  • I am an ex rock guitar god and im tellin all you fuckheads that this little girl rocks,women dont have the same strength in there hands as men do,but she uses her intelect and her uncanny musical ability to level the playing field,i could not more impressed with this young woman, if i saw her walking down the street i would bow at her feet,you just keep bendin them strings little girl,and you just might end up in the history books

  • The most important she has a lot of fun!

    

  • 3-13-2012 charlotte,nc. ill be there!!!  dbassett.com for info.

  • Comment removed

  • whut about Foxxy Lady ?...haha that must be YOU!!! Fabulous performance...I wish i could be there !!!...from INDIA ....saludos

  • Euopra !!! Will anything be left of the Americas? ....she has just torn Hendrix apart !!! Who else is left ??? Ms FOXY LADY !!! saludo.....NK from INDIA

  • For all of you wid tha negative comments... i can see on tha sidebar she has played along side 3 notable musicians...can you claim the same?

  • Pretty amateur solo... what good is any other shit if you have no rhythm or feel? Thanks for train wrecking the solo with some tapping after u were heading no where with the pentatonic licks. It annoys me to find that there are better youtube guitar players that get LESS THAN HALF the notoriety this broad does. trolled.

  • @fatsism i agree there are alot of guitarist that don't get the notoriety they deserve but this is when she was 14 years old. and she's a girl. you don't see that many 14 year olds that can play well. let alone females. and anyway she's way better now than she was in this video.

  • Glad to hear she is a Hendrix fan. Keep the guitar alive girl! Awesome!

  • wow what a wife....... :-)

  • Its not about being fast,She is very good but if you want to play the blues well words said from Hendrix "blues is easy to play but hard to feel"And she do'nt have that feel.

  • @kristerracino I agree...but earlier comments I have made to that effect have not been well received!

  • Wow. She's really good. I've seen her play in the style of other soloists, too. She's so talented. And damned cute in this one!

  • Legal, consegui viver o bastante para ver o nascimento de um roqueiro (a) desta qualidade. Pensei que já haviam acabado os Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Slash, Gilmour, Santana e outros do mesmo nível. Longa vida para Desiree !!!

  • Great job little Lady. Keep up the great work!!!...Larry Pace...Arkansas.

  • Awesome girl!!!! I have always wanted to learn to play! Do you mind channeling some of you incredible talent my way???????????

  • Metronome. Purchase one.

  • LOL, come on dude, LOL though.

  • The show must go on!

  • holy shit kid jimmy is looking down and smiling his ass off.

  • you. are. my. hero.

  • Gee I wonder if this was a guy if the LIKE BAR WOULD BE A LOT LOWER.

  • i have see hendrix ,that girl play the guitar just him

  • @b2kessler

    "i have seen hendrix , that girl play the guitar just him"

    if you think that's true you somehow SAW Hendrix but didn't seem to HEAR him.

  • impressive she has hendrix rhythm

  • whow it´s good jimi hendrix and she play together , i think he see you play and like it

  • Keep it up girl!--just the fact that she is playing this type of music at her age is SO cool--and she SMOKES on that guitar! If she strengthens her voice, she'll be a STAR in no time...15? COME ON! That is TALENT!

  • thats true one of the few reasons i dont like hangin out with girls is their taste in what they call music this girl is my kind

  • wow! she is talented! nice to see and hear if you want to hear that old bastards can still play check out my favorite band Rush CARAVAN

  • Why be so negative give the youngster some credit for one she's into hendrix thats awesome in itself but to play it and not to bad i must say yu have to give it up to her

  • Lacking of feeling, lack of vibrato, all these kids with sweeps and acting like the guitar is a piano.

    "the blues is easy to play, but hard to feel" -hendrix-

  • @bzcrouse92

    I'm afraid I have to agree- yes it's technically very good- and yes she is amazing for her age, but damn- slow down and let's hear the notes!

