  • I hate the way this chick bounces around on stage with that stupid smile. She looks kinda queer. Lol. Like....just stand still and play, will ya? This chick should try not to move too much...she has no stage presence whatsoever. Pity. Pfffft.

  • Love how the old schoolers like Sammy, Ted, and Ozzy are giving these young people exposure.

  • AWESOME. that's all I can say bout this girl.

  • Wow...This video rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • So cute she is.And she seem to have so much fun.You go sweetie.

  • Listen, the girl looks happy and all, but come on, really? There is no usage of the pinky at any time during the solo. Her technique is VERY stiff and her vibrato is almost non existent. It looks as she is really pushing on the strings to get them to bend. She has a very amateur technique. I just question why she is so famous, more famous than Orianthi at least.

  • @EspGuitars1337

    I'm thinking because Orianthi has NO personality, imo. While she may or may not be technically better, she is boring.

    I'm sure Bassett will continue to improve, I'm just bummed she's wasting her talent on music I hate.

  • @TamaChupa Right, understandable. I don't see why she is so famous though (Desiree).

  • @EspGuitars1337 she did ue her pinky, but i till dislike her, she disrespected that solo so much. I hate her face

  • @MrRich6505 I do not think she is a good guitarist.. Very beginner-like technique and plays nothing worthy of being this famous. But you know, shit happens. Woohoo for the music industry.

  • all i can say is "i do"

  • What I look for in live shows is that the performers are having a great time. Desiree looks as if she is having the time of her life on that stage!! Her moves and her smile would put anyone in a great mood!! Great Job, Keep it up!

  • Holy SMOKES Desree. You good.

  • To RandomMocker...Those who can play just play. And those who can enjoy just enjoy. And those who can't do either just mock those who can. How does it feel to be so insignificant?

  • A comment for RandomMocker...Those who can play just play. And those who can enjoy just enjoy. And those who can't do either just mock. How does it feel to be so insignificant?

  • I have never heard Desiree once claim to be the greatest or the best. Not all performances are displays of virtuosity or intended to be that. The crowd seemed to like it - mission accomplished. And fer chris sake - shes what 15 or 16 here? I think some people forgot how to have fun with music.

  • This Young Lady is probably better than the Majority of the nay sayers who leave negative comments cause she'd up there ON STAGE & they are NOT. Smile & Rock on Desiree'!!

  • you rock girl...nice to see youngsters like you in the right music perspective...no pop crap. again: YOU FREAKIN ROCK...i'm a huge Fan of Joe Satriani and i think if you keep goin like that you'll gonna keep rock alive for some time longer.

  • she looks like she should be on the partridge show...

  • @MondayFilms - well now you have! Who the hell gives a shit if she smiles a lot?  I happen to like it.

  • dude this chick freakin rock...i strive to play like her and who cares shes playing with sammy freakin hagar

  • think about buying a short scale guitar, that thing you got there looks just ridiculous on you...

  • well, this is cute and she can play alright, but playing a couple of fifth chords while keeping this smile up the WHOLE darn time is NOT the height of rock. I have yet to see a virtuoso who keeps their facial expression static throughout the whole performance. She has the potential, but, as we all do, she definitely has some stuff to work on

  • @mondayFilms

    oh and btw...wouldn't you smile standing on stage with Sammy?....who wouldn't...is it possible that you are jealous of her beeing so freakin good at that age?

  • @Kryldor DAMN SHES REALLY GOOD! i would be fucking jumping around in an audience like that!

  • you can just see how she loves playing ... keep it up girl ...

  • VERY VERY Nice!

  • She's got a lot of soul, is having fun and she CAN play. I LOVE it!

  • She is SO cute, with her little-girl knock knees (every now & then) and beautiful smile! So many young female celebrities turn into trailer-trash tramps but I have a feeling this talented young girl is a lot brighter than that. Desiree, ROCK ON, GIRL!

  • If Sammy likes it, that's good enough for me.....

  • awesome!!!

