I saw Tedeschi this summer, and wasn't impressed with her playing at all.
I'd call her a singer doing guitar, and not a guitar player singing. She can play, but on stage, she was mostly on automatic.

And Sheryl Crow is even less of a guitarist - most of the time, she's not playing at all.

I'd nominate Joan Jett, Nancy Wilson, Bonnie Raitt and Orianthi

Perhaps "best" should be considered as entirely subjective. That being said, the female guitarist I find most fascinating is Wata of Boris. An elegant stage presence, tone to die for, and perhaps the loudest of the female players. Her soloing is often deliberate and fluid, infused with finger vibrato, slides and majestic washes of delay.

@ Miami Mike: Jennifer Batten has that Jeff Beck pinch harmonics thing going on. Indeed impressive...

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Just thought on such a thread that Kelly Johnson should get a mention. Girlschool were a bit of a pioneering female rock band in their time and Kelly made sure a lot of teenage boys paid them some attention. Not a bad guitarist either.

On the low end of things the best female electric bass guitarists are: Esperanza Spalding; Gail Ann Dorsy, Tal Wilkenfeld, and Angeline Saris.

Even though the whole who's the best? topics are totally based on purely subjective observations and feelings I have to mention an amazing lady guitarist who hasn't been mentioned yet and that's Leona Boyd,a female guitarist who even Segovia held in high esteem.Sadly she has been stricken with a neuromuscular disorder that has permanently put an end to her guitar playing-needless to say,I feel her pain,both literally and figuratively.

Lita Ford is another lady guitarist who hasn't been mentioned and who never is seen in any guitar magazine articles these days or in the past few years.She was at the top of the female guitarist list back in the '80s and just about every big solo star wanted her to be their tour guitarist and on their albums.Whatever became of her?I'm sure that if you dug deep enough that you'd see that she no doubt inspired a lot of today's female guitarists.

Tal Wilkenfeld. Bass for Jeff Beck. More than holds her own. She is great, regardless of sex.
