Orianthi: Highly strung

[bigsherm7]

I compare her to Hendrix, and I don't do that lightly . . . at about 2:00 is when the song takes me to another dimension . . . I can hear Weather Report, Chic Corea, Spyro Gyra . . . any old Spyro Gyra, or Weather Report, or Chic Corea fans out there??? This young lady can shred . . . .

[DracomancerFilip]

Fuckin awesome song, the Guitar riffs are awesome.

[AlwaysSDTVing]

It is really good.

[tchijay]

Maybe i'm wrong and the only one to think that but this song sounds like the Andy Timmons style. By the way its really cool for orianthi to play with the great guitar hero Steve Vai.

[Volentrix]

It's very Vai-ish. It's very good.

[AlmightyShteve123]

@Volentrix its because steve vai is on the track aswell :)

[Whitesnake1987me87]

@Volentrix totally agree, its like written by him and played by both of them. Nevertheless its a good one

[MsHappyjellybean]

she has a cute australia or british accent i luv her!!!

[greekitaliangerman]

@MsHappyjellybean your right about the australian part she's australian and greek!

[owenmftmb]

SHE IS HOT AND AWESOME AN I STARTED BLASTING THE MUSIC MY NEIBORS YELLED AT ME BUT I DONT REALLY CARE

[Sh0tToHell]

@bobsparky321 I play both Guitar and Drums and believe me Guitar is much Harder to play them drums

PS: SHE IS AMAZING

[Marshallsatten]

Neither guitar or drums are easy if you're good.

[Headcheezonium]

I have true confidence that she is going to revive Rock N Roll! Go Orianthi!

[b16b4d63r]

Starting at about 0:45, it sounds like something out of a Capcom game. :P

[TheITopher13]

@b16b4d63r omfg i thought those excact words

[livepunx]

she can play ,nothing more

[bobsparky321]

i know shes great and all but give that drummer some credit these drums are insane and drums are alot harder than guitar

[1Musik101]

She MUST have her own guitar hero!!

[eikokie]

@1Musik101 agreed. nuff said.

[IntoFixation]

I saw the actual music video to this song...it's really amazing! Her skill blows my mind.

[GardeOCR]

There needs to be more of this. It is a very distant dream of mine (likely never to be fulfilled) to be able to play alongside the greats like Vai, Petrucci, and Satch. Congrats on getting to play with Vai, this piece is great, it sounds like you both had fun in it.

[aporoid]

this just screams awesome.

[llnll1023]

Never knew she was MJ's Guitarist!!!! shes the best

[mylifeasdarian]

i love orianthi, especially in this is it<3 i am so glad she is following me on twitter<3(:

[Vuhawan]

please marry me!!!

[99vampqueen]

@Vuhawan ..wow..... :S

[Raella94]

Cool. Steve Vai's guitar and Orianthi's blend together really well.

I wish that someday, all the godly J-rock guitarists could team up and make something like this. :)

[MrFou72]

it sounds a bit like satriani!!! this is good!!!

[Pascalliej]

woooow she is one hell of a guitarist

[evansawesomevideos17]

@KidFunkyFry15

Why?

[PhetMeow]

it sounds like an alternate theme tune to a sonic game. :] lol. x

[carlman99]

@PhetMeow nooo way it sounds like goku beating some villians head in.

[PhetMeow]

@carlman99 who's goku?

[carlman99]

@PhetMeow goku is like the main character at of the anime dragon ball z.

[17edwardluver]

This is soooooo awesome i wish i could play this on guitar!!

[Fahnestock]

sad that all her talent is wasted making shitty pop music.

[Chainsaw20x7]

@Fahnestock You know what genre the Beatles are classified as? Pop-rock, so apparently that genre isn't the devil.

[Nidaime299]

both great and i love them both...but id rather have vai 2 myself..

[DanielSherrer]

@KidFunkyFry15

dude i'm pretty sure she does... check out violet journey... name says it all haha

[getsuga987]

A: shes fuckin hot

B: i think shes on par with some of the great guitarists

C what more could u want in a girl

[zadok327]

she likes to cook!

[BlaxicanX]

@getsuga987

What about, like, a great personality and intelligence?

[getsuga987]

@BlaxicanX Man as in thats my first impression of her well but i bet she has a good personality (remember just thinking) and i think shes kinda intelligence unlike yngwie malmsteen whos an arrogant fuck but he is good : /

[TheKentakrazy]

@getsuga987 you wanna be the same and like the same kinda things you gotta truly LOOOOOVE YO, but what do i know, im just a stupid kid....

KING. IN. DISGUISE.

[DivaBlood]

Wish I could play like that

[SaitanSoldier]

For those who don't know, Steve Vai is playing in this song as well. He's on the left speaker, and Orianthi's on the right I think.

[chelzeaify]

yeh this song has enough to find a home at my channel. that is hard to do. love the drums.

