  • KENNY WAYNE SHEPPARD BAND . HE DOESN'T SING BUT IT'S HIS NAME AND BAND.

  • tears in heaven? anyone else see a similarity?

  • Her skills; better every day, acoustic or electric; if she can slow down some, add blues, jazz, country/blue grass licks in Her music; you'd have an unstopable force! All the speed metal she's admires, would hardly be required. All the greats in mastering the guitar know this. Her voice will come out even better. I support her efforts. Go Desiree !!

  • People are complaining about her voice because she isn't using Auto-tune or some other gimmick.... Give Me A Break !! This is live with an overhead mic and no effects.

    This song, done with voice-overs and studio effects would be very different.

    Sit down with your guitar and record the result on a tape recorder...

    you won't sound like a Willie Porter.... or Desiree.

    Good to see you trying different things Desiree....

    Keep up the Excellent Attitude and most of all Have Fun !!!

  • She is good , but she has to work a lot if she wants to be like Orianthi.

  • she needs a number one song, it does not matter how good she is. Got to look for that number one song

  • i like your voice ;) we cvan tell u got the talent and u worked hard!

  • What a beautiful song, Desiree it seems like you keep evolving and getting better with each new song that you write. I hope you continue and shoot for the *Stars* heck you're already there as far as I'm concerned. Keep on smiling and never quit playing from the heart!

  • Nice!...Great job..

  • she can play good ...dont like her voice though :/

  • fiouu what a catastrophic voice…

  • thats my future girl friend lol i want someone like that in my life. music helps the soul

  • Of course, Luken2k, she could NEVER hope to play as well as you obviously can.

  • I wanna see a super rock group, Desi on guitar,

    Caitlin on Drums... watch?v=VVJucEbY830&feature=ch­annel_video_title

    Jennifer Espinoza on vocals... watch?v=dLWKsQwvChw

    Maybe they are technically perfect but they rock

  • she's a better guitar player than she is a singer. actually, she sucks as a singer. just being honest.

  • not sure what to say from 2:00 - 2:04. :)

  • @regeseki "gross" is what i'd say.

  • @avin4723 yeah, lol....

    

  • whats up with tha cameraman?!!!?!?!

  • haha I'm amazed that more people can't hear how bad she sounds and it's not like the playing is so tough that it's hard to concentrate on singing look at the chorus it's the simplest chord progression ever but that's not really making a difference now is it?

  • randy girl

  • 0:47 look at that poor Les Paul. May the person who did this have a slow death and burn in hell!

  • Yeah baby it is hard to shred on acoustic guitar...she is nothing without electric guitar...coz U have to play real music on acoustic....mind it...../

  • @roxen801 you can't 'fake it' on an acoustic guitar can you ?

  • @taariqtaariq I don't know abt electric..but believe better than her on acoustic....really she is playin this cover like learnin kid..../

  • thats amazing....you have to admire someone like this.... im still jealous tho!

  • 1 QUESTION TO LUNGFIXER, HEY? STUPID! CAN YOU SING & PLAY THE GUITAR LIKE HER @ THE SAME TIME? YOU LOVE TO GIVE COMMENT ON THIS MUSICIAN BUT YOU YOURSELF I BELIEVE YOU CAN'T DO SHIT! ALL YOU DO I THINK ! IS JUST SIT DOWN IN YOUR ASS & DISCRIMINATE EVERYONE WHILE YOU CAN'T DO NOTHING AT ALL! SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!

  • @daddyluv123 exactly

    

  • Honestly, ????????????????

  • She really isn't a bad electric player, for her age. But she should probably leave the writing to someone else.

  • Comment removed

  • good at guitar but cant sing.

  • if you hate her voice . Just shut up.. and SING like her? Can't you? ..

  • You guys who write such knowledgeable comments, pick up a guitar and do better. It is so simple. Make a video response.

  • sure she sucks a little but shes great at the guitar.And people, looks arnt everything and hey at least she isnt heavily auto tuned like alot of people these days.

