Ok, I saw her on AI last night, and although I didnt care for the music <a
bit too girl power for me> I could see the technique in her left hand. So,
I went on the web and checked her site out, had to buy it to support her
when I saw she was endorsed by Carlos and Steve. She does this duet with
Steve Vai, and when I saw it I thought you'd get a kick out of it.

Wow, I am stunned,... she can play. I also liked her hair, cape and her
short colored fingernails too, they matched her strap. <g> No seriously,
it is refreshing for me to see kids playing actual instruments again and
doing it very well. Thanks Bob!

No problem, It seemed like our past conversations revealed similar tastes in
guitarists, so I thought you'd appreciate her playing as much as I did.
When I saw Vai, Santana and others that I really respect endorsing her, I
had to give it a serious listen. After hearing it, I had to buy the CD just
to show support! Granted, not my taste in music, but she's off to one hell
of a start, and after a little growing as a writer she could be formidable.

I agree about the instrument thing, so tired of rock band this, guitar hero
that. It just irks me when people find out I'm a musician and ask me if I
play guitar hero. Yeah, I spent the last 30 years and 10's of thousands of
dollars in preperation of playing "simon" with a guitar shaped controller on
the xbox. Stone and Parker nailed it with their GH episode of Southpark.
The redeeming factor is that they have to use music from our time in the
game :)

If that was that clip that I think Glennbo or you posted it was hilarious
and said it all.

She's on the cover of Guitar Player this month with a feature article
about her.
