[@MisterGuitarItalia]

As usual, the most talented are the most humble... go Batten!

[@mikefitzpatrick5284]

I agree. A smart lady and she has a great personality!

[@Hi-xs7wm]

Beautiful artist and person . I could listen to her talk all day

[@papabrancamastering]

She is soooooo awesome! :D I met her after a concert in Germany and had a long chat with her at the hotelbar :D

[@MeatyController]

She's so vivacious! Great sense of humor and mad talent

I was at GIT in the 80's, and Jennifer was often there. Make no mistake... she was as accomplished on guitar as the other guitar masters at that time. This is a wonderful interview. I love hearing how excited she was about Jeff Beck.

Patrick Stefurak /what year GIT- was there in 81

[@patrickstefurak3124]

'88. Jennifer had graduated prior, gone on tour, and was back teaching. Still had the building on Hollywood Blvd, and the new building was also up and running.

[@AlJohnsGuitar]

that lady influenced more guitar players !! I loves me some Jennifer Batten!

[@Kurt1969]

What a fantastic interview!!! Kids today have no idea how fortunate they are regarding gear. I remember when I started playing guitar, I had a record player, guitar, amp and a distortion pedal. No tabs, videos, tools to slow down the music, etc. I had to learn by ear. And I'm not that old...

[@maidenthe80sla]

kurt singer I totally agree with your comment about how lucky today's budding musicians are with all these tools at their bidding. My learning journey started around early 1977 pretty much the same way as yours.

[@bdlfiffis8941]

[@stevesaavedra3609]