  • OMG, she's an AWFUL singer. Her pitch is wandering all over the place. Also, she needs to stop smiling like a retarded kid.

  • Yea, plays good singing not so good....but still better than I at both

  • come on folks; be easy... I think the problem is in the miking of the guitar and her vocals. miking? Mikeing?... you get my point

  • why do all chick songwriters write the exact same song all the time .... someone show me something original... she's OK but not different from any other Jewel wannabe....

  • The guitar sounds nice but I'm sorry the voice isnt all that....reange is very limited...but still a nice effort kiddo.

  • awesome

    

  • This is awful. The lyrics are awful. Her face is awful. I puked.

    

  • nice guitar sounds great 

  • and no im not a creep or anything im just a deprived 18-year old drummer from Hawaii with a dream to meet Desiree.

  • @damajor357 Nope, not creepy at all.

    btw, your shoes untied.

  • OH MAI GOD!! AND SHES MY AGE!! if there is a god out there please hear my prayers, i would do anything just to meet her and i would give everything to jam with her. beauty, talent, and a great personality!? if only i was lucky enough to marry Desiree i would always let her know how much of a gift to life she really is.

  • @damajor357 ...yeah, that's not one bit creepy.

  • OH MAI GOD!! AND SHES MY AGE!! if there is a god out there please hear my prayers, i would do anything just to meet her and i would give everything to jam with her. beauty, talent, and a great personality!? if only i was lucky enough to marry her i would always let her know how much of a gift to life she really is.

  • you are amazing,, i like you

  • Damn, she sure does smile alot

  • she cant sing

  • @TheNoExeptions At least she hasn't turned on auto tune. I think she's bloody fantastic. Good to see a young-un moving away from shit mainstream, mass produced crap.

  • @GitarStu thats true

  • stop smiling!!!!

  • Horrible singing, but her guitar skills are amazing. Not her fingerpicking tough.

  • Nice song...BUT...get away from LOVE SONGS.

    You are very talented...but falling into the TRAP...LOVE SONGS.

    Every teenager thinks the same.

    Hey! There is a whole world out there to sing about.

    Go see some "Wonders of the World" ans sing song about them

    Humans are the Cancer on this planet..!!

    Use your imagination.!

    Go look at a "Bee-hive"..or " Ants nest"

    Mother nature beats any GOD...!!

    Mickey Marlborough.

  • @michaelgdobie Lay off of the Peyote, buddy.

  • @MichaelJhoan Shut up! No one cares what you think... Do even play an instrument???

  • Although not the best guitarist. Desiree has met so many people in her life already and has been on tv and has released cd's. There is plenty of time to learn more ! Keep blossoming Desiree show those nay sayers your better than that.

  • Very nice Desiree. Always keep writing, the world needs good songs.

    Peace, Slinger

  • @Iamknowntobite Well written!!!!

  • i'm not hating on girl guitarists, but i strongly believe people give them too much credit and say how great they are but in my opinion theyre nothing great at all, they are competant but thats it. I've heard better musicians in talent shows, yet shes on tv because of the publicity a "rare" female guitarist is able to strum smile and sing. its quite disgusting because people that are so much better aren't recognized in this world of instant gratification and "oddities" like female musicians

  • @tomanddantracks i sense your talking about your self stop being jealous if your not getting recognized iys because you suck lol get over it

  • @woodros thank god someone agrees

  • @tomanddantracks - she does more than strum n' smile, but you're right, there are thousands of 17 year old males on YouTube that make her look like a beginner that no-one pays any attention to.

  • @MrFrothinger got any examples of those "thousands" ? Its also called work, it is so obvious that Desi and her family put in a lot of effort and hard work to get her out there, she deserves what she gets.. recognition. Not just from us listeners who like her playing but from the musicians she plays with and like her as well. If Sammy Hagar and other artists were so impressed why would she need to worry about what wanna-B's think?

  • @evromsd - maybe you misunderstood what I was trying to get across here. This 'tomanddantracks' guy was saying she gets too much credit, and is a 'strum n' smile' case.

