  • WOW amazing licks! I love it and im subscribed. Check out my channel if you interested in acoustic originals! Thanks and keep shredding!

  • Beautiful girl and a great musician :)

  • nice satch strap

  • Great playing, and still young enough to improve. Awesome!

  • I really love the way you build on the main riff at 0:50, follows the melody really well!  I'm going to use that myself haha

  • Hey, this is great! Ok, I can understand when you say that it makes you sick to listen to it, there are some rhythmic issues and playing Axel F in the interlude is ...ugly?

    Some time ago I wanted to play this song too. I was never able to get the fast parts correct but you at least seem to be able to play them perfect.

    About image: I think image makes that people watch this video at all. Your great playing makes that they don't stop the video after seconds and rather write a comment.

  • ... Thanks for the inspiration ms! Lovely, lovely lovely :D

  • Wow!

    

  • One of your videos leads to another and yet another. Amazing stuff. I sense a classical training background. Am I wrong? Keep up the great work. Instant fame is coming your way...

  • Knuclepuss can feck off. What's wrong with the way she looks. Dick. Fantastic playing by the way.

  • @milkyBK370 He is a Dick. Knuclepuss is just jealous because all he can play is the skin flute.

  • you are going to be one of the truly greats.I`ve seen some of the great guitarists in my time and I play guitar myself but you are something else.Blimey!! if you think your playing is crap we might as well give up with our guitars!! You are natrually gifted .Fantastic!!

  • Crazy frog? Haha, that was great :)

  • your an incredible player!

  • Jess are you nuts or are you just takin the piss (sounding crap). Don't rub it in and tell us you can do better than this! Man if you think this is crap then I would say most of the budding guitarists listening to this would have discovered a new meaning for the word CRAP or packed their bags in total depression! Lol

  • Jess, this is one I hadn't seen before. Typical amazing Jezzy. Keep on keeping on! Your image, btw, needs nothing at all. And, even if it did, the music is the thing; you're a guitarist, not an entertainer. For a reality check I still go back and revisit your "Giant Steps" every now and then.

    Keep 'em coming,

    Bob

  • this is amazing jess :)

  • I´m a total fan of yours, Jezzie. Really, I´ll bet we will all see you year after year getting better and better. You are already a master, so one can only wonder where you may get with time.

  • not to get all white knight here but who cares about image and presentation in this case? Btw I like it, very low key.

  • What's best about this video is that you didn't do your best, and it's still fucking incredible.

  • Nice chops.

  • I don't know if i should me motivated or demotivated by this..

  • @PascalSchut Motivated, Just keep playing! There will always be someone better, just play to make yourself happy and everything will fall into place.

  • Skills but the guitar sounds AWFUL.

  • Wow your timing is perfect, and technique and feeling is great!

  • Fuckin' hellll!

    *quits guitar*

    But seriously, that tone is mad awesome!

    What amp/pedals/whatever are you running that beast of a strat through?

    What kinda pickups is that bad boy loaded with?

  • holy fuck.

  • hey! I have the same guitar strap, It's so awesome, isn't it?

  • i actually love your phrasing, so govan yet so original... really great job, by anyones standards

  • @jezzylewis @knuclepuss the "look" doesn't actually exist. Jess just keep doing what you are doing and being yourself. If you want to rock out dressed as Mr Blobby on roller skates whilst juggling cans of baked beans it wil fit....seriously you are that good. Just stay genunie. Keep playing and record LOADS more videos for your subscribers lol. Cheers. :-)

  • Don't worry so much. You sound absolutely FANTASTIC!

  • i can only dream of playing this well

  • Terrific performance......Jess...I have been playing about 25yrs....and I could only dream of playing as smooth and tasty as you...Keep on Rocking!!!

  • Please, please, please... ignore the money-whores out there and don't change your image and presentation ONE iota. You've got something that comes along once in a blue moon... never forget that. The world is always ready for another sexed-up doll image, they eat those like candy until their teeth fall out... but to stand alone, to be original, to be unwilling to bend to the slick and shallow siren-call of greed-centric Los Angeles... well, that's truly sublime.

  • Do you mind sharing some of your talent with us others perhaps? :) Anyway, love that song and your doing it great! Keep it up!

    Greetings from Sweden!

  • I really like the tone!

  • Damn, and on a Strat!! Command that thing little Siss!! Great Job!!!!

  • awesome!

    my best wishes for you...

  • Fucking hell! Incredible. How long have you been playing? Great feel!

  • I love you :)

  • Your vibrato, touch, timing, attack and feel are absolutely astounding...You are more seasoned in your playing than many lifelong players will ever be...correction...MOST will ever be. Congrats! Truly inspiring..... and I've been doing this guitar sickness thing for 30 years.

