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?

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.
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?

Even worse... Jennifer Batten once supported...(gasp) Michael Jackson!!!
So. If you throw a cat out of a car window, is it considered "kitty litter"?

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.

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).

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.
