Why don't girls play guitar?

I think it is popular to say that you're playing the guitar.
But I think also there 're a lot of girl, who play the guitar very well.
I learned at school for my study at Primaryschool teacher.
I really love the play to set a side my thought and to reflex and relax.

Your welcome Amy, I think everyone should learn to play a musical instrument, regardless whether a sheet of paper over a comb or hitting pots with a spoon, we would need less medication if we were to play music, as they say soothes the savage stressed out emotional beast within all of us.

So, Amy, you really want to know? First let me list the best female pickers in each musical field:

#1 in Blues / Rock has to be Bonnie Raitt. (no competition as far as popularity)

#1. in Blues / Soul has to be Tracy Chapman. (she can make it talk)

#1. in Country has to be Mother Maybelle Carter (June's Mom) who created a style of finger picking that male and female have copied for many decades. Also here, Barbara Mandrell has to be mentioned since she really was a serious picker on a whole bunch of instruments even as a little girl when she played the casino nightclub circuit with her Dad. She plays excellent steel guitar.

#1. in Classical according to all the sources I can find is a lady named Lily Afshar who was among the twelve international guitarists selected to play for Andrés Segovia in his master classes. And she seems to have won every major competition in the world for the female Classical guitarist.

#1. for female bass guitar player (which would be even more difficult fingerwise for a lady) has to be
Carol Kaye. one of the busiest studio bassists to ever work in Los Angles.
She played on the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations", Glen Campbell's "Witchita Lineman", Joe Cocker's "Feelin' Alright" and hundreds more hits. Her film credits include: Mission Impossible, Bonanza, Airport, Bill Crosby, Bob Hope, Academy Awards special etc...she's backed on record: Ray Charles, Quincy Jones, Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Stevie Wonder, Burt Bacharach, Herb Alpert, Mel Torme
It would be very hard for even a male picker to match her achievements.

Why do chicks shy away from guitar more than the flute or harp? Well, tonight for three hours try pushing a thick kitchen knife as hard as you can into the middle of the top of the three fingers located between your thumb and your pinkie. Even nylon strings will do this if one seriously practices regularly.

And until the nerves in the ends of your fingers actually become numb to the feel of the strings, playing guitar is not a lot of fun even for guys.

They have a pretty good physical explanation about the strength it takes to play guitar at www.bluesforpeace.com

But after decades of performing on stages and working with top musicians in The Entertainment Capital of the World, I can tell you that you may not know their names, but I have seen and played with dozens of chicks that would make most male guitarists go hide under the stage. One all chick band I worked opposite in the 70s at The Aladdin Hotel was called "Jo Ann Bon & the...(I think it was) The Coquettes?" Six chicks that played with as much force as a Superbowl offensive line. So fellas, don't ever think that women cannot take over the world if they choose to. Just be nice to them and maybe they will let us stay around to admire them and their talents.

The key to anything is "to do whatever YOU want to do will take that determination, persistence and hard, hard work." If one is willing to pay the price necessary to achieve goals, memorize the old Nike commerical slogan...."Just Do It"!

And if there are any ladies who desire to know some shortcuts in learning to play guitar, just email me from WildBillUSA.com and I can probably give you some suggestions as to how to start playing real songs fairly quickly instead of grinding away week after week never being able to really play a tune. But you still have to be willing to practice faithfully. It will be worth it when the next time you show up to sing karaoke, you bring your guitar and play along with the song on the stage.

Playing a guitar on stage, ladies, is an excellent way to gain the attention of every male in attendance. All the dressed up "wanna bees" will be left standing at the curb, while your Prince Charming zooms away with you in his Golden Chariot.

That alone should be worth a couple of months with sore fingers. So grab that guitar and make some music!

i love guitar. it brings me a lot of FUN !