  • You got it goin on !!!

  • I have been playing bass for 33 years, and I have played and seen some amazing guitarists in my day, but you Desiree are one in a million, not only do you play well, and you obviously are dedicated to your craft, but you enjoy yourself while doing it. Keep rocking Desiree, you are doing it right!

  • Why? Why can't more girls be like this? Do you know what most girls her age listen to? This girl is Jamming Hendrix. Rock on Desiree.

  • You're actually pretty good(: keep it up

  • ateschner ;)

  • thats rock and roll

  • she needs to stick to playing guitar...

  • we were born on exactly same day.and we both r musicians..but im not good as she is on guitar.

  • Comment removed

  • this ugly girl ruined it. No wonder girls can't play guitar.

  • @DannyGloverIsAwesome Oh really, so you are better dipshit?! She is really not bad, and has talent and the bad quality of the video does not really bring out her full potential. There are other videos with her videos in it, that are really awesome, you happen to choose one of the vids that are not so great. But pls don't say girls cannot play, she's really great otherwise she would not have been allowed to play live with some rock legends. Do you even play the guitar?...

  • @marein242 What is with you, little boy. Are you jaleous ??? Show everybody how good you are...............instead of bullshitting.

  • her technique looks so bad but sounds good

  • YOUR AWESOME KIDDO

  • i don't care what anyone says about this performance, i love it. i wish i could drum for her. then marry her. BE MINE DESIREE!! KEEP ROCKIN!!

  • great guitar play... poor singing...

  • If you want to say you can do better...THEN PUT A VIDEO UP THAT "SHOWS" YOU doing it. Hang on...I'm not seeing it yet.  Jealous pricks.

  • 2:42 WAT DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­!!! <3

  • HeadCase21 haha funny kid , not everyone gets noticed thats the world of music and look at all the crap around you thats on the charts , ps dosnt mean its talent ;)

  • wow she has like absolutely no sense of phrasing

  • spanky5656 nothings stopping me i just dont feel the need to tell everyone who i am

  • Phenomenal! Anyone who says otherwise is out of their mind... The main thing that sets you apart is that you seem to really love it. Never loose that.

  • rihoodlum no i don't but i don't see why i couldn't , all it would take is for me to go on it and make an entry about myself and i would have one .

  • @marein242 Go ahead, what's stopping you?

  • good guitar player. wish she wouldnt sing.

  • this is amazing , however ive never felt so sick of youtube haters.

  • DesireeBassett that's because i don't use this channel for my uploads i use this one for comments so i don't get spammed on my real channel , plus i specifically put 'im not being tight' , its not like im trolling on your channel its called free speech better get used to it because its legal , and by you trying start an argument with me over a comment proves how much of an ego you have.

  • Awesome!

  • not clean sound she have...she must work so so hard...

  • 2:57 mins knocked me on my butt!!!

  • @marein242 thats pretty lame coming from a guy who has no music video uploads on his page !!

  • @DesireeBassett Having videos uploaded doesn't proves that you're better than anyone. At all.

  • @DesireeBassett Well I'm 64 years old and have been an electric guitar fan since I was 12 years old and I say you are EXCELLENT!!! Lots of feeling and hot chops. I think Jimi would be pleased. He would probably like it better if you were using a Strat rather than..is it a Washburn? But it is a good sounding guitar. There are not many girls who play hot electric guitar. I saw the original Allman Brothers over 30 times, was hooked on them. Saw Hendrix open for the Monkey's in 1968 in Greensboro.

  • @DesireeBassett One of the best Jimi Hendrix covers is by the late Gary Moore who died this past Feburary. Type in "Gary Moore Red House" in the search box. I think your cover is close to what Hendrix sounded like as I can remember seeing Hendrix in the late 60's and he was fantastic. You and Gary Moore may even be a bit faster running some of the notes than Jimi was. Moore is using an old Fender Strat on Red House. You are a great player young lady. It is nice to know about your playing!!!

