  • girl can play like you read about

  • It's a joke trying to cover this tune. Once Hendrix played with his teeth and behind his back, and burned his guitar, what the fuck else is there?

  • damn straight

  • Damn......didnt see that coming.

  • Orgasmic faces of guitarists fit so much better such a pretty female one.

  • I'm old and I saw JH live 3 times. This girl is good, but.............she's not going to make anyone forget about JH. And don't forget that he developed all of the eerie and freaky sounds with minimal--read his own ingenuity--not a bunch of manufactured copies of his sound.

    SRV came close, but again there was only one JH

  • @uzj100 lol people know that anyway

  • Her tone makes dead jimi sad.

  • just glad to see her doing something besides some of her earlier pop stuff, she is a really great guitarist

  • hey billyfag hendrix is dead dumbass. maybe u should just stop what u r doin an start knitting potholders what i think shes better an yes she looks alot better too.

  • SHE CAN PLAY, BUT , FROM THE LESS IS MORE SCHOOL , PLEASE CHECK OUT KARA GRAINGER ,AND HER TAKE ON, FIRE ON THE BAYOU, I THINK A NEVILLE BROS. SONG.

  • Very cool ! I like this performance !

  • She did the same thing I seen G3 and Yngwie do with this tune, forget the 2nd verse and/or breaking down to a soft section. a lesson the best shredders can remember, dynamics

  • kereeeeeen by indonesia

  • you guys are both idiots

  • The guitar is fuckin bleeding

  • Wish i could play like her.

  • This is Her version, done her way. What do you all want. Would u prefer her lip sync to Jimi's Cd. I'm not a huge fan or nothin I'm just sayin...

  • Bad performance, bad voice sometime out of tune, too much noise, very little JH blues touch!

    What else ?

    Ohh , forgive me .... "She's a nice chick" !

  • 3:00 nice SRV reference

  • OK. So who can name the legendary female guitarist Hendrix's drummer formed a band with in the early 70s?

  • I couldnt even tell that this was voodoo chile til the band kicked in then it still does not sound even like a cover with your own flare this is bad.

  • She sounds good, she looks good, nd she's jst a kid. Imagine how good she'll be playing when she is like 30. I wish I could play like this. I wish I could play anything

  • who gives a shit if she's "shredding" a Hendrix song?? Im Betting 99% of you guys have NEVER SEEN HENDRIX LIVE. Who's to say he didnt do something similar live??

    Fuck, get over it ...Bottom line, she's up there and you aren't, thats what MOST of this is all  about.Fucking jealousy ...

  • i bet steve vai fingered this girl one night...

  • nice up m8 bravo Orianthi !!!!...¸¸.¤°´¯`°{° Ouzotime is anytime °}°´¯`°¤.¸¸...

  • One BADD CHIC on the guitar.........

  • I'd like to finger her frets

  • yo rock girl! keep it up! ;)

  • There are probably 1000's of kids here on youtube who could murder a Hendrix song with 'shred' as well or better than this bint. Playing fast with way too much distortion and delay isn't really very skillfull. This is awful over the top fret wanking. If Hendrix had sounded like this, he wouldn't be the iconic star he is today.

    I hate to say this as its ever so slightly sexist, but if she was fat and ugly, lets face it, the likes of Joe Satriani and Steve Vai would have her on stage with them.

  • @TheDarrenfleming If Hendrix had sounded like this, he wouldn't be the iconic star he is today? You seriously believe that?

    If Hendrix had sounded like this he'd not only still be as iconic, but he would have been further ahead of his time than he already was. She was throwing in Jimi, SRV, Van Halen, and Vai influences. Besides, Jimi was known for his guitar wankage as much as anyone. Just be happy this girl picked up a guitar instead of a boom mic and stupid dance moves.

  • @TheDarrenfleming

    no way... she is an amazing player. steve vai discovered her. so what. zappa discovered vai, but he would make it anyway with or without zappa

  • @TheDarrenfleming

    and ur video is where?

  • She is phenomenal, lots of emotion packed in that tiny frame. I used to buy Hendrix 45's, loved him, this girl is the real deal. She just needs to stop playing that pop crap the industry is promoting and let her self go nuts. Love the red sneakers! :)

  • Comment removed

  • way too much gain......

  • For people who are saying Shit Jimi Hendrix was always out of tune and for people who don't know Jimi Hendrix was the best Guitar Player ever but he didn't know how to tune his Guitar and that's true no joke

    I like Jimmy Page, Slash, B.B King, Joe Perry and others better then this but she is amazing

  • She can definitely play, amp settings aside, WOW!

