The Best Female Guitarists The World Has To Offer | REACTION

[@douglasdegraff8335]

Jamel, I've been playing for 50 years and I watch these young women and I hang my head and walk out of my guitar room for awhile and try to soak up how phenomenal these women are. WOW!!!!! Humbled and inspired. Doug

[@dorothylloyd1804]

Thanks for the video Jamel. Very talented ladies

[@Wildflowert]

Nita Strauss-USA is from the female Iron Maiden Tribute band The Iron Maidens. Ive seen the Maidens live when Nita was in the band. She also plays in Alice Coopers band and recently was on tour with Demi Lavato. You should check out Orianthi, she is another very talented guitar player. She played with Michael Jackson (was going on tour with MJ ) and was in Alice Coopers band prior to Nita Strauss. Great video choice.

[@obud3777]

The only pro in this was Nita Strauss, the other ladies, very nice guitar players, playing in a band for a audience with a two hour set list is an whole other level! Like Saki and Hazuki from Nemophila or Midori and Miyako from LoveBites 🎸🔥

[@bigoz1977]

Surprise that Orianthi isn’t there. Toured with Steve Vai at 16 was gonna be Michael Jacksons guitarist for the “this is it” tour before he past away and was also Alice Coopers guitarist for a while too

[@soundsgood4949]

Yeah man, agree. Plus Orianthi is "established" (to Jamel_AKA_Jamal's point), and she's a good singer too, with a solo career. Also lots of vids out there of her jamming with other greats.

[@davidmonteforte485]

Orianthi also played with the Great Carlos Santana and Carlos said he would be passing the torch to Orianthi. That in it self speaks volumes of Orianthi!

[@sociald100]

I think this video is pretty much ladies who are are not pros or at least not major pros who have a bunch of albums.

[@frankiek2269]

bigoz1977. This is actually a series of videos, with this being the first of like 4. Not sure how many there exactly are. But Orianthi is in one of their later videos.

OK, if you say so.

[@CorneiliusLibowitz]

@@TheChzoronzon It’s amazing how you people are totally infatuated with this girl. And then when she “disappeared” from the internet, you guys were devastated….. Her parents probably put the kibosh on her YT forays because of all the freaks drooling over her. But to address your question…copying other people’s songs note for note doesn’t necessarily make them the greatest guitarist, or any type of musician for that matter….. All these girls are really good, but as an entire package, they got nothing on Molly Tuttle………

[@devorahacts]

There are soooo many. Some of my faves are Charo and Sharon Isbin, Bonnie Raitt, Sister Rosetta, Lita Ford, Emily Remler, Poison Ivy, Iv Ford, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Orianthi, Joanna Connor, Sue Foley, Nancy Wilson. Mary Osbourne. I could go forever.

[@CorneiliusLibowitz]

Add Molly Tuttle to that list.

In a 2013 interview, TINA S says she doesn't really have any specific musical influences, but that she particularly likes groups and guitarists like Van Halen or Slash, and Ana Vidovic and Orianthi among women.

[@douglastong3208]

You're right, Jamel. You can find all sorts of great solo musicians on many instruments, but my question has been the same as yours...can they play with other players in a band? No doubt, though, that these women can surely make their guitars sing and generate incredible sounds! My two favorite here were Tina S and Sophie Lloyd.

[@sociald100]

The strange thing about Tina S is she like just vanished from youtube and social media. She had a bunch of vids where she just tore it up on guitar. then nothing. Cant find anything much at all on where she went or what here story is/was. She had a twitter, youtube, facebook and all posts stopped in 2016.

[@jimini1976]

Sophie Lloyd did a tour playing with Machine Gun Kelly recently. I'm not a MGK fan but I know he's a big deal✌

[@douglastong3208]

@@sociald100 I only know what I've heard on YT from others, such as reactors, and what is on the internet. Tina apparently wanted to study in a university, so she did. She supposedly wanted to become a lawyer? But that is irrelevant. You can guess that anyone who would put the time and effort to learn to play the guitar as well as she did would be the type of of person who would put all her energy into doing whatever she wanted to and to only want to do it very well. I think we all would love to see Tina playing guitar again...maybe some day.

Check out Noelle Dos Anjos, a Brazilian living in Germany. She is in a couple of bands (Nungara, Cobra Spell) and has toured with a few others, and has a youtube and twitch. On her twitch she often allows the audience to pick rock/metal songs for her to play, or tries out new material. My favorite youtube video of her is her singing Bloody Roots.

