2009 March 25
A year and a half ago I wrote an artcle Women Guitar Players – Go Home and Practice Guys.
An important update is that Marcy Marxer now has a guitar network called Girls With Guitars.

A quote by Marcy from the site: Some may ask, ”Why do the girl guitar players need a website?” I’m happy to tell you why. I’m lucky to have a long and fairly illustrious career as a female guitar player. I’ve been a professional guitar player/concert performer/session player/recording artist for over 30 years (Yikes! How’s that possible?). After all this time people still come up to me and ask, “Why don’t more women play the guitar?” I’m still surprised by the question even though I’ve heard it hundreds of times and I’ve finally figured out a way to give people an answer. The answer is on the pages of Girls With Guitars.”
Many of my favorite guitar players are female. The guitar industry has been dominated by men for so long, it’s nice to see a gradual shift in the mentality over the years about the profile of female guitarists. Now we have Kaki King, Badi Assad, Muriel Anderson and other players who are great innovators and are pushing out the boundaries of acoustic guitar. I recommend you check out Girls With Guitars Network , I know this is the beginning of something massive.
thats very nice ……….may god bless you as your playing the gituar stay under his blood in GOOD LUCK
There is not enough “solo” female bass guitar players in the world. I like that fast, slippery, glide bass sound. it’s kind of difficult to find this on line anywhere. I think this style of bass guitar playing is called slap playing style, not sure though. Paul simon has a short stretch in his song/video called “you can call me al” where the bass guitar is played solo. Sounds great.
stopping by to say hello
cheers
