ORIANTHI - Song for Steve (Vai)

ORIANTHI Miami, Florida, January 3, 2010, Song for Steve (Vai)

[@gaiolinn]

People who talk smack about her can't play half as good as her. Others are jelly that she was Steve Vai's student.

[@yoberdob]

When you get really good, that's when all those who can find something to try to detract from the beauty of your work crawl out from under their collective rocks to attempt to spoil the fun at hand. Love what I've seen of this lady's work and nothing but continued success to her for bringing the level of her craft to such a pinnacle thus far. I for one will be staying tuned on what she continues to do.

[@Insight200801]

Great Guitar licks. Great Voice. A beauty to boot. Truly a Rock and Roll Heaven on earth.

[@annarks70]

Orianthi!!! You rock Girl!!! Go 'koukla'!!! Just what the music world needs right now! whoooo! So proud of you ...love from Adelaide!!!

[@IamRockDemon]

She is one gorgeous looking, and very talented musician.

[@surfmiami]

Thanks for the help ID'ing the song. I'll update the title. She was a pleasure to watch play that day.

[@elroc10]

How in the world did I miss her coming to hometown!? I'm in freaking love with this chick.

[@ziriak]

[@dreadfullscout1234]

Thanks mate! :D

[@jenniferdowney7100]

I love orianthi so much

[@777ludovico]

[@overkill2006]

[@DeeDeeBaxter]

CHRIST WHEN WILL YOU GUYS EVER GROW UP????????? IT'S LIKE A BLOODY PLAYGROUND IN HERE!

[@cHUCHo458]

Ayyyy mamacita linda, eres la mera madre del talento y eres bella como ningunam, luces bella, eres un talento completo,e res lo mejor!! ORIANTHI, MI AMOR PLATONICISIMO CABRONES!

[@PaulMichaelR]

Cool id buy a ticket to see her play , great music speaks for itself !

[@Funnypandalonies]

Also, I am amazed at her ability to learn several songs perfectly in just 24 hrs. That is part of the talent she has. She can also twist a solo and make it better giving it her own style. She writes music, has several albums that some are unaware of, but all very good quality yet hardly recognized. Steven Tyler liked her music so much he wanted to take part in one of them. That's a compliment coming from a guy who knows great music.

[@liannecortvriendt]

Soooo very good playing!!!!!!! :D Like!!!!!!

[@SweetPainOfficial]

just 3 words......love, guitars, ORIANTHI ;)

[@ShotGunAshby]

her pose when playing reminds me of jimmy page with the whole leaning back thing :P

[@sparxx53]

Simply awesome,.

[@DeeDeeBaxter]

YES. That's amazing, the best orianthi comment I've read yet thanks

[@caosveg]

She is really awesome and beautiful!

[@DeeDeeBaxter]

well done,thanks

[@5150mario]

That's my 10 top and I love her. oh Orianthi's lovely too.

[@robinconet9577]

love you ori

[@lordofmadness1]

how can a girl be so talented and beautiful at the same time!!!!, that must be a sin or something!!!

[@romanozzy]

So beautifil girl!!!

[@bluehappyscrap]

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!😀🎈😀🎈😀🎈😀🎈😀🎈😀🎈😀🎈😀🎈😀

[@HoangTran-su2gl]

nice !!!!

[@roggerdiegokottak]

she is beautiful!!!

[@Jcp108]

hot vid love the music

[@rodmylon]

Actually it's "Song for Steve" (Vai). Love it =)

[@kosmoart]

I LOVE YOU ORIANTHIIII

[@anne12335]

marvelous

[@Alizar06]

Does anyone not realize she's actually a good player. I hear people say she's got nothing special, but those people obviously know nothing about tone and the guitar itself. She actually plays it with some meaning.

[@H3rb3rtW3hn3r]

I believe she won't be the future of female rock... She is the future of rock. Period ^^

[@MegaD42]

I wish she'd put more stuff like this on her albums.

[@rkatz0]

It's according to ME, you ROCK!

[@arpadtichy1038]

OMG... she is really something

[@ernestoreyes1189]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@nadiaenjackson]

I LOVE HER! And I love this song, too! Btw, she wrote it when she was about 16 or 17. :O

[@dcsoldatos]

Well said! SS3456 Me, I am not jealous, just impressed as all heck and wishing her well. The pickiest perfectionist in the world picked her to tour with ... the guy who only tolerates virtuosos at every instrument: MJ himself. And Santana himself said "when I pass on the torch, she is my first choice". Some all this youtube bellyaching don't mean a thing if this is what real musicians say.