  • I've never seen her before tonite. She is pretty good. She puts on a good show. I'd go see her if she came to Chicago.

  • comentem o que quiser ! todos tem livre expressão e musica é isso é tocar oque sente , não acho que ficou ruim . a qualidade final do som é pessoal é gosto de cada um ! ela tem o dela eu tenho o meu se eu foce tocar essa musica teria mais efeito pois eu gosto disso se essa mina tocou com MICHAEL com VAI ,Satriane ,ela não precisa provar nada mais pra ninguem e eu não sou fã do som dela RSSSSSSSSSSS mas tiro o chapel 

  • yes there were moments, where she was a little out of tune, listen to every live version Hendrix did and tell me he was in tune, he was always out of tune, as great as he was he played some bad notes and his guitar was out of tune. and I am sure she could do that on a strat also.this is coming from someone who isnt even a fan of orianthi

  • @Jasonguitar73 who cares if the cover is good or not , you only are musically relevant if you make ground breaking music like layla , sultans of swing , all along the watchtower,etc .. can you tell me one song of her that is groundbreaking in the history of music , if she doesnt have good music of her own , she aint nobody

  • @guitarboy12123 Who's paying you to slam her? How jealous are you? Do you realize that the songs you just noted are at minimum 30 years old? So in YOUR OPINION, nothing is relevant these days. Funny enough; the great guitarists that have played with her absolutely love her TALENT, not just becuase she's a chick. You must know so much more than all of these other rich, famous, and great guitarists. Please let us know where your playing...I've got to come see you and be amazed.

  • @Rightwingwac i'm absolutely not better than her, off course she is thousand times more talented than me , i'm just saying she doesn't compete with clapton, frusciante ,peter green ,hendrix, knopfler ,page; slash,gilmour,buckingham ,mayer ,trucks;albert;bbking;srv, and the list goes on.Maybe she is technically better " by shredding". But if I ask to a non musician , if they know a song of her , they say no , if i ask they know a song of the previous guitarists , they say yes

  • @guitarboy12123 you know why ,because they made songs that were groundbreaking , by making beatiful songs they become musically relevant. And yes there is relevant music nowadays much better than orianthi , but i give her the benifit of the doubt, because she is at the beginning point of her career, so maybe she will make groundbreaking music or maybe not. Thats my opinion. I'm fucking tired to start a discussion,cuz we will never agree , so fock off I even wasn't talking to you no life

  • VAL-GUEM DEU! QUINA CANYA!!!!

  • Honest to God the jealousy and putting yourselves on pedestals in these comments are a fucking joke...like you. I'm sure all you guys are wayyyy better than she is and you just haven't gotten a break or maybe you didn't want to make it in music. You guys need to spend more time practicing and less time slamming people that have done well for good reasons. I'm sure you're way better than Carlos or Neil Schon too. "Gimmicks more than skill"...what a dick!

  • flat

  • out of tune! DAMN!

  • she is bass ass cant take anything away from her shebsmooth

  • She`s great!

  • Yeah 5150 rules!

    

  • id give her my wammy bar

  • @darksorcerermusic id let her "touch" my wammy bar :D

  • i wish i was that guitar at 4:30 - 4:40 ...

  • PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAA

    ME ENCANTA!!!! LA AMO!!

    I LOVE!

  • Are there any videos of Orianthi playing without fifteen layers of saturated distortion that make every note hit your ears like a mack truck? Not a dig, I'm genuinely interested in hearing her play clean guitar.

  • I dont's see any cable. Or is this the new wireless way of transmitting the signal?

  • @Abelardinio its there, look closely around 2:16

  • @Abelardinio it's an L-shaped plug that goes from the guitar chord slot to a wireless transmitter they wear on their guitar strap, seen at 3:00

  • @jquikshot Thank you! Haven't heard about that. Give me please any article of this technology if not difficult=)

  • not a fan of the intro, but she did amazing with verses

  • un ejemplo wn... idola!

  • โอ้วววววววววแม่เจ้า เธอสุดยอดเจงๆ

  • Eh, not that great. Sorry folks, I am totally open to female guitar players, but she is overrated. Jennifer Batten is so much better than her, not even funny.

  • Wow!

  • Amazing , I wish I had her  talent !

  • define amazing? a myriad of basic pentatonics licks over the key of E with a brief stint into minor or aeolian? Im gonna go back to guthrie govan and greg howe videos. THOSE are amazing guitarists. snore

  • @clintusmaximus Yes that is a good idea. I'd rather watch bearded men too. I mean really where's the appeal?

