  • Beautiful

  • she's very good guitar player...however Layla is a love song about a guy wanting a girl...seems kinda strange with an underage girl singing it

  • Wow that was amazing......Keep the music flowing from the soul and keep smiling...............Funny thing about all those haters out there all I see them posting is hateful comments about a very young lady that has what 20 - 30 videos posted playing with some guitar greats!!!!!!

  • haters go away. jealousy will haunt you forever.

  • i wasn't sure at the beginning but by the end I was smiling

  • what a talent wow

  • @DesireeBassett You tell 'em. :p

  • She wasn't hired for the Michael Jackson tour. That was Orianthi ... youtube.com/watch?v=vCz1JDZazl­U

  • @barbarino2000 She is the current lead guitarist for the MJ tribute tour and she also has a contract with the Rolling Stones.

  • @barbarino2000 Your wrong. Shes is playing tonight in Kansas City as lead guitarist for the Michael Jackson IMMORTAL World Tour by Cirque du Soleil.

  • Would like to give you a big hug. :)  Bless your heart!

  • Gratulálok, profi vagy :) **********

  • wht a f**k is that ,,, fuck off

  • this video was from over 3 years ago. she has improved since then. i have tickets to see her live 3-14- 2012 in charlotte. its 1 week from the end of this tour. dbassett.com for info.

  • nice play but better don't singin

  • @medial1985 It's the audio quality, nor her. It was recorded through an iphone or hand held video camera with an grossly inferior pick up microphone.

  • hermosa!!

  • This is one of my favorite songs I would really love to see you and Orianthi play together that would be awesome

  • She is a talented guitarist, but I am not big on her vocals. Just saying.

  • @jutzisr that's true but being a very good guitarist is sufficient

  • @MainelyLA thats exactly right. Ever notice how the haters never respond with a video of their own playing. I don't know how anyone can hate this, her or what she is doing..To the haters while your posting videos of your playing in your bedroom others are posting videos of her playing in arenas...all of you haters are a bunch of idiots!

  • 59 dislikes..lol. Why don't each and every one of you guitar studs post a video of yourselves playing?.......that's what I thought.

  • she sho can play,,,,maybe a bit too much....but definitely an A+ for nailing the coda on guitar....

    gonna be fun watching her grow up....

  • it wouldve sounded a lot better on a cleaner channel IMO

  • @misterimson Agree, a different cleaner channel would have sounded better!!!, also something is out of tune.

  • @aleisterktk one of your points is what I'm thinking. When she's old enough, I hope she club tours and get cultured enough to create her own art.

  • @XxXL3AcHeRsXxX  respectfully, not anymore the 'the past' than biker rock. I hope she travels around a finds an art she can make pretty rips with, we both like her anyway.

  • @aleisterktk and learn to fuck your ass. this girl is shaping her career. try uploading your own fucking video and i bet you it won't have 20 views... just shut-up and masturbate or go fuck your dog. bwahhhhhh!

  • FUCKING GARBAGE. I am sick of reading 'Jimi Hendrix re-incarnated;' best 15-yr old guitarist in the world -crap. Sell all your fancy guitars; borrow $50 from Rock Legend Sammy Hagar and hit the streets with a half-ass guitar and learn life. Learn and live life! Drink, bleed, fight, make love, get your heart broken a few times, experience addiction if you must - whatever it takes to put some life in your music. You do not know the blues. Learn to tune your guitar while you're at it. Nice try...

  • @aleisterktk F-U-C-K YOU!!! you pathetic flunkie go crawl back into that rat hole of a life you have there.And while your at it tune your head piss breath.

  • @aleisterktk you're a fucking idiot 

  • Ur Amazing. This is one of my favorite songs and FAVORITE guitar riffs ever. You did them both great justice. Keep it up!

  • Desi has mind-blowing musical gifts, and then add to that, her "joy" in doing it!!! This is more than extraordinary, more than awesome, to hear her, WATCH her play all these "greats" is for me t-h-e-r-a-p-y!!! Yes!!

  • blowa orianthi off the stage

  • I love watching her play. She's having so much fun at it !

  • I like Her a lot. I think she could make a good bit of money playing more hippie music, instead of just biker rock. She has the talent for Steven Stills and Neal Young art, and she embodies 'The Look' wow, like an artist from the past.  (I hope She takes a good look at that genre).

  • @FlauntussFloyd Shes doing great doing what shes doing most hippies from the past are just that, the past. i like Stills, Young, and all the rest matter o fact got all them on OG LP. Get in where ya fit in.

  • Young Women ROCK!!! Not only is she hitting all the notes she needs to. . she's also playing where the keyboards are supposed to be. . . damn. . STFU!

  • lack of feel

  • desiree your amazing.. your journey is amazing.. congrats to all you have worked so hard for .. love your music

  • not much of a singer, but she kicks ass at guitar, she should get an all girl rock band together and take over the world like the runaways.

