Why Females DON'T Play Electric Guitar? | Explained by Female Guitarist

Why are there so few female electric guitarists? If 50% of beginners are female… why don’t we see that reflected in advanced players, bands, or guitar content online? In this video, I break down the real reasons behind the gender gap in electric guitar — from confidence and culture to stereotypes, role models, and the reality of the guitar community. As a female guitarist myself, I also share my personal experience learning guitar, why I stuck with it, and why so many others might not. This isn’t about ability — it’s about what happens between starting and actually becoming a serious player. 🎸 Topics covered: Fender’s “50% female beginners” claim (and what’s wrong with it) Why fewer women reach intermediate/advanced level The confidence gap in learning guitar Stereotypes in rock and guitar culture Gear culture (GAS) and why it matters Lack of relatable role models My personal experience as a female guitarist If you play guitar (or are thinking about starting), I’d love to hear your experience in the comments. 👍 Like & subscribe for guitar covers, multi-instrument recordings, and original content. #Guitar #FemaleGuitarist #ElectricGuitar #GuitarCommunity #musicdiscussion #viralvideo #shockingfacts - - - - - - - - - - - - - - About me and the channel! 🎸 Hey, I’m Angelina Josephine — a 19-year-old multi-instrumentalist who loves classic pop and rock!
