A question for anybody that might be a music history buff. Who pioneered using the guitar as a lead instrument?

Charlie Christian, I guess.
good guess argus, but nope, it was Mother Maybelle Carter. I thought you ladies would be interested in that, and maybe some of you guys.

Neato!
Life goes on forever, and music lasts a lifetime. Get in and be heard.
That's so interesting that it was a woman (and cool).... It is odd that a woman pioneered using the a guitar as a lead instrument and then woman as lead guitarists virtually disappeared. It was all men that took guitar to new heights. There were really no female lead guitarists in the 60/70's., Not saying that there aren't any great woman guitarists but how many do you so on the top guitarists lists. Even now, there are some but we still take a back seat - not blaming it on society just stating fact. Most famous female guitarists are acoustic folk or rhythm.
Thanks Madsen for this bit of info.

Thanks, Tim. That's an interesting bit of trivia!
