This question comes up on Internet guitar forums from time to time, and to my knowledge it has never been definatively answered. Let's see if we can spawn discussion: Why are there so few female guitar players? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Just as in real life I wouldn't want to be sorrounded only by males - even though I am an aplha- . Seriously - I know we have some female gmc:ers it's just that they haven't registered on the forum. --Kris You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I've heard the thoery that they are there, just not active in Internet forums proposed before. --Could be I suppose. They dont like heavy metal/shred music I have not heard before- I suppose that could be a reason, indeed, there are females at The Acoustic Guitar Forum, but still no where near as many as males. How about....Why dont females like the 3 Stooges? Some do, but not nearly as much as men, --see, how do you explain that? I mean -who wouldnt like the 3 Stooges? Yeash..makes a guy wonder ....Is guitar just a guy thing?...Like the 3 Stooges? and Beer and farting? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It is a shame we dont have more, the ones we do have I love to see around but sadly they dont post so much Maybe the sheer volume of males makes it abit daunting !

Nov 29 2007, 04:25 PM	The Dark Canuck Posts: 2.729 Joined: 22-March 07 From: The Great White North	There are actually a few female members here at GMC. Not all of us are on the forum but there are a couple who do post on a regular basis. Others just like to stick to the lessons which is just fine. What I find interesting is that this topic creeps up every now and again....why? Is it that big of a deal that there are women who play guitar and like to post on the forum from time to time? I just find it curious I guess that it's looked at in such awe. But then again I've been getting that my whole life as I'm more into sports then most of the guys I know (including my boyfriend). However GMC is different from any other forum I've ever been on (I've only ever participated in 2 other forums besides GMC and both were awful experinces) Kris has made a community where everyone is welcome...pros, newbies, and people who just like to play. He's gone to great lengths to make sure the forum is a clean (no vulgarity or inappropriate comments) and friendly place for us guitar players to discuss anything and everything that intrests us. Plus you are encouraged to ask questions and the best part is no one jumps down your throut if it's a question that's been ask a million times, they just point ya towards the answer. Everyone is friendly and very helpful and the advice that is given is genuine and usually coming from someone with a wealth of knowledge. Not just some know-it-all with a laptop and nothing else to do. I've said this a million times I'm sure but I've learned so much from the forum. I find it just as useful as the lessons. It's just a cool place to hang out and learn. Now as stated, not all the female members of GMC are on the forum but I'm sure not all the male members are either....but no one seems to make a big deal about that. (not trying to be rude or make a dig but it is true) For me I don't care if your male, female, pink with purple polk -a -dots or green, I just want to improve my guitar playing and talk about music and guitars with people who have the same intrests and I can learn from. I hope more women do join and post on the forum just cause it is nice to have other ladies to talk to about music. Plus getting the female perspective sometimes is a great help but just more people in general will be awesome and a true testimate to the great place Kris has created. I can't speak as to why more women don't go on forums or even play guitar but I think it's fair to say that as this community grows and people see what a wonderful and informative tool this site is....also that Kris is going to great lenghts to make sure the forum is friendly to everyone....not just us ladies....you'll see more and more women joining. But that's just my point of view. Sorry kind of long. rok PS: I like the Stooges but the Marx Brothers were much better. Oh and us ladies even have our own little corner of the forum for those who didn't know. It's not very active I know but hopefully that will change Thanks again Kris!! I know you want to have a diverse community and you try very hard. You and your team deserve a lot of credit and I hope you know we apprciate all your hard work You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