  • @DesireeBassett 

    music is not about beeing tight....music is emotion.If you want tight play a synthesizer.She feels her music....she is her music.

    just becoz you're #1 with guitarhero doesnt mean you can play.

  • @marein242 Ignore him/her Desiree, haters come a dime a dozen. It's harder to write about something you found that you really like. He or she will just have to learn that the hard way, I predict around age 15 1/2 or so... :P

  • @marein242 but do you have a page on Wikipedia?????????

  • @marein242 thank god some one else sees that

  • @marein242 Air Guitar and Guitar Hero don't count, lame-oid. There is more talent in a PICTURE of Desiree than your sorry ass will ever have. Ms Bassett, thank you for the music. In the future women will pick up the guitar because YOU inspired them.

  • @marein242 It's pretty funny to see that considering I don't you believe you or your 5 "mates" are recognized child prodigies or have played with many famous musicians.

  • @marein242 put up or shut up you moron...yeah you're better...in your bedroom in front of the mirror...your this age and bitchin'? Grow up and get into life and be positive like she is and not a self obsessed moron like you sound...considering how hard it is for women to break into rock I think she's doing great... and will be way better than you'll ever be...it's about enjoyment, which she shows in spades, no some wanking competition like you and your mates get into...

  • @marein242 Prove it.....trash talker.

  • @marein242 Put up or shut up. Let's see the goods!!!

  • @marein242 same with me man! im 14 aswell she cant sing ether haha

  • She has nothing on Eric Gales of the Eric Gales band. He was 17 when he and his band first debuted in 1991.

  • All I can say is,"Damn!" You killed it! \m/ROCK ON \m/

  • wish i could play purple haze that good

  • not used to seeing someone smile like that while killing it on the guitar. she is amazing and loving what she is doing!!! That is what makes it more amazing!!!

  • yup youtube will make you famous!!! good job by the way thisgirl is awesome now check her out in 10 years she'll be deadly

  • Very nicely done. Did someone complain about her smiling? God forbid she enjoy using her gifts! Keep jamming Desiree. It's good to see our kids appreciate the classics. You inspire us old rockers.

  • hate it she doesnt even play it properly and she cant sing

  • @hendrix7755 can you play it better than she?

  • @redsoxsroxs3 well i am 13 and yes

  • @hendrix7755 ohhh really? and did i ask you your age? if you can play it as well a you say why you dont upload a video playing it?

  • @redsoxsroxs3 I have trouble uploading and I dont need your permision to say my age am working on uploading it but i dont want to fight just saying my opinion it dosnt mater just end it here !

  • She wouldnt get half the hate if she was a boy.

  • WOW!!!!

  • you r a god of the guitar... u r ... perfection

  • wow.....

  • 1:32 power slide!

  • not bad not bad at all

  • Very impressive. But I was a little disappointed that you didn't light your guitar on fire at the end.

  • Little over the top on distortion but still Absolutely perfect. U would have made Hendrix proud.

  • You are awesome nuff said lol subscribed!:D

  • LOVE TO HEAR ALL THE ARMCHAIR GUITARISTS Talking Crap. LOL> This girl at 15 has more talent than all you know nothing critics put together. LOL> Can NOT WAIT to see how she makes out, as I am sure you will hear much more from her in the future. Also for those of you who are talking crap about her singing....... Have you ever listened to Jimmy Hendrix Sing. LOL> He was TERRIBLE. And Hendrix was the first to admit it. LOL> He Couldn't understand why people would come to hear him sing.....

  • @smccray01 calm yourself child LOL>

  • wow....blown away.

  • now this is how rock should be played: with skill and FEELING ...living through the music, not just standing there picking note after another like too many guitarists do nowadays

  • Wow, this and "all along the watchtower" at the "Daffodil Festival" are super special. Can't stop the next Generation... Keep Smilin'. Peace and Love!