    I was disagreeing, and saying there was more to her than that, but I still think in the grand scheme of things that she is unremarkable.

  • @MrFrothinger I still want examples of these thousands of people who play better than her. No one can ever come up with ONE video. She is remarkable because she plays rock and she does it well, she ENTERTAINS when she plays. You can be a technically perfect player but that does not mean you can entertain. If she keeps it up she will only get better. If she listens to people like you it should motivate her even more, to see a grown man cry over a little girl with a guitar who can kick his ass.

  • @evromsd - if I find a technically superior guitar player, then you'll say that they don't entertain.

    watch?v=Z4471PvI_3E&feature=ch­annel_video_title - this guy has a better tone and feel

    watch?v=V3wsb2O-Jag - this guy is just better all over

    watch?v=MGnksp7vSaI - this guy has better control

    watch?v=QpI_YpJIPko - this guy is more rhythmically innovative

    Whether they entertain or not, wasn't part of the original debate...

  • @MrFrothinger Entertainment is a big part of it, why do people get hung up on how technically perfect she needs to be, when most of the people who enjoy her playing just like the way she plays and makes you feel. Why would sit through watching your technically better guitarist for a while when they cant entertainment for one minute? You gotta have a little of everything and Desi has it.

  • @evromsd - I spotted your ham fisted attempt to change the parameters of the argument at the beginning of my previous post. I say again - the entertainment factor wasn't part of the original discussion.

    You wanted guitarists who played better - I found you several. There are thousands more.

  • @MrFrothinger My brothers are guitar players, good ones. One thing I know, its one thing to sit on a chair and "shred" and its another to be able to actually play live with band. Desi does it amazingly well, that's where the entertainment factor comes in. You need to have talent to do both. Your videos don't prove a thing other than than those guys can play.

  • @evromsd - again, you're guilty of rank intellectual dishonesty.  Your original ask was that I provide examples of videos in support of my original assertion, which I did. You are still trying to weasel out of the argument by changing the original scope of the discussion.

    My videos prove that those guys play better. I say one final time that the ability to entertain or play with a band was not a point I was originally asserting.

  • @MrFrothinger How about some actual links?

  • @evromsd - as to whether she could kick my ass at guitar, that's a point that I've not even tried to argue. I've been playing thirty years, and I have some ability, but I'm not saying I'm better than her - I'm saying that there are lots of guitarists in here that are.

  • @MrFrothinger there will always be better guitarist. I'm sure you can find some people who prefer one guitarist over another. Just cus you don't think she's all that doesn't mean your gonna convince people who like her to appreciate her talent any less. She does have talent maybe not as much as you would like but she has it. I prefer her playing over technical perfection.

  • @evromsd - that's fine. I think we're now at a place where we can agree. You have expressed a preference for her playing, I have expressed the sentiment that I think she's unremarkable. Shall we leave it there?

    By the way - is that you singing in the video on your channel?

  • @MrFrothinger lol, that is Pat Benatar, one of my favorite singers singing one of my favorite songs. I was just experimenting with uploading.

  • @evromsd - ahhh....Pat Benatar...Love is a Battlefield is in my top five all time faves...

  • @MrFrothinger . Desi and her family are obviously doing something right. Why is it so hard to understand that some people like her? I think Pat Benatar is one of the best singers of all time, but people prefer Britney Spears who is talentless vocally when compared to Pat. But you know, I dont care. Britney has her fans and Pat has hers. Go to Britneys shows if you like her and let me go to Pats. You dont have to put Desi down just cus you like guys guitarist. She has talent period.

  • @evromsd

    - My original assertion: There were thousands of guys out there that no-one paid attention to, she is unremarkable.

    - Your counter: Provide some examples of better guitarists, people never can.

    - I provided videos

    - You tried to weasel out of the argument with the entertainment vs technique discussion

    - I called you on being intellectually dishonest

    - You're now trying to make me out to be a Britney Spears fan??

