    I say she’s the coolest legend by far. No attitude, no star trip just a genuine person.. how refreshing. She is the best, number one of all the female guitarists!

    I will never forget the first time I saw and heard Jennifer playing on MJ's stage. She played with such ELECTRIFYING precision with TOTAL attitude that complimented MJ's level of perfection. I was blown away by the thought of how and where does he find people with these amazing SKILLS? Thank you Jennifer... Cheers!!

    "That's what it takes, to have those little goals, or huge goals, in your mind and be going towards it. A year later, maybe you're not there, 10 years, maybe a lifetime you're not there, but all the different paths that you take along the way are where you're supposed to be." - Less than 10-minutes in and there's a profound moment of wisdom. Jennifer Batten is incredible!

    I went from an 11th grade Georgia high school to GIT Summer session in 86 and Jennifer was so great. Classy lady. She let me help carry her stuff once after a clinic and ever since I've just been so proud that I got to meet her. She's a big star to me.

    Wow, it's Jenny! - I told you! =D
    This woman was probably my first guitar-influence through MJ's live shows. I saw this big-haired leather/latex-clad mean-faced woman rock a guitar alongside my hero, and it made quite an impression, without even knowing I'd pick up the guitar as a teenager. - I also met Jennifer last year, she was doing a demonstration and not only was her playing top-notch, she was also very kind having talks with everyone personally, signing some stuff as well, including my old Ibanez Roadstar... Couldn't ask for more in a guitar hero and general human being. 💛

  • @brianlewis8457
    @brianlewis8457 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    The wife and some of her friends went to see a Michael Jackson tribute show a few weeks ago. When she got home, she was saying that a good guitarist was in the show ( she isn't into guitars ). " Yes, I'm sure they were very good " was my response to humour her and get some peace and quiet. She then showed me some footage she'd filmed. "That's Jennifer Batten " I exclaimed. "The actual real Jennifer Batten playing in the Wycombe Swan! WTF!" What a legend. Can't believe that she saw her play and I haven't. Great video. I often don't make it through an hour interview in one go, but this was one of the few exceptions ( managed it with Albert Lee as well ) Great interview with a great guitarist.

    Jennifer did a masterclass I attended in my city back in the 90’s. I remember she was an absolute professional and giving some very interesting insights of her career. She was very down to earth and lovely. I still can’t believe I attended this event when I talk about it.

    @shadowsong1 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Jennifer is such a hero for me. I saw on her instagram where she was doing a clinic at Anderton's about a month ago and was so hoping we'd get one of these. There was a tapping lesson in an acoustic guitar magazine in the late 90s she did she called the "chordal capo" where she'd make a chord and tap notes above it. I pull it out of the bag of tricks every so often. She's very technically up with the likes of Vai for sure, but entirely different. Headbangers Hairspray and Tribal Rage (Scotsman in the Caribean is a favorite) were seminal records for me. she also insprired me to look at Digitech muli-effects. I use lots of things but I have my rp500 when i don't want to take an amp and tap dance. Boss has sent Gt1000s to so many youtubers for free. They can spare one more for Jennifer I think. Send her one Boss. She'd be biggest advocate you for it you can imagine.

    Love Jennifer she is a Stellar player, HUMBLE to the core, super talent she is. I met her at a workshop in Hawaii and when she tried to explain things we all had glazed eyes so she just played and dropped our jaws as well. At the end she took some question, and was asked what her dream was and she teased waking up in in the morning to towels with the initials JB & JB. (Jeff Beck & Jennifer Batten) incredible witty sense of humour.
