These Female Guitarists Shred Like No Other

Sue Foley

Foley’s not one to be contained to a single genre. She has toes dipped in soul, surf, country, rock, and even punk. She uses a thumb pick and fingers to evoke her unique sound, and a straight flat pick approach doesn’t appeal to her at all. She turned pro at 16 and released her first solo record at 21. Her notable instrument is a Fender Pink Paisley Telecaster.
