You want to hear woman guitar players, I give two in one ban

Post by Kit »

I remember a short time ago someone was talking about the scarcity of female guitarist, so I give you Larkin Poe. And you are not convinced they can play, check out more of their videos.

I'm really enjoying Hurtling and Beabadoobee, two new bands out of the UK which feature young women playing guitar up front.

I read a statistic (I believe from Fender's research) half of new guitarists are female; that makes sense to me if you consider the amount of women who take up acoustic/are country music fans, but there seem to be more girls/women playing rock as well.

One band I recently got into in the doom/stoner metal genre has a female guitarist; Electric Wizard:

On the other side, Best Coast is a band I've listened to lately; sort of a surf-rock/60s retro thing:

I know she's been posted before but since it's G&L content Marissa deserves another link-

I actually really like Brittney Howard's playing.
Haim's music is not really my cup of tea but I like Danielle too. Outro solo around 3:00.

My additions are kind of on opposite ends of the musical spectrum:

Gina Gleason in Baroness with one of my fave songs and some G&L content to boot:

Molly Tuttle, again with some bonus G&L content:
