    I had a lesson from Jennifer about a year or so ago, probably more. She is an absolute master of her instrument and a fantastic person. Saw her at Namm 2018 too.

    I grew up watching her as one of the pillars of the Michael Jackson prime days. What a goddess of rock legend. Great to finally 'meet' her. Thanks for the video.

    Lee, this is where you SHINE!!! You come across so natural, your passion shows through. The retail end isn't where you are most comfortable and this shows why. Thank you so much for getting Jennifer Batten on, same level for me as Steve Vai. Her guitar is absolutely stunning.

    Wow, it's Jenny! - I told you! =D
    This woman was probably my first guitar-influence through MJ's live shows. I saw this big-haired leather/latex-clad mean-faced woman rock a guitar alongside my hero, and it made quite an impression, without even knowing I'd pick up the guitar as a teenager. - I also met Jennifer last year, she was doing a demonstration and not only was her playing top-notch, she was also very kind having talks with everyone personally, signing some stuff as well, including my old Ibanez Roadstar... Couldn't ask for more in a guitar hero and general human being. 💛

    I went from an 11th grade Georgia high school to GIT Summer session in 86 and Jennifer was so great. Classy lady. She let me help carry her stuff once after a clinic and ever since I've just been so proud that I got to meet her. She's a big star to me.

    Jennifer is such a hero for me. I saw on her instagram where she was doing a clinic at Anderton's about a month ago and was so hoping we'd get one of these. There was a tapping lesson in an acoustic guitar magazine in the late 90s she did she called the "chordal capo" where she'd make a chord and tap notes above it. I pull it out of the bag of tricks every so often. She's very technically up with the likes of Vai for sure, but entirely different. Headbangers Hairspray and Tribal Rage (Scotsman in the Caribean is a favorite) were seminal records for me. she also insprired me to look at Digitech muli-effects. I use lots of things but I have my rp500 when i don't want to take an amp and tap dance. Boss has sent Gt1000s to so many youtubers for free. They can spare one more for Jennifer I think. Send her one Boss. She'd be biggest advocate you for it you can imagine.

    Love Jennifer she is a Stellar player, HUMBLE to the core, super talent she is. I met her at a workshop in Hawaii and when she tried to explain things we all had glazed eyes so she just played and dropped our jaws as well. At the end she took some question, and was asked what her dream was and she teased waking up in in the morning to towels with the initials JB & JB. (Jeff Beck & Jennifer Batten) incredible witty sense of humour.

    To be honest, the only musicians I knew of in that band were Greg Phillinganes (sessions) and Rickie Lawson (The Yellowjackets/sessions). The only reason I knew of Jennifer Batten was because I played guitar. Like her, I was also into R&B and Fusion because, well, that was where it was at for me with regards to guitar. Nice to find out her back story, it was an incredible listen. Thanks for doing the interview!

  • @joethompson2910

    This lady fascinates me... Ive played for 50 years and can so relate with much of what she says & I really dig listening to some of her stories....& I too have been bit recently by the “steam punk” thing, hahaha.. Ive always loved synth & guitar effects pedals & I have quite a few..great fun....wish I lived next door to this talented woman since Ive got so much in common with her...& it would be fun hangin out with her.. not to mention that she seems so down to earth, Ide really love to take some lessons from her... but Im sure she’s busy as shit.
    Thanks for having her on your show!

    Not one spot of the interview was boring or reaching for info..in fact, it almost seemed not long enough, and I would have asked much of the same questions. Wasn't a big fan of MJ's, but had a friend who had her 2nd album..and have been a HUGE fan ever since! Also even as a then struggling poor guitarist (aren't we all?) I bought a capo off her site not long after they started selling stuff on it..and still proudly use it to this day. Only disappointment in this vid is I didn't get to go to her show that night!