  • Sammy get some real clothes!!!!!! lol

  • @midniterunband lol he looks like zach gal as a bum. she's great though :p

  • she just looks so silly soloing

  • She plays a he'll of a lot better than most of us! If she wasn't good, do you think Sammy would have her up there?

  • Slow down, why so much shred? It sounds just like everything else. Great guitarist but boring... IMO

  • Wow! Desiree really rocks!

  • great job Desiree' keep on rocking.

  • Actually, in all honesty peanut, not. And a little honest criticism doesn't make you a hater

  • what in the HELL is up with all these haters?

    Miss Bassett, take it from someone who's been listening to high-quality music for nearly fifty years - YOU ROCK!

    don't EVER put that guitar down. you've got the touch, and your talent today reminds me of another musician i first heard when HE was a teenager just starting out as s session guitarist - Ritchie Blackmore.

    keep rockin', and please don't let these tone-deaf fools dissuade you!

  • A whole lotta slop in that solo.

  • @yourtubesteak Sorry Bud, better than you. so stfu

  • Haha love her gameface

  • rockin the Roadstar... u go girl.

  • anyone that has anything negative to say about this girl is just jealous.if you were a teenager on stage with sammy at the mgm you would have a smile from ear to ear too.dont hate just because she has done more in a few years then any of you losers will do in two life times.

  • I'd like to someday see a friendly(?) guitar duel between Desiree Bassett and Jackie Mannering. They both have their strongpoints and talent worth keeping an eye on.

  • hate to tell ya this, but that aint the mgm grand, Thats his place the CABO WABO

  • @MagillJohnM wrong Foxwoods casino in Ledyard Ct.

  • @DesireeBassett hahah owned!

  • She is pretty cool! let the guitar speaks!

  • Playing music is about having fun and entertaining. She is having a blast up there and you can't help but to smile watching the video. 15 and playing with Hagar and Ted Nugent and your not gonna have fun? Awesome video.

  • desiree you are pretty cool

  • this girl has CHARISMA!!!

  • she can't stop smiling.

    she does it all the time.

    we'd all be in a better place if we were half as happy as she is when she's on stage.

  • one of the better female guitarists of the day.

  • @theotherguitarmansam If she sticks with it she will be the best female guitarist there is, kudos Desiree, keep it up!

  • This Girl have ATTITUDE!!! (And a Big Smile when she plays.... And That is: ROCK´N´ROLL)

    I see SAMMY´s Big SMILE for a Big Talented Woman!

    DESIREE: Best wishes from Bilbao! (SPAIN)

    Pablo Quintana

  • waaaaaaaaita minute !!! thats the guy from chicken foot is he not !??

  • shes so stoked she cant stop smiling or she dropped some cid/shrooms perhaps, permasmile

  • hoyl shit dude!! she fucking rocks! omg!

  • SO GOOD! shes enjoying it sooooo much! even better then her talent is her stage presence! a true musician

  • she's more talented than anyone on this comment list. hell, all of us COMBINED! period. all of you shut the hell up.

  • I just figured the smiling was a result of maybe her parents constantly reminding her to smile when she was performing (whether she was happy or not) and it just kind of happens now. She's probably not even aware of doing it as much as she does, especially since she's a bit busy with the guitar and all. As someone else said too, most guitarists make some kind of strange face when they play. Great young talent and I hope she goes far with it.

  • For the losers in the world stop taking your failure to succeed in life out on someone who will obviously be on MTV Cribs 1 day. I just bought her CD and think we should be supporting someone who is the best among us and doing a great job of exemplifying what makes this country great. She is young, yes not perfect (but who is?), and how many among us can even say we were close to being as talented and with such desire at that age? This girl rocks. Kudos to her and her parents.

  • Comment removed

  • Why is that retards comment on womens looks instead of their talent to entertain. Desiree is a natural born entertainer. I didnt hear any one critisize Eddie Van Halen for his "smile" or looks. Most guitar players make odd facial expressions while they play, I gues if its a guy its ok. The problem here is men who have never been able to master the guitar anywhere near Desiree and even less be able to entertain a concert crowd. If she deosnt entertain you why do you keep coming back for more?

  • LUCKEY KID!!! 

