Michelle Jacquet DeSevren Branch (named after the song "Michelle" by The Beatles) was born in Phoenix, Arizona, United States on the 2nd of July, 1983. She is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist.
She received a guitar from her parents for her 14th birthday. Three years later, after sending a demo tape to Hanson and opening for them on tour, had signed a deal with Maverick Records. She subsequently had four top ten hits. The inspiration for writing her own songs can be found by The Beatles and other bands.

Michelle Branch Love me like that (Feat. Sheryl Crow) Hotel Paper 2003 Maverick Records submitted by [email protected]
hey!!! Michelle is one of the skilled female guitarists at all time!!!!her plucking techniques reached out like this below in the intro part while singing at the same time when I saw her performing live!!!! Her fingers are 5 times faster than me and She's very impressive!!!!!! She's already palying guitar at the age of 10.
Try this guys!!!! This is one of the most difficult MB songs especially this intro, Like Michelle did, her right hand uses 3 fingers the thumb, index and middle. Most of the pluckers only uses thumb and index that's why they play this intro very slow. Michelle is just simply talented just her fellow female singer/songwriter like Avril Lavigne!!!! This song is one of the best collaborations at all time!!!! like Sheryl Crow as the female rock star legend, nothing else could be better than this song more than just a pop rock!!!!! it's closer to PURE ROCK!!!
