Top 10 Videos of Unknown Girls Playing Guitar

Let's take a moment to celebrate the almighty rocker chick.

Yes, chicks rule and they rock, too. In case you weren't aware, there's a wave of talented, guitar-playing young women on the verge of taking the music industry by storm. Some are already out there doing their thing and some are just about to hit it big... keep an eye out for players like Orianthi (solo, PRS signature artist), Bibi McGill (Beyonce), Kaki King (solo, Adamas signature artist), Jin Joo Lee (Jordin Sparks, Cee Lo Green), Donna Grantis (PRS endorser), Arielle (solo), Kristen Capolino (PRS endorser), and Gretchen Menn (Zeperella). 

The gals who are next in line are already online showing everyone what they can do. Here now is Guitar Squid's list of Top 10 Videos of Unknown Chicks Rocking Extremely Hard:

10. Girl, Erupted

Here's a video of a gal named Danna erupting at what appears to be a high school talent show.

9. There's a New Taylor in Town

It looks like this girl isn't even trying! What a slacker! You wish you could do this at 13. Kudos to Taylor for putting in so much practice time on the guitar and for being brave enough to show the world what she can do.

8. Soular Flair

Ash Soular has some real dandies online, including this salute to Santana which has been viewed nearly 7.5 million times. But you've gotta love the fact that she had the cajones to not only tackle Eric Johnson's "Cliffs of Dover," but to hit it, most of it anyway, on a goldtop.

7. Rock like an Egyptian

Her name is Ally Salem, she's from Egypt and she digs '80s heavy metal. Here's Salem showing off her ear for tone with a nice take on a Gary Moore classic

6. Shotgun Blast

There's hope for the future, metal heads. Some 15-year old girl who goes by Kiana Shotgun is in a practice room somewhere woodshedding on old Megadeth.

5. She's Really Got Me Now

Desiree Bassett's guitars skills make you forget that there's a circa-1982-drumset and a completely unnecessary sax player on stage.

4. Technique-Meister

The girl putting on the technique clinic with the HSS Tom Anderson is Miki Sugimoto. She's one of two amazing guitarists in an all-girl outfit called Jenny Fox.

3. A Real Jem

Yasmin "Yasi" Hofer isn't a complete unknown, which is technically the case with everyone on this list. Hofer has been making waves with her YouTube videos for a few years now. Steve Vai caught wind of this German phenom and has since invited her on stage.

2. Girl Named Su

Talk about bringin' the funk. 2.1 milion YouTube views, and counting!

1. Parker Sister

This girl, Juliette Valduriez, kills. Clean runs, nice vibrato and nice choice of weaponry. Her Kaos-fused cover of "Bark at the Moon" is worth checking out, too.

and one more for luck... Jacqueline Mannering
