions and giving Guthrie and everyone else something to aspire too. Keep up the great work.

[0hardy]

so nice...

[Supermarbru]

Lovely

[chocobello]

All i can say is MORE POWER TO YOU JESSIE and don't stop playing .........



[zu0832]

Nice feel man

[stebbZv]

@zu0832 its a girl. 16 years old... i know, it's like God himself is playing through her body.!

[ClintonjBlake]

Just beautiful-- sooooo, there is more talent here than you get from your school you attend!! atta girl!!!!

[elbowout]

Emily would be proud!!

[syncopater999]

Such finesse in one so young - this was great and with fingerstyle chops that impress even more. You have wide ranging talent that is a pleasure to watch and listen to. Martin Taylor himself would be very impressed with you on this tune.

[TonyTakano]

Tell me how you learned to play!

[DavidH071]

beautiful . . u have inspired me to pick up an electric guitar for the first time ! your amazing

[Carthsgtr]

Did you use a tab or sheet music for this? By the incredibly sexy tone and feel you are getting, I am guessing it's just one of those things that takes maybe half a listen through to work out. Still, it would be much appreciated if you could direct me to it.

[croeagle]

Wow!!

[Copilot24]

damn

[HappyTurtleKman]

It's an amazing song , with incredible versatility ,great arrangement ! (tune works great in 5/4 if you bored one day , also great fun to look at from a different perspective (darker ,dissonant ie.Coltrane ) refreshing to see a great musician not just a great guitarist :-) happy strumming

[Xelanderthomas]

That's great. You are gonna be major.

[61amps]

Jess how old are you? You look young but you have amazing talent and feel that even experienced guitarists would love to have. Keep it up, your the best I have seen. I will keep track of your progress. amazing

[scalesr4]

Bravo, God gave you a rare gift! Keep playing and best of luck!

[Metin2xOx]

The Greatest female guitarist on youtube!

Go Girl!

[ChrisGedenGuitar]

Jamie Findlay is the man! Haven't heard his stuff for years. Eric Roche was also a fan of his :)

[katka85g]

Jess, you are amazing, Get your CD out soon!!!

[MrPierrethecat]

Very nice playing. Do you know Jamie Findlay in person? I'm asking because he was my private teacher at Musician Institute.

[MrAmadaeus]

Nice work!

[diaz6667]

love it..

[aeson5000]

Love your playing! Please forgive me for originally assuming you were a guy. Was listening, not looking. Jennifer Batten has always been one of my favorite musicians. By the time I finish listening to the rest of your vids, I think you will be also : )

[TheRockerxx69]

Wonderful !!!! I love female guitarists....and she is very promising

[leafyP]

Mark my words. You will make a good living playing guitar.

[brwnie00]

AWESOME!



[Guitarlord26]

Steve Vai sent me.. you're great! keep it up!

[stevevanderhorst]

Very nice Jess. You have an amazing grasp and touch for one so young. I guess you don't need any encouragement from the likes of me. I look forward to hearing more from you...and cudos to your parents for their support I suspect. At 16(38 years ago) I hit my father up for a Fender Strat...didn't go over so well.

[seilaein]

Heya. Pretty nice!! How old are you?

[SRsyndrome]

You're pretty damn good, I'm impressed.

[condobleN]

You're amazing! Where can i get the sheet music for this arrangement?

[rockstarzusa]

You my dear, have taste beyond your years. So rare to find such phrasing & dynamics at your age. It was a pleasure to listen to you..... Your take on Steve Vai's tune was exceptional, and more importantly massively different from this one.... yet you just sound fabulous on both. Congrats!!

[lordcliffton]

@rockstarzusa Could not have said it better. I am awed.

Jess, keep it up!!!!

[xMontblanc]

reminds me a lot of Between the Buried and Me's Laser Speed. Looks like we know who influenced that song now d: Great playing by the way, phenomenal.

[useryug]

amazing as usual, the coolest ending, and a great red strat!

[Kamikazekris100]

Good job always nice seeing a girl play guitar..Im learning been playing for about a year now..keep it up.

[sirpeter1946]

nice,very relaxing

[EquinoxParadox91]

Oh wow.

[rockzilla21]

simply beautiful and inspiring, congratulations! .. :)

[MyxHarnett]

Really great playing, Sound of Music is my mom's favorite movie ;-)

[svartsaft]

do u have tabs for this?

[svartsaft]

@svartsaft ?

