Women are allowed to be pop divas, heart-on-sleeve singer-songwriters, or at a push, four-chord pop-punks. Guitar-shredding virtuosos don’t fit in any of those boxes.

Though to be fair, excluding “heritage acts”, when did you last hear a virtuoso lead guitarist of any gender promoted by a major label?

I cannot believe that such sexist attitudes represent more than a minority of fans. Why should they dictate who does and doesn’t get signed ?
