Hey I'm pretty happy with the forum being girl free to be honest, I mean do you wanna hear suggestions for flowers on pickups and them being pink etc?

Also I don't think bareknuckle is out to try and attract female users otherwise they would be called "my little pony pickups" instead :lol:

Muso you have to check that girl from the Donnas, man... she can really play SG & LPs, besides she is nice looking too. I have found very appealling the combination of girls & guitars. When anybody can really play we are past the appearences(at leats for a moment) which just add to the whole package. :)

so you fancy Jimmy Page!?! :o

i've got a couple of the Donnas' albums, Gold Medal is a brilliant record, i absolutely love the guitar tones on it. and the songs of course

in connection with the Marshall amp thread, i have it on DVD-Audio, where it sounds fabulous (darling)!

i remember seeing a girl in a guitar shop, she wanted to try out an LTD superstrat, but the assistant seemed determined to steer her towards the acoustic end of the room. when she finally got the LTD in her hands she let rip with this string of arpeggios up and down the neck, the look on the assistant's face was priceless! :lol: that girl could seriously play, wish i'd had the balls to go over and say hello

I also have an unreasionable attractions to female guitarists (and more so for female bass players) as long as they don't look like members of Girls School.

I used to get that with my ex - we used to go into guitar shops and she'd ask to try a metal type guitar. The assistant would get it down and spend 5 minutes showing off under the premise of tuning up and explaining how it all works only to be put to shame as she tore into Racer X's Scarified or some Tony Macalpine stuff.
She's now busy getting too much attention on myspace and getting offers of playing in all sorts of bands

My own experience of girl players is that they are attracted to exotic and dangerous looking guitars - i sold an axe bass to a girl player at Music Live a few years ago. Guys tend to be more conservative in their choices.
I think Daisy Rock are getting it all wrong - forget pink flower shaped guitars - they need to take a few lesssons from Drax!

I also agree with James Healey over girls not being interested in talking technical about gear - just getting on with playing it . It's the same with cars- they dont want to discuss BHp, torque settings and slip differential , but give them the keys to a sports car and they're off and there's no stopping them.

Yeah.. theres somethin about em when they stand there with a guitar.. if they can actually play it :P That guitarist from the Donnas was in a Total Guitar a while back, there was a picture with her surrounded by a load of nice guitars, it was a great shot - cant beat a photo with a hot girl and some nice looking guitars :)

In fact.. I remember there was a whole thread on HC called Girls'n'Guitars or something, I'll have to try and find it :)

Hmmm, thinking of complete new clichees now, instead of sending your wife to get some beer you can send her restring and setup some guitars :roll:

There are girls in here and I've sussed at least one of them, but I'm not going to blow their cover.

As for girl guitarists, there's plenty of good ones but after looking at 'The Great Kat' website, it's enough to put you off sex for life, unless you like having your bollocks crushed in the name of fun! :lol:

I've been in one like that but they don't look like they can play them so it's all a bit wank fantasy cr@p like chicks with guns! :lol:

Dakine · « **Reply #28 on:** October 29, 2006, 01:42:39 PM »

now what's wrong with chicks with guns? huh?

Long as they're NOT loaded of course ;)

Young girl in my local Guitar Center in Texas was manager (not saying much really though) of guitar section and could wipe the floor with most that came in. She was damn good at fixing me up with discounts and taking stuff back late too :)

She sounds cool to me! There was a feature in a guitar mag about these girls in Scotland who started their own guitar shop a while back and they were doing well at it too. It was funny to read about the old school blokes who came in and gave them a hard time for it though.

I knew a girl a while back who reckoned she came up with the idea for that Robert Palmer video in the 80's. she said he was a right w**ker and took the credit for it. If you read Bill Bryson's A Brief History Of Nearly Everything then it's apparent that this sort of thing has been going on for centurys! :lol:
