The Ladies are alright
The more I go down the rabbit hole of women guitar players, the more I am impressed.
Look, I make no excuses. I have played guitar for most of my life, and while I no longer chase the dream of shredding. But, if you’ve been around here for a while (and I do have a boatload of new subscribers) you also know that I go out of my way to find and promote women who play.
Look, there is nothing magic about men and playing guitar. It takes dexterity, talent, and a desire, nay drive to play, and that really doesn’t relate to your gender or any other physical attribute.
I have in the past highlighted Lari Basilio from Brazil, and Irene Ketikidi from Greece. Here is a video collaboration of those two, plus two more I need to add to my watch list and rotation. Anouck Andre (France) and Laura Klinkert.
Four minutes and thirty seven seconds of just very tasteful melodies and riffs. Offered up for your enjoyment!
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
Oh, my... just fabulous. More of this, please! I loved every note!
So many female guitarists that have not been given their props!!
Thanks again for giving them their due!
