I think chicks take up the violin if they inherit the shredding gene. Violin's cool too but why don't more play guitar?

best female guitarists I've heard of are:

Jennifer batten - Stunning rock guitarist reminiscent of vai and henderson at times but pretty distinctive in her own right.
Galina Vernigora - a stunning classical guitarist who played at a local "arts centre" spot in my home town which really is in the middle of nowhere. Apparently Rak wrote a classical guitar piece and had to wait a few years for someone to play it right.. Galina.
