Well this seems to be a fairly dead forum ???
It has its quiet moments, but it's here to focus on women's issues in music and they don't bang on like us guys do.

Or maybe women think more before they post. I know I should do that more. I drop by this forum here and there to get some ideas.

Could be their busy practicing and learning other guitar things.

Or maybe it's because we have to spend all of our free time taking care of you men! ;D

Ouch! :'( That hurts. Probably because I think you're right! I'm of the opinion that life is tougher for women than men in most ways. Elaboration would take pages and pages.

Well that totally depends on the individual. But I don't want to get into that whole argument. lol
Btw, I saw on this little show at 6:30 in the morning this group, a chick (she was hot. Although I'm sure the women didn't need to know that.) singing and playing rhythm and a dude (he was only so-so. Not very hot if you ask me. But the dudes didn't need to know that.) playing lead guitar. I think their names were Eve and Adam, and I got the impression she was pretty much the singer/songwriter/frontwoman of the group. Anyway, they were totally amazing. I mean awe-inspiring. With two guitars, these two people who I have never heard of, probably never will hear of again (I tried looking for them online but had no luck), were right up there with whom I consider the greats. (Portishead, Bjork, Peter Gabriel, Dave Matthews, etc.)
I was totally taken with the two songs they played, and I just thought it was a terrible shame that they'll never be famous and most people will never hear their music, because they don't fit the marketable pop music world.
Ps. I figured this thread had no topic anyway, so it's therefor impossible for me to be off topic. ;D
Ziggy, what kind of music did these folks play? What was the name of the show they were on? Now I'm intrigued and want to find out who the mystery players are. :P
