She can play anything. I saw her in another video playing it with two hands like Stanley Jordan. She is a great player, and it is unfair to just compare her to Orianthi just because they both played with Michael Jackson. She compares to Vai, Satriani, Johnson, Malmsteen...all of em. She is great!!

@heyawhaw I think there is a combination of gender bias, along with a lack of women pursuing their interest in the instrument. In the past, girls were not encouraged in that direction, so there aren't as many girls who pursued guitar seriously. Those that did are not taken seriously, and are ignored by their (often less skilled) male counterparts, even though they may have been deserving of recognition.
I do think that the doors have been opened a bit, and that will change in the future.

@rolg3 hey I had the pleasure of sittin' with Mike--Elvin & the rest of PBBand---I just don't get the shredder that has crept into the BLUES--although at times I hear that with JW--I'm all for articulation--nuance picking--dynamics--space--char
acter--bottom line-feel it play it--EMOTION--the BBand was all that and more ! -
@bluesatbirthi hate the tone of shredding, i like to name but a few: Super session w. al kooper mike bloomfield or early johnny winter , second winter his the lp before that, these performances have stood the test of time. good blues is about timbre and the space between the notes, for my ears the technical mish mash in this video is void of meaning or emotion, nothing whatsoever to be jealous of.

@rolg3 So who do you consider not boring ? EC at the C/R festival was absolutely boring. He was at his best with Cream. I agree it becomes Rep--not her area of expertise. But Then again--what are you into --the dreadful shredder blues ?

the umpa,umpa backing track is a joke - the clean sounding guitar at the beginning is of the improvisation is nice - most of the rest is totally boring self congratulating and repetitive - sorry

I've been playing guitar for 42 years and I think I am good enough to shine Jennifer's shoes and carry her luggage

And Eric didn't see fit to invite her to the Crossroad Festivals? WTF? She's played 2nd guitar with Jeff Beck for crying out loud. Maybe it would have sent poor little boy John Mayer crying to his mama and burn all his guitars?
