[amr7861]

my god D=

a girl who can play guitar like that is top notch in my book =]

[zadok327]

This girls songs Own!!

[chelzeaify]

geez i am blown away again. without You Tube i would not have found her. amazing talent. feels like Jimi Hendrix -- ive never said that before.

[wesclev83]

please don't flame me this is just an observation. she is great, but i noticed is that she holds her pick weird which when holding it like that it is very difficult to pick fast.

[zadok327]

@wesclev83 that could be , check out the "song for steve" vid , see if she has any speed troubles.

[shakidaki]

@wesclev83 if you have a strong enough fingers and hand and arm you can use your pinky as an ancher and you can also have guitars specialy set up also known as diald in thats what a guitar luthier is for but some guitarist do some of the work themself

[MannyBlue65]

@wesclev83 - Maybe for you it's hard but for her it works great.

[lehseh]

gives me chills every time I hear this song

[greekfreak1980]

Wow! She's an amazing guitar-player,dropdead gorgeous and Half-Greek,BRAVO KOUKLA!!

[jfkncl]

Keep playing, unbelieveable, Keep playing, Pleassssse!

Rock Will Never Die!

[copperywirey]

Truely Beautiful playing, divine!

[alienbikerider]

This is my favorite song on Violet Journey

[77gitrzan]

i'll say it again....we boys have been put on notice....only question i got is why didn't she get somma this playing on 'believe'? soulful playing does way more for me than shredfest any day

[bjfx123]

@77gitrzan a shredfest with feeling is the perfect combo for me...shes got it

[pieNjam]

I just discovered Orianthi today and am blown away. I have only been playing guitar a few years and this girl is the real deal. Even her solo stuff has heart felt lyrics w/ great solos, I'm blown away. I mean holy cow. If all women could do what she can, all men in this world would love to be married

[5150VanAlien]

Orianthi in Greek means something of true beauty and that's what I look at in playing and aesthetics....

[newsource]

I can not even touch my guitar any more :)

[heart1973]

DAYUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[dymac33]

I'm in heaven :)

[davecorey8756]

AWSOME

[zuisaxena]

An Inspiration fr me...

[Misa011168]

Go Girl! Many blessings to you!

[Blairc54]

she an australian i saw an interview and you can hear the aussie accent

[sdarms111]

You're right, I just checked wikipedia and she was born in Adelaide, Australia. I looked before and remembered incorrectly. I stand erected!

[LIBERTYTREE60]

Orianthi Panagaris (or Orianthi as she is known professionally) can make a guitar sing!

To quote Carlos Santana, "It's not cute any more. It's seriously ass-whupping. If I was going to pass the baton to somebody, she would be my first choice."

I saw her in the M.J. movie, she rocked out on the song "Beat it".

We are gonna see great things from her in the future. I hope that she keeps her focus and does not get distracted by fame.

ROCK ON!

[sdarms111]

You can totally hear the Santana influence!

[Starlitblond]

OMG!! what a great musician!

[Herbmeister1]

You are the best, your guitar and your voice in so much harmony it touches me every time I hear you.

[JohnLRice]

Talent 10+ Looks 10+ Class 10+ Sexiness 10+

[Aussie27Legend]

Australian 100+

=D

[Starlitblond]

OMG.. not only is she hot.. and a great guitarist.. she sings so sweet. Never thought I would fall in love with a girl...

[jdanton]

Adelaide, South Australia. Great Wine, Fantastic Beaches, Beautiful Hills & Orianthi, what more could we want?

[AussieKCGal]

This chick ROCKS! Nice soul/blues playing and singing...DAMN!

[orifan4life]

I am truly a fan for LIFE!

[sidewinder17]

INCREDIBLE

[RealFroso]

U are the best woman guitarist i have ever seen !!!!!! I admire u very much!!!!

[gmlasam]

amazing young guitar player....she was to go on tour with Micheal Jackson.... RIP Micheal.

[froglet85]

Just discovered her, what great playing,,,,,,, go there and beyond.

[vracan]

Goes to show to all you females, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!...having seen a few girls be too intimidated to learn to play to THAT level, and not to just the level of the go-go's!

I'm a accomplished male guitarist and can say any real musician WELCOMES any women who can play like that!!!

YESSSSSS!!!!!!

[MPDSR422]

Rare. Very Rare. 1. Great feel and understanding of the instrument. She knows to leave some air in the solos. Mature beyond her years. From what I've seen she isn't spilling everything she knows on one solo. 2. Screaming leads have traditionally been associated with testosterone. 3.Fearless. Trading licks with Santana. 4. She has a great set of pipes and could hold her own with anyone in rock. 5.She was signed by Geffen so her music has to be marketable.

Count me in. I'm a fan. And she is cute

[imalwaysright1]

holy cow. im watching her on the grammys with carrie underwood as im typing this! she rocks

[deanbassist01]

i know wasnt she on fire!!!!!!

[peaveystrat]

[DinkyMax]

Ok what else to please me??? She's amazingly beautiful, might the best female guitarist in the whole world and have a beautiful voice....OMG....Keep on rocking girl!!!

[kingnandor]

[DinkyMax]

Pretty talented girl with a beautiful voice and some amazing guitar skills...OMG!!!!

[firesign72]

[BilliHeathMusic]

[ColinPRS]

She's a great player and singer.

