Hi Guys, just thinking that there are loads of lessons on the site and they're all male guitarists. Then I remembered Jennifer Batten who, I think, was quite a well known guitarist in the 80's, and played with some pretty famous people, although I can't remember who!
How does she rate amongst the top players?
Just thought I'd ask...

She used to play with Michael Jackson !
Incredible guitar player, female version of Van Halen if you will

She is really good. I was looking for a picture with her to post but couldn't find. She also played with Jeff Beck.

Here is a great video of her playing Flight of the Bumblebee with 8 finger tapping

I wrote a Wiki Article about her http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Jennifer_Batten
There's some lesson links at the bottom of the article to the lessons I found that are most relevant to her style!!

Killer player, amazing, I didn't heard her stuff for some time, thanks for this cool reminder!

If you are into 8 finger tapping then Jennifer Batten, Daniele Gottardo and Dave Celentano are very good players to learn from....

I've been working on this lately.....very tough technique to get used to .....
