Marnie Stern's music is composed with a keen eye for the unexpected. She likes to shock people into listening again, not from technical skill necessarily, but from "How the fuck did she get there from there?"

I'm not a big fan but props to her for trying something different.

There's a band local to my abysmall little town that has two relatively decent female shredders in it. Too bad it's drowned out by a wall of drums and bass thouhg (seriously, why would you mic your bass drum for 50 people?)

Guitar Player interviewed her a few years ago, and it was absolutely the stupidest thing I've EVER read. She's so fucking arrogant that it's not even funny.


That said, my boner for Boris will extend to this thread and remind you that Wata is one of my favorite guitarists ever, regardless of gender.

What inspired your concept of shred classical?

After studying at Juilliard, I realized classical music was dead. No one was listening to it. So I looked at what the moron masses were listening to, and I asked myself, “What’s the most exciting music?” Metal! Right then and there I decided to mix heavy metal with classical music. But you can’t just bring in metal styles and lay them on top of classical music, you must also maintain the virtuosity of true classical genius. This is what defines shred classical. I am systematically, single-handedly taking Juilliard morons to task, and all the classical composers after Beethoven who choked the life out of classical music because they were not virtuosos. And I’m not only resurrecting classical music, I’m resurrecting metal—which has been systematically destroyed by all those Metallica-style bands. You have to be able to PLAY, asshole!

 :?

Actually I guess I could quote the whole article on here. This far in it's all gold.

Edit: One more. Then I'm done.

At the risk of getting bludgeoned, I have to ask why you feel you need all the sex and gore to promote yourself, when you are quite obviously a brilliant guitarist?

If it takes The Great Kat wearing dominatrix outfits—and DRIPPING IN BLOOD with a whip in my hand—to get people to wake up to shred classical, that’s what The Great Kat will do, because The Great Kat is not only updating classical music for the 21st-century morons, I’m also being an entertainer. I’m mixing shred metal and classical music with operatic theater. This is why my ripping new DVD, Guitar Shred, is so insane, with torture and castration and slaves. I AM THE DOMINATRIX OF WAR!

Although it's hard to name truly talented female musicians (I dunno why Kittie keeps coming to mind, cuz Kittie=Shitty) but Carla form AUTOLUX destroys the drums. Homegirl is one of the best drummers I have ever seen live. Oh and you can't fuck with Fiona Apple. So there's 2.

Perhaps I'd be going out on a limb and potentially sacrificing all male-dom when I say that a female can shred.

But only when by shred I mean elegantly but rapidly play interesting and beautiful solos and riffs while maintaining the beat and tempo of the song and after she actually learns how, via professional schooling or a (male) friend showing them exactly HOW to shred, and WHAT it should sound like. Often times people try to 'shred', and it sounds like complete horse shit. Which is no good. It needs to flow, I think.

But it can't be all elegant and beautiful. You have to have a riff in there that will cause hemorrhages of the brain and lungs, because that's how ridiculously badass and intense it is.

No perfume or puppies, please try again!

That said, I can't shred due to never owning or learning to play a guitar. But would I stab an amp with a guitar and then smash it? Yes. (But only if the amp and guitar were utter shit. Don't waste good guitars and amps!)

I can't count the number of times I've been out shredded by girls... Although that may be due to that I've only met four girls in my life so it was a pretty shocking experience  :-P

I've never actually known a girl who plays an electric guitar. Most of the girls I know who play seem to play fairly shitty acoustic.

As far as I know I think I'm the only girl around here who actually cares about rocking out and not just strumming acoustic guitars and singing about feelings, though I like that too.

I've only known the one. I already had a wicked-ass crush on her before I found that out, too, so when I found out she played I was like "I MUST MAKE OUT WITH THIS GIRL."

Makeouts never happened but damn, I still wish they had to this very day.

Here's an interesting, on-topic article that argues the lack of indentifiable female guitar heros has to do with (1) the way the culture treats women who are expressive as a whole; and, (2) the lack of role models to encourage women to take up guitar, which, if not started at an early age, usually doesn't happen for women or men.  How many guitar gods do you know who started at 30 once they had a well defined sense of self?  There's none that I can think of.  Check it out-

My ex used to play guitar. But her guitar had gone so far out of tune from underuse that it sounded like an awesome open tuning. I considered figuring out the notes and writing it down to use later.
