Jess, you may not consider yourself a shredder, but damn girl, nice job! Clearly you have some history with this song, cuz nobody just up and decides to learn a Steve Vai tune out of the blue and throws in as much feeling and emotion as you've done here. Fantastic!
Wow, what an absolute Sunday evening treat ! This is one of the cleanest, and dare I say, egoless covers of this tune out there. So much respect to you for covering this. You are an absolute inspiration
What I loved about this is that you really made it your own. You imbued the piece with little articulations and phrasing that are entirely yours. Bravo!
Inflections, vibrato and target pitches of bends are great. More difficult than it may seem. Very specific nuances in Vai stuff. The tone is dialed in as well.
More important than the absolute amazing playing, more than the beautiful tone, more than the incredible articulation and dynamics you pulled throughout the entire song, watching you enjoy the playing and having fun is what I love the most. Keep having fun in this journey, you are amazingly and a lovely human being 😊
As Andrew says, no ego what so ever, just musicality and fantastic talent. So many “shredders” just make a noise and gurn...be glad not to be in that camp Jess 😃
When you perform someone else's material it is saying something that needs to be done with finesse and great accuracy after listening to Ms.Jess for a hour or so , my opinion is her ability to play Guthrie Govan and Steve Vai shows really that her capabilities are limitless, Ms.Jess your truly one of a kind and I am honored to be able to listen to your playing without going and purchasing expensive tickets to a crowded show at my age.. thanks again young lady for allowing us this gift GOD Bless
Just extraordinary Jess! Fantastic tone, phrasing and sensitivity to the melody along with some pretty fierce technical skill. I like listening to Seve Vai but I think I like listening to Jess Lewis even more. Cheers from Idaho!
Just recently discovered just Lewis's videos I think she is absolutely marvelous even on this song during the Distortion parts you can still hear the notes clearly she is absolutely a treat to watch I would hope to hear some original material from her
I've never heard another guitarist play the extended list of songs note for note that you have, timing , phrasing, inspiring. Your original tracks have your signature sound, great work!
This was just amazing.. always love hearing you play Jess, your technique leaves me in awe and makes me want to practice more. Thanks for bringing some gorgeous tones tonight.
I loved hearing you play this Jess! You inspire me to try and learn to play it properly. You are the person who made me discover Room 335 (and Larry Carlton for that matter!) and thanks to you I can now mostly play it. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jess what a beautiful playing with feeling from the heart. Your authenticity is giving with sincerity through each note on the guitar. Delightful ! Wow
This rendition sent shivers and tingles round my body. The tight hold that Jess has on the technique to play this song is matched by her judgement in the interpretation. Steve Vai should see this performance - I am sure he would enjoy it.
Wow! You had me hooked in the first 5 seconds with the tone and the expression. Beautiful playing - so much musicality! (and chops too!). And so many little gems tucked in there throughout the song. Love it!
I don't think you realize how good you are... That's not a bad thing at all, it keeps you grounded. Great cover. I'm sure the Main Man Vai would be proud. :)
That was exceptionally well done!
thanks so much! 🙏🙏🙏🎶
@@jesslewisguitar you is amazing ! Congrats !
@@jesslewisguitar Wow, what an endorsement! You're both gods of musicians to me.
Lo que comentas con tal de c0g3r
Playing this legendary song with such limited distortion level was super classic.
Man Steve needs to see this because you absolutely nailed that.
Jess expresses this kind of distortion well. like, her vibrato, dynamics, etc.
Jess, you may not consider yourself a shredder, but damn girl, nice job! Clearly you have some history with this song, cuz nobody just up and decides to learn a Steve Vai tune out of the blue and throws in as much feeling and emotion as you've done here. Fantastic!
The three best versions of this Jess Lewis , Tina S , Steve Vai . All incredible !
"used to be able to play this stuff"?! This performance is just beautiful.
Wow, what an absolute Sunday evening treat ! This is one of the cleanest, and dare I say, egoless covers of this tune out there. So much respect to you for covering this. You are an absolute inspiration
From the first 3 notes I knew you were gonna absolutely nail this (not that I expected any different!!!!) lovely vibrato as well!
thank you thank you thank you 🙏 hope you are well man 🎶x
One of my favorite Steve Vai songs covered to near perfection. One word sums it up easily. "WOW!!!! "
What I loved about this is that you really made it your own. You imbued the piece with little articulations and phrasing that are entirely yours. Bravo!
That was the best version I've ever heard. You have the best feel of anyone I've heard play. Thankyou for letting me listen to such amazing talent
I agree. I don't recall feeling this much emotion in any version, Steve's included.
This girl is one of the best guitarists out there, my god Jess you F'n rock!!!!!!
For The Love Of Jess!
Damn, that was SICK! Amazing tone, amazing phrasing.
So, you basically have pro rock chops and pro jazz chops. Pheeew.
THANKS !!! Lots of love for you.
every time I hear that, I think it's even better
Radical and strong riffs.
Yep... That does it... Sublime girl!
Absolutely Wonderful!!...I love the way you make a guitar "talk"...Shredder or not, your style is just so damn smooth.
The Best thing about it is hidden in the descroption.
learned it when i was 14.
Wow just Wow.
Jeeez, you nailed that tone.
Inflections, vibrato and target pitches of bends are great. More difficult than it may seem. Very specific nuances in Vai stuff. The tone is dialed in as well.
Please don’t ever stop playing guitar. I forgot how good this is.
More important than the absolute amazing playing, more than the beautiful tone, more than the incredible articulation and dynamics you pulled throughout the entire song, watching you enjoy the playing and having fun is what I love the most. Keep having fun in this journey, you are amazingly and a lovely human being 😊
Amazing playing as always. As good as Steve Vai ever played it live. Thanks for sharing.
what a great player ... Amazing
Out of this world!!...amazing playing Jess. 🙏👍
Followed you in here for several years now. You still got it !!!
As Andrew says, no ego what so ever, just musicality and fantastic talent. So many “shredders” just make a noise and gurn...be glad not to be in that camp Jess 😃
Jess Lewis forever ❤🎸
Loved the alternative slides you did @ 2:10, instead of them crazy big bends Vai does.
I actually got to see Steve perform this a solo during a Whitesnake concert. Very well done!
Absolutely brilliant, the precision and each note you played with so much feelings and depth. The real deal in passion. Well Done 👍
wow absolutely stunning performance

