One guitarist who I have been impressed with over the last 15 years is Jennifer Turner.
Currently the guitarist with Furslide (which I know nothing about), Jennifer played guitar on Natalie Merchant's Tigerlily album, and, in my opinion, laid down some tasty tracks. She also toured with Merchant and did a hell of a job. A fine guitarist, if you ask me. a psychotic is someone who just figured out what's going on | |

Good picks, Black. Neal and Randy are amazing..very underrated. Neal actually plays some cool funk-rock licks on Betty Davis' (Miles-ex) debut LP. Blackbird shreds too. Did you dig Jesse's last CD (Bare My Naked Soul)? | |

I saw her on Conan O'Brien and she was great. She's was doing all this fret-tapping and shit. Eddie Van Halen would be proud. http://www.soundclick.com...rmusic.htm NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

With her it doesn't come off as if she doing some trick or can't think of anything else to play. Just me I guess. tA Tribal Disorder

I loved his stuff when he joined with Pieces Of A Dream, in the mid eighties, and later on , played guitar with a short-lived group on Columbia called Mission...I had both of Mission's albums , and Bowland wrote all the best stuff.....

Prince.. of course
Jesse Johnson.. I definitely miss his music Joe Satriani.. I got hip to him while in college from a Guitar Music major (circa 1989) Slash.. of Guns and Roses, not a fan of the group, but he can play O'Dell.. of Mint Condition, how dare I forget him.
