  • She's awesome!!!

  • when she sings, you can't tell she is from australia. but when she speaks, you can spot where she comes from a mile off

  • Orianthi herself should take some fucking lessons in creative and original songwriting. Instead of that Repetitive, shallow pop shit she is making now. Yes, she can! play guitar, but beyond that..she is ..nothing. She sounds the same like everything, that you already hear a fucking 1000 times on the radio...such a waste of talent.

  • @NickTzoutzoukos since when did proper guitar playing have to be about only playing difficult things

  • Solo's a combination between Sweet child o'mine, crazy train, and some scale shredding, lol.

  • Is it just me, or is the main riff in that song just U2's with or without you?

  • How can someone be so technically good at guitar, and write riffs that shitty garage bands could do better than.

  • @wellilikemusic By riffs I mean chords progressions, not solo riffs.

  • no balls

  • She doesn't sing with THAT accent.  Weird. She's darn cool though.

  • I like the part where she ripped of "Glycerine" from Bush

  • 4:08 "Oh where do we go now, Where do we go!" Lol she's not even trying to change the arrangement or anything there. That was done a few years before she was born. lol. She loves the reverb knob too.

  • @Megathrasher1975 she can love my knob aswell.

  • YOU FORGOT THE BOUZOUKI TUNING PHIL X SOLO IN THE SECOND CHORUS!

  • Comment removed

  • All you guys are talking shit on her? Mean while she's doing this for a living and got to play for Michael Jackson's band. I think she's doing pretty well...

  • @esppaul You can still have an opinion about someones art, regardless of who they play with and what they do.

  • Comment removed

  • Lol th riff is from the Cars.

  • La weona fome por la chucha, Zoe Thomson le vuela la raja. xD

  • This is quite horrid. I could at least give her some credit if she at least made up the song herself.

  • Come lo tieni bene il manico !

    Smack !!!

  • She needs to work on her tone as its god damn vile...typical shred sound with that nasty delay to make it sound faster.

  • Same chords and rhythm as Glycerine by Bush

  • just another generic pop song

  • That girl is soo beautifull...

  • Fucking hell, a I V VI IV chord progression in the verse, how inventive, never heard before :L Who the fuck is this girl?

  • @spredspred Not shure if trolling?!!

  • @ChromX5 Yeah I am, it's highly unoriginal that chord progression is in a million different songs, just like the solo she played unoriginal with bits directly stolen from other peoples music, I was being sarcastic in my original comment! :P

  • It's hard being a woman in the music industry, let alone in a dying industry like rock music.

    Be happy for her, but don't say she's anything special.

  • anyone who says she is good is merely patronizing the girl. she is shit, she cant right shit and she deserves no less negative treatment than everyone else. thats equality

  • She came up with the guitar solo... yea ok.

    1st part - Sweet Child Of Mine

    2nd Part - I guess it's hers

    3rd Part - Eruption

    Real creative there

  • she is........not pretty.

  • her voice is so disgusting

  • @valdivia562 thats cause she's Australian.. they all have a strange accent :P

  • @christjan08 yeah i know but ive met some people with australian accents in school and they did not sound this stupid

  • @valdivia562 True, I guess that it depends on what part of aussie you come from. different parts might have different accents

  • @christjan08 that or she might be thickening it on purpose

  • @valdivia562 or that :P

  • toda gashoed jim jim gashoed jim birthdays 7 years apart same name. keep oldest jim alive

    dis honerable ones gonah get the world going till you have to bang the gong es fighting with reggie arcie issue.

  • Verse sounds like "Glycerine" by Bush.

  • @gnrboy

    You're totally right, she plays excactly the same chords. But then again it might be a really basic chord progression...

  • she reminds me of Sam or Bernie from gears 3 with her voice lmao

  • i was playing my guitaaaa~

    

  • @hurricfitri yes i agree, i hate to say it but she gets alot of attention purely because she's a girl, she's not that amazing

  • She is a lucky woman. Many guitarists are geniuses, but are not recognized or rich like she, because she had just a big big luck to maid it in the music industry. the music of her is just something that is heard million times before. She is just a product, and the team that is behind her is selling her like she is some awesome guitar player but she is nothing special. And all that great gear that she has many want but cant have. that sucks-she has all that she wants not from her pocket.So lucky

  • Simplest is in some cases the best. Very pop rock kind of

  • Very powerful sounding guitar, I wonder what pickup, amp, pedal combination she's using to get that kind of noise.

  • she has a very annoying voice

  • 4:08 third solo by sweet child o mine hahahhaha

  • rip off solo!