[@kittizzone]

She is really awesome...So talented... If she change her look, she'll be more than awesome.Her look is too "Disney"

[@gearhead3990]

To all those who watched this video and made a knee jerk reaction to this song, and said that she is not talented please hold your judgement untill you have seen/heard what she is really capable of. This was one of her early songs, and does not even begin to show what she can do. Look up voodoo chile or some of her other covers. I agree that this song is nothing special, but believe me she can play with the best of them.

[@shawnkegresse5279]

ok ia drooling just too damn good

[@palomajemiffer6225]

Nice the song

[@1357Rag]

To all you Jealous haters out there,Orianthi is a Multi talented musician as well! Great with Drums & Keyboards too! So she is hot but she's an amazing talent as well! Nuff said!

[@TheJamison76]

i love this two hot girls in one band

[@stevecoffey5374]

Watch her playing voodoo chile live. I was totally engrossed. That woman is not boring!

[@duck809]

Nice

[@MsDavo123]

Guys I can only say she is beautiful+tallanted.Her ability to improvise is awesome.She really pissed me off because look like standart blonde but she is really good guitar player who has very big future!

[@guitarmajster]

@shit311 I did a bit of research, turns out she played with Michael Jackson, Vai, Santana,Prince and B.B.King. That just by itself is a reason to respect what she does. I hope some day Ill hear that something that they obviously heard in her guitar voice.

[@Philip_Lehmann]

best female guitarplayer on earth!!

[@Rubenvalente20]

the second lead guitarrist looks like peter franptom, because of the way he moves. not saying he is a bad guitar player, besides, to me it would be an honor to be confused with Mr Peter Franptom. well, by the way, congrats for the work Orianthy, you re my favorite, women guitar player.

[@Funnypandalonies]

I think a lot of the people cryin about her abilities are those that wish they had enough talent to actually do what she's doin on her own. On top of that, she's a girl in a mostly male industry. Tell me how many female guitarists actually Rock out that we know of, other then Jennifer Batton and the lead from HaleStorm (who people complain about as well lol)?

[@donottawaguitar]

wowness

[@BetaoftheBass]

i would love to see Orianthi play with Hizaki (Versailles) *O* that would be EPIC!!!!!

[@guitarralaraja]

after jennifer ( ex m jacksons band) this is the first gilr that i C really playing,, not only a wannabe...trying to tell rhe world IM A SEXY GUITAR PLAYER...

[@Scariestkiller]

Finally a female that can rock a guitar. Not only that, she can actually compare to Vai. Even if she's not necessarily better than him (let's leave that up to opinion lol) that's still extremely impressive on it's own.

[@espectaculardavidrcq]

Muy buena!! eres una genio!!! Pero los del sonido, para otra vez, que te suban mas el audio de tu guitarra, que a quien interesa escuchar es a ti!!

[@splendora]

she's beautiful and got great guitar skills. nothing else to add or criticize. if you wanna laugh at somebody there are michael angelo batio and rusty cooley....

[@makingnonsense671]

NO TIME TO WASTE TIME IS NOW OR NEVER I HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD SO I"M GOING FOR ITyouwill want to check it out too and dig it I just DIG Orianthi alot she's real good bad ass shredder jam along partnerwith steve vai who else is next.jammin' guitarist singer/vocalist songwriter alot more going to get come out of from her for a long time hits on the charts topping it that is the songs style sound=s colorful rockin heavy to other guitarists might learn from her g=playing as well as point

[@vaibanez17]

Joe Satriani should organize another G3 with Steve Vai and Orianthi. That would be great.

[@Funnypandalonies]

true. alice cooper is also a perfectionist on stage. And he's picked her as well. Real musicians who know talent when they both see it and hear it picked her for their shows. Santana, Via, Alice, Dave Stewart, they all call on her every year now to do shows. And she's laughin all the way to the bank yall no matter how much you bellyache, she's the one up there makin the dough, not you. If you don't like it, then don't pay for the tickets.

[@pool741]

my fantasy woman

[@gilmeaguitar]

holy shit...the chick can play... great music

[@Philip_Lehmann]

best female guitarplayer *and to hot for this earth*

[@gaiolinn]

I love the Internet as well. Look at all the things you said, that I never mentioned in my comment. Truly amusing.

[@dreadfullscout1234]

So who's the guy with the yellow PRS right there?!?!?!? He should deserve some attention too!! I hate how all these great guitarists that plays with other famous guitarists, to back them up in rhythm or semi lead; and they don't get any attention at all! They always remain obscured! That guy deserves a lot of credit for being who he is! Now, who'she!? :(

[@wahwah12892]

@eightbitvideo Are you talking about her guitar? It's a PRS :)

[@billypopali]

quit complaining everyone, if it comes down to it i'd rather listen to her than any other pop friendly girl out there.

