Girl-guitarists?

[Inisfail]

Hi!

In the 80's there were several good girl-guitarists. Vixen, great band, and Lita Ford were some..

But nowadays? Is there any hard rocking girls who acctaully know how to play nice penta solo?

Jennifer Batten all the way!

The best classical guitarist I have ever seen was a woman - Gallina Vernigora.
The Great Kat was a classical violin player who turned guitarist. I haven't heard her since long before I knew anything about guitar but I think I remember her being a proper shredder.
Jennifer Batten's one of the best guitarists in the world, I can't believe she plays support for Jeff Beck - she kicks his ass so hard.

Even worse... Jennifer Batten once supported...(gasp) Michael Jackson!!!

Gabriela of Rodrigo Y Gabriela, 2 Mexican ex-metal players, now living in ireland and playing latin-based acoustic stuff. Check out 'Re-foc'.

Also Bonnie Raitt. One hot slide player.

Cool! Is there more girls in this forum? Strange, I just had some stupid thought that everyone here were guys.. Sorry girls!!

I also have to go with Bonnie Rait....that chick oozes blues. Also one of the best slide guitarists around.

Avril :( I keep thinking about her.. her guitar is so low slung its beautiful!

[sambob]

Jennifer Batten definitely.

For several months I was a big CC DeVille (guitarist from Poison) fan, simply because I thought he was Jennifer Batten (the resemblance is uncanny).

hahahahaha

Raitt is awesome... she inspired me to start play guitar. Its said that I really can't think of any others, but oh well. Gender doesn't matter anyways.

I saw Jeff Beck warm up for Sting a couple of years ago, Jeniffer Batten was in his band. I was pissed off they didnt play Hi Ho Silver Lining :( But it was a great experience, hes pretty amazing.
