| Get her together with Tal Wilkenfeld (Jeff Beck's bassist) and you've got a guaranteed music-video hit, no matter the music.

Location: Texas | I watched/listened to the video/song in MusicMishka's original post and agreed with others who felt she was more "contemporary pop" than "guitar goddess." With her appearance, pop video, one-word name and connection to Michael Jackson, I dismissed her as "not my thing" and stopped there…
…then I saw a mention of Tal Wilkenfeld, (who I think is the most gifted bass player to come along in a long, long time,) plus a rumour that they might work together. Now THAT prompted me to go listen to some more of Orianthi's material, and I must apologize to MM for jumping to conclusions; Orianthi does seem to have some pretty solid chops and a lot of potential, which is not real obvious in the first video posted.
…and Tal & Orianthi are both Australian, where are the comments from our friends in the Southern Hemisphere?
Anyway, I'm convinced enough to listen to more, so I just ordered her CD ($7.99 on Amazon.)
Thanks Mike, |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Okay... Before y'all start lumping Orianthi in with Miley Cyrus, she was playing with Carlos at NAMM 2005 , four years ago.
Now that she is getting put on the tube with Carrie Underwood and at Michael Jackson's funeral party doesn't make her a total sell-out.
The economy sux, you play with whomever you can!
Jimi Hendrix played on The Monkees tour, and was happy for the gig!
Some of y'all might have that kind of talent, but she plays alot better than I can.
So I ain't gonna accuse her of playing bubble-gum just cuz she's a cutie-pie. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | I tend to try to be open and I listen to a lot of different styles/players...I am hard to impress and so much of it doesn't "float my boat" so to speak but this girl caught my ear...After listening to her earlier internet postings including her work w/Carlos at PRS events and NAMM, I bought her earlier CD "Violet Journey": hard to find and a bit expensive but shows off her talent in a great way...but this newer CD hits the home run...I will say that IMHO she is poised to become the biggest rock guitar sensation in many years...her new CD "Believe" is just incredible...every song shows off her soloing ability and for the most part the songs are very cool and just flow one to the next (great production work)...some of the songs take me back to a younger time when I was going through these same situations; but that just shows these situations are timeless. She has found a new way to express those timeless situations...
I look forward to the comments of those who have the new CD coming...
I'm thinking any project in conjunction with Tal Wilkenfeld would be a major musicial/concert event... |
