| description |
This article investigates the state of the research on women and the electric guitar and argues that there is a strong need for further research in this area. Existing scholarship primarily focuses on factors that inhibit women from playing the electric guitar, is mostly centered on offline/pre-Internet women and guitar relations and tends to link the electric guitar with masculinity and male sexuality and characterize it as a male-dominated practice. This means that the reasons why women do play the electric guitar are not given much attention, the Internet’s impact on women’s guitar practice is largely omitted, and other ways of approaching the relationship between gender and the electric guitar are given minimal consideration. I argue that all of these aspects are vital for better understanding women and the electric guitar, and for advancing the cause of gender equality in music and are therefore in urgent need of further research. |

Este artículo aborda el estado de la investigación sobre las mujeres y la guitarra eléctrica y sostiene que existe una gran necesidad de realizar más investigaciones sobre el tema. Los estudios existentes se centran principalmente en los factores que inhiben a las mujeres a tocar la guitarra eléctrica y en las relaciones entre las mujeres y la guitarra offline o antes de la aparición de Internet. Asimismo, tienden a vincular la guitarra eléctrica con la masculinidad y la sexualidad masculina y a caracterizarla como una práctica dominada por los hombres. Esto significa que no se presta mucha atención a las razones por las que las mujeres tocan la guitarra eléctrica, se omite en gran medida el impacto de Internet en la práctica femenina de la guitarra y se da mínima consideración a otras formas de abordar la relación entre el género y el instrumento. Sostengo que todos estos aspectos son vitales para comprender mejor el tema, y para promover la causa de la igualdad de género en la música y, por lo tanto, son necesarias con urgencia más investigaciones. Este artigo investiga o estado da pesquisa sobre as mulheres e a guitarra elétrica e argumenta sobre a necessidade de mais pesquisas nesta área. Os estudos existentes concentram-se principalmente na análise dos fatores que inibem as mulheres de tocar guitarra elétrica, focam-se principalmente nas mulheres off-line/pré-Internet e nas relações com guitarra, e tendem a vincular a guitarra elétrica à masculinidade e à sexualidade masculina e caracterizando-a como uma prática dominada pelos homens. Isto significa que as razões pelas quais as mulheres tocam guitarra eléctrica não recebem muita atenção, o impacto da Internet na prática da guitarra pelas mulheres é largamente omitido, e outras formas de abordar a relação entre o género e a guitarra eléctrica recebem pouca consideração. Defendo que todos estes aspectos são vitais para uma melhor compreensão das mulheres e da guitarra eléctrica, e para o avanço da causa da igualdade de género na música e, portanto, necessitam urgentemente de mais investigação.
