Who's the best female guitarist?
According to a new report by the Institute of Education, of 5 to 16 year olds learning how to play electric guitar and bass, a staggering 81% are male - a bias that's almost as pronounced as the fact that 90% of harpists are ladies.
The gender split has led some commentators to expand on the theory of some mens' preference for oversized cars and speculate that there's some kind of sexual reason why instruments such as the guitar and tuba are popular with young men, while the piccolo is roundly ignored. Far more likely is the lack of female role models - an undeniable fact but a bizarre one considering how cool women look with a guitar.
So, here's a quick survey then - who is the greatest female guitarist of all time?

When a young girl guitar player is rated by the likes of Mark Knopfler Jeff Beck Mason Williams Hank Marvin and Nokie Edwards she must be good. That girl is Zoe McCulloch