  • Haters, shut up. Period.

  • My guitaaaaaa

    

  • Are you kidding me, that riff the the chorus to Weezer's "Pork and Beans".

  • she is a great player but she should try not to copy that much it´s like litening to severel already relesed songs just putet together same with the solo

  • That's not a kitchen!!!!!!!!

  • try playing Veil Of Maya stuff. you'll shit yourself.

  • this is what I play, and im not world renown...

    Her tapping is like the most basic stuff evar, and only a blues pentatonic hammer on/pull off things

  • @wesman0120 she has tits and a decent face thats why she's somewhat famous. Her playing skills are average and she's a pentatonic wanker.

  • @GrenadeCatcher Pretty much any rock/pop lead guitarist uses the pentatonic scales. Whether it be major or minor. Your not going to see someone use modes unless you start listening to solo artists.

  • @gbsons orianthi tries to sell herself as a solo artist but comes off as just another santana clone.

  • /watch?v=oOlDewpCfZQ

    

  • Hahah wow I feel honored guitar world removed my comment!

  • Can anybody tell me why everytime I watch a Guitarworld video there are at least 25 comments from idiots who don't know shit but act like experts?Well I saw her life with A.Cooper,excellent guitarplayer,great vibrato and control over her instrument.And about the ''rip-off'':the majority of solos and riffs are ''rip-offs'',SRV stole from B.Guy,Gilbert from Malmsteen(who stole from Paganini), Hendrix from C.Berry and Slash has ripped-off G.Moore,West,Schenker and Paige.

  • G'day, Orianthi here! Stick another shrimp on the barbie, mate! Grab a tinny and sit down ya bastards.

  • @bingefeller Golden comment

  • Her accent is goddamn disgusting..

  • Comment removed

  • Shut up guys! Of course she didn't came up with the solo's initial notes. Maybe it was some sort of tribute to Slash for being one of her influences or something. So far she has been doing great, taking in consideration this guitar industry is governed by men. Overall, she is okay, but at least, she's trying.

  • Wow that song is boring.

  • @NapoleanXV she can shred she just uses the same modes for all the leads, which is why its that way. i totally agree with you. she doesnt use any lower leads

  • She looks like shit and this "music" is for GIRLZ ;)

  • The playing is so bad...

  • @DL390 do better...

  • @Spedly There's already precedent for better guitarists.

    Something that's completely forgotten by most these days is that the appropriate solo is always better than the mindless noodling.

  • her parents are fucking stupid

  • how bout' pple stop hating? 

  • shes got really good control actually.

    Good vibarto making the note sing.

  • i heard the slash influence as well.  that's not much of a breakdown. that's like michael jordan telling you how to dunk from the free throw line. jump.

  • Wait is she a Australian, fuck that is an awful accent even for an Australian

  • 4:28 = slash rip off

  • 1,5,6,4 progression. thats a new one

  • maybe if i dress up like a girl i'll be world wide famous aswell?

  • @MusicWhore10 possibly, but not because you play guitar.

  • and an awfull tone...

  • I don't understand why she's regarded as a guitar idol. Her songs are boiler plate Kelly Clarkson garbage and her chops just OK. I'll take someone who can write compelling music any day over a fake blonde who can two hand tap...

  • LMAO its a 4 chord song XD

  • Comment removed

  • you got an awfull accent :P

  • my 2 fav things. PRS and boobies.....in that order

  • At 4:08 its too obvious its from sweet child..

  • I love how her "breaking it down" is playing her solo at lightning speed lol

  • Every musician has rip off someone at one time or another....stop complaining and enjoy the music.

  • I totally agree that there's way too much hype around around her and TBH I'm sick of seeing her face plastered over every guitar magazine. I do think she's a big improvement from the shit music that the idiots of america are exposed to everyday... she's bringing shredding back to pop music dude. It may not be up to your standards but she's a hot chick that's shredding

  • The only way to combat pop and pop artists is to check out channels like mine and help give us, less fortunate(more like less financially funded) musicians a fighting chance, everyone claiming that they know talent or whatever, how much do you really know? The people that get publicity are those who can afford it now a days, any REAL musician will tell you, having to pay for, recording, living, touring, etc. Is ridiculous, people give way too much credit where it's not deserved.

  • beautiful girl

  • When it's not directly copied from another player ( sweet child ) the rest is just a bunch of cliches.

    *** If that was a guy not one of you people would give half a shit about his guitar playing.***

  • @shovelthumbs78 That's what I've been saying!

