I think it's quite sad that girl guitar players are so rare that when a dozen or so videos of mediocre playing females are found, a celebratory thread is made.
And no offence to you, Darin, but I think the title could be pretty offensive to any females potentially on the site. The "...by a chick!!" is pretty demeaning, to be honest ,as if 'chicks' are sufficiently 'below' us men that 'having our clock cleaned' or whatever should be a surprise.
People would take offense if the thread was about black people - another under-represented group in guitar-playing - instead of girls.

So Jemface..... while your all up on your bad self and doling out the diatribe on sexism, you may want to consider your own post! If anything in this thread is sexist and mediocre it's your attempt to berate Darin while putting both of your own feet in your mouth.
Jemplayer you have to understand it's just Jemface being Dannymills uh I mean Jemface......What do you expect?
This thread is getting funny. I'm not sexist. I don't think girls/ladies/gals/women/females/male gender challenged persons are so weak and defenensless that they'd be any more offended being called 'chicks' than we would be being called 'dudes'. I'd bet they'd all be encouraged by the title of this thread. My daugher has a screen name of wakechick. She wakeboards, and shes's a chick. I feel sorry for people runnin aroung life looking for all things offensive.
Face it. Most people just don't expect to see girls play guitar solos well. Its a wonderful beautiful rarity, and a welcome one.
I've always wondered why that is, really.
Perhaps a guitar is a macho instrument.
When you look at violin for example, that's quite a feminine instrument... There are many female violin players, perhaps even more than male ones?
I always think women look uncomfortable with a guitar. The guitar seems rather big compared to their hands and body. But these women manage to play just as well as some of the best guys out there, so perhaps they don't see the problem. I don't have a problem with girls playing guitar, and playing really well. The more, the merrier
Well I'm a woman that plays guitar. I love playing guitar , it's an outlet for me and also a way of life. Without music, I'd be nothing. In this video I had worked on this song for a bit and still messed up. That doesn't mean I'm giving up... I really don't care what people think about my playing ability or me as a female playing. ))) CHEERS!
I think this whole thing came about because I viewed the lipses and exclamation marks as an expression of surprise that a 'chick' could, in fact, be superior at guitar.
As a side note, why on earth does cleaning somebody's clock equate to being better than them!? Lol!
Not smarter. Just that they kicked your butt. That Funky Strat girl beat me to a pulp.
Let's see your vid of you playing, so we can decide if any of those chicks cleaned your clock.
I am 41, I knew absolutely zero girls that could noodle growing up, and never saw any girl besides Lita Ford, who I saw in concert in the 80's actually be able to solo on a guitar. Now with Youtube, the world is alot smaller, and we get to see girls from all over the world play. Call it sexist all you want. It's just rare to find girls that play guitar solo's, and play them well. Sexist would be, if I said girls AREN'T as good as guys.
HAHAH thanks much for your kind words. You know, I forget a lot too. .... but, I get where you're coming from. I feel the same about you... from what I've heard... you have skills as well and agree about who gives a "****" about gender!
Dude... shut up!
You seem like a nice guy. Don't ruin it - you just came off like a right twat.
Sensationalist, attention-seeking twats. Someone should outlaw that on the grounds that it's negligent in showing regard to the child's mental health - the taunting etc. will be unbearable.
little more than an immature twat
Might wanna get your facts straight Danny. Find any post where I use that word. Nuff said enjoy your Lucky Charms and have fun baiting members.
Was the first bit of that post mean to be a comeback? Yes, I USE the word 'twat'. However, I do not find it funny or giggle like a child when it is said lots. I don't see how this can be a rebuttal, or even a point on its own. What the hell were you trying to do? However, I obviously confused you with Twooos for a second, regarding the thread.
My point still stands. I'll repeat the post, and would like to hear a reply from you that DOESN'T avoid the point, which also explains how I 'bait' members.
I would appreciate it if you weren't so openly rude about me when you yourself demonstrate such constant immaturity and bring so little of value to the site, the vast bulk of your content comprising youtube clips or spoof articles circulated by your 13-15 year old friends at school with all the maturity that one should expect from somebody who made a whole thread about "a skanky milf" in the Dove ads, thinking it would be as funny as when they showed it to said 13-15 year-old mates
I hope to god this is true and you are, in fact, under 16, or else there is something seriously wrong with you.
