Dare I say that Nancy Wilson is the reason that many millions of women picked up the guitar. Don't think anyone else on this list has the same kind of influence that she does. Not to mention her versatility and songwriting and singing ability. Only Bonnie Raitt and Joni Mitchell are in the same league.
Solid list but.. Nancy Wilson should have been #1 HUGE Omission- Chrissie Hynde - The Pretenders Great including Poison Ivy but where is Joan Jett? Thanks for including #19 The Donna’s kicked ass and modeled themselves after The Ramones
Does she even know how to play lead (where Lita Ford can)? I think Fischer and Lease played most all of the lead tracks for Heart. Not taking away her talent, but this list is based on guitar playing ability, not songwriting.
Nancy Wilson is the best female guitarist. Her influence on women to become guitarists, her body of work says it all. Think about when she started. There were only a handful. She was like the female Jimmy Page. Rock on Nancy! She’s still a bad ass!
There's the problem - Jimmy Page wasn't an analogue of a female guitarist - he built on many other male guitarists that went before him but also added his own innovations and creativity that makes his work so recognisable. A post feminist world needs more women to have the confidence to create from a feminine muse works that add to the repertoire rather than trying to emulate male style and expressions.
I'm glad you put Charo on this list. Many people know her for her comedy but a lot of people don't realize that she's also a very talented musician as well.
I don't agree, Ms. Mojo. Lita Ford is awesome, but she does not, by any stretch of the imagination, hold a candle to Nancy Wilson. She just doesn't have the range for it.
Kanami Tōmo of Band Maid will make this list someday. Look up songs like “Blooming”, “YOLO”, “The Non-Fiction Days”, “Choose Me”, and “Real Existence”.
Fuckin' love Band Maid. Japan has excellent female bands such as Mary's Blood, Aldious, Disqualia, Lovebites to name a few. Definitely worth a look if ya haven't heard of em.
Nita Strauss, what a woman, what a guitarist. I wasn't prepared for her when I went to that Alice Cooper concert. One of my best concert experiences ever.
Would've been nice if they had included some of her actual playing like they did everyone else. Seen Halestorm live 3 times. Each time has been amazing
Lzzy Hale is a top notch vocalist but as a guitar player she is very average. When I think of a musician that is both a top notch vocalist and top notch guitar player I think of Samantha Fish.
Very cool to see Poison Ivy making the list. She had a tone like no other. And that attitude... But yeah, I'd put Nancy at #1 over Lita. A few others who also deserve mention: Samantha Fish Wata (from Japanese doom band Boris) Suzi Gardner (L7) Gretchen Menn
It's a tough call, Sister Rosetta Tharpe vs. Nancy Wilson; Nancy isn't about flash, style, shredding, or sex, she's completely serious about music, but she manages to remain feminine without the corset and leotard look of many... besides, how many other female lead guitarists wear dresses on stage? AND, if and when she retires--if she actually DOES retire--she will have earned a well-deserved #1 female guitarist ranking, to say nothing of already being in the top 5 of all guitarists, male OR female.
A list that finally got it right. So many lists have Joan Jett at the top and Lita Ford at the bottom or not on at all. Good to see you guys giving Lita the respect she deserves.
@@brianmiller1077 on the contrary sir, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was one of the pioneers of rock and roll. Her unique combination of gospel and blues helped to form the sound of rock and roll in the 1950s. Between you, me, and the fence post, if I was a teenager in England in the 1960s and I heard that this show was coming up, I would make it a point to see it.
I can't believe you missed Anna Popovic, who is active now and has been playing out for over 15 years, she is international and plays every style but her blues knows no limits.
