Nope, she's 23. Maybe she can also make music, but what is see and hear is more sport related.

23, hard to believe, or videos were made a long ago. Anyway, that's my feeling about most "guitar heroes": lots of competence, lots of show off, not impressed. In this case was just the (supposed ?) youth of the girl that impressed me.

I am impressed when someone is competent and flashy. It takes either extreme talent or extreme skill to play extremely fast lines in context. Rather then throw a bunch of notes on the wall and hope they stick. Good music either impresses or inspires by it's own nature. That girls chops didn't come from outerspace and just land on her. Talent has to be tempered with very focused dedication to attain that level of musicianship.

I'm with Tapper.
My playing is very undisciplined, but I can so respect her craft(competence).
Love to hear her original stuff.
She does have an artistic feel for it IMO, coz it flows so well.

her solos are extremely well constructed and musical. She plays with a lot of emotion, I would say passionately. She means it.

there are plenty people around that can't do this what can't stand it when someone can; pretty predictable. comments such as the 'sports-related' says but nothing about the object presented. I suppose every classical virtuoso is to be dissed in the same way, and as automatically...

In a world of spectator sports, anyone is a quarterback or a coach after the fact of the play... anyone can pose as a critic, how many do the damn thing.

as far as flash, at the beginning of a career, seems like a good idea, she gets noticed, gets views. For extraordinary technique. How offputting is that?

It isn't my idea of what to do and after a time certain licks might get to be predictable. But, this is a young artist...

I suspected that was the reason I think she's so over-the-top amazing, so I closed my eyes and pretended it was some ugly old crank-shooting male guitarist. But the picture in my mind kept slipping back to Hendrix, because — at least in Lost Paradise — that's who she plays like and is damn near as good as.

No, 'fraid you can't attribute her stunning performance to her stunning looks. That kind of righteous awesome just shatters any cynical excuses for why she's so good. Looking like she does is just ice cream on the cake.

My only objection is her absconding a 10-second Gilmore riff from The Wall in one of her songs. It's so obvious, it's certainly a tribute rather than plagiarism. Nevertheless, she should stick to playing her own stuff, particularly when she's young, just starting, and THAT good.

BTW, she now goes by her middle name, Juliette Jade, and just released an album. It's called Solarium (I think), and I wish I had a link to it.

i really like this guitar; 1 single coil, vol/tone pots. the lead seems drowned out by the rest of the song. cool though.
