Lita Ford,
Bonnie Raitt
KT Tunstall
Nancy Wilson - Heart
Donita Sparks - L7
Joan Jett
Crissy Hynde

As for how sexy or cool it would be to date a Guitar Goddess... heck I dunno.. what's a date? Only dates I have been on have been with my computer, my guitar, and GMC lately

any other names come to mind anyone?

This is an intersting question because there are tons of women who play guitar out there. I could add Melissa Etherbridge, Sheryl Crow, and Jewel to the above mentioned list just to name a few. A lot of female country artists play guitar as well.

But if your talking about famous riffs or solos (which most people would want to learn) performed by women I can't think of any right off the top of my head. It's true men dominate the guitar world but all the above mentioned women are fantastic guitar players and as a female who plays I look up to the Joan Jetts, Chrissie Hydes and Sheryl Crows because they are Rock Chicks and I respect that they are kickin it with the big boys.

There is a crazy chick named "The Great Kat" and she can shred her ass off. She's into goth and a lot of weird shit but she can hang with almost anyone.