Wow, the female guitarists are in Japan. Miyako and Midori of Lovebites. Kanami of Band Maid. Saki and Hazuki of Nemophila. Try Lovebites songs Winds of Transylvannia, Scream for me, Edge of Tommorow. Band Maids songs , Onset, Blooming, Puzzle. Nemophilas songs, Raitei, Oiran. These women aren't just great female guitarists, their great guitarists period, their some of the best guitarists today, period. Jimmy Page went backstage with Band Maid, did a photo with drummer Akane, calling her one of best drummers since Bonham. Lovebites singer Asami sung with Lizzy Hale on stage, with Halestorm, as Lovebites took their name from Halestorms song Love Bites, so do i. Midori playing at NAMM, so much better then Strauss with Via, or Orianthe who were ther.
I wasn’t expecting to see her name but Emmylou Harris is very gifted with several types of guitars. Like Dolly she can really extract the emotion in a song with her guitar. Lucinda Williams is quite good as well.
Your male guitar player list was fairly typical, but this list really uncovered some people I'd never heard of or would never place on this kind of list. Congrats to everyone who composed it!
That was a fantastic list. I thoroughly enjoyed it and you’ve inspired me to start checking out the back catalogue of a lot of these artists. Well done guys.
I met Jennifer Batten a few years ago at a music camp that my college did and she was one of the guest musicians (that same week we also had Albert Lee and Victor Wooten), she’s such a nice person and had some really cool stories from when she toured with Michael Jackson and I also got a picture with her and she also signed my guitar strap (which I still have on one of my guitars). Aside from that I was also happy to see Joni Mitchell on the list (since I’m also Canadian) but I personally would’ve put Nancy Wilson from Heart at number one, she’s super underrated in my opinion and her playing (especially that intro to Crazy On You) is just insane
Great Vid...some awesome women out there! I do think you need to check out some of Melissa Etheridge's live performances though...pretty sure she deserves a rank among these women other than just an honorable mention....the woman rocks an acoustic!
I've been listening to a lot of female Jrock groups and there are a lot of very good japanese female guitarist. 2 good examples are Lovebites and Bandmaid
Good list. I would propose, however, another list focused just on female guitarists in Japan because the talent pool over there is overflowing these days almost to the point of absurdity.
I had the great pleasure of meeting Jennifer Batten back in 2004. She was the most down-to-Earth, chill, real musician I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. The South Park fun was epic!
I wish Kanami Tōno from Band Maid had made the list! Her ability is amazing! Maybe if you make a 2nd part you can include or if you do bassists MISA from Band Maid is a great choice
It’s telling that in looking for someone to play Eddie Van Halen’s solo in Beat It, MJ couldn’t find a man alive to do it, but he found not one, but two women who could! 🤘
@@eh-ronlocke7164 I'm thinking of the weird al video for "Eat It" where the guitar player finishes the solo and then spontaneously combusts like a drummer for Spinal Tap.
someday myiako watanabe,midori tatematsu from lovebites and kanami tono from band maid will be on a similar list like this one not forgetting captain mina taicho from fate gear !
Glad Jan made it on this list, she’s a personal hero to me. She may not be the most popular guitar player but her band’s music music really speaks to and for me. She and her rock sisters help me deal with depression and cleared my mind where I felt sane again. I find her solos to be unique and true talent.
You missed about a dozen Japanese women guitarists who are as good as anybody in the business but continue to go under the radar outside of Japan. Oh... also Tina S...
Great list. But I think the lead guitarist Kanami Tōno, and their rhythm guitarist Miku Kobato from BAND-MAID needs a look. Also their Bass guitarist Misa is god tier.
As a person that grew up seeing the same people featured on greatest guitarist of all time list and wondering were the woman at it's nice this list exist.
I got to witness an incredible solo number from Nita Strauss when I went with my dad to see Alice Cooper perform at the Queen Elizabeth theater in Vancouver when he won tickets from the Paranormal tour in 2018. She is definitely well deserved to be on this list.