  • I have been playing guitar for 23 years and I can't play like that! All the best Jess, I think you will be just fine!

  • I don't watch this with my guitar for fear that it will leave me for her. D=

  • fantastic!

  • The sound off your strat is just amazing! So clear! What sorcery do you concoct to achieve this?

  • If you are 16 and can pull off Guthrie's tunes, clearly you are not of this earth.

    Nice playing, kiddo.

    Wow.

  • don't be so hard on yourself... you are a true living godess of guitar, you come just straigth from the heaven.

  • Great Player...

    

  • I've been playing many years, thought I was ok at playing, I might give up now though!!

  • Beautiful music & guitarist!!

  • that was awesome. especially because you were playing it with a clean tone as well! keep rocking!

  • All the way through, it was a 9 out of 10, then I hear the Beverly Hills Cop theme, instant 10!

  • AWESOME!! I have never seen a female play this good at this age, I don't think even Jennifer Batten could play Guthrie, He is my new favorite, very fluid guitar player, I envy you girl, I can play this, but haven't the time to learn the whole song..kudos!!

  • God would I love to do something about your image and presentation if that's important? PCM.

  • @knucklepuss haha be my guest.. the way I look it's as if I just crawled out of the ground after a few 100 years of something.. lol

  • @JezzyLewis I'd say focus on your playing which is more important. Don't go "lady gaga", you don't need it when your talent speaks for itself ;-)

  • @JezzyLewis You look wonderful. Just like a human being. Image? Organic human that has mastery of instrument and makes great music. Does everybody have to be flashy? Nothing wrong with flashy. I like certain types of rock star affectations but why homogenize everything. Its refreshing to see an attractive female performer with no make up and over the top gestures playing. Not every thing needs sauce. Variety is the spice. Contrived style is NG IMO. If thats crap WOW!

  • @JezzyLewis yeah, but you look pretty happy when you play, and you play awesomely, so, um, rock on!

  • @JezzyLewis Jess awsome!! as guitarist my self, this is stunning!!! nice work girl, love the style and feel :)

  • @JezzyLewis Nonsense... only change what YOU want to change. Your talent is beyond petty pop culture pressures.

  • @JezzyLewis Jess, What? In response to @knucklepuss. You look great! You play flawlessly. Been doing it all my life and am a simple guitarist, but You HAVE the touch! Feel! At your age that's so incredible! You will go all the way just as you are!

  • @JezzyLewis We love the way you look and play Jess, Never change please.

  • @knucklepuss Your a douche!

  • @knucklepuss The idea that 'image' matters in music is ridiculous. She's a fantastic musician and this was a great performance; that's all that matters and all that should matter. Image is something you hide behind when you have no talent to back it up. You want image? Head over to xfactor.

    And Jess if you read this; seriously, don't change a thing. Just be yourself and enjoy yourself; that's all anyone who truly appreciates music will ever ask of you.

  • @ZedLeppelin1989 Exactly! If that douch bag wants "image" he can watch a Lady Ga Ga video or something.

  • @ZedLeppelin1989 I completely disagree. One has to look the part. That is almost as important as having the talent. You can't just have ability. You need the songs, the look, and the ability (which only really needs to extend as far as how difficult it is to play the songs - it's not a competition). some of the best guitarists of all time have only been heard of by other guitarists. The ones that move on up are the ones with the look and the songs. they are more important than mere ability

  • @rmccaw7 Well that's fair enough as that's your opinion, but I think it's a ridiculous notion. The idea that your looks determines your success as a musician is only prevalent because of people like you; what exactly is "looking the part" anyway? I also love that fact that you say it's not a competition, yet still hold on to this ridiculous notion that you need to look 'better' than everyone else just to get noticed; you sir are a hypocrite.

  • @ZedLeppelin1989 Well, see, I'm not. I never said you had to look better than anything. You have to look like you belong on stage though. Just Look at people like Bowie, the Beatles, Stereophonics...

  • @ZedLeppelin1989 ...they are hugely successful not because they are wondrous masters of their guitars, voices, or anything but because they offer a package. People like me? Get fucked, mate.

  • @rmccaw7 Yes, people like you. Well done on making it sound like you meant whether they look good on stage or not now though as opposed to how they look physically. Also, who really cares if you look 'good' on stage or not? The Beatles looked like they would never belong on stage when they had their first gigs, but they got big because they had good music instead; it's an oral medium, good music is all that matters. You want a show? Go to the fucking circus.

  • @ZedLeppelin1989 that's all i ever meant. you're right about the beatles. but never forget the clean-up in their 'look' that preceded their success. what you're not getting is that music on a record is an oral medium, but performance is not. a band needs to utilise every tool at it's disposal to sell theor 'product'. why do you think Jon Bon Jovi threatened to sack Tico unless he lost some weight? the point is, the music industry IS a circus. and you're living on another planet.

