What are your opinions on Female guitar players?

Okay, so I am fifteen, and i play guitar. I taught myself when I was 12, and have been playing since then. I play mostly Metal and Rock, like Lamb of God, Avenged Sevenfold, Alice in Chains, Van Halen, and Bullet for my Valentine. My question is, do guys find girls who play guitar...unattractive? Like too masculine? I mean, I dont look like a boy at all, I love makeup, and bright colored hair and clothes, and big chunky jewelry. But most girls i know who play guitar, they usually play acoustic, and stuff like Green Day, and things like that, and guys say its "cute". What are your opinions on Female guitar players who dont play things like that? All my guy friends treat me like "another one of the guys". What are your views on it?

Update:

Dags- See, thats my problem. Why bassists? Why is it that girls cant be guitarists in a male-dominated band? I find it kind of degrading, that they just get shoved to the back and are supposedly "just there for looks". The only girl Guitarists for a band I have ever seen, are in a band with other girls. Why is that?

    There is nothing sexier that a female bass player in an all male band. I think it's the surprise you get when a girl is providing the ballsy bottom end stuff. It might be the drums that gives you the beat but it's the bass that demands that you get up and dance.

    Girl guitarists don't have quite the same appeal for me, although I've known a couple of good ones.

    They stand or fall by their skill level in my book. I love guitar and I still like girls so it's a double whammy if the guitar is good AND the girl is good. Got to be both though.

    Have you ever heard of THIS lady Guitar player, Maybell Carter.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maybelle_Carter

    Had you had an opportunity to own any of her and her family's music you would be worth millions today. The royalties on all their music covered by other artist is staggaring.

    Read this Wickipedia entry about her "scratch" style of guitar playing. Hardly EVER duplicated even today. Beautiful lady and beautiful music. What more could a man ask for?

    No way

    Nancy Wilson of the rock group Heart is one of my favorite guitarist, not just female guitarist, but my favorite guitarist even among the guys

    Nancy showed that girls can rock too

    I cant speak for all the guys but I find girls like you to be very hot

    Source(s): Edit: Glad to see there are few people here who still remember Heart and what a great band they was.

    As a guitar player, girls that play are just THAT much sexier, doesn't matter if you play metal, blues, jazz, or country. Might just be me, but I have a thing for the little guitar playing chicks. Keep rockin out!

    Well, I am not a guy but that is pretty cool! I feel the same way about skateboarding and snowboarding. I'm very close to my brothers and it's just a hobby that we enjoy doing together. I'm from Germany, so I don't know what teenagers are really like in America, but I think you have a beautiful talent :)

    Take it as it comes. I was always the chick hanging around the guys. Being just another one of the guys isn't always such a bad thing, in a way it's very inviting. Less drama, as far as I'm concerned. Don't stress about them, someone will love the stuff you play and jam out with you.

    Til then rock that and don't you worry about a thing! :]

    Own your talent.

    Theres a lot of girls that play guitar the way you do. Its not a big deal or anything new. I'm sure a lot of guys will love your style.

    Hey, if I like the Metal band Kittie, I shouldn't have any problem with girls playing guitar/any instrument.

    I say kudos... and Many good years of rocking to you.

    I'm a female guitarist!

    So, I don't think my opinion is what you're really looking for, lol. But I am a bit of a tomboy... like, I'm absolutely obsessed w/ basketball... (especially the phoenix suns) and i can beat all the guys in my grade in one on one...
