All hail the Queen!



(There are loads of talented guitar players, man and woman. Ivy is in my top 7 in almost any list across nearly any context. Her playing stands alone)

Absolutely - Poison Ivy Rorschach - all hail the Queen!

Any love for Samantha Fish? She does one thing, but I think she does it pretty well.


This tune is pretty catchy.

I would say that many, if not most, guitarists do one thing. Yngwie Malmsteen is the ultimate one trick pony, he just does his trick exponentially better than anyone else.

To the question, Jan Kuehnemund, founder of Vixen is my favorite female guitarist. Died way too soon. I’ve seen lots of live shows on YouTube and she can play.

Good stuff, Wheelhouse. Am I hearing hints of Aretha Franklin in Samantha's voice?

Larkin Poe, two for ones:



And,

Dea Matrona



And one more, Gabriela from R y G:

Love that Dea Matrona busking video. Pretty good advertising for the Roland Cube Street, too! Those ladies are alright!

Nili Brosh. 'Oh, but that's not blues.'

Nanci Griffith.

Oh yes. Nanci was awesome all around. The first time I ever heard her on the radio, it was a very touching song called "The Wing and the Wheel", and I remember thinking at first that I was hearing the singer from the Bangles. My friend told me it was Nanci Griffith, and I quickly became a fan.

I must say, this thread has been an eye-opener for me; there are tons of superb lady players out there, and I appreciate everyone taking the time to post videos and add comments. Great stuff indeed!

Most of those I’d pick are here already, however I’d add Gina Gleason from Baroness to the list.

 

[wulfenganck]

In no particular order:
Gina Gleason (Baroness),
Molly Tuttle,
Megan Lovell (Larkin Poe),
Rebecca Lovell (Larkin Poe),
Mary Spender,
Mary Ford (Les Paul & Mary Ford Show),
Bonnie Raitt,
Roxane Elfasci,
Annie Clark (St Vincent),
June Millington (Fanny).

 

[Wheelhouse]

Good stuff, Wheelhouse. Am I hearing hints of Aretha Franklin in Samantha's voice?

She's a darn good blues player, but she can sing it, too. I don't know where she ranks as a blues singer, but I think she's a power-house performer all around.

I enjoy these young ladies.

She's so talented, and so down-to-earth. And she wields that '52 Goldtop harder than anyone else.
