Buy at AllPosters.comIn my internet wanderings this week, I came across an article in Venus Zine last year where they broke down the greatest female guitar players of all time. The article itself was a response to the ridiculous lack of women in the Rolling Stone "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" article, which included just two women - Joni Mitchell and Joan Jett. Few people have more devotion to Joan Jett than I, believe me, but can't we do better than two out of a hundred names? The writers at Venus Zine thought so, and came up with their own list, assisted by a panel of experts that included Chicago's Nan Warshaw, owner of Bloodshot Records, and Amy Phillips, Music Editor of Pitchfork. Check out their list, and be sure to click on the alphabetical titles to read more about each of the women they've featured and leave your own favorites in the comments section!