    

  • My god im lost for words....Excellent! oh and Keep Smiling Des'

    Jono Rezzillo

  • i love all her other vids but the solo sounded out of key and just bad she should stick to metal blues doesn't suit her but she could improve with practice great player though

  • You always seem to have a smile on your face when you play. It must mean you really love what you do. Keep rocking girl!

  • They don't usually play the coda, which I REALLY love.

  • @derek47 YES, girls playing above second position, xmas miracle.....just love that I have lived to see this.....amen, ah women. and I saw clapton live in his prime so I have something to compare it to........with every good wish for 2012.....signed, know what a coda is.

  • I'd love to see Desiree jam with Orianthi; they both rock!!!!

  • if she wasnt that good they wouldnt have hired her as the lead guitarist on the michael jackson tribute tour;)

  • @4yules that was Orianthi

  • @4yules The M.J. immortal tour thank you all.

  • @4yules Because back in 2008 when this was she was only 15 years old. She plays better than me.

  • wrong, very wrong

  • i dont mean to troll anything but.... shes really not that good :P

  • @Macc2356 bullshit man, maybe she didn't rehearse this one that well, but I'be heard her play some pretty difficult stuff, just check her channel.

  • @Macc2356 I agree she is not that good. SHe plays the notes but she lacks the feel.

  • @Macc2356 She's better than this. Off night perhaps. The girl can tap, triple pick, slide etc. with the best. She knows what to do and she knows when to do it; a trait few guitar prodigy's share. She's one of those guitarists who's like a well honed weapon: Not many applications for it but deadly when used properly. The thing is she's really young. With a bit more time and some fresh influences this girl could change the world. Watch her jam with Living Colour for a better exhibition.

  • She is skillful for a practiced young lady. However, she'll have to live a little 'til she's able to infuse the passion that can only come from worldy experience-tough to sing about love and the blues at 15-but certainly a thoughtful projection.

  • Connecticut's finest eh?

    Pretty good. Don't be cover forever kid!

  • She is awesome, I will give you that. But, she is a monkey; she needs her own songs. This is Bangkok shit.........

  • @AchromaticAdjulation

    She is an awesome cover guitarist, but I sense some hater-ism within you!

    Dude she's good, you're prolly not that good! Just accept it and appreciate it. :)

  • But yeah, if you took offense to my cover comment. I didn't mean what people think I mean. I meant that you can cover a song skillfully and other people are fail to question otherwise!

    And all these so-called "critics" prolly wouldn't even know how to tune a guitar! LOL!

    Just so you know. We be cool. *pound it?*

    Btw, rock on! \m/

  • Grow up she's freakn awesome. Why aren't you or your friends playing with any name let alone biggest in music thats not just being a girl

  • 15? I know 15 year olds who play better than her....and they have the same music interest.....It's just because she's a girl and all girls do is play chords 

  • She turned 19 this fall (2011), before leaving to tour with Cirque du Soleil Michael Jackson Immortal Tour as the lead guitarist. She is working with world class musicians and gets good reviews for her stage energy and playing.

  • @tb0432 wow she's amazing

  • The best hope. period!

  • My apologies //RS, you ARE a young kid after all! Who would'a thunk it? I went to your page expecting to see some phenomenal guitar playing...but you're terrible! Not even CLOSE to the level of this GIRL! You ARE jealous! Lol.

  • //Gilmourguitar. Are you stupid, or just cannot read? SHE didn't call herself "Hendrix Reincarnated." That was posted by another person.

  • Well //RS, when YOU toss up some vids of YOU playing onstage with Boston, Nugent, Hagar and others and YOU get Santana to say YOU will be a superstar someday and YOU are featured in Guitar Player magazine, then I will take YOU seriously. As it stands, you just sound jealous and petty. Go ahead and tell us how good you were as a young teenager, bitch.

  • She''ll be alright thru life if the world doesn't fuck her up.

  • she needs some young chicks playing behind her and some more vocal lessons this chick is good at that guitar though

    

  • jummm letss seee..haters=basement...Desire = .stage with hagar,nugent,goudreau,andy aledort and now lead guitarist for the Michael Jackson Immortal world tour 2011-2012...was featured in Guitar Player magazine..... haterrrss YOUU GOT SERVED!!!

  • She does very well. I think people need to support her better. People seem to have more fun at the concerts than judging and critizing and comparing on utube. She 's a young lady and I give her credit for finding herself at a young age and playing her ass of rather than wining if she's going to make it or not. She's got the energy now so why the hell not,... go full board.

