This might be the feminist in me coming out and many of my guitar playing friends will probably point to technique over finger size and length-- for instance Black Sabbaths Tony Iommi was a master at his guitar with disfigured fingers in which he compensated with plastic finger tips-- but if you think about it women are at an evolutionary advantage over men in guitar playing, as they more often have long and thin fingers which would give you more stretching so (for ex. add9 chords) lower frets would be easier. Also, skinny fingers wont get crammed together on high frets, alike fat and stubby fingers of many men. However, there is a stigma it seems that girls cant play guitar, so it therefore effects how many female guitar heroes there are in the mainstream. However, there are a decent # more in the underground-mainstream, cult artists, etc..... See one of my favorite here......... Wata from Boris......https://youtube/watch?v=t_GgowniQWk
