I ALSO WANT TO DISAGREE WITH EVERYTHING SAID HERE ABOUT JENNIFER! FIRST OF ALL I APPRECIATE JENNIFER FOR HER UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL SELF ( WHICH WE ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE, BECAUSE REALLY, THAT IS WHAT WE ALL ARE! ) BUT MANY OF US ARE NOT GIVEN THE TRUE GIFT OF MUSIC, AND THOSE PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO TRUE MUSICIANS? THEY ARE JUST NOT. BUT THEY DO GO REAL FAR TRYING TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK AND SOUND LIKE REAL MUSICIANS. BUT IT DOESNT WORK THAT WAY. EACH OF US ALL HAVE A GIFT, A TELENT, A SKILL SET, STRENGTHS, AND WEAKNESSES, AND WE ARE JUST ALL NOT MADE TO DO THE SAME THINGS. WE ARE ALL CO DEPENDENT AND WE NEED A VARIETY OF SKILLSETS, AND CREATIVITY AND NECESSARY THINGS TO THIS WORLD WE ALL SHARE. SO WE ALL CAN BE ALL THE SAME IN EVERYTHING. HAVING SAID THAT, I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT "MUSIC" THOUGH A PERSONAL PREFERENCE, IS WIDELY ACCEPTED AS BEING PART MELODY, PART RHYTHM AND PART HARMONY. SO "WIDE STREAM MUSIC" MUST HAVE THESE COMPONENTS TO BE CONSIDERED "MUSIC". WHERE IS THE MELODY, OR HARMONY, IN ANY OF JENNIFERS ( OR EVEN THIS GUY JOE DIORIOS PLAYING? ) ITS ALL JUST A BUNCH OF NOTE IN CHAOS.. * WHICH IS WAHT "JAZZ REALLY IS" ) BUT ASIDE FROM THAT, JENNIFER WAS NOT THE "ONLY FEMALE GUITARIST OR MUSICIAN OF THIS TIME! JOAN JETT PLAYS VERY GOOD RHYTHM GUITAR AND WAS PLAYING AT AGE 15 PROFESSIONALLY BACK IN THE 70s! AND LITA FORD WAS PLAYING LEAD GUITAR AND DOING HER OWN SOLOS RIGHT ALONG SIDE JOAN IN THEIR BAND THE RUNAWAYS. BEFORE THEM THERE WAS NANCY WILSON OF THE BAND HEART IN THE EARLY 70s! JOAN BAEZ A FOLK GUITARIST AND SINGER IN THE 60s! AND IN THE 80s THERE WERE MANY FEMALE GUITARISTS THAT LOOKED A LOT LIKE JENNIFER AND PLAYED BETTER. JUST SAYING. JENNIFER HAS BLOSSOMED TO A VERY GOOD PLAYER, BUT SHE WAS NEVER THE ONLY ONE, NOR THE FIRST!
: / JENNIFER BATTEN DID NOT, I REPEAT, DID NOT "GRADUATE" FROM GIT! SHE WENT FOR JUST ONE YEAR! AND, SHE HAS SAID HERSELF, THAT SHE HATED "MUSIC SCHOOL"! SHE LEARNED ENOUGH TO TEACH HERSELF EVERYTHING SHE NEEDED TO CREATE HER OWN UNIQUE STYLE.. AND THAT IS THE ONLY CORRECT WAY TO GO ABOUT PLAYING ANY INSTRUMENT AND MAKING ANY MUSIC! "THEORY" IS THEORY, AND SELF EXPRESSION COMES FROM EACH OF US INDIVIDUALLY, THE MUSIC WITHIN US, AND THE COMMITMENT NEEDED TO HAVE A REAL RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR INSTRUMENTS! THATS IT! ITS VERY NATURAL, SIMPLE, AND VERY FREE! ( AS MUSIC IS INTENDED TO BE )
Jennifer Batten had created her own guitar style. That was so great. And The way oh the techniques of her has been influenced so many electric guitarists today.