[ilovedyoux033]

love thiss sonnnng ! ( :

[PoprappingSongwriter]

THREE WORDS!! ORIANTHI IS AMAZING!! :) gosh, she is just so so so talented

[mooii26]

@PoprappingSongwriter I agree :)

[DrumDestroyer100]

@lilprincess y don't u pick up a real guitar insted of the cheap plastic toy I used to love to play GH but now I'm a drummer I'm not sure if I could play this on the drums yet don't hav double pedal yet

[moranman20]

[sw33ty212]

ahhh!tight!she's awsome!

[MJfonda2009]

...but why isn't she singing?-.-

[angeliconda123]

@MJfonda2009 .... Because it's a guitar song...

[mmysstic]

@MJfonda2009 It's an instrumental. People don't tend to sing on those. :-)

[xxxakibmaxxx]

holy shittt!!! this woman knows how to rock a guitar!!!

woooooo!!!

[foxpatriot89]

Orianthi rocks!!!!

[17edwardluver]

this is soooo awesome. i have to learn this on guitar. orianthi rocks!!!

[NickMiley08]

i love this!!

[lilprincess152]

loving the electric guitar~!

Wanna get it on guitar hero haha :)

[bannaboard]

i want the tabs

[lizzymewdows]

I LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[punkfunc]

this song is feat steve vai? : D

awsome

[ericfreund]

holy shit this chick is such a mad guitarist rock on orianthi:)

[DimebagZappa]

Batio over Petrucci any day of the week. Behind the blazing fast shred hes an amazing songwriter. Very well versed in jazz, blues and classical guitar. Piano as well. Arianthi is hot. When she plays guitar i get a hard on.

[FarazR2]

sounds like the soundtrack from "Sonic Adventure 2: Battle". Don't believe me? Listen to the "Metal Harbor" track. Very similar style except with a lighter mood.

[doranemon]

this song features steve vai too

[dragon18783]

Woah, such similarities between her sound and Vai's.

[karenchoasy]

The video for this song is now private! i've been searching for it for days!

[4Gibson4]

I want the videoclip of this song with Steve Vai!!!!!!!! Please!!!!!

Hi from Spain!!!!!!

[dragon18783]

there was one, but someone took it off! :( Atleast I got to see it.

[4Gibson4]

I see too! But now is private!!!! T-T

Sorry, but my english is poor, I'm Spanish

Hi from this!

[HectorPagano]

is there steve vai??? really awesome song!

[VickiGirl61597]

i know guitar but im gonna practice tapping....

[lazidude14]

thought i recognized steve vai in this song.......fuckin awesome......marry me orianthi

[FrankAMartone]

verbatim on what an awsome pice this is this gives new meaning to cloneing and i'm not taliking about that in gender but apreciation for the similarity in style and sound . kind of sound like what it would be like if steve could have jack butler in his band for real.

[ankanasta]

Wow.. i wish i'll play tike this some day... GREAT!!

[1guitarwiz]

It says on the album that she worked with Vai on this one.

[DDotts17]

Dude that was awesome very Steve Vai like sound but I like her better than Vai he's to show off whammy crap idk but she is very good i mean Vai is amazing just not into his style of playing

[atheismwins]

using whammy bar is totally showing off haha how shallow of you

[Yeshi9909]

@DDotts17 It actually features Steve Vai! Awsome!!

[ppmguire]

If you like this then you like Vai period. This is his type of music and he is the second guitar in this track.

[ThatGuyCalledPhillip]

@DDotts17 You know that Steve Vai is the second guitarist on this track, right?

[petc00049561]

The song is got fuck shit cool!!!!

wow !!

[tcwyt13579]

Highly Strung!!!! you rock!

[silvertrumpet152]

Limoncello182 u don't know what ur talkin about. First of all if I used anybody of ur lost it would be slash and orianthi, but neither are In the top 5. If u base it on talent it would be: Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Micheal Angelo Batio, Alex Leigho, Randy Rhodes. And I couldn't even put them in an order because each has their own style. Those r some of the best guitarists ever

[zzzslashzzz]

u forgot jason becker marty friedman yngwie malmsteen

[NosferatuOfWorms]

Batio over Petrucci?!

[dayiiv]

she is playing very vai scales and style but you can tell who is who on this, i found it cos someone said you couldnt tell. they were dumb.

[nicholai42]

Yes that is Vai. She's fantastic, but she's no Steve Vai.

[bastardperson666]

Orianthi is the best!!..wooohoo! you rock girl!.. (^__^)

[rpcadiman1]

Is that Steve Vai with Orianthi ? If not someone is doing an excellant job of sounding just like him

[Sveekido]

This one and "What's It Gonna Be" are probably my two favs right now off this album.

3rd is "Feels Like Home" I think, but it changes on a daily basis.

[jeromeT1020]

@Sveekido I'm not really feelin Ori I was expecting her music to be harder.

[zkbutler]

she's a beast!

[Kelitude]

ROFL I second that!!!

[TinarinoConcepts]

holy shit she's amazing

[soccerallstar06]

limoncello182, and Violeyt Oriathani is damn good but if you like her you should check out Buckethead, Steve Vai, Frank Zappa, Joe Satriani, and Paul Gilbert, all of these guys are amazing

[Violeyt]

limoncello182

ARE YOU CRAZY?!?

