The idea was a good one, but some of those questions needed a bit more workshopping. He, clearly, had only innocent intentions to host an honest discussion, but he kinda perpetuated some of the stereotypes they work to dispel. I applaud the effort. We need more of this!
Its great that women guitarists are getting their due and are treated well....At one time it was much diffrent...I read Lita Fords book Liveing like a runaway and she went through hell because she was a woman playing the guitar.
Please everybody, listen to Nita’s at 9:50, that’s totally true and parents have some guilt on that thing, some little girls a treated as princess and do not develop any skills or music instrument playing. Some parents think that girls can’t play an electric guitar but they said yes to see their little girls in a “perreo” (a reggaeton term for a kind of ass “twearking”) or be a sexy bomb babe which don’t defines a little female as a musician.
Mary Ford did not play as well as Les Paul. There are some video were they are swapping licks, she's only playing what he showed her to play. She mainly strummed chords and sang while Les shredded the guitar like nobody did in those days. To say that she played as well as Les? Are you kidding me?
I'd rather a woman get upset when breaking a string than break a nail. Please , more women guitarist. Look up Lari Basilio. Though she may not be as heavy metal as these awesome ladies, she can play a mean guitar.
What if we were all blind. You could never tell if the guitarist is black blue white male or female. When listing to music close your eye and listen. You will be amazed what you hear.
I don't see what the big deal is about women playing guitar, I think it's hot, but I'm into guitar, I tend to find it attractive when women have some of my hobbies, and I think most people are the same, are some guys really threatened because she can open a jam jar when they can't? I always thought that was meant as a joke, but if it's a problem start lifting weights, don't blame her for having a hobby!
'Playing with balls has a male connotation', I swear they were both trying not to laugh. Seriously though I can see that the questions were thought out but I still felt this was awkward. I guess I think if you keep bringing up the gender thing you reinforce the stereotypes. They are both great players and look good but the looks have nothing to do with their talent. But at least you tried something different and weren't fan girling out over them as some others from TGU have.
Thank you - Aboslutely - the problem with this topic is that you have the gender thing going wrong in both directions: women are belittled for playing guitar on the one side and some are uncritically overestimated for the same reason on the other side. The only thing everybody should do is: judge with your ears and not with your eyes! But let´s be honest: this is also showbusiness and also an attractive, tall man like Steve Vai had it easier than other less attractive male players. It´s a discussion where you have to differentiate in so many fields. fact is: there is no reason why women could not play on the same level as men - and again: listen with your ears
Haiko Heinz Absolutely I agree with that. I think if they had been asked "Do you want to be remembered as great guitarists or great female guitarists?" I'm pretty sure they would have said the former. Anyhow new to the channel, I guess coz of TGU and will keep on watching.
9:47 at least Nita acknowledged females have an easier time nowadays because of being girls. I know girls who don't post that often, who started with no followers and in a week had like 3000 followers
I think maybe the stereo type that Nita talks about began with Joan Jett. She got a lot of shitty treatment. But Joan changed the world because she took the sh*t and flew over it. Joan set the stage for men to shut the F up and let a girl rock. Then Nita, and Jen and others broadened the field. Such a good thing.
Nita always kind of over does it on the black eye makeup. The vampire look she's going for I guess. Surely she makes enough money to afford a new pair of jeans. LOL
LOL I notice Nita doesn't have the tattoos all up one arm (yet). If she avoids that insanity I'll let her put all the black paint on her eyes she wants. Don't understand the ripped jeans craze or the tattoo craze but I'm an old geezer from the old school.
Lots of girls playing great guitar on TH-cam and you get eye candy with the ear candy. A beauty tip for girls, start playing guitar. With a few exceptions it seems like these guitar girls look really good, like the two up there. Don't know if I would want a girlfriend that played better than me though. LOL My wife plays no instruments and has never wanted to.
in my opinion ... any woman who locks them self in a room for 10 -14 hours a day, for years, loses all there friends because of it, just to play guitar.... Can carry my guitar gear at any gig... Sorry... I couldnt resist that one... but seriously... "Anyone" that is compelled to go through that life of endless days of practice for years and losing touch with everyone around them... following a dream that takes really hard work.... did I say REALLY hard focused work? well... I would carry theyre gear anywhere... just as long as "anybody" didnt have a penis..
On the flip side, far more guys play guitar than girls. It's just not something you see every day. It doesn't mean their not good, it just means there are many more guys than girls who play, especially electric guitar.
With every other instrument in every other genre of music, no one cares about this shit. Only meathead hard rock fans care about this crap... 30 years ago. Does this convo even need too happen anymore? Isn't it offensive to even have this convo anymore?
I bet these super hyped girls have never watched girls like Tina S, Joanna Connor or Yoyo etc in teir life before. Those are the real role models for girls to pick up guitars....

