I don't think she's that great looking. Maybe 6-7 out of 10. Cool bass sounds though.

Sick puppies are an alright band. And personally I don't care how she looks (she's got charm), but good for her if she's rockin the style she wants! People call me a jerk cause I wear a fancy black shirt and a tweed fedora when I play!! XD

Does anyone else feel that music's been sexist as hell lately? Gender stereotypes are almost completely prevalent, being that girls can only sing or play bass/piano, and really shitty musicians are recieving more praise than they ought to because they're women, for example Orianthi, or most any other female lead guitarist.

I sorta agree, can't stand Orianthi for the simple fact that she wants to be all "oh look I can play a guitar solo" in an annoying POP song. grossness.
But then there is Skillet, one of my favorite bands. Guitar player is a girl (Korey Cooper) and drummer is a girl (Jen Ledger).

And I love Sick Puppies...lol at all of the "hot" comments.

First of all, great song by an amazing bassist. I've seen SP live a bunch of times and they never disappoint. I only wish I didn't get rid of my bass so I could rock out with this video. Emma's out there doing her thing and she rocks at it!

hey the girl from Orianthi was good enough for Micheal Jackson, and good enough to play with Steve Vai. if shes good enough for them shes good in my book.

oh, and for all the negative comments on here, just give it a rest, ok so you're not a fan, big deal, stick with the musicians you like and we'll do the same, no need to down-play someone's talent just because you don't like their music.

Patrijz wroteude... I see guitarist do it all the time, what is so special about it?

What's so special is that she does it fastwhile she is tearing up the stage, and she makes all those other guitarists and bassist look like amateurs.

Emma, you're amazing! I hope that I see more videos like this in the future.

And as far as the other comments go, it's sad that most of the people on here have to resort to negativity or "you're hot!!" comments. Looks have nothing to do with talent, and as the saying goes, she's got more talent in her pinky than you do in your entire body. So try to contain your jealousy and go troll some other websites.

If you've ever seen the way she jumps/moves all over the stage while doing it....you'd see it was very special.

I think she is overrated in every aspect.. What's so amazing about her bass skills? Pretty mediocre if you ask me.. Rarely have I heard a unique, tough to play bassline in Sick Puppies music.. Just sayin

sykguitaryst :

why so many people come to this video if they hate sick puppies? OMFG A GIRL PLAYING INSTRUMENTS!? BLASPHEMY! and this is like one of the only bass lines that makes sense anyway.

Kamakazi20012 :

Awesome bassist with an awesome trick with the pick! I wouldn't of ever thought of playing a bass like that...and I've never heard of Sick Puppies before. Guess I'll be looking the band up as I really like this lick. Makes me wonder what other tricks she can do

I managed to finally hear the song in question. Very original to me...I've never heard anything like it before. The song is pretty good too. I WANT HER TO AUTOGRAPH MY BASS

amberwithwings :

If anyone reading this actually wants to know a hint if they are trying to play this song, instead of just commenting on how hot she is, then here goes:
On the SPWC fourms, Emma said that she puts higher gauge strings on her guitar. Like when you buy apack of strings, it comes with five strings. Emma used the low B on her low e, the low e where her A is supposed to go, and so on.
