These Women Have Staked Their Claims as Top Lead Guitarists

Bibi McGill

McGill played a solo during Beyoncé's 2013 Super Bowl half-time show, and it was so good and so intense that sparks literally flew from her instrument. She earned herself a permanent spot in Queen Bee's backing band thanks to that. She's also toured with P!nk. Her notable instruments include various D'Angelico guitars.

Gretchen Menn

Menn has several solo albums, one which includes a musical interpretation of "Dante's Inferno." Menn thrives in both heavy rock and classical orchestration, which are at the opposite ends of the genre spectrum. She makes for an amazing live experience and you can usually find her playing on an Ernie Ball Music Man Silhouette.