  • @H223Tommy bearded or not i would rather watch someone who is talented. Someone based on their performance not thier looks. I can obviously see im wading in shallow waters so i wont attempt to explain anymore. Somehow I dont think it would do any good

  • @clintusmaximus lols. So true. I'm such a neanderthal. Should say, i met guthrie - he taught at my music college. I reckon he'd say she was more than a "myriad of pentatonics licks". For starters she clearly plays with a wealth of feeling and sincerity. Something you won't get from watching guthers vids.

  • @H223Tommy well I met the zappa before he died and when I was having dinner at steve vai's house he told me Guthrie was a fag and Orianthi was less talented than dave weiner. Oh wait its the internet, we can all make shit up. Yeah, um....your full of shit. I didnt see it. didnt happen. Have fun in fantasy land. She still sucks. buh bye

  • @clintusmaximus Well i'm not, it's the BIMM in brighton. I can even show you my certificate : ). But i think this internet debate has gone on long enough. Buh bye. P.s steve vai's house is lovely isn't it?

  • @H223Tommy if you have been to his house i will secretly hate you forever lol

  • @H223Tommy PS i think Jess Lewis blows Orianthi away

  • @clintusmaximus lol no that was a lie. Never heard of jess lewis before. Pretty amazing. I'd agree technically she's definitely better. But I admire Orianthi for her skills as a performer as well.

  • @clintusmaximus Who gives a shit? Go stare at Jess Lewis videos and jerk off. Why are you wasting your time watching someone you don't like?

  • @Rightwingwac oh man, i lobe the internet tough guys, come on lets have some more QQ. Lets hear some more nerd rage through anonymity. Im pretty sure im free to do whatever the fuck i want Rightwing cock bite. I want some uber nerd rage, lets have it!

  • @clintusmaximus yeah buddy nerd rage

  • @clintusmaximus You make me laugh. Anonymity? That's pretty good considering how many facts there are about you on your page. Nerd rage? That's good too and then the badass name calling with the "I can do whatever the fuck I want" juvenile shout. Here's your nerd rage. Every comment you make is a slam, you must be awesome! Even your comment about Mangini and Portnoy. Dude, you must be the shit! You seem to be the expert in everything and your opinions or at least...cont

  • @clintusmaximus 2nd part. the way you express your opinions tell me that you are about 15 and are under the impression that your opinion is the only opinion. You're cool dude, I really wish I could be more like you and less of the "nerd" I am. (that cracks me up). When you're immense talent is spotlighted one day please let me know so I can be amazed and learn from the God that you think you are. From your response I think I found a nice little corner to hang out in your head.

  • @Rightwingwac @Rightwingwac Nice, quite the two part nerd rage compilation there. And yes, I am superior to you. Now, lets see if I get volumes 3 & 4 of the rightwing wacky nerd rage compilation.

  • @clintusmaximus Again, 15 years old? Maybe 17? Your arguments suck dude! I'm assuming they reflect your mentality. Come on pussy, put your talent superiority up where everyone can see it. It's okay, I know you wont, because you have nothing to offer. You're a total joke! Anyone who looks at your your profile posts will see that. You're the simplest form of wanker on the web. I'll just wander around in your tiny talentless brain for a bit longer until I get bored....okay I'm bored

  • @Rightwingwac YAY more rage! You are seriously a complete loser who doesnt even know when hes being played and mocked. Come on you world wide troglodite, lets have some more of that narcisistic, self rightcheous psycho babble typical of some internet mental midget. I cant wait for the reply to this. Come on buddy, i got the carrot on the the end of stick??? Rage.......rising.......come you idiot lmao

  • @clintusmaximus You are so easy to fuck with it's almost no fun. Hey pussy, show us all the talent! You can't because you don't have any and everyone that checks out your posts will see what a douche bag you are. You're "nerd rage" rants are a nice little diversion but you still don't put it up. You have no way of defending yourself because if you were worth a shit you'd be putting it in our face and then I'd have nothing left to say. Okay time to cry about "nerd rage" again.

  • @Rightwingwac so much rage and so little brains. What an internet mental midget so easily goaded into a battle of wits which for you is the equivalent of bringing a wet towell to a gunfight lol. Waiting for the expected nerdrage. I know you wont dissapoint

  • @clintusmaximus I'll do this all day. All you've got is this "rage" statement and cute little names. You use the same words over and over and if anything you're certainly predictable. You have no actual argument, that's why with your use of a metaphoric "gun" all I need is a wet towel, you're easy. I'm mentally superior to you, intellectually superior, musically superior (and I don't even play guitar) and overall just a more logical person. Still waiting on that guitar-God post.

