Counterpoint: Lady Shredders

So, Merlin posted some wanky guitar music (thankfully at least the relatively tasteful acoustic stuff, not going straight for the Malmsteen/Satriani crackpipe), and the point was raised that this sort of guitar explosion stuff is totally “boy music”.

On the one hand, this is entirely 100% correct.

On the other hand, here are ladies playing the shit out of some guitars:

Kaki King “I Need A Girl Who Knows A Map” Portland 03-22-2008 from PDX Taper on Vimeo.

Marnie Stern live on Radio K from Radio K on Vimeo.
