Editor's note

Orianthi, the guitarist who played for Michael Jackson

An Australian guitarist who moved from blues competitions to arena stages and her own rock songs.

If you want to hear her balance guitar work with a solid tune, try Rescue Me. For something earlier and punchier, According to You still holds up.

She was the guitarist Michael Jackson picked for his This Is It concerts, a rare spot for a young player. Songs like Rescue Me and Impulsive show she writes sharp rock hooks around her playing, not just solos. That blend of technical skill and pop sense keeps her music grounded and direct.

She started in blues competitions, which led to the Jackson gig in 2009. After that, she put out her own albums like Believe and Heaven in This Hell, and later formed the group RSO with Richie Sambora. More recent tracks include Better With You and Rescue Me.