  • some of her stuff is like STEVE VIA! pretty cool

  • Really, it's quite an offensive thing to do to call yourself the worlds greatest guitarist, I know she said 15, but that's not something you do because it makes you look like a complete douche. And besides, she's not that technically advanced, mostly just pentatonic scales and some Hendrix solo. Try to play some Malmsteen or Luca Turilli stuff like me, this guy here, commenting on you video is doing. If you can't shred you're not even close to the best in my opinion.

    //R.S

  • Ok Eric Clapton a 15 year old lil' girl just rocked the world with Layla....

    Wait a couple of years and she'll be on stadiums

  • as her voice matures..watch out world. good to see hope for the future of music..so lil wayne dont fuck gaga and shit beiber niggers everywhere

  • You will be a Superstar some day.

  • she's a brilliant guitarist but the band needs a singer

  • I have not seen her make any claims to be the best at anything. Vids titled with the "best" were probably posted by other people. I also have followed her posts on Facebook for some time and I think some of you have misjudged her character. As far as covers only, wrong again. She has 3 CDs of original material.

  • My hat's off to this young lady. I have seen many of her videos and do think she is having fun with her life and she should enjoy it too. Great player. To the childish winers that have their own issue of support and a need of growing up, you are the failure in your lifes. Give her credit, she is trying to enjoy life, support her.

  • @gilmourguitar123 she clearly thinks shes a lot better than she is..................she is just covering songs...................and im 13 and i can play just as well if not better than her

  • @MrDerrylad That's funny, cause when i checked your profile it says your age is 21, not 13. And I didn't see any videos uploaded of you playing guitar, so why not post some and really see if you're as good as you claim to be. If not, then you're full of hot air.

  • @MissVoxx yeah im currently on my cuzins profile and forgot to log out............and ill upload a video of me playing soon

  • how can you put down anyone that does what they love and make them happy

  • Give her a break guys..she's Allman or Clapton but better than a lot of people who are commenting here.

  • she´s increbly good! but it´s a bit too fast!

    a bit more feeling and not only technique.....

    but WOW. she can manage this...

  • Incredible.

  • Jimmy page started as a studio musician playing back up to various artists. Including Cream. One Eric Clapton was very impressed w/ him. He joined a band called The Yarbirds. The rest is history.

  • The tempo of the song, in this version, is a bit forced, that´s only what I meant.

  • @MrJeppelin

    The problem is that she is 15/19 and we are comparing her playing, tempo, feel and tone to Clapton, Allman, Hendrix. Those qualities come with time, experience and life. By the time she is 23 she is going to be unbelievable.

  • Wow...

  • Finally one of her vids I can leave a comment on!!! You rock!!! yeeaaaaa

  • Talented, needs the management to steer her to the TOP;_)

  • Not a great voice. Talented guitar player, but i know about 8 people as good if not better, who wouldn't get as much attention because they're male. Meh, keep on doing what you love though.

  • One of my favorite covers by you!

  • Amazing!!!!!!!!

  • A bit forced, this one. But it´s with good intentions and a great smile.

  • @MrJeppelin ...see you shouldbe her manager... thats an excellent observation.. shes great but had someone "coached" her... she would understand what you mean.. Forced..

  • @crobilly19 clueless.

  • It already did take her places. She is now 19 and lead guitarist for the Cirque Du Solei Michael Jackson Immortal Tour. I think she developed her bends and different technique because she started full size guitar so young. Small hands and it takes some hand strength. But at least from 16 on she normally bends just fine to pitch and with vibrato.

  • Man does a heart good to see someone this young this good with an appreciation for the classic good stuff !

  • No voice but give this chick a few more yrs with the guitar and she mite go all the way lets face it the real hard part is gettin discovered and then if yu have talent which i think she does it mite take her places

  • It's great to see a guitarist happy.. That's the most important part but I don't understand why she's so famous. Her technique is very amateur, bending the neck upwards when she does bends and she doesn't have any vibrato in the notes..But eh, a girl who got lucky. Cause she's a girl, I bet. If a guy were doing this, or even me, I could title my video "13 year old boy plays Layla" and nothing will happen. As soon as it says "girl" it will blow up.

  • @EspGuitars1337 check out Quinn Sullivan plenty happened

  • Tres bien! (^^)

  • Every desiree I know is awesome

  • Well done girl!

  • Holy shit, dude, this chick kicks ass! that Schecter is bigger than she is, that little chick packs a damn punch!

  • She is talented. But Ifind there's some things to make better. First, the guitar (are they humbuckers ?). What is the amp ?..... The recording is bad. All sounds a little bit confused. Maybe needs she a better rythmic. The drumming sounds somehow archaic.

    Her voice sounds too weak (or is it also the recording ?). ...... Well...

    Nevertheless, congratulations. Hopes for the work on the voice (maybe a little shy ?), and waiting for more practice and some years.

  • @Holz4xa sounds like the sound was recorded from the same camera that did the video, most likely a point and shoot, thats why the the sounds are off.

