What strikes me more than her incredible technique is how incredible her ears are. She hears every incredibly tiny nuance, and cares enough about the those tiny subtleties to replicate them perfectly, which is a hundred times harder than just "playing the notes".
This is probably the most impressive guitar performance I ever heard. She's not just playing this most complicated piece flawlessly, she's puting a groove in every note as well. How does one remember a piece like this anyway? This is hard in so many ways (odd timing, hybrid picking, fast staccato runs) and she makes it look... effortless.
Dante it’s a combination of raking, alternate, and economy picking techniques, and she’s really good at all of them, as well as her sweeping. She’s just one helluva articulate player.
Jess I don't know HOW you managed to acquire this type of raw talent and skill at such a young age, but its incredible!! Goven is even inspired!! You are effortless, smooth and certainly play with the feel of Guthrie Genius, which until now I thought was the best I've ever heard. It's like he discipled you at 5 and breathed his skills into your hands, and now he's you and your him... I just can't get over how young you are to be playing such complex music flawlessly. Seriously, kudos!!
This girl is one of the worlds greates guitar talents in her age bracket. Jess plays with style and emotion way beyond her years. I'm 54 and I've seen a lot of talent in my life. She is this good now. What will she be like when she really gets it down? Jess is working with the right people. Since I discorved the Jam Tracks studio I have been introduced to one after another great guitarists. I'm so happy with Jam Tracks for finding thes guys and promoting them. They are all great!
I have to consider all dislikes trolling. She is stunning, hypnotic, inspirational, fantastic and absolutely amazing talent. Pure Jewel, All the best Jess! and thank you for presenting her to the world. This world need more of her kind.
Good Goodly Moodly! What am I hearing, seeing & feeling here? She is an alien from another planet. Tone, pitch, tune & phrasing is perfect. Wow Wow! Keep Jammin! Enjoy Life!
I don't know what to say........."unable to speak, a temporary result of shock with a some strong emotion". Jess you are amazingzing! Can't wait for more........ *big smile*
I think this is an amazing performance and you need to watch it at least 4 times. In any order watch concentrating on the left hand, the right hand, the facial expressions to include the zone she is in, and then watch the overall performance. I can understand why Guthrie Govan and the Aristocrats were blown away by Jess.
Jess is great. I thought about her when someone was mentioning room 335 and I thought about Jess. I hadn't realized how much time has gone by. So came to see what she is up to. Fantastic talent.
I have tears in my eyes too, such talent so young. But it amuses me how so many of these comments applaud or critique her technique and skill. People, she's not reading a score or playing Guthrie note for note -- this is her interpretation, her improvisations on this song. She's an artist. They're her notes, this is far more than gifted technique, this is genius.
today i stumbled across Jess Lewis the first time through Rob Chapman and man, im just so overwhelmed with mixed emotions. im like wtf . and she's so stunningly gorgeous
On a peine à croire qu'une jeune fille de cet âge puisse jouer avec la maîtrise tout en finesse d'un vieux briscard !C'est assurément un vrai guitariste, qui mérite d'être connu, reconnu, promis à un bel avenir !
Jess already mind blowing us with her guitar/bass skills. wait until she complete her performance with singing, and another new rising star will conquer world attention.
Unfortunately you will never hear music this good on the radio that's why it's only kept to a small amount of people who combed TH-cam and found this stuff some of the best musicians are on TH-cam and I can't believe it this girl is just wonderful
Un commentaire en Français, pour l'exotisme: ça fait plus de cinq ans que je l'écoute, et je ne m'en lasse pas: de la musique pure superbement interprétée avec une sureté dans le timing, les licks, les nuances, l'expression des phrasés. Hutchings est bon prof, mais de son côté elle est une élève de rêve. c'est vraiment bonheur.
'Tell ya ... I grimace normally when I hear (read) when someone declares unequivocally that they just heard the best guitarist in the world on you-tube. After a listen, (because you're curios), the thought comes that they've lived in a tree-house for years and have heard no more than 3 or 4 guitarist since they been down. 'So awesome it's scary. If I stayed 17 years of age- listened & practiced,everything the great guitarists ever put out for 200 yrs. I wouldn't get close 2 this. No.1- 4 sure!
I look forward to watching your career with interest Jess. So young and you are already a super talent. I wish you all the best with your musical endeavours and hope to hear an album out soon!
Marco Minneman sent me here - he dedicated it to you at the Brighton Aristocrats gig. You're absolutely superb and quash once and for all the 'hands are too small' myth. Just incredible, wish I'd have been able to buy you a drink tonight!
Wow, wow, wow!!! Absolutely fantastic sound and what a talentuous guitarist. Today it's rainy in Belgium, she brought back sun in my life. I love this guitar and this guitarist!!!

what an angel jess lewis is on that guitar , never get tired listening

That’s exactly it. The ear is everything!
This is probably the most impressive guitar performance I ever heard. She's not just playing this most complicated piece flawlessly, she's puting a groove in every note as well. How does one remember a piece like this anyway? This is hard in so many ways (odd timing, hybrid picking, fast staccato runs) and she makes it look... effortless.
Anyone else notice how smooth and efficient her right hand technique is? It's as much fun to watch as her left hand.
I'm with you on that. Her right hand technique is as good as I've seen. She makes it look so easy.
She's like sweeping all the time, it make it sound so smooth... That's I think It's economy picking, she's really good.
Dante it’s a combination of raking, alternate, and economy picking techniques, and she’s really good at all of them, as well as her sweeping. She’s just one helluva articulate player.
Guthrie said it all in that last quote. Bloody brilliant!

my inner metal head so enjoyed those crunchy chuggy chords at the end hahah

Wow 10 yrs. later hasnt tarnished one bit. Great job Jess.

I don't know what to say........."unable to speak, a temporary result of shock with a some strong emotion". Jess you are amazingzing! Can't wait for more........ *big smile*
Jess ..your accents are Simply incredible and heart felt.... Your got Wes and George wrapped up in there..... When are you in concert
Agreed. I was an alternate picker for years and switched to hybrid picking and never looked back. She does it so effortlessly.
I think this is an amazing performance and you need to watch it at least 4 times. In any order watch concentrating on the left hand, the right hand, the facial expressions to include the zone she is in, and then watch the overall performance.

ive been watching this girl, shes getting better as time passes. very nice. Guys, we have no excuses.
I want to see her come out with an album. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Incredible player!!
Jess is great. I thought about her when someone was mentioning room 335 and I thought about Jess. I hadn't realized how much time has gone by. So came to see what she is up to.

One of the favorite's of the Aristocrats album. As always, she nails it.

You have a real God-given talent Jess! Hope to see you Live, one day!
The resonance on that semi hollow strat sounds great!!
Jess Lewis is the best guitarists I've heard in a long time, in any genre. I'm happy that a friend sent me a link to one of her videos. :-)

Every time I hear this girl, I hear Jess. Sublime.

It's really nice to see the comment section of a female guitarist's video about her playing for once, instead of the usual classless behavior.
