Sexiest Girls that Play Guitar
Tuesday, August 12, 2008 | Trackback
Avril Lavigne
The pint size rocker has a cracking voice and certainly knows her way around the fretboard.
Michelle Branch
Michelle Jacquet Branch is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. After collaborating with Santana on the single "The Game of Love", which won a Grammy Award, she went on to form the musical duo The Wreckers with fellow musician Jessica Harp. Michelle Branch has now released her third solo album with Maverick entitled "Everything Comes and Goes".
Lori Linstruth
Female lead guitarist Lori Linstruth released her demo CD of darkly melodic instrumental guitar music in 2004. Her instantly identifiable style captured the attention of none other than the mighty Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon, Star One), who promptly recruited her for his band project Stream of Passion. Lori also plays guitar and writes songs for her all-female melodic metal project, Warbride, and recently contributed some guest solos to Janne Stark's Mountain of Power.
Allison Robertson from the Donnas
The Donnas really know how to rock. Their punk rock meets glam metal style has won them many fans and they certainly know to put their own stamp on covers. Check out the cracking cover version of Round and Round by Ratt and you'll see what I mean.
KT Tunstall
My personal favourite and I think this has to be my favourite pic of KT. I think it has to be one of the most iconic rock photos taken. A modern classic!
Grace Potter
Grace Potter is the 25-year-old lead vocalist and guitarist of The Nocturnals, a Vermont-based band that has recently gained national attention with their newest album, "This Is Somewhere".
Marion Raven
After being one-half of the now defunct pop duo M2M, Marion started a successful career as a solo pop-rock artist and has so far released the albums "Here I Am", "Heads Will Roll" and "Set Me Free". I think you'll agree she is a very talented girl in more ways than one.
Anita Robinson from Viva Voce
Viva Voce is an American indie rock band formed by husband and wife duo Kevin and Anita Robinson.
Courtney Love
Courtney Love is an American rock musician and Golden Globe-nominated actress. Love is best known as lead singer, songwriter and lyricist for the alternative rock band Hole and for her two-year marriage to late Nirvana lead singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain
Liz Phair
Liz Phair is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. Her signature guitar is a Fender Duo-Sonic II and her album Exile in Guyville was chosen as one of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
Susan Tedeschi
Susan Tedeschi is an American blues and soul artist, who has risen to fame with multiple Grammy Award nominations, and her marriage to Derek Trucks of the Allman Brothers Band and Derek Trucks Band.
Krystal Meyers
Krystal Meyers is an American Christian rock musician. Krystal started writing songs by age 10 and was playing the acoustic guitar by 13, later releasing her self titled first album at age 16 in 2005. Her second album, Dying for a Heart, was released on September 19th, 2006. Her music combines hard-edged rock with smooth acoustic melodies.
Nancy Wilson
Not only is she a great guitar player and singer / song writer but she happens to be a complete babe. Heart achieved massive success in the 1980's with massive singles such as "Barracuda" and "Alone". She was the lead vocalist on the hits "These Dreams", "Stranded" and "There's The Girl" and has since gone on to compose music for films such as Jerry Maguire, Vanilla Sky and Elizabethtown.
Lita Ford
After finding fame in the all-female rock band The Runaways where she played lead guitar, Lita Ford went on to forge a successful solo career. Her first two albums, Out for Blood and Dancin' on the Edge were reasonably popular however she achieved major success with her 1988 album, "Lita". This album featured the commercial hits, "Kiss Me Deadly""Close My Eyes Forever" (a duet with Ozzy Osbourne) and "Falling In and Out of Love".
Vixen
The original girl rock band. Vixen were an all-female American glam metal / heavy metal band which achieved some success during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

I love Amy Lee as much as the next man, but the list is "Sexiest Girls that Play Guitar" and the first thing you say is she doesn't play guitar. What about Amy MacDonald, or going into the archives for Joan Jett?

Ok, point taken I have moved Amy Lee and Tarja into an upcoming post and have added Nancy Wilson from Heart, Lita Ford, Marion Raven and Grace Potter.
Keep the great suggestions coming in and I'll make sure I add them to the list.

Grace Potter is NOT the lead guitarist of her band. That statement is laughable.