[@CatherineBriseboisCatWoods]

Also, there were a few excellent women guitarists that were included in the Jared Dines Shred Collab that came out in December 2022 (included Nita and Kiki to name just 2 of them). The 2022 one included many awesome ''younger generation'' guitarists. KZbin video definitely worth checking out.

Tina S...best guitarist in the world right now.....male or female.

[@bklyncyclist]

A bunch of months back I watched this video expecting to think Sophie or Tina S. would be the best, but Ayu Gusfanz, 11 in this video, is going to blow them all away. I'd never seen her before and my jaw dropped. She's 18 now. She has a channel on YT and is easy to find and has a lot of video. These players are all good, but Ayu will be considered one of the greats in the same league as Clapton, Beck, Hendrix VH etc...

[@Mickael_]

These youg girls are all very very talented guitarists but for me, and I'm sure some won't agree, Tina is definitly another level, not the same league. Check Moonlight Sonata or For the love of God 🤘

[@patamzer4799]

It's difficult and a little hard to want to classify all his great guitarists but I've never felt the guitar as much as with Tina. It's hard to explain but everything is perfect the technique of course but above all the way of playing to make the strings vibrate, I've never felt that at this point before, it's hypnotic. Now in place of her parents, I may also have to stop YT if she has and this is surely the case for important studies to be completed.

And I agree with you Sophia and the later woman with the black guitar @9:16 Mark are the best, and too bad I didn't catch a name and I watched it 4 times it was sooo good ...they all demonstrated great technical abilities only those two were able to translate their ability with the emotion of what they were playing. The rest subconsciously are playing like I'll show those guys who are fast etc. Sorry Ladies...speed is a thing that anyone can develop and while you displayed all those picking, strumming, muting, and the Eddie Van Halen moves..., Heart and Soul are something else and maybe those just have more emotional experience and thus it translates.

[@GregS4Jesus]

They all play great but none really stand out, except those who don’t toss their long flown hair around their tank top shoulders, seems like a uniform? They all do seem good enough to be in a band but you really need to have them play their own original compositions to get the measure of talent for sure. Coming up with your inspired work is a lot of the whole picture. Playing Hendrix or Eddie V or David Gilmour is not the same, that music is THEM! But the talent here is amazing, that Indonesian girl at 11! Wow, all very good. God bless!

Well this is very subjective at best. Being a great guitarist has more to with composition, technique and understanding how the chords blend. It has less to do with thrashing a solo. I won't take away any of these ladies skills because they obviously can play. But best in the world ? Lets talk about Sister Rosetta Tharp, Joan Jett, Orianthi and Lita Ford. World Class is a complete package or someone who had a lot of influence on todays string masters. In comparison, world class would be people like Jimmy Page, Ry Cooder, Mark Knoffler, Brian May, Roy Clark, and Chet Atkins based on limitless abilities in all music. Second team would be Hendrix, Vaughn, Eddie, Santana, Junior Brown and probably Angus Young. None of these women listed could come close to the abilities of the masters.

[@sonofthesea3298]

Only one that was familiar to me here was Sophie Lloyd (She tends to have you focus on a pair of other assets of hers,shes obviously good enough to not do all that compensating,but whatever lol) And Nita Strauss who is Sophies American colleague and "rival",who doesnt go too extreme with the clothes,and still she pulls of more interest to my knowledge. Im not trying to go in on Sophie for flaunting what she got. I just know that in the rock and metal community amongst the women there,there is constant rants about the women wanting to be treated with respect and not as "objects". Then it feels abit weird to see individuals objectifying themselfs to sell theyr music. To me there is a solid difference between being sexy and being "over the top". I would defintly recommend Sophie Lloyds music,i just feel like she goes abit overboard with focusing on her "other assets". Abit like with Jamel mentioning people twerking on tiktok,just one of many reasons why i have said that im allergic to tiktok. I have never registered an account on tiktok,and i never will in the future. No problems with eyecandy in music,but lets keep it somewhat classy. Nita Strauss is a perfect example of stunning beauty,that looks amazing in her "leather outfits",but she doesnt overdo it. Her music is always the main focus,i feel like with many others there is "desperation" written all over them,and then im talking about other genres too,like WAP,Cardi B ...."artists" like that. I find them more suitable for a different entertainment industry,but thats just me. In regards to this list,im surprised to not see Jennifer Batten or Orianthi there,2 legendary guitarists (amongst many more) But like with most lists created by youtube channels,i think its a compilation of the channel owners personal favourites instead of the actual best. Wich is fair enough,people enjoy making lists with theyr own favourites. But that leaves for very misleading titles and headlines! (Be aware,if you look up Orianthi alot of her own videos has a way of getting blocked for reaction channels)
