I remember that time I got banned from Gretsch Talk
loads of middle aged fat Americans were posting pictures of semi nude models with Gretsches and making cringeworthy comments
i post one picture of me naked with a stratocaster and I get banned!
its not like it wasn't covering 'the bits'

Pics, or it never happened.

Trust me you don't want that ...

Oh yes we do!  

Don't say you weren't warned ...
this earned me a 2 week ban ..

I'm glad they invented frosted glass

Well as we're on bassists Melissa Auf der Maur (who also played bass for Courtney Love/Hole)

It's not contentious, I find it hard to believe someone living in the 21st century would actually hold this view.

Carol Kaye. 

Nita Strauss.

Lita Ford.

Orianthi.

Nita Strauss totally blew me away when I saw Alice Cooper a while ago. And I don't even like shred guitar.

Alnico

Emily Hastings.

Look at how much she enjoys what she's doing, just like Nita Strauss when she's playing, huge smile and that look in her eyes.

Chuck Garric, Alice's bassist told her to slow down, and play rock guitar rather than shred guitar. She listened.

Talking of other types of female musicians...  Have you ever seen Karen Carpenter play the drums...  This clip is just remarkable

Even in this current running thread you'll see there's a load of women playing guitars these days:

Nita with Courtney of Iron Maidens doing their thing

Slartibartfarst42

I can't honestly say I listen to many female guitarists but I don't see any obvious reason why they can't be every bit as gifted as a male guitarist. Those girls from the Iron Maidens are fantastic and I've long been a fan of Orianthi.

as a variation on this theme, i was thinking about fixing up an old banger guitar tomorrow & decided to watch some stwemacs before bed.

chelsea clark - shaping a neck.

I was amazed when I first discovered that Karen was a drummer! It might not be very rock n roll but Karen's voice is just heart breakingly beautiful to me
