Best female guitarist?

[fono22]

In the world of guitar, there are many species of guitar player that roam the vast deserts of ampland.... however....

Although in the world of guitar, there is more than enough long hair, eye make up and spandex tights, I fail to think of one stand out female guitarist.

Hopefully I'm not attacked by the evil mythical beast of the guitar world (the feminist), I would like to see if anyone knows of any amazing dishwashing, iron doing, pie cooking, house cleaning shredders.

If so ... lets make a list and pay tribute to our lesbi... I mean our female counterparts in the guitar world.

aka The champion shredder on the Ibanez Champion (1979 model)

I was going to say your mom but that was the flute, not the guitar, and she doesn't iron that well. Thats a pretty bad attitude you have there.
Jennifer Batten, Bonnie Rait, melisa Etheridge, Nancy Heart, C.C Deville, there's a few. chef21

do you mean Katrina Alfie. yeah, she's crazy good. she could kick my butt. although it's not my particular style, that doesn't stop her from being a good guitarist. anyone else?

Liona Boyd. Charo.

Yeah my mum plays the flute well... and the triangle actually.

Who's the basist from APC? She's good

[fono22]

Chef21 was obviously somewhat offended my by original post... I'm not sorry. I thought it was clear I was only poking fun. I don't argue on forums anyway.

But yeah I am ignorant about the situation, all chauvanist jokes aside, I think it would be great to recognise the girls of the trade more often. I'd love to be outshredded by a hot blonde babe from california... who wouldn't?

[JESTER700]

The thing is, some of the reasons guys "get into" guitar don't count for girls.

"Getting chicks" (whether it works or not)
"Rich rock star" - it can happen for girls, but it's more rare, so the perception of the possibilities aren't as strong
"I'm the best" - girls don't have virtual **** measuring contests about everything the way guys do.

Of course there are tons more reasons guys play, but the above certainly increase the numbers.

The Great Kat is just stupid imo. It's like a femenist Malmsteen or something (... OH DEAR GOD!!!)

I'd have to go with J. Batten

+1 with Batten, and Raitt too. :-)

As for the Great Kat, I think she's a good player but her attitude sucks. In her Guitar Player interview she disses a lot of things for, well, no good reason. A bit like Yngwie, but I think that she crosses the line a bit.
