Well, thanks for reading and leaving your comments, n.f.thomas! Heart were huge when they broke in the late '70s. Many girls wanted to be like Nancy back then. Yes, Kaki King is good. REAL good. She's mesmerizing to watch. Hard to believe all that music is coming from one guitar.

Hey, zuurg! If there had been room, Mary Ford, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Cordell Jackson... This list could go on and on and on. :)

Bonnie and Muriel Anderson for sure, kayaxeman. Thanks for your suggestions. There are indeed more talented female guitarists than most people realize. It's good to bring their names to the forefront here.

You're right, gypsyblues73. There are many more female guitarists breaking these days, and we have the ladies who came before them to thank for kicking down the door. Thanks for the links to Jocelyn Celaya. Good stuff!
