The best female electric guitar player ever!

[@IcarusSuite]

No question.

[@cristianobochese9526]

bLAStSuCaRTa She's not the best electric guitar player ever, but I agree she's the best female one. In this case the gender is required, sorry...

[@tanuki5834]

Definitely one of the best. A guitar hero to me. How many people can do the tapping style she does. She’s elite in that. Male of female

[@toqueosacordes]

Yes.

[@shred5]

I think I have to agree. She does the shred thing with flawless technique and then can play the blues with the best of them too. Did you see her playing Brush with the Blues with Nili Brosh and Gretchen Menn, neither or are too shabby but she clearly took the cake

[@honjon666]

Jennifer was really ahead of her time with the two hand tapping, especially the string skipping extended arpeggios. Amazing talent to this day. This video is absolutely a gem to see and hear.

[@grtxyz4358]

Still unequaled IMHO…

[@alexandreguitar]

Incredible guitarist 🎸🎶🎵

[@DennisNelson-ee2il]

I only discovered Jennifer a couple of days ago,and boy,can she play guitar,and that's understating it.

[@realguitarshredder]

Legend

[@patouneraph2228]

Jennifer Batten guitariste absolument extraordinaire, vélocité, fluidité,un feeling fantastique,originalité dans son jeu, j’adore !!!!!!! Et un profond respect pour tout votre travail accompli .

[@HorstKoch-zy4ni]

Yes if I would like to play like her,

[@JohnLloydDavis]

I had the cassette from the Guitar for the Practising Musician magazine with Jen's version of Giant Steps on it and was blown away. What an amazing musician she is.

[@kleberkshima]

Awesome! Best female guitar player ever ❤

[@denislangloisbaker]

I saw jennifer batten in 1989 in switzerland in private concert in yverdon les bains 🎉 amazing guitarist ❤

[@bradking1067]

this mix ain't loud enough!!!!I've always been a sucker for her!! Love me some Jennifer Batten!! totally underrated she kicks my ass!since the 80's Thanks Shalom God loves you deeply

[@These_go_to_eleven_1959]

Jennifer was such a impressive player that the legendary JEFF BECK was impressed by her playing! So much so he offered her a spot in a band with him! How is that for a reference? 😁

[@amberpipkin]

SHREDFEST! 🎸😎

[@TheScaredofsilence]

I wish I could give this a thousand likes

[@brianmclaughlin4419]

She's got that Jeff "Let's Be Regular" thing I just love in far-Out-There Creative Types, because I am one Too. And you have to learn it's The Humble Path for The Happy.

[@juankmarte4046]

Shes playing Giant Steps or sort like that tapping it ...even if its not improvised damn good

[@juliofrancisco4289]

Simplesmente sensacional poderosa

[@KeithCanisius]

Dont understand why a guy like Steve Vai never gave her any attention. Invited her to the G3 or something. She should have gotten much more approval and mentions by those guys.

[@Onoma314]

Yup. I had heard a rumor somewhere that back in the day Van Halen was approached at some point to see if she could open for them and after Eddie heard her play he was like " Oh hell no, she's not going on before me "

[@These_go_to_eleven_1959]

Not sure but Vai loves her playing i heard him say that in a interview.

[@jeffreyjay3860]

She would have showed them up!

[@klistarf]

Way back in the day Jennifer had be shaking my head in sheer disbelieving admiration, and well over 30 years later she still has me shaking my head as much as she did back then. Simply stunning talent! \m/ (:o)

[@gregggaldo9181]

She was my FAVE at G.I.T. ......the best!!!

[@DAVEBLISS2007]

Stunning playing, no wonder she played with Jeff Beck

[@juancanio9555]

Fantastic player................thanks for sharing

[@eliaspap8708]

To Play for Michael Jackson. You gotta be one of the best. She certainly fits that

[@runrunrun6777]

I dig her "off kilter" style. Unique, and you can tell she paid attention to what Joe Diorio taught her.

[@alfaldoyuno4440]

The guitar queen

[@ColdSoDuh]

Some of the best if not the best tapping male or female

[@giancarlocorcillo6671]

Grandissima!

[@saoirse579]

She Is FANTASTIC! There is a Huge Difference between her then, and now. It seems she was more Hungry back then..But today she is more focus'd like. I love hearing her play on anything!

[@panicandfreakout-]

She's better now, every note counts !

[@hettory]

SÚPER JENNIFER👍🎼👍🎼👍🎼

[@horacioangel1454]

Fantástica, siempre la he admirado. Ella está a la altura de los grandes de todos los tiempos.

[@jsgguitar3143]

Jen Vai

[@nylonsteel]

Awesome

[@PandawaSeat]

Guitar goddess. Rock 'n roll ! 🤘 To be a rocker you don't need tattoes on your body.

[@gallegosvhf70]

If this is the Jam session from 89 or 90 I was there in the audience..It was killer..She talked back then about how she was in love with Jeff Beck. .She was great I should have taken lessons from her life like I did from Jeff Young (ex-guitarist) MEGADETH

[@These_go_to_eleven_1959]

A few years later Jeff Beck asked her to be in his band!

[@alexkx8599]

WHAT YEAR WAS THIS?! I can't believe I have to ask this for every video on this website. It drives me insane. By the looks of her probably 1991?!

[@luchohuiscalen2234]

Lo mismo me pregunto.

[@re-yt00666]

MANY THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO I WAITING FOR THIS A LONG LONG LONG TIME!!! LOL ABSOLUT TOP jENINIFER BATTEN THE ART OF TAPPING STYLE !!!

[@blessedheavyelements8544]

And THAT Boys and Girls..is how a Boomer Shreds! I learn something every time I watch or listen to her. Fantastic ability.

[@stephenkessel1990]

Yup thats the style i always liked used to think about being tied up in it lol

[@josephfemoyer7218]

[@hendriksantos4088]

[@MrPedur]

Formidable - 强大 -هائل - Möhtəşəm -শক্তিশালী - Zastrašujuće - ကြောက်ခမန်းလိလိ - Zowopsa - Hirmuäratav - Valtava - Redoutable - შესანიშნავი - Τρομερός - પ્રચંડ - Twòb - If I had the time, I would write that word in every language of the world. She's so good. Long live Jennifer Batten 💖💝💘💞💕🧡❤💚

[@interestingthings8598]

Tapping and legato are THE techniques for the flying of the bumblebee

[@dancemjfan1802]

Michael and you mised on the stage Jennifer Batten

[@danielantonio7232]

🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@courtmetrage]

She is not a showoff, she doesn't show off her breasts, she shows only talent.

[@amberpipkin]

This angers me as I think of Taylor Swift being voted top 20 guitarist in recent years.

[@skwaihee]

She's actually a pretty girl. Just her sense of fashion and hair too outrageous.

[@armandom28]

spectacularly boring.........

[@EthnHayabusa]

Piss off.

[@joeconti3599]

Your guitar and your profile picture look boring as fuck...you are just mad she's successful and you are still probably dad rocking in your basement

[@crystalstarfestival4100]

Now that's rich coming from someone who looks like you in the dumb profile pic :D Perhaps you might want to tell us what A-list artists did you share the stage with, in a non-boring kind of way ;) Sheesh the nerve...

[@tanuki5834]

Post some of your playing so we can see how it’s done

[@Gregorypeckory]

Please boys, quit living in the past when it was supposed to be only guys playing flashy rock guitar; that's long over. Stop referencing her gender in relation to her playing; you can't hear gender, and she is simply one of the greatest guitar players on the planet. You don't need to qualify that; it's just factual, taking all players into account, not just other females.