@@jeffjackson9679 Yes, Nancy is an amazing guitar player. You maybe haven't seen any of her live work. Lita is amazing, too.

Overrated... sorry.
I'm glad you put Charo on this list. Many people know her for her comedy but a lot of people don't realize that she's also a very talented musician as well.
I definitely didn't. And I happen to like Flamenco guitar too.
I had no idea! I was literally staring at the tv mouth wide open
Also glad to see Charo on the list!
I don't agree, Ms. Mojo. Lita Ford is awesome, but she does not, by any stretch of the imagination, hold a candle to Nancy Wilson. She just doesn't have the range for it.
Yes - thank you!
Lita Ford sounds like every other mediocre metal player out there, Wilson is excellent however.
I vote for Janice - Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem.
❤️
Vicki Peterson of the BANGLES is also an awesome guitarist♥️
Love the Bangles ❤️❤️❤️😻
Same goes for the lead guitarist for the GoGo's she can shred it with the best! 🎸🎶
Tracy Chapman should have been featured here. Her acoustic, flamenco style playing on Fast Car is awesome.
I love Joan jet and the black hearts😺♥️🇵🇪

Samantha Fish IMO is a better vocalist, guitarist and singer songwriter then Joan Jett and Lita Ford.
@@midnight-2021 Samantha Kicks Ass !
Joni Mitchell as an honorable mention? What an insult! She should be in top 10 easy.
Joni should be on every list
I’d honestly put her at #1.
Wendy Melvoin (from Prince & the Revolution) ABSOLUTELY should be on this list.
YESS 💜
To many hair band scratchers on the list. W.M. Can play with the best of them.
Joni Mitchel should have been on the main list, also missing H.E.R., Joan Armatrading, Kat Dyson & Liona Boyd!
Brittany Howard too
Samantha Fish
@Ian Turner Susanna Hoffs is strictly a rhythm player. Vicki Peterson was the guitar fire behind the Bangles sound.
Kanami Tōmo of Band Maid will make this list someday. Look up songs like “Blooming”, “YOLO”, “The Non-Fiction Days”, “Choose Me”, and “Real Existence”.
Fuckin' love Band Maid. Japan has excellent female bands such as Mary's Blood, Aldious, Disqualia, Lovebites to name a few. Definitely worth a look if ya haven't heard of em.
@@sage_redgrave91 Agreed! Love all those bands and Bridear, Fate Gear and TRiDENT , but Band-Maid is still my first love!
Kanami should be on the list today. :D
Watchmojo will never include an Asian
Yes! Thank you! I scrolled down to make the same reference. I would also include Midori and Miyako from Lovebites. Japan is killing it right now.
This is a great video. I didn't know about most of these people. Glad they uploaded this.
You're welcome! Glad to hear it!
Nita Strauss, what a woman, what a guitarist. I wasn't prepared for her when I went to that Alice Cooper concert. One of my best concert experiences ever.
She's such a badass with monster stage presents. The two times I saw Alice, I was more transfixed on her than the props. Well her and the drummer.

Charo is an underrated Guitarist.

So is Juliana Hatfield Three
Charo's skills are so high on guitar she should #1 easily
"Oh, I say something naughty?"
She studied with Segovia.
Nope, got it wrong. Nancy Wilson should ABSOLUTELY be #1.

Nancy Wilson is on a whole other level
I cannot thank you enough for including Lzzy Hale, she’s my idol! And really kind and great with fans. An icon in the making.
She was my 63 birthday gift from my daughter. Apocalyptic
Also Jackie Venson, Anna Calvi, Marnie Stern, Jenny Tuite, Courtney Barnett...
Yes I was looking for Anna Calvi on this list
A list that finally got it right. So many lists have Joan Jett at the top and Lita Ford at the bottom or not on at all. Good to see you guys giving Lita the respect she deserves.
Nancy wilson 👍
I was so worried you would not include Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
It's not necessarily Rock and Roll, but she ROCKS!

No Samantha Fish either? Both Anna and Samantha should have made this list and also didn't even get the honorable mention list as well.

Most of these girls are much more than just great players. I know Kanami writes most of the music for BAND MAID. They are great composers as well.
This list is seriously pure gold.
Very informative, however there are a few gems from Japan as well, like from their all female bands, like Band-Maid.
So glad Lzzy Hale is on here. Great list
🤘
Lzzy is a BEAST! And one of the few singers I've seen in person that sounds exactly the same live as recorded.
This video is approved by the Spanish Inquisition
I wasn't expecting that
Yeah
Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition!
Where’s the comfy chair?
And it's here to stay!
Where is Kanami Tono????? Brilliant player and composer!! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
The BEST!
I wasn’t expecting to see her name but Emmylou Harris is very gifted with several types of guitars. Like Dolly she can really extract the emotion in a song with her guitar. Lucinda Williams is quite good as well.
I thought heart would be first... good list regardless 👌
that's what I love about music, there's always something new and exciting to discover
Honorable Mentions: Susan Tedeshi and Chrissy Hynde

Absolutely agree...

Kanami Tōno (Band Maid), Midori and Miyako (Lovebites) are we a joke to you.

Not a competition there buddy

They are both great.
Lita Ford can't even hold a candle to either Joan Jett or Pat Benatar.
Coyotehater, I must agree 100%. Every time I watch the video of Heart singing How Do I Get You Alone and Nancy rocking that guitar I get goosebumps
Yet again Elizabeth Cotten gets forgotten in the history of guitar. That’s a crime.
Agreed. A whole style was named in her honor. She was self-taught and had a unique way of playing.

Memphis Minnie is one of those "your favorite guitarists, favorite guitarist" that often gets overlooked.
Great female guitar players! Still, I'm missing Wendy (The Revolution).
Joan Armatrading? Seriously, not only a great guitarist, but an incredible lyricist and singer.
1. Nancy Wilson
2. Tharpe
3. Joan Jett
4. Bonnie Raitt
5. Morgan lander and dolly Parton
Forgot lita ford
Sharon Isbin is the most significant miss. Was delighted to see Charo and Bonnie Raitt among the others.
I got to witness an incredible solo number from Nita Strauss when I went with my dad to see Alice Cooper perform at the Queen Elizabeth theater in Vancouver when he won tickets from the Paranormal tour in 2018.
She is definitely well deserved to be on this list.
"I went to a party last Saturday night...I didn't get laid, I got in a fight'.' One of greatest lyrics every sung.
That ain’t no big thing.
Good list, and as a rhythm guitarist myself... Lizzy Hale rules.
I’m so irate that Joan Jett didn’t make the list!
really shes the steve via of woman guitar but we didnt know??
Or even honorable mentions
The impact Lita had was huge obviously (along with all other women here) but honestly I feel like Nancy Wilson was better overall
Where’s Susan Tedeschi?
