Today is our Day 9 of 12 Days of Guitarists and we are pleased to announce Orianthi as our feature. Orianthi has had a long history shredding on the guitar and is absolutely amazing. She first picked up the acoustic guitar when she six years old and at age 11 she moved on to the electric and the rest is history.
At the young of 28, this Greek Australian guitar virtuoso has led quite a successful career as a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and an amazingly all around talented musician. Many might know her as the guitarist for late Michael Jackson and his ill-fated “This is It “Tour. She went on to not only perform with Alice Cooper’s live band, but her own highly successful solo career.
Orianthi is amazing to watch. She makes it look so easy as she shreds on her PRS guitars. You are completely mesmerized as she displays her impeccable technique. This guitar rock goddess not only plays some bad ass guitar but she has an undeniable charismatic stage presence. You can check out Orianthi in the following video where she performed at the 100 Club in London earlier this year:
Orianthi is currently gearing up to perform for an upcoming gig in Los Angeles on Valentine’s Day. Here is the catch, you might be able to be part of her BAND! She is working with Dave Stewart (co-founder of Eurythmics) on an innovative way to find her other band members. BeMyBand is a collaboration with Dave’s company Weapons of Mass Entertainment and Talent House to find her missing 4 band members. Musicians can submit their video of their best live performance and they may just end up on stage performing with Orianthi. Here are the positiions available:
