Female Guitarists

[Whoa Nelly]

When lists appear for guitarists/bassist etc it is dominated by blokes (Hendrix, Page, Clapton etc). Any suggestions for ladies that are due a mention?

Joan Armatrading and Suzi Quatro?

[Milvus]

Bonnie Rait

It is a male dominated genre at the moment

Thts not to say there arent some good female guitarists

Well, Deirde Cartwright springs to mind, Gail Anne Dorsey has played bass splendidly with Bowie for many years, Nancy Wison (Heart) can play a bit....(see 'Crazy' on YouTube), saw Girlschool live in 1985, they could all play, agreed about Bonnie Rait, saw her live about 12 years ago, good slide player......tum tee tum tee tum.....sorry, that's it!