ORIANTHI IS THE BEST

ORIANTHI PLEASE COME TO BRAZIL ♥

[turtleygirl]

Awesome, she and Vai make cool duet buddies haha!

[DeZy21597]

I`m serious this girl can play! She is my Idol i sware! I want to be like her one day! ♥!

[VAIou812]

Go Steve!!!!

Man, I'm not a big fan of her music, but when I listened to "According To You", it made me think, maybe the guitar still has a chance in popular music... I love it that she's found a way to make the guitar important in her music, but still remain modern-popish... If her album does good, she may inspire many modern aged people to play guitar! :D

[Haleyx3Meep]

Love love love her! XD She's awesome!!!!

[limoncello182]

top 5 world's best guitarists!!!

1.) sum 41 = dave baksh

2.) tremonti = alter bridge/creed

3.) ORIANTHI

4.) Santana

5.) Slash = GNR/Velvet Revolver

[wendix125]

i so agree

[starpeaceful]

holy f***!!! she can shred!!!

[Z3R0024]

Yeah it should be

This song is freakin awesome!!!

[kayylenrox]

This song should be on guitar hero

[turtleygirl]

@kayylenrox haha, well, lots of songs should be on guitar hero :)

[jessihebby]

I am more impressed with this girl than I have ever been with any other musician. Jesus she's awesome.

[Bowtome09]

3 words

Holy Fucking Shred

[mmaier2112]

I'm boggled as to why you think this sounds like Maiden, but opinions vary.

Very fun little tune. This chick seems to seriously rock.

[Iris1116100]

OMG

I can't say any words!!!

[lincolnm01]

thats so good i wanna try and remake it now lol

[riffmeister76]

I love Vai and I think Orianthi is cool but isnt this pretty much recycled drivel that got left on the Passion and Warfare cutting room floor? Just my opinion but this song seems pretty 'Stock ' to me.

[okdookeygirl]

SHE DOESN'T SING.

*__*

[PennyGirl720]

she DOES sing and has a very beautiful voice. this is just an instrumental track, which she likes to do because she's a fabulous guitar player :)

[khump777]

OH MY GOD! amazing phrasing, this is what I'm talking about! Very Passion and Warfare-ish by far some of the best (understatement) playing I've heard in a very long time!!

[illgino]

Orianthi i love you girl impresionantes rifs aparte de ser hermosa eres genial con la guitarra ..............................­......simplemente unica..........

[Talkie15]

Wow. Not only is she an amazing singer, but she is an incredibly gifted guitarist as well. Great job! I definitely love this song!!! ♥

[HendrikHolm]

Oranthi plays beautifully and Awesome!!!. Both beautiful and plays great :D

[ShredST]

meh. I guess it's cool that Vai's on this, but it doesn't sound very inspired.

[mikegara79]

has Mr Vai written all over it, but still well pulled off by oranthi!

[chaotix1790]

this is some sonic shit

[voytek27]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is collaboration with Steve Vai.

[FarSh0t]

you are correct

[frankbraker]

according to his tweet yes

[taylor1111111111]

ORI FOR LIFE!!!!!

[megarichard420]

DAMN! this is total wickedness

i think i just became more of an orianthi fan more then i was 4 minutes and 16 seconds

kind of reminds me of kirk hammetts riffs from metallica

Orianthi=best female guitarist

[Landsberg09]

Might be because both Steve Vai and Kirk Hammett were tutored by Joe Satriani. Then with Orianthi beening largely inspired by Vai, and with him helping write this song. So yeh... All amazing guitarists!!!

[megarichard420]

thats true dude...

kirk hammett=orianthi=steve vai>satriani

this is only my opinion...the students tought the teacher in this bunch

[fallenxwishes]

damn! amazing

[CJ090]

I heard them playing this on Elvis duran and ive been looking for it for the longest this is such good playing its like the soundtrack for a video game or anime im telling u im am shaking from all the fast head nodding i just did immagine listening 2 this juice up on energy drinks

[gigga97]

lmfao......This girl is fucking amazing!

Its good to see a hot blonde with some real talent :P

[knlei1]

for rock band or guitar hero i would love 2 see the chart lol dont care for ur negative comments

[JodiKoh7891]

WOOAHH!!! I LOVE ORIANTHI !!

[1SPENCER10]

[112358p]

[9markolino0]

woooooooow!!!!!*_* orianthi is a dream....an amazing dream!!<3 beautiful and the queen of the guitar!!!

SEI MAGNIFICA!

[Screaminsaint]

Reminds me of '92 Brad Gillis. Gilrock Ranch. Impressive but cheesy.

[agathabrown]

OHMYGAWD

[fantasythinker]

HOLY SHIT

[wolfnravenDX]

DAMN! seriously, this lil pop chick holds her own against motherfucking STEVE VAI???

[mindwalkr]

[Clinton06]

[ermonski]