  • "...scuse me while i kiss this girl "

    I saw some of her videos but this one is PURE ROCK PERFORMANCE.

    I thought that Jimi was playing through her fingers and singing through her voice.

    I never heard such a cover in my life and trust me i've heard many !!!

    Hey little Queenie...keep on with what you are doing.

    Don't let anyone bring you down.

    You don't have a gift...YOU are the gift !!!

    Thank you for living and playing out there.

  • really good guitar skills, stick to it. but dont sing. its not your talent. plus, lay off the gay smiles, it ruins it.

  • @Rafreakydeeky she can fuckin smile if she wants to asshole, besides she obviously has more talent than you ever will....so fuck off if you dont like it

  • @Quicksand289 lol she obviously has more skills than i do. i even said she has good guitar skills. but the smiles ruin it for me, its my opinion and ill state it if i want to.

  • really good guitar skills, stick to it. but dont sing. its not your talent.

  • did i just shit myself?1:48

  • Marry me?

  • I'd sell my mother to be able to play like that.

  • @llazy1 How much?

  • @llazy1 hahahaha! thats hilarious

    

  • I`m 44 years old, I was 4 when Jimi died so I don`t remember him in the flesh, but grew up on him and the music of that era and soul music of Philly, Motown and NYC,also on the discotheques in NY/NJ/CT/LI and watching DJ Grandmaster Flash spinning/scratching records in the parks of the BoogieDownBronx and watching the breakers and poplockers on cardboards on every sidewalk in NYC to watching it come alive 24/7 on my cable TV to hip-hop becoming the most popular and seeing black prez/rock protege

  • @kimmedavid not knowing that this Song was written by Bob Dylan and making stupid comments...priceless

  • @Napierala wtf? This is purple haze it was written by hendrix in 1966 and recorded in 1967! the song bob dylan wrote and hendrix covered where , "all along the watchtower " and "Like a rolling stone" , not knowing about this song that hendrix written it and making stupid comments , priceless

  • DAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNNN!!!!!

  • Uncle Bryan must be so very proud, a new generation with a common goal, the love of music, bravo, see ya in Denver someday.

  • super muzyka,super dziewczyna-graj dalej i przyjedz do Polski

  • I like how you're a classic rock kinda girl, but I think you could have a lot more fun playing underground styles like prog-rock or screamo or something. That's just the stuff I'm into so yea. Oh and I would love you if you did a cover of a song called Chapter 3: Nostalgic Mannerisms by The Fall of Troy. Omg you have to look that band up, if you could play like their lead guitarist vocalist and be all beast mode like him, instant ticket to heaven. lol

  • The practice you must have done to get to this level has got to be hundreds of hours. Well Done!

  • shredding and tapping in a hendrix song = Epic fail

  • awsome

  • OmG girl your awesome !!

  • awesome!..im your fan girl!

  • finally someone to bring rock back to this century of rap and hiphop crap

  • I think Jimi is smiling right now :-) Never stop playing girl, you're too good :-)

  • Beautiful. Go girl!

  • WOW< !! Man, Rock is not dead if this girl keeps this up ! Hate that f---in N----r shit rap !

  • WUNDERBAR

  • WUNDERBAR.

  • solo sucked......totally spazstic..........just relax and play, it'll sound better.

  • I got some Purple Haze that would probably make you rock this song twice as loud lol

    Then again its probably better to stay sober, since drugs have killed off the last couple generations of Rock N Roll fans/artists already.

  • Desiree, please listen to the opening riff and the the same one after the solo carefully. You have a couple notes wrong. You are doing great but I would love to hear a little more emotion in those notes and do not worry about playing fast girl!

  • Holy hell girl, yer the rock n roll christ. Save the world from bleedin MTV-crap!! Countin on ya to stay pure, live large and never back down :)

  • Count me in!

  • cool!!!