  • I wish I had watched the "Sham Wow" video instead of this bollocks

  • The start of the solo sounds like the beginning to the solo to Guns n Roses sweet child o mine lol. But whatever, about time young women were playing guitar professionally.

  • @replica07 by that I mean women guitarists getting noticed more. There are some pretty excellent female guitarists around, just not as known as this girl.

  • @replica07 It sounds that way but there's only so many places you can place your fingers on the fretboard so note combinations like that are inevitable. My gut feeling, though, is that she probably take that note-for-note to start her solo off but then she goes off to something completely different right after that. It's not like she took the entire solo, pasted it into her song and claimed it to be hers. If that were the case, Slash would be able to collect from it.

  • @uofm97 Don't get me wrong, there's nothing really wrong with it! lol. Kirk Hammett openly admitted that he took from Hendrix for the start of the solo to Wherever I May Roam! And he said that guitarists take from each other all the time and laughed about it lol. Nothing wrong with it, she was probably unconsciously influenced by the phrasing in that part of the solo to Sweet Child O Mine. You can't make something truly original, its usually always an amalgamation of stuff you've heard/seen.

  • @replica07 That's true. By now, everything you can do has been done and heard so you're basically left with putting bits of stuff that's already been done and mixing them up until you come up with something different.

  • sweet child o mine rip off!!

  • she should use the neck pickup during the second and tapping part of the solo to clean it up a bit.

  • She doesn't make pop songs with those fingers she makes METAL!! SCREW POP! 

  • @alxdd2 you're kidding me you think this is metal...

  • 4:26 "sweet child of mine" with tapping exceptions Sweet b of mine

  • @quivsha THANK YOU!

  • 3:13 guitar riffs????

  • is it cookney she speaks :P

    

  • @quivsha No, she's Australian (but currently living in the USA).

  • i now like her better than hayley williams!

  • I LOVE HER VOICE!!!!

  • Hahaha wow terrible, she ripped that lick from slash at 4:08, AND the first rhythm section, I can't believe girls get SO MUCH exposure for having a vagina and shit ton of make up.

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose all guitar solos are rip offs of other guitar solos... All this means is that slash is probably a major influence on her playing. She clearly has more talent than you're giving her credit for If Santana says "if I had to pass the baton to somone, she would be my first choice." I smell jealousy dude this girl has chops.

  • @bringback10klf Smell whatevers in your room man lololol, I'm not jealous, the greatest respect is to go far beyond the limitations of your idols, not further RECYCLE them for YOUR own betterment, I get your point sort of butttt, this chick is all hype, it's true, I know it, you'll deny it, and she'll ride that pony till she dies, so who cares anyways if people copy other people that's what pop is right?

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose then why is she considered and up and coming guitarist and not you? I have mad respect for you as a guitarist after watching your videos, but you need to give the chick some props for her chops. anybody can play fast just like anybody can masturbate, but this has feeling behind the notes she plays....

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose I hate pop LITERALLY as much as you, I promise. But until you get Vai or Santana on your record for a cameo, I'll consider you a jealous SOB just like myself

  • @bringback10klf Yeah dude but if that's your logic than you're at a fail my boy, tell me, how good is that one ugly jacqueline mannering chick??? And who has also been seen with her? Vai, all you need is a little publicity and a lot of money to get 'recognition' from those chumps they don't actually care about her dude wtf lololololol maybe when they do a cd MAYBE but till then you're defending someone who could care less about anyone on here debating how crap she is.

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose to put it in perspective, she stole maybe 7-8 notes from slash In this entire solo. I steal from my heroes who steal from their heroes and so on. Its why we have guitar solos in the first place, because we heard someone else do it and it sounded badass so we wanna do it too.

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose Every guitarist takes something from someone. No exceptions. Unless one strictly tries to claims it as their orginal composition, no one especially another guitarist can say "oh you got that from blah blah." everyone sounds and plays different so get off her vag. She can play; which is ore for what normally passes as a modern musician these days.

  • @TheVintageZero Wow dude, maybe if you could explain yourself better I could understand butttttt, no, there's plenty of people who write awesome COMPLETELY original stuff that have WAYY more talent than this chick, I don't know what modern musicians you're referring to.

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose you're joking right? shes actually freaking good chekc out highly strung which has her and steve vai in it. and btw she did rip it form slash you douche that 3 notes which anyone is bound to do

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose steve vai got away with it...

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose and breast. don't forget the breast

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose slash is a shitty guitarist and has no talent, he does minor shit and is over rated. dont say he is a "metal" god cause he was in a "GLAM" metal band. glam means GayLA Metal.i watched it at 4:08 and your retarded, an upward pitch harmonic(which slash never used) dumb fuck

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose honestly i agree, but ironically she does play cleaner than slash.

