Exactly Robin. Human....and maybe therefore very talented. I like her and her approach to music a lot.

She recorded on Jeff Beck's albums & was part of his touring unit for some years... Top that!!!

jamesbookert u so lucky 😍😍😍 dangerous world tour 😍😍😍

C'est sur, Sans oublier Emily Remler !..

not even close. She's a great guitarist but not a virtuoso. There's literally thousands of classical guitarists and other styles who you've never heard who are "better". Successful though? Maybe might be the most successful female guitarist.

What kind of clinic?

Guitar for the practicing musician album? I thought it was a “Coltrane” tune! 🚂🤦🏻‍♂️

Exactly what you said, Byron!

she sets the bar for women... hell, you sit her next to 75% of the guys out there and she'll outplay them... she is that good. wished more people knew who she is.

she plays as well as or better than many other players, period.

@@user-qr7ee2cp4y 75%? More like 99%. Name all the people who have toured with MJ and Jeff Beck.

Above Below and Beyond, she did it all on that one.

Yes. It was 2000, or there abouts. Jeff was at the outdoor venue in Tinley Park, IL. It was his first time touring the States in quite a while (my first time seeing him). It's the only show where I sat on the edge of my seat and didn't move for two hours, my jaw agape the whole time. He was masterful and she was a powerhouse. Jennifer was a great compliment to the music with perfect tone (which anyone playing with JB must have).

@@jimmyb1378 Yes, I saw her with Jeff at Jones Beach Theater (outdoors at the beach) in New York. They both shredded with incredible precision. She was so good that Jeff even bowed to her. She waved it off but definitely earned it.

What is it, girls comparison?

Agree

Well not the same generation but Oranthi have a good feeling! Jennifer is more shred oriented than Oryanthi

Dont forget..jen very loyal to Washburn..since 90s-today. Respect

@@mroppa6637 Yep but she's endorsed ;)

I believe it.

Fk China-youtube Socialism/communism she is super cool. I wish I had said hi to her one day leaving Guitar Trader.

"Beautiful tone with no need of a multitude of plugs and Axe´s effects like most people use nowadays." LOL! She uses a crap TON of effects. That RP1000 puts over 1500 effects combinations at her fingertips. I agree, she has great tone. But it has ZERO to do with her use of effects gear or lack thereof. She's just a great player.

@@MeTuLHeD I wanted to express that A LOT of musicians nowadays don't even use pedals. They configurate the digital plugs at their commodities like the Axe's because they are so f@ckin LAZY. (Also that's the reason why so many guitar players sounds exactly THE SAME.)

@@endtyme1345 "They configurate the digital plugs at their commodities like the Axe's because they are so f@ckin LAZY." I'm not sure we are understanding each other. I tend to both agree and disagree. 1. Disagree: Configuring a plug in or a virtual amp device like an Axe FX, Kemper, Helix, etc. is exactly like configuring an analog signal path. You have knobs and buttons and endless tweaking. In fact, I would argue that the virtual amps give you MORE tonal flexibility than an analog rig in terms of being able to tweak tone. Just the sheer volume of cab impulse responses alone which are available today is absolutely overwhelming. 2. Agree: Musicians in general...and kids in particular...hear a tone which they love and go on a quest to reproduce THAT sound. But in all fairness, it's been that way since LONG before there were plug ins and virtual amps. How many children of the 80's heard Sir Edward and started lusting after a Marshall stack and a Variac? So it's nothing new. But here's what they don't understand. Let's take Jennifer's signal path for example. You can buy a Blu Amp 1, run an RP1000 in the effects loop and pipe that out to the exact same cab she uses on stage (Marshall, Mesa, whatever) but you STILL will not get her sound. Why? Because it's HER tone. It's the way she holds the pick, the way she addresses the strings, the way she mutes the notes, her left hand vibrato and on and on and on. It's dozens of variables that make her sound like HER. If you get all her gear, you still won't sound like her. You will sound like you playing through HER GEAR. And that's where the kiddos quest for tone ultimately fails. True, virtual amps have made it possible to download presets actually created by and used by the artists themselves. Which means, if I want Plini's rig, I can use his presets and have his exact signal chain. Which does in turn lead to a certain "sameness" in tonality among many players who are slavishly trying to reproduce his signal path. But here's the rub. I still won't sound like Plini. Why? Because he's a unique player with a particular style. Just having his gear does NOT give me his sound.

@@MeTuLHeD Agree! Great comment! Loved that part of "Just having his gear does NOT give me his sound" that synthetizes my whole idea. I use Plini's Archetype btw...DAMN!#@! LOVEEE THAT PLUG! (Lol) & I think virtual signals has made easier to deal with common problems of analog sources, but for some reason I have to come back to my Fender twin reverb or my Marshall cabinet and a few pedals...but honestly with the Fender twin reberb and a digital reverb pedal I'm more than happy lol! Maybe it's time to let so many digital processors and start with the basics first? Do new kids know that feeling of an endless bending through their own fingers? ❤

She wrote songs with him.

You got wrong info. She was M.J.'s guitarist and wrote Beat it. She couldn't play the solo part she wrote and EVH stepped in and played it on the recording. Later on she learned how to play the solo. The video and info is out there. She is a great guitarist that doesn't get the credit she deserves 🎸

@@davidkastin4240 I stand corrected (Happily). I had read what I posted in the Ann Arbor News way back when. Now it is good to know the actual truth. I went to Herb David's Guitar Studio in Ann Arbor (now closed) at that time and found Jennifer's book with an attached cassette that demonstrated tapping technique and was full of licks--all using tapping. A book well beyond my ability, but even back then she was proving she was an advanced, professional guitarist.

@@gastonflatulenza1276 😉 cool. Yeah she is a very good guitarist underrated imo. Happy Holidays ✌

Batten is for sure a God Tier Shredder.

You can use the Fluence battery to power the sustainer, so you can have the best of both.

Carol Kaye was known a primarily a bassist. She really dosent have much of a recognized catalog as a guitar player but she has played on over 10,000 different recorded albums and singles as a bassist. She plays Ibanez SDGR basses currently and there us a new youtube documentary out on her. Also check out her feature on Scott's Bass Lessons Bassists you should know. 😁

Me too. Very similar

Definitely a bit o' the "laughing stacks" tone for sure. Love it.

I have one.

Good tone.

Fourth!

John Sykes who?

Whitesnake guitarist

Agree!

She was. RIP Michael.

Yes!

@@bagofcans1431 wow you're some dickhead. Who hurt you?

She did some touring with him but she is far from Michael Jackson's guitarist. Jennifer Batten is one of the World's finest guitarists. So good to see her in this video. What a great treat for the Holidays.

@@thecentralscrutinizerr She IS... these people never die!

I thought I wanted a Heil talk box originally, but got the Electro Harmonix Cock FIght pedal instead. For the price it's crazy good. And, I get to keep my bad teeth when I wail on it.

totally true, Orianthi SUCKS, she plays very sloppy. Jennifer rules, she´s the best ever!!!!!

ahhhhh the chick who played for michael Jackson, whos this bitch?

@@lincthomas7178 What´s your problem with women?

@@endtyme1345 none, dot have any problems with women, why u ask?

@@lincthomas7178 You called her "bitch" do you know her?
