Quite right. They should stick to acoustics and do that ‘folk music’ that they’re quite good at. 
Next up - can white musicians play funk?

Let's be honest, if someone played you a recording of Gretchen playing and told you it was a bloke, you'd be none the wiser.

I'd like to know her for a long time too! Or even a short time! 

Yeah - she's been well known for years... probbo...

I still like Sarah Cox as my fave, we need a new thread, guitarists that may or may not tan well, that would be interesting.

FTFY

Thought that playing was pretty horrible as well, however when it comes to female players with ridiculously good tone then there's always Lari Basilio:

Yeah, Lari’s a bit of a special player and her style is one I can listen to for hours

WTF is this thread?

I think it's basically a bunch of middle aged men having a crafty pocket wank because they've seen a photo of someone playing a guitar?

It's all a bit cringe worthy and bordering on creepy...

God only knows. 

It's especially creepy when you see what some of the men who are assessing the attractiveness of female guitarists actually look like themselves. 

It's all very 1970s, fat old blokes in string vests criticising tiny imperfections in young women. Yuck. 

Creed_Clicks

Indeed. It's pretty pathetic.

Wow!  Just Wow!

Is that Stuart Hamm playing bass?

I thought the same thing - certainly looks like him.

Yep, disgraceful.

Just wondering, are we allowed to post similar comments if members post videos of their daughters singing or playing a musical instrument?

Maybe we could make a calendar of the forums wives?

Hideous guitar, impractical footwear and probably hiding bad teeth with that smile. PASS!

WTF is the point of this photo? I've never heard her, and can't take her seriously after that pic. Of course you could say nobody put a gun to her head for this photo. Same as I can't take Dave Navarro too seriously with the top off, even though he's a decent player....

If you want to listen to a guitarist, listen to them. If you want to have a wank, watch porn.

V.Old Charvel promotional photo - she now has her own Caparison model that doesn't require such cheesy photos.

Unfortunately looks do seem to matter in the music industry. Or at least at the poppier/commercial end of it.

It shouldn't be that way, but it is. I blame Simon Cowell.
