Fender Study Reveals That 50 Percent Of Aspiring Guitar Players Are Women
Playing the guitar is a talent or a hobby popularly associated with men, but findings of a new study defied the stereotype of male guitarists.
Guitar maker Fender consulted neuroscientist and musician Daniel Levitin to conduct a study involving 500 beginner guitarists in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The company worked with consultancy Egg Strategy to survey the guitar players for the research titled “Illuminating the State of Today’s Guitar Players.”
The survey had interesting results, one of which is that 50 percent of beginner and aspiring guitar players nowadays are female.
“Guitar players of today are more diverse than ever before,” Fender said in a statement. “Women continue to define the emerging guitar market, accounting for 50 percent of all beginner and aspirational players – begging the question, is the future of guitar female?”