[snakeeyes2222]

dudes, stop the bitching, love this music hate this music, think you know all, or accept it that you don't know shit.

this music gives me that special feeling, I enjoy it

If you don't enjoy it, go watch something else.

if you want to comment something negative go ahead bu do it with respect, playing like this takes practise, I think a lot, zinningtong thinks a lot less, but no denying she worked for this. R-E-S-P-E-C-T

[RobChappers]

With a major record deal and an endorsement from PRS I would hardly call he dime a dozen,I know music is subjective and all but surely you can see she has some great feel and some good technique? As for playing bars... How do you know that she hasn't worked her ass off for years playing dirt floor bars?

[dean24uk]

my gosh, its jilli hendrix lol, if she is only 18, she has a great future ahead of her, well done  girl, the world needs more like you :)

[ajlover0107]

有技藝

有歌喉

有美貌

真是不容易....

可惜台灣的女孩大多只有看到舞台的那一面

卻不願下苦心

好好的練習

所以

都變成虛有其表的女孩......

[jawadahmad77]

SO much talent! Why isnt she big yet?

[nightmarecinema33]

Because most people like their female performers stupid, shallow, and superficial. Hell, most people like any performer that way. Clearly, this is not the case here.

[chicozero]

Sad world. Ain't it?

[goodbooooy]

She is such a fantastic Role Model for aspiring young Musicians. She is obviously extremely talented. I hope the likes of Santana & Vai will help her through the industry sharks !

[Phrix0s]

She is generally impressive. I love this sound, and my god shes beautiful.

[doctorlava]

Your playing impressed me!

Keep at it you have a bright future!

[fretsonfire75]

this is my favourite song by her. she should be more famous.

i love her.

[przeLooy]

She is like my best friend and my wife in one person. Wooooooow

[dannyt92548]

Whoa!!!!

[AllenCollins1]

i cant do string pulls whilst usin a capo, how can she, damn, lol

[fretsonfire75]

how is it hard?

[AllenCollins1]

naa, its not hard, i mean, when i do a string pull with a capo, the strings stay in that postion

[fretsonfire75]

your capo is too tight.

[AllenCollins1]

oh right, i didnt know that, thanks

[fretsonfire75]

no worries.

[hull9819]

Soulful and bluesy...killer

[tonflows]

wow, she has to be the best female guitarist i've seen by far!!!!!

[Vomitorator]

AGREED!!!!! Highly suprised!!! And I feel horrible about it, but it just seems like most good guitar players are all me but she has a good voice and shes an incredible player.

[samira1220]

wow shez amazing.

[95noro]

is she going to be the next satriani????xD

[invisiblealan]

perfectly!!! could anybody find the lyric of this song?

Thanks.

[mojo81]

old school playing (like Joe Perry or Paul Kossof), whicha touch of Buckley for the soul. Nice.

[goatmoe]

Like the rest of giutar players out there.. i'm still in shock.. this girl is in a league of her own. check out her music on her myspace page... I know, How could it get any better than this... it does!!! I've seen carlos wave his hands in worship to this girl.. WOW!! what better review does a person need...

[genpetdriver]

yes, your right, Ive read that Carlos has said that if he could pick one person to carry on his musical legacy, it would be orianthi

[MeltedDuron]

wow... I've not seen someone play with that much feeling for quite some time, love the lead playing, sounds very santana with a bit of slash, and something else much better that i cant quite put my finger on.

[DavidCasper]

I'd say it's a bit of Clapton, actually, especially if you listen to some of her other stuff.

[trimags]

some Santana too

[123fung]

your music very good.you gave me how to do for my future.thx for your music.this is real music.because from your heart.

[taikoking]

When I first saw this clip, I almost fell out of my chair. Incredible playing!!! Never mind that she sounds like santana or srv, she has her own voice,very soulful.... Kind of playing that touches peoples heart.

[vman456]

I want to marry her.

[frankinstine87]

ditto.

[dea4590]

OK SunnyCool, I'll respect your opinion, however, I'll ask the same from you. She's too good to start an argument over and I think we'll both agree to that.

[SunnyCool]

agreed, she rocks and that's that. ;)

[SunnyCool]

thanks bro, but even the tone she's got just screams santana - Maybe this song is way more into her blues influences but if you listen to Lights of Manos you'll know what I mean.

[dea4590]

Sorry SunnyCool, but I have to disagree. She has a style ans sound that is unique to her. Santana may be one of her influences, but she is in a league of her own. Just as Jeff Healy was influenced by some of the old ax masters, he has a sound of his own. Orianthi will be a force to be reckoned with in the future of rock, so rock on my blonde goddess.

[SunnyCool]

totally can hear santana through her licks... just awesome. Good thing good music isn't dead yet...phew.

[JimKevinMurphy]

Wow, i get to put the first comment about Orianthi!!!

To all of you guitar freaks out there, watch all her clips, buy her CD & if you get the chance GO AND SEE HER LIVE!!. She absolutley burns and truly deserves more recognition. Never seen a guitarist so easy on the eye either lol. Great clip series of clips thanks a million for postig them

[musicluvr58]

Nail on the head for certain! For all that have negative things to say about her it's too bad..For someone who's a young as she is, and of course, very beatiful, her real beauty is being expressed from within...something that many guitar players don't have these days. My hat is off to every single person out there that plays any kind of music, but please, give this girl a break!
