Top 20 Hottest Female Guitarists, Part I
Related Content
Since we here at Guitar World appreciate the finer things in life—like guitars and girls—we thought it was high time we present our list of the Top 20 Hottest Female Guitarists.
As if this idea wasn't ridiculous enough, we decided to disregard musical skill and technique entirely in lieu of judging these players strictly on their aesthetic merits.
Is there a smoking axslinger not represented on our list? Think someone is not quite up to par? Make sure to state your case in the comments below.
Click on the images below for an expanded view of each player. Enjoy! Also, check out Part II of our list here.
Allison Robertson (The Donnas) |
Amber Valentine (Jucifer) |
Brody Dalle (The Distillers/Spinnerette) |
|
Charo |
|
||
Flavia Canel (Drain STH) |
|||
Joan Jett |

Nancy Wilson (Heart) |

Based only on aesthetics? Really? What's the real point? I'm heartsick that in your minds this is in any way acceptable.

I failed to see Bonnie Raitt in your little survey, granted she is not very hot, but she kicks ass on that old strat.

WHAT! Not one of the girls from COCKPIT included? WTF?
It seems that someone needs to do their homework.There are no less than two hotties in that band, not to mention that they ROCK!
Charo? are you sh***ing me? You did good putting Chrissie Hynde up there though

Yeah, I know. I read it and knew that before posting! It's absurd as a criteria, and sad that the magazine would do that. But, it's still a good forum to talk about other females not on the list who can play and happen to look good too!
How often does this subject come up? It's still a good place to find out about others albeit on the back of the absurd premise as laid out by the mag.

No mention of the Great Kat? How about Girlschool? Both are not only HOT but they can keep pace with heaviest players out there.

The quote is:
"As if this idea wasn't ridiculous enough, we decided to disregard musical skill and technique entirely in lieu of judging these players strictly on their aesthetic merits."Scroll up and read. Most of you guys are saying this is about talent, but they are judging strictly by looks.
I'd also like to add the bass player to Sick Puppies.

This is really insightful.."Pppssshhhhhtttt".
I checked out your "Elizabeth Schall" and she is good..very good. A nice looking woman as well. What you don't know can hurt you. HELLEN is on the cusp of major international coverage. One thing I will tell you is that HELLEN does not sound like other metal acts..the vocals are unique and they do not fit well into any of the stereotypical metal subcategories. And, hello it's a "duo"! I would like to debate you on where the .."Pppssshhhhhtttt".. is within this commentary of yours, but this was all you had to offer for analysis. The vocals on your "Dreaming Dead" sound sooo much like everyone else. Part of the point is to not emulate others..it is to take the chance of being different. Being different carries risks..one of which is shallow replies like.."Pppssshhhhhtttt". But that's okay. You get to stand tall by your opinion,... in all it's glory.
Thank you for ponting out "Dreaming Dead" as they are cool and I had not yet heard of them.

Corrie Zazzera of the intense female Metal duo "HELLEN" should be in here!..And guess what?.. She has a degree in "guitar performance" as well as the looks!

HELLEN is a two piece female metal duo out of Arizona that may very well be the most intense of it's kind.

Nice list. Liked the inclusion of Charo cuz she is a good guitarist, however Suzi Gardner is from L7. Also I'd have liked to see Morgan Lander who actually is a member of Kittie, but it seems like she'd be offended by being associated in a list like this anyway. So well done.

I look forward to your aesthetics only evaluation of the 20 hottest white men in shredding, which I suspect you will follow up this article with, since you are clearly all about equality and it would be unfair to only demean half of the world (not to mention all the non-white female guitars who are apparently not 'the finer things in life' for this publication).

She doesn't deserve to be here since she actually write many of those riffs. Her leg propped up on a monitor is an even bigger reason why she is NOT hot!! Liz is somewhat hot but I don;t really like her music. Maria A gets my vote!!! or a younger Nancy Wilson.

Riff writer or not...she is still one of the only two women to design a guitar for FENDER!
I think that's the Vista in the picture....
