Her voice is what annoys me the most (not just the lyrics). I think of all the female artists to come out at that time and in that sort of genre is Joan Osborn (though not a guitarist to my knoledge). Have any of you heard some of her live stuff? DAMN that woman can sing.

Hmmm . . . I'm not real big into the pop culture thing.

Can't say I have any idea who Joan Osbourne is.

But speaking of vocalists, Sarah Brightman is a darn fine one. It amazes me how she can sound like an opera singer one second and then switch a whiney "Britney" sounding voice the next. It certainly gives her songs a unique flavor.

Joan Osborn... "What if God was one of us?"
Remember now?

Anyway, the rest of her stuff I've heard is better.

No, but Raskolnikov was on the subject of vocalists. I'll try to keep it to guitar players only.

Hey, how about Jewel.

I think chicks take up the violin if they inherit the shredding gene. Violin's cool too but why don't more play guitar?

best female guitarists I've heard of are:

Jennifer batten - Stunning rock guitarist reminiscent of vai and henderson at times but pretty distinctive in her own right.
Galina Vernigora - a stunning classical guitarist who played at a local "arts centre" spot in my home town which really is in the middle of nowhere. Apparently Rak wrote a classical guitar piece and had to wait a few years for someone to play it right.. Galina.
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?

Ida Presti was a classical player that even impressed Segovia, but as to why aren't their any women ( Jenifer Batten is apparently a freak of nature ) who really play Stunner Rock Guitar is a mystery, must be a estrogen vs testosrone thing?

Which would induce the hypothesis that when a PMS bitch reaches menopause, she has the potential to match riffs with Ted Nugent! :D

Natalie Merchant used to have a female guitar player (lead) in her band who was very good. She played on the Tigerlilly cd, the one that had all the hits on it.
