Jaquie Gipson: I began playing the guitar at the age of 14. My first real guitar was a Fender Mustang (Yes, I still have it). I played rhythm guitar in a small garage band and also in the High School Stage Band. It was when I was in college that I first heard of Leo Kottke and his amazing guitar playing. It changed the way I thought guitars were played. I put the electric guitar down and picked up the acoustic. I listened to dozens of guitarists, both acoustic and electric ...

Shredding the 'blonde from California' stereotype, Lisa baker smartens up the image of the female guitar player.
Currently supporting the release of her jazz CD, Song for a New Day, Lisa separates herself from the current crop of female singer-songwriters by taking on multiple roles, including those of producer, engineer and songwriter. But most impressive is her role as guitarist. Her ability to improvise alongside such respected musicians as Oteil Burbridge, Derico Watson, and Regi Wooten puts her in a category all on her own.
Born and raised in southern California, Lisa studied piano under the wing of her jazz pianist mother. She expanded her musical horizons by studying violin, upright bass, oboe, and voice. When Lisa was 12, her family moved to Seattle, Washington. "I stole my mother's acoustic guitar when i was a senior in high school," Lisa confeses. "She just never saw it again." Lisa strummed folk songs and church music on the instrument. The guitar's easy mobility and flexibility made it her instrument of choice.

5. BB King
The Official BB King Website:
His reign as King of the Blues has been as long as that of any monarch on earth. Yet B.B. King continues to wear his crown well. At age 76, he is still light on his feet, singing and playing the blues with relentless passion. Time has no apparent effect on B.B., other than to make him more popular, more cherished, more relevant than ever. Don't look for him in some kind of semi-retirement; look for him out on the road, playing for people, popping up in a myriad of T.V. commercials, or laying down tracks for his next album. B.B. King is as alive as the music he plays, and a grateful world can't get enough of him.
For more than half a century, Riley B. King - better known as B.B. King - has defined the blues for a worldwide audience. Since he started recording in the 1940s, he has released over fifty albums, many of them classics. He was born September 16, 1925, on a plantation in Itta Bena, Mississippi, near Indianola. In his youth, he played on street corners for dimes, and would sometimes play in as many as four towns a night. In 1947, he hitchhiked to Memphis, TN, to pursue his music career. Memphis was where every important musician of the South gravitated, and which supported a large musical community where every style of African American music could be found. B.B. stayed with his cousin Bukka White, one of the most celebrated blues performers of his time, who schooled B.B. further in the art of the blues ...
