Finalist Arielle's performance of "Pretty Little Adriana" with Vince Gill at Guitar Center's OnStage Finals, recorded live at The Mint in Los Angeles, CA on September 28, 2016.
so rare to find anyone playing guitar on you tube that actually has feel, tone and taste and isnt just "shredding" or copying someone else..... a new favorite.
Idk how old this girl is, but to be basically channelling Jeff Beck at her age is just remarkable! She's an old soul and I mean that in the best possible way!
I love the tone and sounds she is pulling from that guitar I sure am glad she hasn't let her influences over take her playing and I'm glad I can I hear own flavour and not just Becks, Vai and Eric Johnson she has wonderful note taste it totally suited Vince's song
Always come back to this video after all these years, what an amazingly gentle and unique style. Someone said Jeff beck but she’s got an added feminine touch that is just killer.
I'm a fan of Arielle...Her album is just fantastic...This is one of my favorite new young guitarists ... my ears are feeling blessed...love the bluesy vibe she brings to this...almost like Dwayne Allman...Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes feel...just wow!
I love the way she left spaces to allow the melody in her playing to live and breathe and not detract from his playing, but rather add beauty to it: some really beautiful sounds, and not all stage-y and over-played.
holy crap... so I just ran across Arielle today and was looking to see what she sounded like. And I swear to god the first thing that popped into my head around the 2 minute mark is 'she plays like Danny Gatton'. And... nobody plays like Danny Gatton did. Wow.
This is like perfect. From recording quality, rhythm section is gorgeous sounding, Vince's vocals so silky, and Arielle's guitar is original and emotional.
Beautiful beautiful tone and phrasing on both the lead and maybe especially on the backup lines during the vocal parts: perfectly complimentary, never crowding the vocals but adding a distinct sparkle and sweetness.
Wow! Talk about human expression! That was gorgeous. Time to put the Pauls and Teles away for a little while and drag the 1994 Strat Plus and 1992 HM Strat out. Very inspiring.
This is a amazing performance of Arielle very Song-serving, creative in sound, lots of feeling. Love it. Maybe its´s because she is a woman she didn´t win.
my aunts first child was named Adriana and she died suddenly at the age of 4 years old. she complained of an ear ache, she took Adriana to the emergency room where she died about an hour later from a rare type of medical phenomenon that happens to young children. it was such a shock, me and her was playing just the day before in the front yard, she looked up to me a lot and thought i was cool. my aunt was destroyed by this and it tore apart her marriage. she cries to this song a lot, i try not to think about it too much. but i keep her picture in my safe locked up. sorry for the bad vibes but its all i could think about when i watched this video. i wish i couldve focused more on the guitar but just couldnt.
Just looked her up after her Rig Rundown and this was the first video. Very unique playing, nice slinky fills with a killer tone. With the bar she's very Jeff Beck-ish. She made a great song very interesting. You go girl!!!!
Thank you Andertons for letting me "waste" a Sunday morning checking out some guitarist I've never heard of before. You could have just randomly name dropped Vince Gill or Eric Johnson, but talking about live Queen concerts was the way to go.
OK, her guitar may be not the most beautiful model I've ever seen, but she plays ! No stupid demonstrations, every note is appropriate. And the sounds she makes, fit so well with VG's voice, so she is very refreshing!