  • Sorry boys... but the lady has all the talent and all the pussy... you beg for both! ...now, go play D&D and whack it late tonight... you won't be so angry!

  • Total fucking crap. Jimi must be rolling in his grave. She belongs in the kitchen, not on a stage...

  • ohhh my god, my heroin, the guitar of the moment

  • all you assholes who think you know all about jimi's tone and that her sound has too much overdrive and too less feel,should sit back and appreciate the fact that she is doing her own thing and developing her own sound......if jimi played with this much overdrive,you guys would be sucking up to him still... so relax and enjoy her efforts which,im sure has surpassed anything you wold ever do...

  • She just keeps on getting better and better.

  • She is badass, love her tone, love the overdrive, love the feeling she plays with. Like to see all these people picking her apart to go ahead and post their version of this song so we can see it done the "right" way.......

  • ORIANTHI the HENDRIX OF MILLINIEUM

  • once you get past the intro, its good, not the style some of us like, but definitely a good cover

  • Loved the video! I'm tired of watching ugly dudes play guitar. She's talented and great to look at too.

  • no feeling...just shread lots of notes...rubbish!

  • Outstanding cover, but have to agree with the comments about too much distortion... her amp's at 11, and we need it at about an 8. Damn if she can't work that fuckin' guitar though!

  • @one0nine dont forget the wah is a tone monster and adds distortion in bucketsful

  • @one0nine That sound is due to her choice of hummbuckers over single coil. Quite clearly she relies on gimmicks more than skill. Guaranteed if she played that on a Strat, we wouldn't have lasted more than a minute.

  • Avril moved from D major?

  • meh...nothing special....i think i'll go back to listening to animals as leaders

  • Amazing chops, and she can sing too, what's not to like? Maybe it's best to listen and not look at her. Jimi would LOVE her! ( Stevie Ray too)

  • Yup, hater's gonna hate.  Jimi would not approve.

  • She doesn't suck and I want a PRS.

  • Haters! Nuff said!!!!

  • Yeah she is just ok. Out of tune also or someone is

  • i love her playing shes great she has great soul but i agree way too much distortion

  • Wow, Avril! You shocked me! That was good stuff!

  • Super Hendrix tone. Too much distortion? That was Jimi Hendrix's thing. He melted tubes down with overdrive. It's just the rhythm section here sucking the life out of it and playing it straight and making it sound like some new grunge bullshit. Let's all cry for Mitch Mitchell and the bastardization of his genius here.

  • Wow, awesome. I think Jimi would be impressed.

  • Good Job but NO Orianthi you are not a Voodoo Child. She has been playing with so many big names in the business it is obviously going to her head. Where are the blues bends??

  • Your personality comes out in your music. Everybody is unique. Its interesting how we judge somebodys performance compared to the original artist/performer. She played her own version

    and played it well. It wouldnt suprise me to hear Hendrix say he dug it...everybody rock on to your

    own way of doing it:]

  • very nice try from Greek girl!,,greetings from Grece and kisses

    Keep rockin

  • Lita Ford just nodded off. Let her sleep.

  • Great tricks and mimicry. 

  • fuck, if this was a try hard performance, then i hope everybody else is gonna try hard too :D they just might be as good

  • Me to my cock: "Oh, no. Again!".

  • Marry me!

    NOW!

  • I love her !

  • An old blues with a modern sound..

  • terrible tone????!!.....a try hard performance??!!!.....Ive never heard anything more JEALOUS in my life, you guys think shes coming to cut off your guitar balls is what that comment is.......and she is coming, with a gigantic guitar knife to castrate you. If you are so good, where the hell is your youtube vid, bunghole????!!!

  • Orianthi is scary good. And @clocktime11 yah dude- she scares my guitar balls right off. The chick is badass.

  • @zylaxis and you a scary dumb !!!

  • @clocktime11 And you just showed what an ignorant moron you are keep digging Orianthi you can ride the nowhere train together, next stop end of the line Loser ville .

  • @clocktime11 yeah , she good but not better than other guitar players, even some kids on youtube kills her easily with this song , the only reason why people give here attention is cuz shes a chick, end discussion

  • @clocktime11 +1 Fact is no matter what people say, people are watching Orianthi and not them. I haven't seen any of these guys play in front of thousands. Hey, all greats are hated on by someone.

  • @clocktime11

    i agree, she's amazing

    the only thing i'm missing is a little more emotion in her playing

  • @clocktime11 Haha dude you are so right!If Jimi was around today people would trolling against him on YT to,I'm betting my ass.Fact is she plays with ''Rookies'' like Satch,Vai or Santana,these guys have never set foot on real stage or studio in their lives.

