For about a decade I fancied myself to be a photographer who worked with local musicians. I met a lot of talented musicians but one stood out above the rest. Her name is Juli Morgan. When I met her she was 19-20 years old and was a self taught guitarist. She had been playing guitar for only a couple of years but even then she played better than any other guitarist I had ever heard. Her goal was to be the next Joe Satriani and she played a lot like him. By the time she had reached her 4th year on the guitar she got to open for Joe Satriani. At the end of her set she received a standing ovation from Joe's audience-a rarity I am told. Her vids are all over You-tube should you care to check her out she is now around 40ish. This poor quality vid is from that gig opening for her idol Joe Satriani back in 1994-5, keep in mind she has only 4 self taught years of guitar playing under her belt when she did this back then. (I still brag about her all these years later btw)
