So, I guess women must really suck at playing guitar...
Interesting you should bring that up. Crissie Hynde was fretting about this issue on an interview I saw. Her point was that it isn't that a woman couldn't become as good as a man a guitar, it just that not many women will sit and do nothing but practice the guitar to the extent that say Jeff Beck did. The guy was either playing guitar in public or he was home sitting on his bed playing for hour after hour. A women may become a great concert pianist but chances are her family had her playing from the time she knew she had fingers. As for the guitar, young females are not made to learn it to the extent and in the numbers that they do with the piano. A solution could be to impress upon the public to force their young girl children to play guitar and stand over them for hours while the other children play reindeer games, but this is a cultural impossibility. I think young boys will see the guitar as a method to get what they want and ,with that belief, sink all of their free time into it. In conclusion, women could be just as great as any man but should probably start younger because that "sexual" motivation isn't a motivating factor. I could be wrong.
I've never been accused of being a sexist... soo here ya go...
Joan Jett (& The Black Hearts)
Ann & Nancy Wilson (Heart)
Stevie Nicks (solo, Fleetwood Mac)
Christine McVie (Fleetwood Mac)
Sarah McLachlan
Susanna Hoffs, Debbi Peterson (The Bangles)
Melissa Etheridge
Charlotte Caffey, Jane Wiedlin (The Go-Go's)
Alanis Morissette
Sheryl Crow
Joni Mitchell
Joan Baez
Kate Bush
I could go on I guess... It was not intentional to make (my) list all male ... just turned out that way... I bow if I had offended
asian:
wtg to Touch O' Death's Crissie Hynde of The Pretenders contribution...
Ralph:
Wait a second, Kate Bush and Stevie nicks aren't Guitar Players!
Nicks does play guitar... I've seen her pluck an acoustic at a concert in Dallas a long long time ago... same with Bush... the wording guitarist didn't specify that it had to be electric. Nor that it be their main instrument of choice... to me anyone who plays is therefore a guitarist.
While the two song birds don't normally perform with a guitar they do play the instrument. It depends upon the song.
BTW, thanks also for your claification that only a few women actually dedicate themselves to the level of guitar study that men do. In a way it's the same with Martial Arts that you will only find a few (women) who put in the dedication like men do. More power to them as it helps break the stereotype. If more women would study ma (and more men stop being **** holes to women) the world just might be a wee bit better.

You forgot the greatest woman guitarist of all time
Bonnie Raitt
By the way this is a list of the greatest guitarists. Anybody who sits on stage and stums a few chords may be a guitarist, but usually doesn't qualify to be included on a list of the GREATEST guitarists. I know this brings up the issue of what the criteria are for "greatest"; as stated in the first post the criteria is concenssus.
I personally would only pick out
Joan Jett
Nancy Wilson
Melissa Etheridge
Sheryl Crow
Joni Mitchell
Lita Ford (guilty pleasure)
I'd also add Tracy Chapman

Charo is a classically-trained guitarist and is actually really talented. She played at the Aladdin the last time I was in Las Vegas.

Andy Summers is the guitarist from The Police. That band has always been a Trio. Sting-vocals, bass; Andy Summers-lead; Stewart Copeland-precussion.
BTW Stewart Copeland is a very well respected drummer that has played with many great artists along the way.

Very true. I have the self-titled album from Oysterhead - Copeland, Trey Anastasio from Phish, and Les Claypool from Primus. Pretty good stuff.
Wasn't Copeland touring with Manzarek and company with this new Doors thing? I think he's not with them anymore. Any idea what happened?

As usual differing attitudes and lots of money. Not to mention Ray Manzarek has a record setting ego.

Thank you much sir. :asian: I kept saying to myself that it was Andy Copeland for some stupid reason.
And being a drummer I think Stewart Copeland is a fantastic drummer. The Police rock. Thanks again for refreshing my dead brain. :asian:
