I was looking for Jeff Beck and I found YOU JENNIFER BATTEN. You were chosen because you were the best, the most outstanding! Brilliant Guitarist! Cynthia Allen McLaglen
What do Jeff Beck and Michael Jackson have in common? Incredibly exquisite taste in recognizing the immeasurable talent and sweetness of Jennifer Batten.
I have the great privilege of seeing this Queen of the Guitar recently, shes 67, one year younger than me and she is PHENOMENAL..... Jennifer YOU TRULY ROCK...... Plus you are a nice person ❤❤❤
Such a world class legend!!! You can be proud of yourself and thank you for giving us so much wonderful music and memories. Amazing tribute :) WE LOVE YOU JENNIFER!!!!!!!!!!
The thing on top of the neck is for finger tapping to dampen open strings..... she is a master at finger tapping. I give her much respect. she has really worked hard to get where she is she puts most guys under the table technically. Kudos Jennifer! (saw her play with Jeff Beck ) I've been Playing for over 40 years I know how much time goes into developing this caliper of playing.
I had the privilege of meeting Jennifer at a guitar clinic. She said she had touring and recording obligations that she had to fulfill thus she was unable to tour with MJ. Basically she said "no" to one of the biggest touring acts in the world. I also recall that she said her dream gig was "to be rhythm guitar player for Jeff Beck" ....well 10 years after the fact...guess what!!
Holy crap, yes... I thought I knew about all cover of human nature... This one is just fantastic, so unexpected. Through many years and concert she share many life time with Michael, I love this cover... Very personnel, free, yet respectfyull of the song. Thank youn Jennifer
I saw her with Jeff Beck in 1999. There’s a DVD available of their performance on that tour in Japan. She was remarkable, finger tapping melodies and playing all the synth voicing with her guitar too.
Freaken awesome ..... Proud to have know Jennifer Batten while out in CA.... She's just a great of a person as she is a musician. Much love and respect . Keep jamming Jennifer , "smoooove like a kendoll" ;0)
Jennifer is one of a kind female rock guitarist. A very talented guitarist with a similar style/attitude to 'there's no out of bounds' way to express herself on guitar somewhat similar to her close friend Jeff Beck.
it is just so amazing your precious guitar was stolen and then you got it back after one day!! Abandoned under a tree in Portlandia......the little city with a kinda big heart...
Jennifer Batten is far better than Orianthi overall. More creative, Orianthi just technical, doesnt have depth. Hopefully with more experience Orianthi will have more depth later in her career.
Bingo! Orianthi is a skilled technician but Batten is a true musician with amazing expression. I know a few guys that can shred up a fingerboard, playing along with someone, but cant string three notes together without instructions.
+Angie Ng Lets avoid comparing her with Orianthi. Both are amazing in thier own styles and it's not a competition. I understand people have thier preferences though and that's fine.
I agree. I just listened to both performances, (live versions of Beat It) and Jennifer's definitely better. She should have played guitar on some of Michael's studio albums.
...she has seen and done things that some people would kill to have just been there she played in front of some of the largest concert crowds in the world.
ok, obviously you are not aware about the fact that this lady toured with Jackson and was his lead guitar player for three world tours. The guitarr part by the way was written by Van Halen.
lots of Jeff Beck and Steve Vai influence in here. Nice job. I always wondered what happend to Jennifer Batten. Seems that Orianthi gettin the attention after Michaels passing got Jennifer some well deserved attention also.
