Actually good female guitarists?

[DanTravis62]

Really? You don't like Boris? I love Wata but she isn't a shredder.

No, and at least for me, that's a really bad example too. I absolutely hate their music, and it strikes me as hipster-y and pretty pretentious.

No offense if you dig it. Just not for me at all.

I said the same thing. And female guitarist have to kinda Bow down to her since she is pretty much the top dog. But yeah she isn't anything special. I pissed her off by saying that her posters for Ibanez look like beer ads or something to that affect. It's like you are a so called role model for young girl guitarist but all your promo pics looks like a stripper

Oh my god that's hilarious

Gina Gleason of Baroness

Fucking killer touch on playing daymn!

Yup, love LoveBites; got all their stuff.

Cyntia shone briefly-but-brightly:

Cyntia - Deep Love Egoism


Cyntia - Flash Strings

Been following Li-sa-X since she was 5. I know talent when I hear it.

If you can give her first solo album "Will" a listen I know you'll be impressed.

Only single she's released so far was with her "commercial" band 2 years ago. Next one's due in a few weeks:

I like this one too...the solo is so "Joe Holmes"...not the rest of the song...more like pop metal...

 

[Monkey Man]

Ha! I almost posted that but thought folks might find the solo a bit rough.

Might as well post one of my fave BAND-MAID® clips.

The thread's about female guitarists, but the bass player's pretty-damned good and the drummer rocks too. Great band. This one has the best riddum-geetar sound of all their stuff I reckon:

I think there are a lot of great female guitar players. Many listed in this thread. That said. Gina Gleason from baroness is the only one that comes to mind that is doing anything I really like...

Same for males. There are tons of great "players". That doesn't mean I want to listen to anything they do.

Gina Gleason of Baroness

Funny, while she was playing at the beginning, I thought wow, this girl looks mean enough to tear my head off. Then when she started talking, she seemed so cute and sweet.

 

[Monkey Man]

Been a huge admirer of Jess Lewis since the was about 16.

She's got "legitimate" feel & musicality. I really rate her. She and Li-sa-X are my fave female geetarists.

I guess with women there are a lot of good female guitarist but not many in bands that are producing stuff. Steph Goyer has some stuff I like but most of the time when I listen to music I don't listen to shred instrumentals

Kirk Hammett

I would say bingo, but she sucks.

 

[Webb]

Fun fact - Gina Gleason and Courtney Cox are both originally from my area and were in a Metallica cover band together called Misstallica. They were actually pretty good.

 

[Monkey Man]

Ahh... so that's where Kirk got started.

Gina Gleason is the real deal. Saw her live with Baroness a couple months ago. Will check out some of the other ladies mentioned in here.

Will check out some of the other ladies mentioned in here.

If you can get your hands on Li-sa-X's first album at 13 years of age in 2018, "Will", I highly recommend it mate.

I'd put that up against any solo-geetar album produced by any other gal here for an easy win.

It's got a bit of everything. Rock, hard rock, metal, prog...

It's time to trigger all the soyboys and feminists and talk about wahmen of the guitar world. Name a female guitarist that's in your opinion on par with all the guys we know.

I'll start and name one: Jennifer Batten!

Batten was ahead of her time!