    *You are now officially boring. Fuck off - I'm done with you.*

  • @MrFrothinger out of those thousands you provided a few links of guys sitting on chair shredding or who are older and play slightly better. For her age and skill AND her ability to entertain, that makes her a better guiatarists to ME.

    I like Pat, some like Britney, YOU like technical perfection. Go see your techy guitarist. You should be the one fucking off and stop coming here to bash Desi. You could be spending thousands of hours watching those thousands of more talented guys.

  • @evromsd Exactly!!! Couldn't have said it better! If you don't like something/one...move on!! Don't bash it! Let's hear you do something like this!!!! Oh,...no?.....you can't?......then shut up!!!! Go Desiree!!

  • @tomanddantracks I respect your opinion......But have you ever heard of Jennifer Batten?

    To a point,i agree the most attractive ones do get more credit thrown thier way.And she has

    her family supporting her,and a father who will probably stomp the crap out of any sleazy

    producer or AR guy trying to make a pass at her.In a odd way,that has probably slowed her

    career.

  • @tomanddantracks i'll agree to your statement

  • @tomanddantracks Your a fucking idiot. She can outplay your dumb fucking ass any day of the week. Let's see a video of yourself playing anything.

  • @tomanddantracks its also her choice of music, most male guitarists seem to play crap music or "shred" while sitting. Desi chooses the kind of music I LIKE and she plays it the way I LIKE. If you don't like her you don't have to come here just to bash her, you can always go see the thousands of male guitarists who are better. If you did that you wouldn't have time to come see Desi here and put her down.

  • If you wanna see a real female guitarists, check out Sandra Bae!!! YouTube name, mssandrabae

  • she's a talented guitarist. But that doesn't translate into a good singer or songwriter all of the time

  • jaja bien feita!!

  • thats is NOT rock and roll.

  • @LewisxChannel who told you so?

  • @LewisxChannel

    Hi! You should check out this one; /watch?v=s0x9HAFcvG0&feature=B­Fa&list=PL789A98EBBAD3B0E8&ind­ex=3

  • why does it bother me sooooooo much when kids preform with a plastered on smile. at least act like your concentrating, the smile is just too much it makes her look soooo full or herself when thier are far better musicians her age and gender who are completely unheard of.

  • Comment removed

  • @gibbie31 LOL your gay, she's smiling because she like's music, oh ya I went to your profile, and you favourited beener kee kee, so I doubt your in ANY position to judge anyone musically. Go watch more lip synching faggot

  • @ZackAugustus wow your stupid. i respect that lip synching guy because he puts himself out there and does funny shit mocking the horrible music on the radio today that your bitch ass probly listens to. i dont actually watch his videos i just support his channel. and i preform too, i just do it modestly and only smile at the end when i walk off stage and people tell me good job. so how bout you find something better to do than lurking peoples youtube pages and cry like a little girl about it.

  • @gibbie31 lol funny, because I hate the radio I listen to progressive metal, not pop music like you, you say he mocks it? no, he loves that shit just like you... you rip on someone for smiling wow.. what's your problem

  • @ZackAugustus dude pop? you couldnt be more wrong. i play guitar. i listen to classic rock. if theres anyone in the world who hates pop. its me. you fuckin idiot haha

  • She's great, period!

  • the high gain kinda ruined the good sound, but it sweet! twangy sounding!

  • She's freat..give her time and she'll be fabulous! Way to go girl! ;-)

  • She was just getting into singing. Who else can write a song, play it ,sing it, and all on nationwide tv. Keep playin with your rc cars

  • She plays extremely well, but should stick to playing and not singing. No bashing intended, her voice is pitchy and weak, but her fingers pluck the hell outta them strings!!! Keep on playing girl, you could be very famous someday

  • wow, beautiful song and fingerpicking, you're very blessed .

  • What the Fuck is this SHIT

  • @JerryChangTV Jerry Chang = Hairy Wang

  • @JerryChangTV GTFO DUMBASS ;)

  • Honestly, she can rip some guitar up. She can sing, but I would stick to the shredding, if I was her.