  • @ZedLeppelin1989 sure, i dig the ideals. i really do. then some ugly fucker like me can make it too. but not everybody can make it. the people decide what they want. they decided they wanted their acts to look professional and sell an image. MTV took care of that. Just look at what happened to Whitesnake in the early 80s. complete turnaround in image. Because dave coverdale is such a smart professional. this is how it is. take it or leave it. and who exactly are people like me, anyway? realists?

  • @ZedLeppelin1989 is it cos i'm black?

  • @ZedLeppelin1989 haha sorry, that was in poor taste

  • @ZedLeppelin1989 Not one audience wants to look at a mess on stage. you play a guitar that suits your body shape, matches your clothes. you shave. look sharp and it all enhances the performance. 

  • @ZedLeppelin1989 don't forget, music as we know it today exists because it is a product that is sold. i'm talking about professional business, now. you have slightly missed the point.

  • @ZedLeppelin1989 btw, for some reason i can't write comments longer than this. so sorry about that!

  • @knucklepuss We like her image asshole. Go do something about your own presentation,because from here it sucks.

  • I loved your face at 2:47

  • Jess, the world is yours...

  • i agree with you Jess. the sound is MUCH better on the Guitar Idol site. Look forward to seeing you in the next one! For what it's worth i had you in my top 12.

  • Oh my, you missed a couple of notes? Oh well I guess striving for perfection comes with talent. But many of us would kill to play the other 1999 notes in the piece like you do.

  • oh look.. girl on a guitar!

    and she rips it like a dude with a BBC

    GROOVE ON BABY!

    cheers from Serbia!

  • you really got it!

  • Brava!!! You have an amazing feel and passion for music!!

  • Increíble guitarrista. Virtuosa, y con muy buen gusto!!! Congratulations!!!

  • HEy Jezzy you are bless you play like I dont know jaja AWESOME PERFECT and dont feel bad you played really good and btw good tone with that Strat and Roland cube right?? Hey keep going cause you are going far but dont forget that talent was given by Jesus the Lord and thruth and you need to give him thank's and the Glory !! Hey and please give me lesson jajaja!! GOd BLess YOu Jezz JEsus Love You!

  • ur good

  • what the fuck

  • Man this girl is killer....... Right now i wish i could play like u, Great Job!

  • Ahhh don't sweat the small stuff Jess. Most of us mere average guitarists could listen to you play all day. A few clams now and then let us know you really are still human. Looking forward to you playing live with a tight rhythm section and bouncing off the changes.

  • Eat that shit Yngwie - you hairy little ape.

  • dont apologize for a note you missed that my ears never noticed. most times the audience never knows you missed a note. folks like me are to busys thinking.....WOW!!!!!!!!!

  • gran guitarrista

  • you go girl!

  • Jess, people have mention the spot at either 2:49 or 2:50. Someone then says it's "Crazy Frog" (which eludes me for sure) but I believe what you were hinting at was the main riff from the theme from "Beverly Hills Cop" from back in the 1980's originally. I think it was kind of brilliant and I can tell by your smile as you are playing it hoping that it will have some people wondering what the heck is she playing there. Let me know if I'm right OK! Great work again on this song. :)

  • wow.. it sounded like guthrie govan. nice!

  • nice groove,

    You're a genius!

  • awesome

  • i lol'd at the crazy frog reference @ 2:49

    and excellent playing!

  • @atylerplai

    Crazy Frog? That's the theme to Beverly Hills Cop. Crazy Frog!? Get the f*** outta here!

  • Being humble is a really good thing, but please stop thinking your playing is bad, it's frustrating for us ! :)

  • Niiiice, Jess!!

  • Jess the best!

    Amazing tone and guitar control. I wait for new performance!

    HI.

  • You are so humble. I can't wait to hear your playing when you are 100% satisfied with it. I'm sure it will be ground-breaking stuff.

  • 1) are you F-ing kidding. This is crap ? You sound bad ? You feel sick ? Biggest bullshit I ever heard, BUT it is true you that you could do better, but anyways I heard some interesting things that wasn't on your first performance, it's different but still awesomely great.

    2) 2:49 ;)))

    3) Do you play standing up often ? Seems like you're feeling uncomfortable.

    4) @Hellraiserzzz, exactly what I was thinking.

    5) Yeah stop saying that you suck, makes us suck even more. WE SUPPORT YOU, YOU ROCK !!!

  • if this is crap, then i'm no guitarist... i should probably go play the triangle.

  • Jess, you are flippin fan-funky-tastic.

  • fantastic!!

    

  • great performance jess !!! cal !!!