  • Good player but no voice AT ALL!!!

  • nice girl nice skill

  • And they say women are treated unfairly!!?! Seriously! This is NOT good at all!Just because she's a girl and plays the guitar doesn't make her a great guitarist. MY ears are in pain now.

  • its an amazing cover. I have been playin for 7 years now and I find this song very difficult along w vocals. Great job Dez!

  • HEllo, I've been watching videos of this girl, I think she plays well... her smile and her atittude is... well no comment.. but I just see her playing with many musicians, bands and other old men... but what 'bout her now? she should look for a fixed stance.. 'cos I think she´s just circling, so... she has to find a way no? well... confratulations for your guitars and your playing, sorry for the english i'm just learned

  • Maybe She should be at the next Crossroads Guitarfest????

  • Try to get in contact with Eric C. Maybe he once will explain his thougts ... and you'll notice you will play this song in quite some other emotion ...

    You're great !

  • gifted from God..keep it up..good personality.. =)

  • Good Job !!!

  • Nicholas Cage on bass?

  • lol her guitar is not even connected

  • @kingmartint lol!!!..this is a wireless guitar..duh!!!..like a wi-fi ...

  • @kingmartint Hahahahah!!! nice joke!

  • the sound of her guitar is very bad, she has absolutely no feeling - she didn't understand Clapton - makes me sad to see to hear so a bad interprrtation of Mr. Clapton :-(

  • @hoffmadi ..she is 15 for fuck sakes....show me you can do better ..at whatever age u are now....and then u can do negative comments....lmfao!!!

  • @fauconbleu77 She's not 15

  • @fauconbleu77 i believe she is either 18 or 19 now.

  • @hoffmadi ..and we weren't there..maybe it is the video that was badly recorded..

  • this is not really good :-(

  • I love your playing, your spunk, and your smile. keep rockin Desiree.

  • TOCA CON MADRE ESTA NIÑA, SIGUE ASI

  • One of my favorite songs of all time. Makes an old man smile! Go girl! Dwayne is smiling up above!! I'll do the piano part for ya. :-)

  • wow........

    and with a smile on her face the whole time..

    what a great performer.. and guitar player..

    she is going places.....

  • she's a fantastic player. did good at playing claptons song, something most girls her age could never accomplish (most people her age dont even know about clapton anyways ;) )

  • i hate that tone of the guitar otherwise it was pretty good

  • @slowhandskydog1 that's the problem with Schecters, they have no feeling. they are instruments, not guitars.

  • She has a good vocal sensibility, but it seems to fit softer songs best. But the guitar playing is fantastic, of course.

  • Shit she's good

  • I have not word

  • MichaelJhoan...I dont know why you see it that way either...this GIRL rocks and she's just fun to watch.

  • girls on guitars don't go well... don't know why I see it that way...

  • @MichaelJhoan i don't know why you see it that way either. this chick is AMAZING. well, her guitar skills are.

  • WOW!!!

  • Impressive guitarist, but poor vocal ability.

  • Whats with the maracas?

  • @edaboladik thinkin the same

  • @athertonm Haha

  • @edaboladik LOL good one

  • @xniquilador

    Haha thanks. Seriously, though. Whats with the maracas?

  • I'm a fan of Desiree. It's refreshing to see talent and charisma on stage.

  • woooooow

  • I dont see why all her videos are being hailed as "best female guitarist EVAR"

    She does really normal songs & isn't that special.wow a girl, big deal

    But to her credit she still has hilarious guitarfaces. Gotta have one

  • Su the korean girl is light years away from this young lady...But she is quite good!

  • in my opinion he is much more skilled

    watch?v=l9smMXp4SC0&feature=re­lated

  • Comment removed

  • gettin prettier.

  • awesome!!!!

  • tocaras muy bien, pero lo que es cantar se te da como el culo

  • @13Musicmachine I kind of agree with you, but really, @sicandela, if a couple of 5th chords with 3 note pentatonics in between in going to be the greater glory of rock, then rock will not last long.

  • Desiree is amazing. I just love her!  She is such an inspiration.

  • I love the fact that Desiree and Orianthi, both monster guitar players play rock. I guess its kinda hard to be a child prodigy at sampling or "producing". Continue to kick ass ladies.

  • She can play the guitar very WELL!!!!!! gave me chills!!!!!!!

  • dtmtanker@ he said it a bit harshly , but he's right ,with all due respect, she's not that amazing , and she could do with playing with more finger vibrato, and exscuse the pun but she could play with more balls , and less distortion , it would put her in a different league and make her somthing more then a shredder , but her voice is ok I guess

  • There is nothing greater than seeing someone do what they love to do, doing it magnificently and enjoying them self. Desiree, you are a prodigy and may you carry on the rock n roll torch. PS keep smiling!

  • don't get the attraction to generic rock and roll.
