Interesting you should bring that up. Crissie Hynde was fretting about this issue on an interview I saw. Her point was that it isn't that a woman couldn't become as good as a man a guitar, it just that not many women will sit and do nothing but practice the guitar to the extent that say Jeff Beck did. The guy was either playing guitar in public or he was home sitting on his bed playing for hour after hour. A women may become a great concert pianist but chances are her family had her playing from the time she knew she had fingers. As for the guitar, young females are not made to learn it to the extent and in the numbers that they do with the piano. A solution could be to impress upon the public to force their young girl children to play guitar and stand over them for hours while the other children play reindeer games, but this is a cultural impossibility. I think young boys will see the guitar as a method to get what they want and ,with that belief, sink all of their free time into it. In conclusion, women could be just as great as any man but should probably start younger because that "sexual" motivation isn't a motivating factor. I could be wrong.Originally posted by LostGrrlDies
So, I guess women must really suck at playing guitar...

The guitarist from the Police. Something Copeland isn't it? Not Stewart Copeland because that is the drummer his brother though played guitar in the Police. Or am I just having a serious brain fart.

BTW Stewart Copeland is a very well respected drummer that has played with many great artists along the way.

Very true. I have the self-titled album from Oysterhead - Copeland, Trey Anastasio from Phish, and Les Claypool from Primus. Pretty good stuff.
Wasn't Copeland touring with Manzarek and company with this new Doors thing? I think he's not with them anymore. Any idea what happened?

Andy Summers is the guitarist from The Police. That band has always been a Trio. Sting-vocals, bass; Andy Summers-lead; Stewart Copeland-precussion.