3.25 Nita is dead on. My daughter's play bass and I LOVE telling people my girls ROCK!

i never understood dudes that didn't like girls in bands....i like women, guitars and marshall stacks-all three together.....complete win!
Maybe because they (or maybe me too) feel intimidated if a girl they want to impress is actually better at playing guitar than them (or me).
Nita and Jen...nice
Great interview. Ive met Nita and she is a very nice and cool person. Goal now is the to meet Jen.

"Yeah" -Jen Majura
Don’t forget Mary Ford. She played as well as Les Paul. In heels!

Agreed. I think Jennifer Batten would be a better example.
You Ladies Truly Rock!! Please keep up the Shredding 👍👍
I'd rather a woman get upset when breaking a string than break a nail. Please , more women guitarist. Look up Lari Basilio. Though she may not be as heavy metal as these awesome ladies, she can play a mean guitar.
both are great artists
What if we were all blind. You could never tell if the guitarist is black blue white male or female. When listing to music close your eye and listen. You will be amazed what you hear.
The important thing is they appeal to the girls, showing them the art of the possible.
Those girls and those guitars here please!!!! 😀 nice video!
Ron Burgundy plays the flute...
Playing the flute🙈if only he could take it back...

Interesting duscussion
2:29 Did she mean what I think she meant? God, I love her imagination! :)

Wake up! Nita Strauss & Jen Majura are dudes!
9:47 at least Nita acknowledged females have an easier time nowadays because of being girls. I know girls who don't post that often, who started with no followers and in a week had like 3000 followers

do they like anilingus?
Giving or receiving?

I play the triangle..and I get lots of girls.
Females have been playing guitar for years
Nita always kind of over does it on the black eye makeup. The vampire look she's going for I guess. Surely she makes enough money to afford a new pair of jeans. LOL
Maybe you should start a fashion/make-up channel, there's no reason boys shouldn't do that...
LOL I notice Nita doesn't have the tattoos all up one arm (yet). If she avoids that insanity I'll let her put all the black paint on her eyes she wants. Don't understand the ripped jeans craze or the tattoo craze but I'm an old geezer from the old school.
They are really men in drag. Trans-agenda.
Getting offended on behalf of women... Never go full sjw
Why is this guy talking about gender, it's irrelevant it's about being a skilled guitarist absolutely ridiculous subject!

Your comment started as interesting, but soon you ruined it... twice.
why so serious bruh ? :D
don't watch ... jack not plugged !
Hmm, girls and Ibanez guitars. I wouldn't mind being that guy right in between them! There's a reason girls play Ibanez, ya'll.
On the flip side, far more guys play guitar than girls. It's just not something you see every day. It doesn't mean their not good, it just means there are many more guys than girls who play, especially electric guitar.
Cuz Steve Vai did? That's the root of it for both of these women.
Excuse me for using my portuguese my english is not so good but

Wide shoulders, big ass feet, no hips, male jaw, big hands, male hair line, etc. Yep, two guitar dudes in drag. What a joke!
