You know who played most of the guitars on her last album bar the solos. PhillyQ's favourite you tube star...

Really?   :o

Yikes.  Can't she do barre chords then?

That made me chortle out loud!

I think Orianthi is shitee (or at least her lead playing on the MJ stuff is). She is hot though.

she sounds like Emille De Ravin of Lost..hell of a hooter as well.

and am I the only one who thought the playing wasn't that great?

she's a baby, surely south of 20yrs, anyone who can even approximate convincingly 'beat it' without backing
is' very good,' at any age .i'd like to show her my whammy bar technique, just for jolly!

actually watched the vid now. :lol: all you guys saying she sucks, let's see your attempt. i thought that was great. we need more girls/women playing guitar, they're already discouraged enough, yet any time an actual kickass female player does show up, she gets slagged off. :?

I don't think they're discouraged at all, I think that's a myth. More likely a case of being naturally predisposed to songwriting or other direct routes to the emotional expression rather than the A-Typical male autistic shredder.

Now, this is a good female guitarist http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVThmL2u1Ig  8)

Yeah. Its perfectly good playing. Not jaw dropping, but she can play. The somewhat sad thing is, half this board can probably play as well as her, loads of male guitarists play as well or better, and that shes a woman and can play well is seen as somehow remarkable, which statistically it is, but its also condescending; so what that shes a woman and can play; the only remarkable thing about that is that for whatever reason, few women choose to really go for it guitar playing wise; most just learn a few chords so they can sing to them. Thats fine, maybe theres some difference in the wiring of genders brain that makes a predisposition or inclination in women away from guitar playing, so what, who cares? They CAN if they have a good go at it, mayhaps most just dont want to.

Her looks seem to polarise people too much - they either see a hot bird that can handle a guitar and go nuts over it, or see a hot bird thats in the grande scheme an unremarkable guitarist and slag her off for not being utterly incredible.

i disagree with that. look at violin virtuosos. almost all female. it's certainly not that they can't do it, or don't want to do it. it's also worth pointing out that there's a much bigger market for female singer-songwriter types than there is for guitar virtuosos (there's not a gigantic market for males either, but it's a lot bigger than there is for females)- i'm sure a lot might feel pushed towards it (much like the old advice in schools, "that's a good job for a girl"). self-fulfilling prophecy, behavioural confirmation, stereotype threat and all that.

EDIT: and don't even start me on how a lot of girls/women get treated if they walk into a guitar shop.

She is playing the cards she has been dealt.  She is pretty, and does her most to look hot.  She can play and does it under pressure in front of people.  Add the fact that most shred head concerts are total sausage fests.... no women at all.... To have a hot chic even attempting to shred is heaven with a guitar strapped on...  She is opening more doors for other women to get up and play some metal.  Who can't like that?  I am for anything that will advance the cause of metal, in particular normal E tuned playing and great riffing / leads.   Can't really get excited too much about droning drop tuned jams that don't even put in a good riff.   Not all are like that but too many are.  I saw Gogiera play before Lamb of God, they were total garbled rubbish drop tuned into oblivion.  Lamb of God was before Metallica.  They were good.  Metallica came on and just stomped it.  Guitar shred and massive riffing.  Some little hot metal bird was probably getting inspired ....

I think that's pretty good to be honest, standing in front of an audience in such close proximity too. And yeah, she's not looking too bad at all...  8)
