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.
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!!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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*
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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 RUclips and found this stuff some of the best musicians are on RUclips and I can't believe it this girl is just wonderful
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
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!
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.
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 !
absoloutly outstanding guitar work , what an amazing young talent she is, only 20 and mopping the floor with most players, i love how well her vibrato works for her. I hope a cd is in the works, even if she just does covers, anything would be welcome, lots of luck to her, even though she won't need it , not with this kind of talent.....
'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!
First time I've seen or heard this amazingly talented lady play, but certainly not the last. I'm totally impressed and couldn't agree more with those who consider her a MONSTER! I read she's only 17 and yet plays Govan, Hutchings, Carlton and the like, as if she were all of them reincarnate. Totally amazing and gifted artist. Just one question to the 24 people who dislike this video: Are you people guitarists, and if so where can one purchase your albums? Anyone else hear crickets chirping?
Even though she's playing guthrie as good as anybody can, she's a fantastic guitarist in her own right. I just love how her little fingers finesse and destroy the guitar like no other. Anyone that says girls can't rock need to listen to Jess.
Absolutely fantastic! She's got to record this for commercial release. And whoever wrote it impresses me too. Amazing piece of music and dazzling performance. John McLaughlin better watch out!
anyone not likeing her is cause they realise how good she is and they arn't .just jelouse of her is a lame excuse , she's one amazing young talent who will be a force to reckon with. Just enjoy her playing, iv'e been playing for around 26 years and love this kids style and feel ,she's just got the gift for sure !!!! Her clip of Room 335 is jaw dropping to say the least.. Play on Jess. you ROCK..
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!

That’s exactly it. The ear is everything!
what an angel jess lewis is on that guitar , never get tired listening

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.

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. :-)
This is my favorite Aristocrats songs and you did a phenomenal job playing it. Such a pleasure to listen to.

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.
Fantastic talent.
Flawless,precise,incredible technique!!!This young lady might as well be one of the best guitarists I've seen of the young generation,keep it up!!!!!!
This is so good it's sick. Nobody on the entire internet can pull this off like Jess.
not true there is an Asian girl who can play just as good if not better
Cool. Post the link.
Peter Thomas i forgot her name but try to search junny
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!!!

Jess is awesome, really amazing. Great touch, great sound and great mastery.
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 RUclips and found this stuff some of the best musicians are on RUclips and I can't believe it this girl is just wonderful
ive been watching this girl, shes getting better as time passes. very nice. Guys, we have no excuses.
Guthrie said it all in that last quote. Bloody brilliant!
You have a real God-given talent Jess! Hope to see you Live, one day!
One of the favorite's of the Aristocrats album. As always, she nails it.
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
This is so amazing.. Technique and feeling in a perfect mix
No words...is so amazing!!
Agreed. I was an alternate picker for years and switched to hybrid picking and never looked back. She does it so effortlessly.
sento di amare questa musicista: grande sound, grande tocco, grande musica e ottima tecnica! complimenti, sei bravissima!!!!!
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!
Lots of talent. Even more dedication and practice and how it shows. Congrats Jess! You are OVER THE TOP!
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.
Holy shit the amount of talent of this young woman is astounding.
I came here from a Lari Basilio video (another great female player from Brazil) Now I am amazed again. So good and so young
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 !
You are an amazing talent Jess, a delight to listen to... All the best.
Fantastic, marvelous, magnifico!!!

Staggering! Such control in every department, great musicality. I could just about manage the pickup switch at 6:44!
Beautiful guitar clean tone.
最高！まったく、どの映像見ても新しくて個性的ですね。若いし女性だしその表現はすごいです。どんどん発揮してください。
I feel I have no more business playing the guitar anymore, and I've been playing it for over half my life. Amazing.
absoloutly outstanding guitar work , what an amazing young talent she is, only 20 and mopping the floor with most players, i love how well her vibrato works for her. I hope a cd is in the works, even if she just does covers, anything would be welcome, lots of luck to her, even though she won't need it , not with this kind of talent.....
She is Amazing , I watched Everything she did and she did it Right . I'd buy her CD!
Jess's playing is always mindblowing.
Un tocco sempre preciso e ritmico!Brava!

Mad props! Amazing young talent.
I could listen to this all day long! a class act!

ich warte auf ein Album von ihr! kann ja wohl nicht mehr lang dauern! Sie kann echt alles von pop bis strange!
Killer playing & riffs, as is her usual...Nice sounds, Jess!!

Wow 10 yrs. later hasnt tarnished one bit. Great job Jess.
Jesus ! such precision and dynamics from such a young talent :)
amazing...perfect
Incredible playing for one so young!
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.
We're all very classy people.
Tony Honeycutt That's The Aristocrats' fanbase for ya ;)