  • what guitar is she playing summit like a schecter???

  • That girl is CRAZY GOOD !!! BRAVO, DESIREE' !!!

  • Hells yeah !!

    Led Zeppelin all up in here

    DAMNN!! the solo 0:59 her face :D

  • This little girl is AWESOME! And she's having a blast jammin' with Sammy.  She's having fun, so why would anyone wanna mess with that?

  • She smiles too much....xD

  • @djluis49 maybe she is happy and having fun. You think.

  • @speedwayaudio3 I hope so. But anyway, she is fking great, for real.

  • damn girl ur a hit cant believe it lol i wanna jam with u ive alsways wanted to meeet a chick who could shred

  • you should be in the kitchen making sammichs

  • @xxsan1991xx You should learn how to spell, then shut the hell up

  • @jecdown Faggot

  • you rock girl! keep it up.

  • i Think, i just might think she just inspire me to play the Guitar =D she is Amazing at what she does please don't stop

    When did you start playing?

    or if im talking to someone else, When did She start?

  • wow^^

  • Comment removed

  • @Tracker932 play with hagar much? she did. some people smile when they are havin a shit load of fun!

  • @Tracker932 Would Sammy Hagar sing with her if she wasn't good? No.

    You are jealous man, you little bitch.

  • @Tracker932 You are one giant bag of vinegar and water. Here is this young girl playing her heart out and having fun and you gotta have some jealous comments to make like you are some kind of music expert. You just can't handle the fact that she can run with the boys. If she was playing just random stuff she would have never been on stage with Sammy Hagar, The Marshal Tucker Band and Ted Nugent. Plus you have to drop The "F" bomb were you know that young lady is going to see it. You are a jerk

  • and you are a very lucky girl. you should thanks to god!!!

  • I apologize. i did not mean to offend. but nobody can be compared to hendrix.

    he reinvented the art of playing guitar!!!!

    one video of a (unknown) friend:

    h.t.t.p.:.//.w.w.w.youtube.com­/watch?v=D98OIs5lp5o&feature=r­elated

  • That's just such a fake smile.

    Also the stuff she is playing is piss easy, if you practised anybody could play that in about a year. This is one of the many things that's wrong with this world. Steps to success:

    1. Be young.

    2. Doesn't matter if you're crap, just keep smiling.

    3. Attain a level of ability that will impress morons and people who know fuck all about the instrument.

    4. Enjoy your new found fame.

  • @RandomMocker

    go change your diaper dude, you have'nt got a clue.

    1 you don't know her 2 anyone could play that in about a year and she learned it that day

    3 so Sammy knows nothing about the instrument ?

    4 go bark at the moon

  • @bassettlandscape I didn't say "play that" I said get to that level of ability which is true. Okay maybe I was harsh in saying she was crap, she is distinctly average. She should do more than the baby pentatonic stuff then she will gain more respect among people who actually know the instrument. That does not mean go away and start shredding because shredding is pretty damn lame as well, unless you use it properly.

  • @bassettlandscape Learn to read retard, I said "...impress morons and people who know fuck all about the instrument"

    That is OBVIOUSLY not referring to the girl. I don't need to know her to know that's a fake smile. She may genuinely be happy but that smile is taking the utter piss.

    Woof woof, what did that achieve?

    Damn, the education system really is a pile of shite these days, it keeps shitting out retards like you. Unfortunately, it seems to be a global problem.

  • @RandomMocker is this guy an asshole or what folks ?

  • @DesireeBassett You got that right!

  • @RandomMocker Well, she's on stage with Sammy Hagar having a jolly old time so let her enjoy that dude.

  • @RandomMocker For someone who seems to think they are holier than thou how about putting up your work on the Tube big guy? As far as the education system it seems to be turning out more arseholes who are haters than those with talent like DB.

  • @RandomMocker Well we all see what kind of education you got, not much of one, if I was Desiree standing on stage with Sammy I would have an ear to ear grin too don't be a prick, prick.

  • uuuuuuuuuumm......I think he has a boner. Covering it with the blanket. And he totally put his hand down his pants.......sorry my mind is the gutter. anyways...i have a guitar but don't play it. she makes me want to though. cool girl

  • Comment removed

  • Her smile reminds me of why I play music, because its so much fun...

