This isn't a thumbs up performance, it's a standing ovation performance. The first piece she played it's almost absurd. What a privilege to listen to this!
This is Great you can feel it in your Soul. She's a Gift From GOD I have a guitar acoustic Electric, Spanish antique And Pink Stratocaster. She's my Teacher Now 💯💯💯💜⏳

@@christieleneejimenez6793 The first time i saw an artist making music this beautiful with finger-tapping style, was Stanley Jordan playing live at Jazz Alley in Seattle, WA. I have been in love with the style ever since.
Opening on harmonics and tremolo…..I immediately got chills. I am so glad I stayed for this whole performance. No…actually this made my entire day. What a beautiful incredible piece, I cannot even fathom having this talent.
I can’t imagine why you would give this a thumbs down! Maybe the music isn’t your cup of tea but her playing and technique are great. Why bother to crap on a hard working artist just don’t comment if you didn’t care for the music.
One she's a woman, two it's a acoustic guitar, not a electric guitar. That's the standard of guitar playing according to these teen boys these days. Like Jack White I guess.
@@kenturley1735 no, not one reason. There may be other reasons one of them being the lack of musicality to it (the first piece). I didn't downvote this, just trying to say that not everything boils down to jealousy. Back in the day even Rachmaninoff was criticised for much greater pieces, so why everyone became so vulnerable these days.
Because of people like Jon Gomm and Antoine Dufour...this girl is very good, but there are people out there who quite honestly blow her away. The "fingerstyle guitar champion " title might be what some are reacting to because she wouldn't even make the top 5 if you brought the best out there to compete. Check out Jon Gomm. The song "Passionflower" ....its what got me into this amazing style of acoustic guitar!! Cheers
As a musician myself I have to say music is an extension of our soul. You have a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing that with us. I could listen to your soul for hours. I can see in your video that you are very resolute when it concerns your music. Your body language and expressions tell it all. You are passionate. This is what music is all about. You are beautiful.
Awesome she is so full of energy and she plays from her soul. Saw her tonight at The Sophia in Sacramento,CA and the entire audience gave her a standing ovation. You really must see her in person. Is a performance you won’t forget.
Her explanation of how she develops her fingering, works with unusual rhythms and tunings is so valuable, so generously shared. Thanks for posting this.
Having labored 10 years trying to master finger style I feel like I can appreciate the technical challenges better than most. But really, it's all about the sound and feel, and she's got that in spades. Inspiring.
I've always told you that you would be a Star! I'm really happy that everyone can now see you for the Artist that you’ve always been! Hope that life continues to bring you all the JOY that you truly deserve... 🤩
Wow. Your fingering style is phenomenal. But, your music is inspiring. On its own. Your vehicle is unique, but your message, the music that comes from you, is beautiful. Artistic. Emotional. Special. Those are the only words I can come up with. I've been playing guitar and singing professionally for over 40 years. You just kicked my butt. And I'm better for having experienced you. Bravo.
I teared up the 1st time I watched this... thought I was going keep it together..... but I didn't hold it together 2nd time either... I have been robbed all my life, then I found this music touching my soul on all levels. I'm 41, never thought that would be possible 😁Thanks again for making my mind and heart live.... I truly appreciate your art
The skill is amazing, but the dynamics, voicing, movements and emotion makes this awe-inspiring music. To have such skilled technique coupled with such musicality is incredibly inspirational. Keep bearing your soul in the song!
There's a whole lot of genuine talent and ability out there. I could type a list a mile long. You just have to look for it. I don't mean that to take away from her playing, which is obviously quite good. Reminds me of Willie Porter a little.
I love the soundscape she creates. I've never heard anything quite like this before... She uses all the possibilities of the guitar and adds a little of herself. Nice. That bruise on her arm is worrying though. Classic.
Her music is transcendental... it literally moves you. While laying in bed and listening to this I couldn't help but smile and my feet just kept moving. No wonder she won a championship with that song. AMAZING!!!! Wish I could play like that.

Thank you Christie for sharing this extraordinary talent here on UA-cam to delight your fans and new listeners like myself. Thanks.
Omg...I've never seen anyone play this type of finger style tapping acoustic guitar any better than Christie Lenee! She actually makes love to the guitar as she plays!! She's most certainly such an amazing talented artist! I could totally listen and watch her beautiful pieces and incredible talented techniques all day!
In a venue called The Parish, in New Orleans, was an artist named Andy McKee. He could play guitar and harp guitar. I bought every CD he sold. Also when he returned, I made the trip to hear this young man. Best show in the state ! ! Also caused me to buy a nice guitar and start playing . That's music for my Soul !
An extraordinary excellent artist.. producing music in relation to a painting? Wow! May your talent be known to more people and share this amazing artist's love for her craft. Go, Christie!
After being a professional guitar player for over 40 years and having listened to thousands of guitar players over the many years of my life I now have a new favorite guitar player. Absolutely amazing playing skill and compositions.
Babba, I bought a nice guitar that I had no idea how to play......It's the artists like this guitarist that inspire and educate me.......These creative minds are so incredibly valuable to we the ordinary.........
@@brkele Thank you for the suggestion. Stephan Rak, in the linked performance I am including, says, "So simple." Then he shows us..... ua-cam.com/video/ofg6AwjSUJU/v-deo.html
wow! Amazing! And she's having so much fun playing. To be able to put so much of oneself into the music and become one with the instrument, now that's truly the highest goal of any musician, and she does it so effortlessly. 50 years of playing and I've never come close to how relaxed and effortlessly she expresses herself.
Absolutely fantastic this is what your call playing from the heart it is joyful and deeply spiritual thank you for that great performance may God bless you

