It's pretty rare to see a girl on lead guitar in bands. I asked a friend why and he said that girls don't have the mental capacity to learn such a difficult instrument. He's generally a little on the sexist side towards me.
I've been wanting to play for a while now, and this comment slightly put me off.
But I think that it's worth the try whether I am capable or not. It's better to say "I can't play and I have tried" rather than "I can't play and I haven't tried".
Another friend is lending me a guitar to practice on so it's not much money wasted if I give it up.
Perhaps other members can give me some tips? Preferably of either gender.
I'd like to know which the best "teach yourself" books are, whether it's best to learn chords first, or start with songs, e.t.c.
All tips, help and comments are taken with much gratitude and thanks.