[husseinhaddad]

perfect jess <3

[KingTabor]

Wow Jess! I'm a 41-old rocker and seeing your talent had inspired me to take my guitar and just PLAY! God bless your talent and I wish you can achieve all you want in music & life! Vinnas - Brazil

[skleung]

your playing is a blessing. Wish you had a higher quality camera tho...would make the video perfect.

[miguelwmonteiro]

[voodooriders]

Very cool Jess :)

[Mpoiuz]

Beautiful arrangement and performance! Greatly done, congrats!

Uli

[sarinapaparone]

Lovely stuff. Well done.

[svartsaft]

<3

[MetalicBluz]

beautiful!

[robibm2003]

Was this inspired by the John Coltrane version?

In any event, I really liked what you did with it. You're a wonderful player.

[Akira161]

damn girl, you left me speechless again.

Great playing!!!! you are an amazing guitar player!!!!

[caiaum2]

i love your vibrato !

[neochase1]

Not bad! You did well !

[AusBluesMan]

Jess has a very individual style, which is a hard thing to find in today's ocean of guitar players.

I hope you go far, Jess. You've already got the skill, technique and expressive power.

[HernandeztheHero]

nice playing

[ZaphodBeeblebrox65]

Absolutely wonderful Jess, always a pleasure to hear you play.

Is this in your normal 4ths tuning?

[wendellmusic]

gorgeous!

[stivan47]

Greeeeeat :D Loved it!

[asaskald]

Very pretty. Great job!

[bobburford]

Well, that pretty much leaves me speechless. Amazing. Stunning. Awesome. Beautifully done, Jess. Keep up the great work.

Bob

[TheJellyfishJam]

you are great!! :)

[anointed01]

Beautiful Jess. Thanks for sharing.

[freesalute]

that first vamp is so nicely voiced

big love!

[louzarv1]

I love you Jess :D Your playing is so superb..so is your tone. Expecting a great album from you some day ;) Keep it up!

[bluepencil99]

That was great Jess...there was even a little Tuck Andress action in there!

Well done!!

[Niallphillips]

you are amazing

[zapzap36]

my god, you make it look so easy.

Love the way you play bass line in there, it sounds like 2 people some times

you are amazing

[tq105]

Hey Jess! Amazing playing. Is this your arrangement?

[JezzyLewis]

@tq105 Thanks Tom! :-) the arrangement is by Jamie Findlay.

[willeng84]

@JezzyLewis Hey Jess, Great playing as always for one thing, but I was wandering what year stratocaster is that one your always playing. I have one that is exactly like it and its the best Strat I have ever played. Its an 89' and I was told it was a deluxe but not sure if they were out in that year, none the less it's as amazing guitar. It spoke to me the moment I saw it and for 2 months straight I bugged RIck to give me a good price. Needs a good leveling after all the playing.

[FrankRMusic]

That´s cool, nice chordmelody playing, creative ideas, the F in the end and finally the E major(!) altered. Good!!

Cheers, Frank

[dewmikester1]

Super job on a very melodic song, Minor & Major chords and transitions...Keep up your good work, Jess!!

[croeagle]

Wow! Love it!

[RoathRipper]

Another fine and seemingly effortless utube performance from you! Curious to know, judging by your remarks in the description above, exactly how high a standard have your set for yourself if this is an example of 'not...that great'? Are u so driven and perfectionistic that nothing will sound satisfactory to your ears? Frankly, if I had your skills I would strike guitar from my todo list and get onto another challenge eg. mastering Italian, becoming a cooking expert or improving my golf :)

[RoathRipper]

@abcunix how about the ability to lick ones balls like Tigger my pet cat?

[abcunix]

@RoathRipper It would not come close to Jess's tone, improvisation and general ingenuity/awesomeness. 

[tokugijoo]

Epic arrangement, man. Sounded great. I always dig your videos.

[TheGrupoepidemia]

;-)

[TomHappyapril]

Beautiful Jess :)

[RobRichmondRPG]

What a pleasant surprise that made me smile today, thanks Jess you always keep me wishing for more and of course more often ;)

[rogers3012]

pfff  what can I say ... great :)

[azzy123]

Very nice arrangement :)

[express49]

Don't worry ! imperfections are often the most beautiful part of a creation . Anyway , you did a great job ! Thanks for sharing with us !

[FredtheShred]

Lovely playing, Jess. :)

[kaloo051]

Realy well played and nice. Bravo Jess !