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose i dont think you can say she ripped off the rhythm part, its a pretty well used progression. tons of songs have it. its kinda like a 12 bar blues. no one is really ripping it off.

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose I'm not defending her in any way. But if you listen closely you can hear many guitarists take riffs from other players. People they could be really influenced, you're complaining, if they hear it, they could be flattered.

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose Just great man, that was hilarious hahaha

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose yeah man, I mean I'm all for having influences and pooling licks for your own style but that was like the first few notes of the sweet child solo...

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose jealous? everyone thinks she ripped it from slash lol bro seriously stop flamin hes prolly an inspiration to her just as he is to me when i play dam turn down the hostility christ shes really amazing go watch hghly strung or any of her other songs and tell me what else she "ripped from slash"

  • @Gerrkin1592 He's got a point. She should probably at least mention that the very first lick in her solo is the beginning of the solo in "sweet child o' mine." It's note for note. If it's her ode to Slash that's cool but not even mentioning that she borrowed from him isn't the right thing to do. It's one of the most recognized beginnings to a guitar solo in the last 25 years. You can't just act like you wrote it.

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose Couldn't agree with you more. If she was a guy no one would care.

  • ....... aren't those exact first power chords in another song?

  • @WeveGotNoTimeToLose Those first power chords are the same progression used in Bush's glycerine. If she wasn't drop tuned she'd be staring on the G and that would make it Greenday's When I come around. I guess its fine to rip off not only the rhythem sections but also the lead work of some of the most successful songs of the last 20 years.

  • i dont get what shes saying, is she american? her english is odd

  • @clearminding she's austrailian dats y her english is quite funny

  • I know the tapping part of the solo is really easy to do, but it sounds so beast.

  • she has beautiful eyes...you could stare into them all day

  • @metallicaspiker16 How do you know?  You can barely see her eyes for all the makeup.

  • why she plays just this solo.In every video?It looks like she can play just one solo

    '

  • way 2 much kitchen jokes

  • Wow, that's some great tapping dur! No offense, like she's obviously a great guitarist, but come on, i was playing those tapping licks in 9th grade.

  • Sloppy playing, bad technique, horrible teaching skills you should rename the video this isn't a lesson, and bad speaking skills. How is this girl famous? Wtf

  • such a shitty guitar sound :o

  • Comment removed

  • it's impossible she didn't know that part is exactly like the one in Sweet Child O Mine

  • Damn! How impressive and demoralizing all in one! To see such an incredible guitarist and get your ass kicked on the frets by a girl!

  • I LOVE HER *Borat voice*

  • I'd rather play a variety of stringed instruments instead of just stick to electric. Like Steve Howe! :) He's one of my all time favorites and I already have three years of experience in electric and acoustic guitar, along with a small knowledge of the violin and classical guitar. I hope I can get a pedal steel some day! My dad says it's a strong possibility! YAY!!!! :)

  • She shreds amazingly on guitar, but maybe should've stayed in school. Her vernacular is like, totally limited. You know. and um...Yeah.

  • sex, i want to have it with her

  • i heard a higher pitched version of the beginning solo to 'Your Betrayal' by Bullet For My Valentine at 4:19 o.O

  • You know I have a dream where I can watch a Guitarworld video without at least 25 idiots trolling around and bitching about the tone,or point out that a riff is ripped off, or saying that guitarist X or Y is waaaay better than the one on the video or ,my favorite,''I can play better'' etc. P.S.Saw her with A.Cooper last month,she did an excellent job.

  • @joncool25 Hello mr all-caps.

    Now very rarely on these semi-impromtpum guitar lesson vids the guiraists have good tones.

  • always thought it sounded like Glycerine...now it really does...simple chugging ... LOL Buuush!

  • Orianthi loved guitar so much that when she first picked one up she started strumming lol

  • @joncool25 I hope you know how sarcastic your comment is.

  • I would not put her playing or her tone down. She plays better than most guys I know!

  •  in spanish!!!!please!!

  • solo, what a rip of van halen

  • that distortion makes me wanna throw all my equipment out the window and burn it ,-_-'. you are really g0:00d at guitar. Don't ever stop playing.

  • The chord progression she uses at 3:00 is like the most over used chord progression in history. Check out "The Axis Of Awesome - 4 Chords" video. It's pretty funny how many songs use that progression.

  • She has an annoying accent dudes :D

  • This is every male guitar player's dream girl right here! She is a beast on guitar.
