Between classic sibling rivalry and the fact that guys hate to be 'beat by a girl'.... yeah, you'd play better than her - or die trying! :D

There's no way that if a guy and a girl practice the same way for the same time that one is going to be better than the other. Guys usually have bigger hands - maybe that might help, but otherwise no difference. Guys may generally be competitive, but guitar playing isn't a competition.

Based on the numbers, maybe women in general don't want to play the guitar? If they did, and women played as well as men, then we'd know more female guitar players. Something must be up or we'd have a Doris Satriani....

So, either:

Women don't want to play guitar, or
They're not very good at it for reasons unknown
