I'll second Amy McDonald.

But I'll also put in an honourable mention for Suzy Q.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe is way up there as one of the very best, male or female.

Gabriela Quintero of Rodrigo y Gabriela is my favourite by far. The sounds she can get out of an acoustic guitar are amazing. Part guitar, part drum, part I don't know what.
Unfortunately almost all videos of her solos have been filmed by audience members and have audio quality issues as a result.



In pure technical ability, you'll struggle to find anyone who beats this:




I was going to say Gabriella. Saw them live, she was phenomenal. She made Rod look a bit pedestrian!

Don't ask who my favourite male guitarist is though... I could name at least 12 and still leave some out!

Since we've opened up the four-string variant, I'm going for Tina Weymouth of the Talking Heads. I bought a Hofner Senator like the one she had because it's a hollow body and therefore lighter so allows me to play it for much longer without the awful back pain I get with solid-bodied, heavier basses. A Hofner violin-shape one was out of the question as I'm right handed before anyone asks.

And of course, there's Gail Ann Dorsey, the shaven-headed Amazon who was with Bowie for years.
