I don't ever recall seeing Ann Wilson play a guitar for Heart.
I saw them only once, when they opened for the Stones in '81, and from what I can recall she didn't play any guitar on that day either, and she may not have ever played any while in Heart, as she didn't need to, they had 2 great players already. But she does play guitar and did play some guitar on her first solo album at least.
The Flashpoint cover could easily be the logo for a Natural Gas Company.
I said the same thing the first time I saw it!

I didn't know that Janis played the guitar. I don't recall seeing her with a guitar in hand, but then I've seen precious little footage of her.
Most likely that was because when she made it big she didn't play a lot of it up on onstage, or at all on any records, as she had her band members play for her, other than her excellent acoustic guitar playing on "Me and Bobby McGee". But she used to play both electric and acoustic guitar up on stage by herself often before she made it big, and if you run a Google imagine search you will see several photos showing her playing guitar up on stage, even after she made it big. She could actually play several different instruments, with the autoharp her favorite one to play, she played it so much while at collage that her first write up in a major newspaper was for her autoharp playing, not just her singing.
I'm supposing that John played rhythm guitar on a lot of the songs that don't get mentioned here.
I noted that in my post, without using the word "often", since he didn't play his guitar as often as many might think after he went solo. Another instruments he was well known to play often in the early years of the Beatles was harp, and he was looked at as one of the best ever rock harp players, yet once he went solo, he only played harp once on record, on the song "Oh Yoko".
