  How skilled is Nancy Wilson to play the intro on Crazy On You?

Being that I don't know much, to me it looks and sounds like she is a master of the guitar, enlighten me.

Yes, she's good.
From the interviews I've seen she comes across as a nice person, too.

  What I learned today on the Net, is a guitarist doesn't have to be a Master to play this intro to where the band kicks in or the rest of the song, it's not all that complicated. Then there are guitarist with 10 years experience that claim they could not play it fluently on Stage.
 So a guitarist would have to be more than a Novice and would take at least a week of practice, probably more, to play it as fluently as Nancy Wilson on Stage.

Definitely a well played guitar intro. :smoke:

I saw them a few times in bars around Portland around the time Dreamboat Annie came out. Other that be bone thin and smoking hot young ladies, they were both very talented.

I am also a Wilson sister fan.

Nancy was always fun to watch and a joy on the guitar. Was she Eric Clapton... no.
Check out this charming  intimate sounding live album produced by John Paul Jones. If you ever see this in the bin... grab it!
The cover shows two fresh faced beautiful young girls who grow into some kick ass ladies who tackled the world together. Good stuff.
