Female Guitarist/Performers you should know.

[AnthonyI]

I was looking over my want list and with the "top 50 artist" thread still fresh on my mind, noticed quite a few ladies on it. So let's spread the love and open some eyes/ears to some amazing female guitarists. Some of you may recognize some of these ladies, but on the outside chance some need a little "female education", lets start to gather them up.

Note: Artists like St. Vincent and so on would be a give in, I was kind of looking at some that may be overshadowed. But, if we want to add them, so be it.

In no particular order, and feel free to post additional artists, include a link if you have a favorite song