  • ur just jealous of her!!!!

  • she knows how to play but shes sloppy and all over the place...... I know how to drive a car but you wont see me in NASCAR.........

  • @michaelflores22

    Oh, I see what the problem is. You just dig on commenting about shit that you know nothing about.

    Desiree Bassett is one of the best technical guitar players around, despite her age, a fact that completely kills your opinion of her playing being "sloppy".

    Had you said she lacks her own style, at this point, you might have sounded as though you had some idea what the fuck you were talking about.

  • sHE GOT NO STYLE!!!

  • @hellhammerforlife

    That will come with time. She's an amazing player, technically, she'll grow into her own style as she gathers experience playing out with various people.

  • She is great!!!~Sir Richard William Wallace...

  • She really tries too hard. And smiles too much. I really don't like her.

  • @allhailpantera123 wrong, for her it is effortless

  • @allhailpantera123 i totally agree man

  • @allhailpantera123 dude shes playing with sammy hagar get over it

  • @allhailpantera123

    UMM...JEALOUS MUCH???

  • @allhailpantera123

    she just like to play music... can you feel the music ??

  • @allhailpantera123 that fact that shes smiling MEANS THAT ITS EFFORTLESS, how ignorant are you?

  • @allhailpantera123 you dont llike her for enjoying herself?

  • @allhailpantera123 don't be a hater,I know you speak according to your taste...I really don't listen much to the kind of music she plays but i can appreciate the fact that she is very talented...the way she plays she can smile all she wants,she is straight out getting down...

  • @IIIDaTRUTHIII Don't be a hater? LOL @ your new-age "English". If you don't listen to this kind of music, keep your ignorance the fuck away from it.

  • @allhailpantera123 hater is not as new as LoL but okay boss,I'm gone with the wind allhairypanoch123456789...if your smart and know whats good for you don't reply....okay mr LOL@???

  • @IIIDaTRUTHIII If I know what's good for me? If you know what's good for you, stop thinking, you're hurting people that actually know how to. Grow up.

  • @allhailpantera123 smiles too much? you must be a first class asshole to even think of something like that.

  • Comment removed

  • @allhailpantera123

    Would'nt you smile if you were shredding with Hagar?

  • @allhailpantera123 You know what....I think your wrong Sammy.... Foxwoods I think id be grinning ear to ear too .... I know what ur saying ....But man the girl is GOOD.... Just saying .....

  • @allhailpantera123 So I had to wonder what kind of person would make this comment??? Oh ... a 14 year old from India. Probably says nothing about India and a lot about 14, or in your case ... 14 going on 12. Sorry to have to say that, but someone else will anyway. We say here ... "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all". I'm sure they have something like that in India and you should remember it from your good mother. Good luck.

  • @Paige9900 Doesn't matter what kind of person I am. I as 14 two years ago, but you obviously can't read. Get a life, apart from hat your "good mother" tells you. Learn how to think for yourself, and I'd rather say something ridiculous than something nice. Grow up and accept it. I might be 16, but I can clearly think on larger planes than you can, proved by your small-minded comment.

  • @allhailpantera123 Oh sorry! ...."you'd rather say something ridiculous than something nice" ... well, ok .... you're doing an excellent job of that! Probably because you're thinking on "larger planes" than the rest of us. By the way, what color is the sky in your reality?

  • @Paige9900 It's whatever fucking color I want it to be, kid.

  • @allhailpantera123 "you'd rather say something ridiculous than nice" ... we get it already. Now go to bed.

  • @Paige9900 Whatever dude. I have little time for pretentious douchebags like yourself.

  • what is he hiding under that towel.... : |

  • Wow ! Very good ... please see this fifteen years old guitarist and tell me what you think about

  • id be happy too if i was a 15 year old girl playing music with Sammy Hagar...

  • beariful guel . dance comigo na pista balada balada.

