An observation (sour grapes if you will): There is a black band of something wrapped around the neck between the nut and the first fret - presumably this is to stop open strings from ringing, which suggests to me that the player hasn't got their string-damping sorted.
This one though is INCREDIBLE;

This leaves me cold. I appreciate it from a technical point of view, but didn’t enjoy it.

Musically? I lasted less than 30 seconds on each of the above vids. Awful gain on the first. And i find the virtuoso stuff difficult to listen to at best of times. Nothing against Beethoven or Vai, but just NMCoT.
She plays like somebody who focuses on speed over the subtleties that make those pieces of music great. Don't get me wrong, there's definitely a market for that sort of thing, but it's the lack of those subtleties that makes her stuff hard to listen to - using pick attack for emphasis, varying the picking position, vibrato, varying the bend speed etc. Generally-speaking, those are the markers of folk who learned to play much more slowly, and naturally acquired the speed as a by-product of everything else.
I think she's great, I like her playing more than many others in a similar vein. It does strike me that she doesn't seem to have posted any videos for several years, I'm curious to know what she's doing now.
This sort of stuff leaves me cold.