  • Wish You all the Best and a lot of Success,from Switzerland

    My Compliment :-) we like it all here

  • Comment removed

  • @thedoctor10able, man you are such a knob,i checked out the uploads of you doing better,oh look as i thought,there are none,jog back quietly to the sideline theres a good chap!

  • man this kid is so average yet i hear everyone talking about her like god.guess it doesnt take much to be a youtube star

  • @thedoctor10able YEA MAN I AGREE WITH GSXR7NUT.U ARE A KNOB.DONT GIV SHIT ABOUT PROPER TALENT AND NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY AN AMAZING VERSION OF COMFORTABLY NUMB LET ALONE HAVE A FUCKIN VIDEO UP.GO AND TRY TO LEARN A FEW STARTER CHORDS LIKE G,A AND E .COS U DONT HAV A CLUE MAN!!

  • @DublinTedNo1 YEAH, BUT I BET YOU WISH YOU COULD PLAY AS GOOD AS HER. DON'T HATE CLOWN.....

  • love it you go girl!

  • she hasnt got the jimmi hendrix G or A chord right

  • Hey Jimi, u cum bak as a girl now!?

    Choice!

  • Love it, keep rocking lil shredder chic.

  • IMHO her lead playing is far too mechanical, it doesn't have the real Hendrix feel to it, and her rhythm playing seems very garbled and inconsistent.

  • WTF? 'Jamie' Hendrix? AWESOME!

  • how genuinely refreshing! could it be that real talent is making a comeback? amen to that

  • She's mastered the guitar, but her voice has no 'presence.'

  • you are amazing!!!

  • she obviously has talent. but she is a mix between robitic and sloppy. she obviously learned everything note for note but theres no realy emotion. but its still somehow sloppy. but for 15 incredible. she needs a singer for time machine and not her lol

  • Word.

  • gotta love a girl who can play jimi like jimi could. ;)

  • Rickwicz you're out of your mind. This girl can rock! If she's this talented now at such a young age, I can only image the greatness when she's older. Leave the girl alone you jealous fool!

  • A few wrong notes on the intro... and then it continued to go downhill from there.

  • @rickwicz I'd like to see you show the enthusiasm she puts into playing or even 1/3 for that matter.

  • @ac1dcs Enthusiasm does NOT equal great music. If you know anything about guitar playing, you would see this girl being compared to Hendrix is nothing but laughable.

    The only reason this girl is getting ANY attention is because she's a cute (?) young girl who's a whore-like self-promoter. There are TONS of better players within spitting distance of me.

    Get her to turn the distortion off and you'll hear what a horrible player she is. And anyone can copy a song. Can she write a good one? Doubt it.

  • @rickwicz yeah sure , that why Jimi Hendrix's original percussionist is playing on my next CD . This Rickw is a troll, who thinks he knows something about music.....go back to pounding sand dude cause you ain't got a clue.

  • @rickwicz If you have any real talent yould recognize talent in her. But what its sounds like is sour grapes from someone who is probably at their height, an unknown and uninteresting guitar player. Desi is wonderful talent and she doesnt have to waste throwing ice cubes at you if you were on fire. Folks on here know what awesome talent is and they know when wannabies are envious. Professionals dont need to write putdowns to teens or those who enjoy her.

  • ur amazing! how long have been play guitar????

  • Waaw, ai mucho talento ahi eh!!

  • Did u teach this to Jimi?

  • if anyone ever fucking compares this to jimi hendrix they need to be shot, for they know nothing of how the man played or what he played. Maybe go listen to some stevie ray vaughan, if anyone was ever the reincarnation it was that MAN

  • @Haytearah stevie ray vaughan SUCKS.. this girl is no Jimi but definitly better then stevie gay

  • @burningandlooting Ahahaha thank you for showing that you know nothing of musical talent

  • @Haytearah Ahahaha. You're welcome. as long as i don't have to listen to Stevie Ray Faggot