I’m crying with tears of joy!

I'm still amazed by how good everything you play is...greeting from a longtime fan!
Just recently discovered just Lewis's videos I think she is absolutely marvelous even on this song during the Distortion parts you can still hear the notes clearly she is absolutely a treat to watch I would hope to hear some original material from her
There’s original material on here on the recent posts..
I've never heard another guitarist play the extended list of songs note for note that you have, timing , phrasing, inspiring.
Your original tracks have your signature sound, great work!
Nice controlled vibrato.
Making it sing.
Beautiful
thank you jess
This was just amazing.. always love hearing you play Jess, your technique leaves me in awe and makes me want to practice more. Thanks for bringing some gorgeous tones tonight.
You are an incredible musician! Excellent job, miss!
amazing!!!! the words that fit this talent, i looked for! but they are nowhere to find!!! keep it up! amazing!!!
A few days ago I try to play it after 10 years and didn't sound anything like this!
Amazing Jess!
Bravo! Truly devestating technique! Performed with restraint which adds a level of maturity that makes this all the more enjoyable.
I loved hearing you play this Jess! You inspire me to try and learn to play it properly. You are the person who made me discover Room 335 (and Larry Carlton for that matter!) and thanks to you I can now mostly play it. Thanks for sharing!
I can't beleive what i just saw and hear !!!
Great job as always!
I have a DK24 too and I'm in love with it.
I love this part 1:21
Divino.
Hi Jess what a beautiful playing with feeling from the heart. Your authenticity is giving with sincerity through each note on the guitar. Delightful ! Wow
Been a huge fan since you were just very young you never cease to amaze me !!
So good, love your tone and emotion! Well done!
I love this interpretation. You are an amazing musician. :)
Beautiful tone and playing!
You inspire me with every upload. I’m a big fan. Keep em coming... 🙌🏽
Stunning
Wow, and what makes it so good besides your playing is that you didn't drown your tone in a slew of guitar effects.
amazing!
I really think you must grow your channel... really great playing and honestly i hope you can be big artist someday. From long time fan.
This rendition sent shivers and tingles round my body. The tight hold that Jess has on the technique to play this song is matched by her judgement in the interpretation. Steve Vai should see this performance - I am sure he would enjoy it.
Jess, this is my favorite cover of this, and you are so good at guitar.
Awesome job. Sounds really good. 👏👏👏👏
Wow! You had me hooked in the first 5 seconds with the tone and the expression. Beautiful playing - so much musicality! (and chops too!). And so many little gems tucked in there throughout the song. Love it!

Listened to it again. You have matured. Wonderful.

Beautifully expressive and emotive, thanks for posting this!
Sounds like for the love of God mixed with whispering a prayer, or vai playing it on the alive in an ultra world tour
cool version Jess, Vai should watch this
This is gold. You gotta keep playing, guitar, bass, whatever...!!! Keep SHINING!
