TARA Talk

Welcome to Guitar Girl Magazine and our debut of the digital/print magazine version of our popular music blog featuring girls that love to rock, interviews with inspiring singer-song writers, gear reviews, and so much more! Our followers know that I started the music blog geared toward female guitarists over five years ago with the vision of providing women a forum to not only be seen and heard, but to help them gain insights from other female musicians on how they overcame the many challenges a new artist faces in the competitive landscape of popular music.

At first, I was concerned about keeping a constant flow of content to keep readers engaged and coming back for more, but I soon found that there was a huge void where this type of publication could not be found. Artists from all over the country, and soon the world, came to us via their publicists longing for media exposure and to be taken seriously as a guitarist – not just a “pretty face” or the “she’s good for a girl” comment. Music fans, both female and male, found this unique coverage of female guitarists enlightening and entertaining. The fusion of these two realities launched Guitar Girl Magazine and it has been growing rapidly ever since.

Now, in the pages that follow, I am so proud to introduce you to some outstanding talent and take you into our world through multiple platforms including online, digital and print! This marks a key milestone in our development as a first-rate publication with rich content that is sure to please young and old, male and female, professional and novice, and lovers of music who want to see women excel!

This is our inaugural publication and we will be expanding and growing and adding more content as we go. I am so ready for this to begin…and if you are ready to join me, let’s go!!
