WOW sie ist soooo gut! Ich fasse es nicht! So jung und schon so proffesiionell spielen zu können, das ist der Hammer! Ich kanns echt nicht fassen, ich kriege mich gerade gar nicht merh ein! Wow Wow Wow....
You're an incredible talent, Desiree. You have the potential to go even further and take us places heretofore unseen. Keep it real and fun, and above all, never be content musically. Overcome stagnation when it occurs through hard work and desire. After all, that is your name.
Thank you utube because with out seeing a photo of this young talent I would not know about her so I can have her album in my collection in future. After seeing some videos on here I wonder if she feels ockward if the guitar isn't in her hand. She's practice's so hard I can tell because of all the covers and then her own style too. Great influence Desiree.
she blows me away playing and i cant play near as good as her but come on she no guitar god just cause she a girl people put her up on a soap box, lol . i have freinds that can play just as well but dont have the connections she got . once again proves if your women who can play u got it made lol . keep on rocking !
I'm going to agree with jmb5380 on this. I have a few people I play with who can tear up the fretboard but have now inclination to stay within the song. That's what makes EVH and Page, Jeff Beck, even Clapton, the true music has nothing to do with how fast someone can play. This young lady is technically very good but to me everything sounds the same. She needs a really good musical mentor to help her contain that talent and then someday she may be mentioned with the great players. Not Yet
there are a million guitar players that can shred, but how many can play with as much feeling as, Wes Montgomery. Or Compose something like Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the sinner Lady, now that album really strikes a nerve or emotion. These people are musicians, not people imitating styles other people created
she does...but I know many kids herr age who are better and worse. I don't think her playing is at all exceptional, but I am impressed that she knows how to use modes at such a young age
I have been spreading the word of you to family and friends Dezi.You have great things coming to you in the future.Kudos to your family and those you hold dear.Rawk on man!!
I get slightly perturbed at people that try to compare this young lady to the likes of other older male counter-parts. Especially ones as silly as comparing her to Herman Li. It is an obvious troll post when someone makes a goofy comparison and as such I investigate users like this. I have determined primordialcontext to be a worthless crud and have blocked him from my channel. Desiree gets my 5 Stars *****/*****
Did I see right?You mentioned primordialcontext??Hahahaha.He is a true piece of work.The true definition of a Troll.I have had several run~ins with him quinoacat.Five Stars for Dezi..always*****
@quinoacat, let em compare as long as it's not to some hack... if someone's comparing her to Steve Vai then that's a honor because Steve Vai is better than almost everybody...
Ashford's Desiree Bassett, who had been billed to me as a 15-year-old guitar prodigy. I was skeptical when I heard this; the word "prodigy" seems to be used pretty liberally these days. Not so here. Desiree Apolonio Bassett is a shredder. She ran the voodoo down through a series of originals, and peppered her set with Jimi Hendrix covers which glowed under her nimble fretwork. She also took a particularly impressive extended solo over a 5/4 vamp that was just loaded with challenging twists
I like seeing this compilation of past events in Desiree's life.
I've shown and sent this video to some of my net friends...including Sam Andrews (Janis Joplin's former lead guitar player). Everyone is thrilled by her. I think her parents must be great people to have given her the proper guidance and encouragement that such young talent needs. I'll check back regularly, with anticipation. Thanks for posting this new, well made video. Erik.