  • @Codykisnumber1 No worse than Taylor swift!

  • @justwee2oo That's implied.

  • @Codykisnumber1 I dont agree 100%, although I do agree that the singing is not the greatest, she is still learning. How many current pop singer sing live? Just as she learned how to master the guitar she can master singing, she puts 100 percent into what she does musically. I think she could one day be a good rock singer and player, she just needs to learn and find her style. I'd love to see her get singing lessons from Ann Wilson and Pat Benatar, That would turn this girl into a rock goddess.

  • @evromsd she has not mastered the guitar. i dont think many musicians ever master their instruments, that is to say they have no flaws in technique and there is nothing they need to learn. to master something means you have acquired complete knowledge or skill, that is not what this is at all.

  • @woodros Why can't we just enjoy the show?!? - It's marketable original music - Why complain?

  • @woodros Maybe technically she hasn't mastered the guitar, I think its better said that she is on her way if she keeps it up. I know its a blow to a guys ego seeing a little girl do something a grown man could never accomplish but you don't have to be so bitter about it. LOL

  • Comment removed

  • i play almost just as well and i have only been playing for a year

  • @niemaya i've heard you play and you truly suck!

  • @miracledrug5150 do YOU even KNOW how to play guitar? being so smart out there...

  • I really don't find her very good at all but good on her for following her dream

  • Desiree, don't disable comments on your other posts, you will only have good comments left for you.

    .

    Nice work btw.

  • Amazing!!!! Thank for your talent!

  • unfortunately this song does not showcase her talent. she can do so much more!

  • decent voice and composing but the guitar tone kills it for me. Sounds like a walmart guitar. That poor taylor guitar :(

  • Fuck all these child prodigies. They are soo overrated. Anybody can pick up a guitar and learn to play fast. It takes talent to make your own music and sound good.. Fml

  • @Jessemays313 i know theres so many good ppl all it is, is practice :)

  • well done you are an inspiration to many of us, thank for sharing your music

  • 2:12 shift to pick so smooth lololoooooooooooooolz omg.

  • really good! and she's cute!

  • I always wanted to learn how to play a guitar

  • 0:01

  • beautiful.......not just the scab i picked the music waS PHENONM...........DONT RIDE THE PLANE, TAKE THE BUS .......DONT AST WHY,,.........WE NEED YOU TO HANG AROUND.... AND MELT THE PLASTIC FIGURINES AND LUNCH BOXES

  • my pick!!!

  • are we kidding?

  • The tone on that guitar starting at 3:24 made me want to kill myself. seriously. Worst sounding guitar ever.

    somebody tell her to stick to electric.

  • She started playing at three?

  • where's the power outage?? anyone??..lets go to commercial now!!

  • @ozzie71 what an idiot back to your closet ozzy

  • u got the most expensive Taylor guitar, but it didnt sound as i expected to.. could have been better if u had it unplugged. the song, hmm, not very interesting, but all i can say, u are a great talent, i just hope u will learn to pick good pop kinda melody...

  • @yamaha4759 Yea....looks like she got it plugged into a peavey valveking electric guitar amp...lol..could be the cause of the bad sound....Use Acoustic Amps Desiree!!

  • pero esta cantando una cancion triste!! y sonrie!! jajajajjajjajja

  • there goes justin bieber's popularity!

  • A little out of tone, but could be worse i guess:)

  • My god i watched this girl grow up on youtube.....! She never stops to amaze me...!

  • She's got the right guitar!.....Taylor Rocks

  • I think it might be her amp settings, but she doesn't sound as amazing as she did on electric. I'm not biased to electric guitar, if you're wondering, I'm actually a fingerstyle guitarist, but I play in a rock band as well.

  • She's a gutirrist, not a singer

  • cute dimple! ^_^

  • she really enjoys what she does, well done!

  • Bravo!

  • fuck you lady gaga

  • Sorry, but i think she should stick to electric. ahah but you can see shes loving it anyways :)

  • press 1 for english

  • Is she Native?

    Looks like she has some aborigine background.
