Number two: the boobs
Jenny Slade says, ‘You know, if there’s one thing I get asked more than any other, it’s this: “Jenny,” girls will say, “is my chest too heavily built for me ever to become a truly good guitarist?”
‘I always try to be sympathetic. But first I say, is it really that big a problem? Unless you’re colossally stacked there are probably ways of getting round it.
‘Let’s face it, lots of guys who have massive beer bellies are still able to play guitar, and the truth is, most beer bellies are bigger than most breasts.
‘But if you genuinely find it a problem, if you’re really built like a pre-op Amazon, and if you’re really serious about the guitar, then a breast reduction operation has got to be worth considering. Either that or you’re going to have to change to playing pedal steel.’
