I'me shure some of you have heard a song on the radio called "According to You"...real pop type song ???, but with some hectic shredding every now and then....

She's got some great chops. Exceptional? I can't really say.
I love her guitar but don't really like her tone.
And she's pretty.

well all i can say is woman are no longer 2nd rate guitarists .......... and maybe not us 40 ish muso's to whom lead guitar was always a male domain..... but i been seeing internationally and even teaching some mean young teens and twenteens woman guitarists who could out play many of my male students .......... with heir abilities..and they all being original artists. none is wanting to emulate a "guitar hero from past"

so the lead guitar label is in coming years even in jhb is not exclusively reserved for the "boys club" although to be honest most pro woman guitarists tend to be lesbians ...........mmm interesting . i'm sure someone will publish a paper on that soon i'm sure.............. but it's true with exceptions of course like to any rule

Yeah... that is rather an ugly girl... black nail polish to look cool... I don't know, I think Ms Hammett plays ok for a girl... wish she'd grow some balls and get back to playing like Master of Puppets... instead of rehashing yet another version of something thats in its third phase which is truly, and honestly, unforgivable... sigh

Currently giving her Believe album a listen. Not bad stuff, a little bit poppy, although mixed with some good playing.

I did see her on on This Is It on Mnet last night. The poor girl did seem a bit confused as to where to go and what to do when around MJ. Don't blame her though. ?

Jip, saw her as well last night on This Is It. One thing still stay the same: She rocks!!!!
You can see the passion in her eyes. She enjoys every second of playing!!!

Probably after Tommy Emmanuel, Brett Garsed, AC/DC and Tal Wilkenfeld.

I enjoy her, she does love playing I agree and that makes her fun to watch. I'm thrilled for her and wish her success. I don't think she's that exceptional a guitarist, either technically or in terms of having her own style. I just don't see what's so exceptional about her playing. She's no Batten or EVH, if you want to measure against past MJ alumni.

Ok don't flame me, I feel bad already 'cos like I say, I have nothing against the girl, she's super cool. On 2nd thought flame away, I can take it. ?

I'm also not that impressed personally. Yes, she can play the guitar physically but i find the little licks and what not she throws into her songs kinda serve no purpose. To me they're just kinda like a "ja, i can do that" statement.
