Yup, Bonnie Raitt gets my vote.
You guys wanna hear a track by a chick which absolutely rocks? I mean, as in it just shakes your fucking speakers and kicks ass into the next century?
Well take a listen to this. It’s by an Aussie chick who most of you Americans won’t have heard of, but this bird jas got more oomph than a passing 10 mile wide asteroid.
Her name is Sarah McLeod and she’s the guitarist/songwriter/lead singer for a band called “SuperJesus”. Man, this song has got some chunk to it.
This mp3 is 5.3MB in size and do the right thing - if you dig the track, buy the album.
Bonnie Raitt isn’t just a great female guitarist, she may be the best slide guitar player around.
Female guitarists - well, this list has the same issues as the Rolling Stone list - what criteria? what types of music? etc…
In terms of any style - Emily Remler was a highly-regarded jazz guitarist before she took her own life. Classical players like Sharon Isbin are well thought of. As previously mentioned, Jennifer Batten can shred and play power pop, and Sheryl Crow has musical chops for days…
Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi, Liona Boyd
I’m agreeing with Charo. I don’t think anyone on the list can touch her. Even bittan.
I guess this would be a good time to remind everyone that Charo studied with Andres Segovia.
Oh! How 'bout Liona Boyd? As long as we’re mentioning classical guitar and all…
hey Boo Boo, that superjesus mp3 sounds like edie brickell & the bohemians’ what i am. but in a good way.
I downloaded the SuperJesus track. Thank you Boo Boo Foo for enlightening us; a very nice rockin’ song.
I have to go with Bonnie Raitt on the OP’s question.
