The Nordic Gawd Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 chicks really dont shred. its been my experiance NOT TO BE SEXIST that they dont play guitar well. WITH MAJOR EXCEPTIONS. I.E bonnie rait. I love bonnie rait. blues QUEEN! and i much prefer a black diva singer to a whitey man. DO NOT TAKE ME THE WRONG WAY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the third eye Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 are you talking about pople you know personally or not(ie. Jennifer batten Rocks!! i think it's the same chick i'm thinking of anyway....) personally i don't know any female shredders but i know a few female guitarists that are pretty good at other styles remember 'Shred' is a minority right now....

westhemann Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 i don't personally know any female guitarists of any type but i really dn't think you have to be a shredder to be a good guitarist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9of7 X 3of2 Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 I know of one. I used to jam with her boyfriend, Rob (me on bass), but it didnt work out. I still talk to Rob, and last we chatted, he wanted me to hook up with her for some brutality with a side order of chaos (me on drums). Click on this link... http://www.ancestorheavymetal.com/Ancestor19982.html The mp3's nor the photo do her any justice. The Mp3's are very poor quality, but you can sort of tell whats going on, and they represent her ability from a few years back. And she's a hell of a lot sexier in real life than in the picture too.

lovekraft Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 I watched Lita Ford tear Tony Iommi a new one in a straight-up Monsters of Rock jam sometime late last century - yeah, I know she dressed like the lost member of Vixen, but the girl could actually play! Quite impressive, but you sure wouldn't know it from her albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbkim Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Vixen! Wow, not often you hear of them nowadays . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nordic Gawd Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 yeah you hear them sometimes on sex chat and cheesy pornos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbkim Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Hmm... I wouldn't know anything about sex chats or cheesy pornos . Last reference I saw of them was on VH-1's "Where are they now" thingy. I think I remember the singer Janet is a dental hygienist in CT now.

lovekraft Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Yeah, they were kinda "The Go-Go's meet Britney Fox", but loads of fun to watch. Even in all that leather, they made Nancy Wilson look like Motorhead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbkim Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Yeah, they certainly were nice to look at . Man, there is something about a leather clad women playing guitar well . Hmm... come to think of it, the only song of theirs' I remember is that Richard Marx one... "Edge of a Broken Heart" or something like that.

BLS Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 I know one, She's 18 and is pretty good. It seems like females have harder time playing because there hands are so damn small. And their boobs get in the way?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 And their boobs get in the way?? That's half the fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbkim Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 A shredder of a different sort! I'm watching a rerun of Conan O'Brian now. They just showed a clip of Kaki King. Pretty impressive! Reminds me a lot of early Michael Hedges (RIP).... lots 'o two-handed slappy acoustic stuff. If you're curious, you might be able to catch the Conan re-broadcast on Comedy Central "tomorrow." Edit: Yow! I just watched the actual performance. Y'all should check it out... very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FajiiNako Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 My girlfriend can play pretty well. She can't exactly shred, but then agian, neither can i lol. We learn together. She's getting pretty fast though, so i'll have to work a bit to keep up with her lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
