His wife was a lyricist for Warrant.

She was also a baker by trade. From my understanding she made mad desserts.

In terms of actual guitar it was Antonio de Torres Jurado. He invented what is considered the modern guitar as we know it. He invented Palm Muting after his wife told him to shut the fuck up at 2AM in the morning.
