Girls Rockin'
Posted: 23 Nov 2014, 23:12Found this on youtube. Some very talented ladies here, although I obviously realise that simply playing fast doesn't necessarily mean it's good!

My favourites:
The girl with the Strat at 2.12
The girl who's really letting rip and shredding at about 3:00 - whilst another woman (possibly her mum!) is casually changing the sheets in the background!
The girl at 5.23. Awesome. I can hear Steve Vai in her playing. Shame about the poor background visuals!
Just found THIS info on her...
[b]Argentinean guitar virtuoso Carina Alfie is one of South America's shining stars. Having spent the 1990s paving her way in the male-dominated rock world, Alfie persevered and honed an amazing guitar playing style. Her debut album, Aislomiento, was released in 1996 and it did impressively well in her native land. A year later, a chance meeting with Grammy Award-winning guitarist Steve Vai opened new doors for Alfie. She joined Vai and his band at a show in Buenos Aires and later dedicated a song to Vai on her 2000 release, Mundo Interior. In September of that year, Alfie joined Vai at his Mothership recording studio in Hollywood in preparation for a third album. At this time, she also befriended drummer Linda McDonald of the Los Angeles rock outfit Phantom Blue. The two struck up a friendship, which allowed Alfie to write and record with Phantom Blue. They were later featured on the 2001 various-artists compilation Warmth in the Wilderness: A Tribute to Jason Becker. Aside from her solo work, Alfie also works with the instrumental act Lunatycos.[/b]
I was right about the Steve Vai vibe, but hadn't realised she'd actually worked with him! Also had failed to make the Phantom Blue connection - a great band from the 90s. Got both their albums!