  • Truly Outstanding Jess X

  • @2:52, you just have to laugh everytime you do that, don't you? ahah!

    Anyway, PLEASE, stop saying that your playing is bad. I think there's not a video where you don't say this and yet everyone thinks your playing is perfect. You're the definition of talent! Don't get cocky, but also don't throw yourself down. Learn to acknowledge that you're good, and you'll be even better. 'Cause even Guthrie Govan could be better. Everyone can be better ;)

    Keep being awesome and getting better at it!

  • This is indeed great playing and tone..

  • so much raw talent..

  • I love how you make it your own, with your own unique sound. Didn't I say I loved it already? Well, I loved it.

    I'm not sure if that made sense, but, I'm tired

  • Great production, it's getting better and matching your talents, young lady! Your musicianship and looks (also the strat) made me think you could be Eric Johnson's daughter :D

  • Nice! I like the Satriani guitar strap. And I love the strat tone!

  • I'm sure everybody here will agree with me when I say that, when I leave a comment on Jess's videos I am not being nice and generous in that patronising "ooh look a girl on guitar, didn't she do well!". No, I really do admire and enjoy your playing on merit, and because as a fellow guitarist myself I can see plenty to admire. More videos please Jess!

  • epic! did u edit that 'note' out or autotune it?

  • Great play, great tone. Impressed! :O

  • I wish I could play that "crappy".

  • Pretty serious filming...great!

  • lol, i wouldn't be surprised if jesus fell off his cross in the background..

  • great playing! but that guitar looks huge on you lol

  • 2:49 - "Will they notice it's Crazy Frog?"

  • @Alexiaden93 It's plenty older than Crazy Frog.

  • Very interesting play , the strat gave all she has , brilliant !

  • we want more

  • 0_0 You get better everytime. Jesus.

  • your jeans make you old

  • Great, Jess! Always a great delight to watch your vids! Hope you keep them comming :)

    Apart from that you're an incredible player! Uhh, congrats!

    all the best

    Uli

  • Funny interlude ^.^ ... the sound was not so good imho than on the other recording... it's possibly because of the church room... aside of this all stunning, of course ^.^ ...

  • Sounded great to me ,You go girl

  • You are amazing! :)

    Rev

  • You ARE the perfect woman!!!! ♥

  • Have you tried a Les Paul?

  • @2:50 lol :)

  • Amazing Jess!

  • Brilliant. Watch out Guthrie and Alex, Jess is on your tail.

  • I love you

  • It sounds great anyway Jess, don't worry ;-) It's always a pleasure to hear you play

  • I love this, good playing, keep them coming Jess!

    Frank

  • awesome awesome awesome awesome!

  • are you i little bit "early" in the first part?. It sounds a tiny bit hurrried here and there. Apart from that, it's just awesome..

  • For a music festival it looks like it's at a church lol!

    Great playing btw

  • @iig0tem Cos it is dude lol

  • @iig0tem It IS at a chruch. Just google Beaulieu.

  • Like that red Strat. You do it justice. Good job! Jack

  • You're so good! How long have you been playing for?  ~Mi@

  • You're so good. How long have you been playing for? ~Mi@

  • superb performance

  • Another tasty performance...Nice!!  BTW, What bad note!?!? LOL

  • Jess one of your 'bad' notes is like a dream note to everyone else. your an inspiration to any musician, listener and guitarist :)

  • No no no, we dont mind at all! lol jess, your modesty is sooo cute :) Most artist are their own worst critics, but that was very very good! You're also pretty cute looking! Pretty + Talent = WIN! :)

    Thanks for sharing your beautiful talent and good looks with the world. ;)

  • Great as always jess! May i ask what guitar pick is that you are using?

  • 2:50 was brilliant, well done Jess :]

  • I wish I was this "bad"...

  • @davidf42 My thoughts exactly.

  • Jaw dropping performance! I like like the suprize "Beverly Hills Cop" theme @ 2:50 lol.

  • I think it's great performance!

    But please tell me what is it on 2:50, something really really familiar, but I can't remember what! :-)

  • beautiful!

  • I do feel I have to criticise this because there is one thing very wrong with it, and that is it makes my playing look shi*!!!! Nice to see your face too! Pretty girl and REAL Feel & Soul! You are simply stunning, if Clapton could play like that when he was just 16 then he really would have been God. And you're humility in editing out the applause (for instance) does you credit, but spoils the video too!

  • A slight hiccup. Keep calm and carry on...

  • this is greatV :)

  • I think we might be witnessing the start of a promising carreer here.

    Thanks for letting us!

    Rock on Girl, you kick ass ;)

  • You are a perfectionist. What a wonderful performance!

  • WOW O_o can't see what you thought was wrong with that.

  • amazing :)

  • It sounds awesome!
