Badass Female Guitarist!!!!

[Johnfromokc]

Why have I just now heard of her? Carlos Santana sings her praises. She's from Australia. Crank it up and check it out. Her name is Orianthi:

she has talent

not sure I see anything that stands above a lot of other guitarists

nice find though

Looks like she plays in the pop world a lot. She was going to be Michale Jacksons lead guitarist in his "This Is It" tour before he died. A detour on her road to fame it looks like. Had Jackson lived, she would have rocketed as his lead guitar.

I think she needs to concentrate on the rock/metal more than pop. I think she is pretty special. For me, if Carlos Santana says you can play - you can play. I'm surfing youtube for more of her stuff.

Here's a newer one. Kinda popish. She does a short solo:

She plays so effortlessly. Absolutely amazing watching those painted fingernails fly across the strings.

The only thing that makes her stand out is she is a female

There are not many great female rock guitarists

That is not a knock on her ability

But there are tons of guitarists that are that capable

Has nothing to do with her being female....

She is even better live. She was ALice Coopers lead guitarist at his gig in September, and she left the blokes for dead.

It takes a LOT to impress me....and I was impressed.

I'll dig out some photo's..I dont think I posted any at the time.

Great pics Cammie!!

I think she is awesome. I don't get the critics. I just love to see and hear guitar players that can channel it like her. If she comes to OKC I'm there.

I grew up a huge guitar nut

I suck at it myself but I have listened to a lot over the years.

I totally admire her talent

I don't doubt for a second she is awesome. And I would be impressed seeing her live.

I am just saying there are a ton of other guitarists with similar talent

That is not being critical but just an observation.

She strutted that stage like she owned it....I was even turned on...:ninja
I would have LOVED to hear her crank out the opening bars to "Devils Food" but he didnt do it this time round.

I have LOTS more pics

Yeah I wish she would stick to rock/metal. Pop is a waste of her talent. Although it would have been a boon to her career to have toured with Michael Jackson.
