Kristen Capolino at The James Burton International Guitar Festival 2009

[graveljaw]

Weird. At first its just terrible, because you expect something decent on guitar...but then you keep watching it and start to smile. I'd imagine her audience is middle to old age men, and its doubtful anyone would "listen" to this for long...but the whole package...yea, it works if you stick with it for more than a few minutes.

What I really like/love about her is her absolute energy and continuous.smile.She`s got chops for days but,she seems to be having the best time.

Out of 5 J.B. festivals this is the only one that John Goodman wasnt the MC. Now he's one heck of a MC... known to do a shot of tequilla and sing a song or two and mingle with everyone....Bob Kenny(Spongebob Squarepants)was a nice guy but down here in the South, he was kinda like a fish out of water! No offence Bob, we still enjoyed you... :)

[SeattleMark1979]

@chach2000 NO!, there's nothing wrong with the announcer.

I`m sensing a lot of jealousy here fellas! If we could capture her enormous energy output we would not be in an energy crisis.

Intense vibrrato and phrasing,Luv her !

+I think she grew up practising on a trampoline.?lol

[slimturnpike]

real emotion, more than just shredding, nice to see in such a young player.

[DougRoxxx]

For all that think that her stage presence is "over the top", or that she's being an intentional "poseur" , I have just one question? .... IF you can play even remotely close to as phenomanally well as she can, can you play that good, or even play your best, AND move around like that without ever even looking at the neck, and not  make any mistakes .... I doubt it ! ....Angus can, but as much as I've always admired him as a player and a showman - What he plays is way simpler - She ROCKS !!!!

[BaptizedinFire]

Yeah, her mannerism is a bit distracting. She's been gifted with a hot female body, but she's using it like some random male poseur. Call me sexist or whatever, I still think that one should cherish one's unique natural gifts and make the best of them, not conceal them just to make some kind of point.

But she's a really good guitarist!

[theartistkeith]

I was there at the show and really enjoyed her playing, however her stage presence or mannerism, was a bit distracting. I really wish she'd just play her guitar, but yet a very talented young lady.