[@weenss]

unbelievable picture and audio quality. how'd you do it hah

[@bigblue60mh]

Hothothot luv her

[@sumofone1969]

I wish I was a Paul Reed Smith guitar.

[@raybryant8229]

all sizzle,no steak.

[@himynameischrisAVA]

People who say she sucks are either: 1) sexist 2) jealous 3) gay There's no way to doubt how fantastic she is, catchy songs, extremely beautiful and great at guitar, makes a better role model for young girls rather than "N-Dubz" and "Rihanna"

[@gbsons]

@himynameischrisAVA My friend was shocked when I told him that it was her playing one of the solos of violet journey. He could have sworn it was a guy. I laughed.

[@MattSanGiovanni]

@vaibanez17 Orianthi doesn't have a solo guitar album.

[@cdsnzeevng]

@PinkyWontWork firstly, she says "now were going to play according to you" before she switches guitars... according to you is in a difrent tuning... would you suggest she stands there and tunes her guitar to the other tuning? or do your beloved strats change automatically? you feed them the set list and they switch tunings? im not a particularily big fan of orianthi's, i admire her for what she's doing, which is inspiring a new generation of teenage girls to pick up the guitar

[@houseband239]

what type of PRS is the yellow one to HER left?

[@dreadfullscout1234]

Oh shit! Yeah :P a double cut Les Paul... :P thanks for the correction mate!

[@emcitement]

@himynameischrisAVA I would agree with the first two but the third option just shows that you're no better than the people hating her.

[@BoKaUm88]

@RNRDOLL well i have to agree i fell in love with Ori, but its just a platonic one, because shes 9 years older than me (im 16), she lives 6 thousand miles from me, and its not because im a teenager or something, its just the other way around, i think im very mature. its just because im desperate.

[@makingnonsense671]

wreckin roll outstanding bright brilliant that she is ain't she wait till i get my music out myself working with this other guy teacher guitarist himself on my lyrics/songs don't need an overdoit type of solos match my singing mood swing as i emphasize certain parts words of the lyrics i'll just pick him for lead guitarist 23&will settle for aband member now he has his own ideas as well as helping me put the right proper riffs &solos grooves slides whatever it needs calls for now i needadrummer

[@johnjurrius6573]

If Vai says your good you are good.

[@trizzleseven]

@plusquamkonfekt yep, that's right. She's got the girl-on-guitar-bonus...

[@vladimirmazalica]

1 ! by golovic dragoslav from Krusevac city Serbia EUROPE

[@TheInfoSpecialist]

she must be pretty well up there with greg howe and all that to play in michael jacksons band as lead guitarist

[@makingnonsense671]

bassist experienced enough knows the basics then i got my act together complete of members musicians in the band i don't care if i'm a latecomer cause i've got material waiting to be recorded real!!!! he's got material/ideas too asap but still have to connect fix the song up and ready to hear played physically asap i'm not gonna give up i will and i will do something about it be aware ready to hear where the slack left off need connections would help alot and i mean alot meant it

[@PAULgilbertFAN93]

Orianthi.... Marry me!!!

[@Stillfaith209]

Haters, get out. I want her to myself. LOL, Orinathi is awesome.

[@lavender06]

how to post this on facebook?

[@eightbitvideo]

Is that at the home of the Dolphins? ImI see lot's of landshark ads there and it's in Miami so I'm guessing so.. Anyone know what kinda guitar that is? Looks like a Shecter but I can't figure it out. If it is Mesa's are awesome but Line 6 is the best amp to bring out a Shecters true power.

[@robbydouglas2]

The negative comments on here are from jealous, ignorant people. You don't have to like her music, her style, or what she represents. But if you have any intelligence whatsoever, you have to respect her ability, and how good she is...PRS only sponsors GREAT guitar players....period! I think Rap Music is stupid, pungent, and a worthless form of music...but I know a good rapper when I hear it. Rock on Orianthi!

[@Raulin2007]

@opiofile Very true.

[@BoKaUm88]

hey does anyone here knows if she has a boyfriend ? cause with that beauty and talent, she must have be engaged with someone now. thnx

[@racerx3065]

@muddywood have you met steve vai? hes a lovely guy and has no reason to turn down a video with orianthi, who im sure is nice aswell, especially when hes getting paid a fair bit for it.

[@dcsoldatos]

are you replying to me? You must be mistaking me for the other comment.moaners. I never bellyached, I complimented. I laugh all the time. Happy New Year yall.

[@sergeytry]

5***** !!!

[@Barefoot67]

@plusquamkonfekt I think you are correct, Batten is in a whole other leauge and if it was a man no one would care. Truth is that a ton of male guitarists kick her ass
