Q: Why aren’t there more “serious” female guitar players?
A: There are a lot of serious female guitar players, but I think part of the reason that they can get lost in the shuffle is that guitar playing is all about a vibe, and no matter how technical a player is, they need to have a magical connection with the guitar. That’s what people connect with. Eddie Van Halen is very technical, but he’s also comfortable and has fun with his playing, and that’s the real reason he’s so famous. Female musicians tend to feel that they need to overcompensate for being a woman in the industry, and that can lead to being TOO technical (boring), TOO showy (tragic) or TOO safe (boring). In my opinion, the less you care about being perfect, the more interesting and magnetic you become.