  • @clocktime11

    heh heh, Yup, they're scared about their insecure genitals, alright! Me thinks they have to be in denial about the rise in numbers of young excellent female guitar players

    The ones that surely aren't insecure are the accomplished artists featured with this new generation in other vids, like santana, satriani, stevie vai, beck, etc, etc. I'm pleased they like to perform the music i like too.

  • @clocktime11 yeah she's incredibly talented!!

  • A try hard performance if every I saw one,doubt this chick will ever get there though she lacks style, feel and individuality, terrible tone, I've never seen anything Orianthi has done that's made me think otherwise .It's nothing to do with her sex I love to see female rockers kicking ass .Tal Wilkenfield for example an Aussie chick playing bass with Jeff Beck she's brilliant.

  • Comment removed

  • Voodoo chile? :D

  • she nice! really. but too much noise :P!! but she is DAMN GOOD.

  • TOO. MUCH. NOISE. She's quite good, but still has to develop a true style of her own.

  • goshdammit....im in awe......A little girl with a big guitar sound is SCARING all you macho guitar punks....hahahahaha...JEALOUSY­. plain and simple.

  • Do me a favour, Jimi Hendrix had feeling ,style & God given talent. This is just an overdriven noise.

  • She does play well but, she does need a little work (doesnt everyone) specially on the stage presence. That would be challenging, she looks a bit smaller than Jimi.

    I'd say Jimi's passion came from Viet Nam as well as from acid.

  • great potential. Just dont quite get the 'Hendrix passion'. I think it will come with a little more confidence/ stage presence.

  • @SofaaKing2 That's purely because she doesn't have acid tucked away in her headband ;)

  • She does play very well indeed no comments, but I also think that part of her success comes from the fact that she's a girl. There's plenty of perfect unknown guys on Youtube who can play much better than her but they are not as famous.

  • @miononnoincarriola that's why she is so famous! cuz she's is a girl!! We've heard enough of guys!! Besides.. all the virtuosos are guys!! It's time for a girl to show up!! Isn't it?!

  • Nothing beats a nice looking chick rocking out on a classic song.

  • @fjk1138 it is the greatest thing isnt it

  • nice....but too much wah

  • Killer! Too bad her guitar's out of tune...

  • She can definitely play thats for sure.. but shes not there yet...

    But will be soon...

  • One of the best covers I've heard . I like her shoes too.

  • Minha guitar preferida, toca muito princesa

  • I like it!

  • DONT HATE YOU BUNCH OF BITCHES.

  • my sweet girl!

  • Show bubis!!! No play!

  • Too much distortion and embellishment. Sounds bad. The point with Hendrix and SRV playing Voodoo Child is that they could channel the hurricane and thunder in the guitar and the backing instruments towards a singullar outcome.

    Orianthi has talent but she and her band are all over the place on this one

  • do not cover hendrix ever, don't care who you are. no one will feel it like hendrix and that's something you can't fucking learn.

  • @Slegnaon Everyone should do an Hendrix cover in honor to his memory. His greatest wish was that other people would someday play his music and we should grant that wish.

  • what the fuck is this?

  • Yes i love it--- sounds soooooo uh metal!!

  • If you can,t do it yourself do not knock it, the girls fxxxxxx good live with it.

  • remarkably tasteless.

  • Too much distortion and not enough taste. if she wasn't super hot this wouldn't be tolerated

  • @tMattLZ If I had read your comment before commenting, I wouldn't have commented. I couldn't agree more.

  • @tMattLZ no taste? man, are u deaf or what?

  • @tMattLZ You sir, are a wise man! *thumpsup*

  • @tMattLZ I agree 100%

  • @tMattLZ So, you only 'tolerate' her for being 'hot'? Who the f**** do you think you are? Mister wonderfull guitarplayer? Mister superhero? That's why we all heard so much about you. Everyone is waiting for your opinion, right?

  • @ewoutvm1 Lol. my point is that if she were an average looking male her exteremly distorted guitar tone and her shred guitar mindset wouldn't go over very well. People ignore her lack of taste and touch in this preormance because of her looks. As a guitar player and somebody who knows what a good Hendrix tone should sound like I know that she is far off the mark with this one.

  • @tMattLZ Just a matter of taste. Covering doesn't mean that you try to be Hendrix. Quite impossible, I think, She plays something 'new' here, based on a very strong song. She does that well, it is worth listening (also if you only listen to it), though I agree she has to mature a little and improve somewhat in personality.

    If I was forced to compare it to the Hendrix song, then the tone isn't what I'am most worried about, but the timing. Hendrix has that edgy timing that made him inimitable.