I can see in your video that you are very resolute when it concerns your music. Your body language and expressions tell it all. You are passionate. This is what music is all about. You are beautiful.
There have been millions of exceptional musicians who were/are pieces of shit, from mozart to malmsteen.
Truth ❤
Now that's "playing" a guitar. Pure expression of joy and curiosity and exploration. Very inspirational!
What a beautiful approach to our beloved guitar. She's a wonderful artist.
Awesome she is so full of energy and she plays from her soul. Saw her tonight at The Sophia in Sacramento,CA and the entire audience gave her a standing ovation. You really must see her in person. Is a performance you won’t forget.
Noooooo how did I miss this??
Her explanation of how she develops her fingering, works with unusual rhythms and tunings is so valuable, so generously shared. Thanks for posting this.
She is the best musician I have ever seen.
Her fingering, huh?
Yes Uhhhh. So generous?
Shes just ripping off Justin King. Look up Knock on Wood, Justin King, hes been around since 90s.
@@mattysee24 we all stand on the shoulders of Giants
I’m so impressed. You’re a teacher, a student, an artist, a musical instrument unto yourself. Your guitar work makes me feel.
Beautiful! You look like you really enjoy making it as much enjoyed listening!
That's how music should be played, with sheer joy!! Thank you, Christie.
Having labored 10 years trying to master finger style I feel like I can appreciate the technical challenges better than most. But really, it's all about the sound and feel, and she's got that in spades. Inspiring.
Beautiful!! The playing is beautiful too, love how you incorporate the harmonics. You are absolutely amazing. God bless you...
Grew up on Fahey, Kottke and Hedges. Christie, you are on a fret board all your own, a cloud all your own. Glorious!
Hear, Hear!
Same here! I even learned several of Kottke's pieces but.....ain't no way I could begin to play THIS! Just unbelievably beautiful and creative!
This is why I love acoustic guitar. Beautiful harmony!
Thank you Christie Lenee. It was amazing. Love and Blessings to You.
Brilliant! very beautiful music and a lady's heart! Thank you for sharing Christie!
The entire video needs to be listened to. There is some power and range is those fingertips. Bravo!
i absolutely loved it even though im hearing impaired , a set of head phones helped, i cant believe 641 people had thumbs down, this is pure skill

Marvellous.... the music is IN her....the guitar lets it out. That’s what I can see in this performance. Nothing but admiration! 👏👏👏
Fantastic,so much feeling coming through those hands. Thank you
Stunning innovative talent! Thanks and congratulations on you accomplishments.
The skill is amazing, but the dynamics, voicing, movements and emotion makes this awe-inspiring music. To have such skilled technique coupled with such musicality is incredibly inspirational. Keep bearing your soul in the song!
Baring her soul, not bearing. Of course, it has no bearing on her abilities.
@@beltonian Thank you for correcting me. Please excuse my ignorance.
@@stephenjohnston7545 You're a good sport; it's a common mistake. Ignorant? No way! Not if you're listening to this music!
I was ignorant regarding the correct spelling of baring. I should probably read and write more and listen to music less. HAHA
I love that THAT is fun for you, Christie. Tickled my old broken down but still willing heart good!
Christie, I really enjoy your music and special talent. A extra treat was reading the comments below. Entertaining...
How inspiring. I'm headed to my guitar now. Beautiful
That was such a moving set of songs and an equally inspiring breakdown. Thank you so much ❤️
How nice in this world of X factor and the like, to hear someone with genuine talent and ability.
There's a whole lot of genuine talent and ability out there. I could type a list a mile long. You just have to look for it. I don't mean that to take away from her playing, which is obviously quite good. Reminds me of Willie Porter a little.
नमस्ते आप अद्भुत क्षमता वाली सरस्वती जैसी है

Absolutely gorgeous! I play guitar, but can only dream to create such a nice piece. Amazing!
Wow , absolutely amazing and nothing else needs to be said, thank you for posting this video 😎
I am just getting back to my guitar playing after having a stroke this young lady says it all.love Alistair

I'm a retired musician and you just brought tears to my eyes thank you you play beautifully
I hope it caused you to come out of retirement!
Amazed, only wish I could be at one with my guitar like this. Totally in tune with your guitar and abilities. Top top top work Christy
First time I ever heard of you was today. You're awesome!! Keep playing!!
Her music is transcendental... it literally moves you. While laying in bed and listening to this I couldn't help but smile and my feet just kept moving. No wonder she won a championship with that song. AMAZING!!!! Wish I could play like that.
Great playing and thanks for sharing how you create / practice your ideas & technique, very cool!
The 1st piece totally gave me John Butler "Ocean" vibe. Digging both. Well done !!!
I observed the same thing
I’m so glad I came across this. Listening to the first one made me smile from ear to ear and second piece brought me to tears. Bravo
I really enjoyed watching her explain her music. She seems very cool and amiable, like she would be fun to just hang out with. Thanks Christie!
Encouraging my daughter to play, such an inspirational event for us both. Thank you !

Tapdancing on the neck of the guitar. Very impressive.
Wow Christie Lenee. Thanks for that. I appreciate it so much. I danced.
And shared to all my trees and bamboos on a boom box. Thay say thanks too.
She looks like she is having such a great time. Love it.
Beautiful and haunting, love her use of percussive sounds too. I am now a fan..... Inspired to start working on my finger style again.

Practice more and correctly.🙂

She has amazing technique, but music isn't about technique ... its about music ... and the tunes are pleasant enough, but a little boring if not marvelling at the dexterity on show.
