For folk/pop guitarists, I don't see how they can leave off Joan Baez as a trailblazer and I would also rank Phoebe Snow higher than most of the guitarists on the list. And Liz Phair on the list? I've seen her in Chicago a couple of times and she seemed so uncomfortable on the instrument, I'd be surprised if she could even tune a guitar. The list doesn't specify genre but comedienne(?) Charo studied classical and flamenco guitar as a kid with Andres Segovia among others. I saw her on some morning show a couple of years ago, and though she seemed a bit rusty, she still played a respectable rendition of Ravel's Bolero... and technically, the most proficient female guitarist I've ever seen is Canadian Liona Boyd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQ1YCKqBEN0 - --- morayati@email.unc.edu wrote: > I thought some of you might be interested in this - > it's a direct > response to Rolling Stone's male-dominated 2003 "The > 100 Greatest > Guitarists of All Time," featuring quite a few Ecto > names, and writeups > on everyone listed. > > https://venuszine.com/articles/music/features/2575/The_Greatest_Female_Guitarists_of_All_Time > ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.

I haven't heard her album but everything I've read sounds incredibly promising. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2008 21:02:50 +0100 From: Yngve Hauge Subject: Re: Greatest Female Guitarists writeup I find it rather curious that I haven't heard of so many on the list. One I don't see there that should have been there is Judy Collins - being classically trained and all. I would personally have included Ane Brun as well. - -- Yngve ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2008 11:45:42 -0800 (PST) From: Tim Jones-Yelvington Subject: Re: Greatest Female Guitarists writeup Second the befuddlement re: Liz Phair.

I am!! > And even if you're not: throw some recommendations my way! Come to the MPress party at Soho Lounge on Saturday afternoon from 12:00 - 5:30 pm. Lineup (in order of appearance): * RGB * Mieka Pauley * Amy Speace and the Tearjerks * Jay Clifford * The Kin * Rachael Sage & The Sequins * Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers Other than that, I'm planning to check out Christine Fellows, Johnette Napolitano, DeVotchKa, Sia, and (ohpleaseihopeicangetin) Dolly Parton. I dare not make any further plans, since every year I end up having to run around doing work-stuff and end up missing most everything I'd intended to see. :( - -- =============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth =============================================== hear at the HOMe House Concert Series http://hom.smoe.org =============================================== ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V13 #417 ***************************
