In a male-dominated profession, it's never easy to rattle off a list of great female guitar players. A few that come to mind include Nancy Wilson (Heart), Bonnie Raitt, Lita Ford, and Joan Jett; yet none of them can even compare the talents of Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaugh, or even the 3 note riffs of B.B. King until now!

Orianthi is taking the spotlight as she was selected to tour with Michael Jackson in his final "This Is It" Tour. For those who saw the documentary, she was the chick shreddin the solo on "Beat It". Her debut album "Believe" recently hit the shelves and I'm sure to pick up a copy. Dirt Cheap!!! will also be covering her hit "According To You" at our next show! Even my big brother had to spend a little time picking up her leads! HAHA! Not that I could pick up a guitar and play it, but still....  GIRL POWER!