  • Wow, I'm a 56 YO. harmonica player and I have but one thing to say...WOW 5 stars 6 if i could

  • women shouldnt be allowed this much happiness

  • Little Lady is Rockin Out!!!!! SWEET!!!!!

  • Went to Desiree Bassett's concert at Mohegan Sun last night. That 17 year old knows how to rock and roll! We were so greatful . The entire night was phenomenal! What a great show..and all the people there were wonderful!

  • shes not even that good

  • @PIMPZproduction Stick with RAP PimpZ, here's a prediction for you, three years from now, you'll still be a butt head.

  • rockin!

  • Comment removed

  • @JoshAndHisGuitar Josh, if you just take the word your trying to spell and put it in google, it'll offer you the correct spelling. One second let me try it with petifile ..... ok I put in petifile and it came back "joshandhisguitar", go figure? It's spelled "pedophile" in case you are wondering.

  • this comment made me laugh lol. I will remember that haha

  • im gonna marrie with this girl !! kkk

    but tapping in led zeppelin it was not good =T

  • This is my Desi. Simply the best.

  • Her weird static happy face scares me

  • And your stupidity scares everybody here.

    Go to hell.

    ASSHOLE.

  • @doctorbenh86 Dude, if I was sharing a stage with Sammy Hagar not only would I be smiling like an idiot, but I'd probably piss in my shorts.

  • @doctorbenh86 Let's see how you look when you're surrounded by rock legends who're obviously having a great time playing with you

  • she has to start slowly and build up her solo..

    She's putting all her power in 3 fast licks xD

  • Yeah and you know who did the best with that? Eddie Van Halen. They have the same virtuosos, so she is capable.

  • Exactly, but she has to work on her sound too, 'cause i can barely hear her. Great guitarist thought.

  • We still love watching all Desiree' s videos and wating her rock.. my kid has this poster on her bedroom wall, and is proud of it.... how cool is that!!

  • You go girl

  • That bloke could do with a haircut.

  • I don't know if that is entirely true. I seek out young interesting players...Only a few like Desiree come along with the power of a pr person (usually a parent) to get them to stardom. I believe Desiree' s Dad is part of her band and probably her primary pr person. On the gender flipside, search Nathan Cavaleri. He actually had a blues album (same name) and was on stage at the Kennedy Cntr with all the blues greats. He was 13 at the time...I think it was a PBS special...

  • Attitude. Technique aside, she outshines everybody out there. She has what it takes- sure...So does the other halfmillion preteens on Youtube. But her stage presence isn't gawky teenager, or preadolecent . She s seasond already. Besides, if she's only "average' like you suggest, How come she's on stage with Sammy? But, there is something unique about her presentation. Something that puts her a notch above the rest. I suppose I'm looking at something else in the same vids...

  • Yeah I can agree that she is good on stage for the fact that she plays like she doesn't care what anyone thinks, she is just having a good time. Thats great. That's what music really is. How come she is on stage with Sammy? That's my point, she only is because there is all this hype about her that only exists because she is a girl.

    In no way do I think it's a bad thing, she is lucky to have the attention. It's just if a boy had the same stage presence and skill - he wouldn't be in her shoes.

  • I need some professional shot vids of you now...I need to see you at the Grammies....You need to record albums....You are a smokin' hot player the likes we have not seen in a long while. Your smile lights up every stage you seem to hit. Your playing is really amazing! You could be a shot in the arm of Rock needs with your near legendary style! (too young to be legendary..yet) But you have a style that will be inspiration to girls and boys alike. I need to see pro stuff from you!

  • Desiree's mad hot!

  • The only thing missing in this video is the beginning and end. The one her mother filmed is shaky and poor quality. I'd love to see the whole performance from start to finish.

  • any one can play that lol they can and i deaar u to fuckin put a thing near me

  • Desiree!U ROCK!

    Let's rockarolla.:)

    Aim urs big fan now!:D

  • I suppose it is to late to see is she wants to start a band, eh? She is great! Very talented!!

  • WOW, Desiree, I'm blown away. I too will be watching for you in the future and hoping you can go far. You have amazing talent, keep it up girl! 5*+sub too

  • he sux and he can suck my left nut
