These Female Guitarists Shred Like No Other

Donna Grantis

With a Jazz Performance degree from McGill University, Grantis is an in-demand session musician from Toronto, and she also fronts her own band. Her biggest achievement was to be tapped as guitarist for Prince’s project, 3rdeyeGirl. Trading blazing solos with the late Purple One on a nightly basis, she proved her mettle, and earned a place in guitar history. Her notable instrument is a PRS CE 22.
