This wouuld probably be something to talk about.
I wonder why it is this is true.
It's not like women cannot sing. They can. Often better than men. Then those that are known for singing as well as playing their guitars are pretty good. But that's the thing there. Pretty good. You don't often hear a woman's name mentioned is the same sentences that the common (even cliched) guitar gods, Van Halen, Hendrix, SRV, Malmsteen, Pat Metheny (I like this dude) are mentioned. I'm told there are some awesome female classical guitarists out there, but if you ask someone to mention a Mozart of classical guitarists, they're most likely to say Francesco Tarrega.
I know there's gender discirmination in many places in life, but music, I think, is not one of the places. So I always wonder at this apparent discrepancy.

Off the top of your head, name someone you consider a guitar guru.
Was the first name that came to mind a woman?
How come?
I wonder.
