Watch Mrs. Smith perform Chris Isaak’s slow-burning classic Wicked Game on an Ibanez JEM

Guitar-shredding “grandma” Mrs. Smith has garnered a devoted fan base over the past few years, in particular for her recent spanking of Metallica’s Kirk Hammett in the first-ever “wah-off”.

In addition to likely being the first version of the slow-burning soft-rocker performed on an Ibanez JEM, the video also reveals another first – Mrs. Smith creator David Hanbury getting into costume, including full makeup, hair and dress, as his beloved alter ego.

You can check out Mrs. Smith’s take on Wicked Game above.
