All the women stated so far are on top my list. One of my favorites is Patty Larkin. When I first started to learn the guitar I saw her in concert, man, what an inspiration.
Kappa Danielson!!

Permalink Reply by Blues Agent on April 6, 2012 at 10:52am I slipped onto the stage, way back when, and asked Nancy Wilson (Heart) for a date. She refused, so my fav defaults to Bonnie Raitt as a guitarist, but not singer.

Gilllian Welch and Joan Baez. Ms Welch is one heck of a song writer/singer/guitarist.
