[LetzBeaFranque]

Alicia, Excellent playing!! You play with soul!! Check out the latest issue of Guitar Player Magazine, Jan 2012. I think you are mentioned in the Paul Gibert interview; GP “Who are the players your hear these days who got a good sound or play interesting guitar parts?” PG says “…There’s also a 16- year old girl named Alicia who plays really good blues.”

[bluesbaby8]

@LetzBeaFranque Well, thank you so much for the great words! Thank you for letting me know about the publication. That is just out of this world!

[piankhy123]

Oh my GOODNESS! you play jazz (swing) as well as the blues on the guitar. What next, rockabilly?

Congratulations your guitar playing sounds wonderful.

[bluesbaby8]

@piankhy123 Thank you so much! It is funny that you mention rockabilly; I studied the songs of Brian Setzer for a whole summer a couple of years ago, haha! I actually love and play rockabilly, too. :)

[LittleRedKing]

That is inspiring.

Best wishes for a great 2012.

@mrgoodvibrations Thanks, Kenny! Sorry, I haven't responded to your messages. I'm a "little" behind. I also wanted to say it was so nice meeting and seeing you the other night!!

[WeepingZeeGuitars]

That was very cool.

[bluesbaby8]

@WeepingZeeGuitars Thanks so much!

[lrover03]

Woo hoo! Hot stuff kiddo! Love the sound of that big hollow body. I have an early 70's 'Realistic' hollow body electric that's a close copy of the Gibson CS 336, and I love the sound of it too. :))

[bluesbaby8]

@lrover03 Thank you!! Those Gibson's are very cool!

[noclouds111]

Young lady, you've made my day!

Keep 'em coming, Alicia!!

[bluesbaby8]

@noclouds111 Oh, gosh, thanks! I'm glad I made your day!! There should be some more videos coming later this week. By the way, thank you for listening to the radio show!!!! :)

[Tsutsomu]

Congratulations Alicia.

Merry Christmas and happy new year.

Your friend :

Steph.

[bluesbaby8]

@Tsutsomu Thanks, Steph! Happy New Year to you, as well!

[CheKerouac]

Nice job. I like the hollow body sound on this number.

[bluesbaby8]

@CheKerouac Thank you for the nice compliments!

[Bluematter2010]

Very Nice Alicia! Keep branching out like you have been doing. Passion is the key. Take a listen to some early Ten Years After-Woodchoppers Ball, Etc. All the Best-Blue

[bluesbaby8]

@Bluematter2010 Thank you for the very kind words, and for the suggestion!

[daviemcf]

Fantastic playing Alicia..I hope you come to Scotland on your world tour!! x

[bluesbaby8]

[bluesbaby8]

@jamesraymondsmith Sure!

[lighteningboy]

Woah, this is great, you are still improving? Look out jazz world!

[bluesbaby8]

@lighteningboy Oh, thank you!!! I appreciate it!

[Yahweigh]

Reminds me of Ren and Stimpy intro song ^^

[bluesbaby8]

@Yahweigh Haha, yeah, a little bit!! Thanks for the comment!

[Nimrod399]

Very nice! Flawless notes! Your entire intonation on the note quality is exceptional! What is that axe? Is that one of those new Godin's?

[bluesbaby8]

@Nimrod399 Thank you, Jimi! These are words that every guitar player dreams of hearing! Thanks!

No, I am playing a Sadowsky Jim Hall Signature guitar.

[SidVicious10101]

This is great, as usual! I believe the guitar player, Paul Gilbert mentioned you in an interview in guitar player magazine. The january 2012 issue. He references an Alicia who plays blues guitar really well, so I think it was you. Not sure if anyone mentioned that to you, but I noticed.

[bluesbaby8]

@SidVicious10101 Thank you, John! I didn't know anything about it, and I still wouldn't know anything about it if you hadn't had the courtesy to tell me! Thanks so very, very much for letting me know!! That is truly unbelievable!! I flew to the store, and bought a copy. I was so shocked when I saw it. It was too crazy! Thanks, again!!! :)

[SidVicious10101]

@bluesbaby8 Not a problem! It seemed pretty big, so I figured if you didn't know, I'd tell ya :)

[bluesbaby8]

@SidVicious10101 And boy, am I grateful for it! Happy New Year, John!

[SIXSTRING63]

@SidVicious10101 I read that too. He also mentions Sam Coulson who is a monster young guitar slinger.

[bluesbaby8]

@SIXSTRING63 Oh, did you? That's neat!

Yes, Sam is definitely great!

[MrsCatification]

Incredible good guitar-playing Alicia! A good way to end the old year and take the leap into the new fresh year! ;-)

Great!!! - Viveca

[screwmaster404]

Wow, Alicia---your performance is about as hip as it gets. *****

[crzycdn70]

Good going Alicia. Do you play any Steve Ray Vauhan? I would like to see you play "Cold Shot." I think you would do an awesome job on that one. You have a fan with me. Merry Christmas (belated) and Happy New Year. I hope its a good one for you. Kirk

[bluesbaby8]

@crzycdn70 Thanks!!! I occasionally play some SRV tunes. Cold Shot is one of my favorites. I might consider doing it sometime. Thanks for the suggestion!

[crzycdn70]

@bluesbaby8 I'm really looking forward to it. Keep up the good work. You are going to go places playing like that.

[bluesbaby8]

@crzycdn70 Thank you so very, very much!

[DerekNebel]

shitballs!!!! i had to set my guitar down and walk away from it after hearing that.

[bluesbaby8]

@DerekNebel Thank you for the flattering comment! :)
