Ani Difranco. Far and away. In my opinion, one of the most underrated guitar players ever. Although her political, feminist positve lyrics might put off some people, as a guitarist, she is creative, unique, fresh, and groundbreaking.
Five foot nothing and a dynamo to see live, this girl not so much plays the guitar as attacks it, fights against it, strangles it like it was her mortal enemy. Percussive, yet musically sensitive and educated style, she pulls, pushes, hits and slaps the instrument, coaxing out of it, some of the most captivating, rythmically enticing, yet melodically sweet sounds I have ever heard.
Again, you may not like her lyrics, but if you are just looking for a purely virtuosso guitar player, this girl is it.
