People have been learning and playing this instrument, like what's the point? Why would a person even want to undertake learning this difficult musical instrument in the first place? If people learn it, they will never be as cool as any of the guitar heroes of the past, so, what is the goal in mind of youngsters trying to learn how to play the ax? If you can somehow succeed in being as cool as guitar heroes of the past, then i apologize, and salute you. Most of the time, the person trying to learn it will find early on that it's far too difficult and they will just give up.
So why even begin? Take it from me, if something seems like it's too difficult, don't even bother, cuz it probably is.
Expecially if the person is not good at anything else, why would they think they would be good at That?!? |

I play for fun without the slightest delusions that I'll ever be as good or cool as the greats. It's enough to just crank the volume and let the vibrating soundwaves of a power chord resonate through my bones. The ability to do that can make the meekest man feel like a thunder god.
Playing shouldn't be difficult. A challenge sometimes? Yes, but challenges are fun, especially once you succeed. Most playing is just muscle memory and problem solving, and neither are beyond anyone.

Because a dude who is a 6 becomes an 8 in a girl's eyes if he can play guitar. I didn't realize how universal this was until I started a band. But by that time, I had long been married and so couldn't reap any of the benefits. Good timing, self!  |

Girls coming up on stage, approaching you after shows. I've never been single throughout my band days, so I know where you're coming from. |

But yes, I'm 40, and even so, hot girls in their 20s hit on me almost every gig. it can be awkward sometimes. Hot girls do not like being shut down. They are not at all used to the experience. |

I was in a band at that time of my life, but was still not single. No they don't like it. It's always kind of awkward, because when it happens as a guy my first instinct is "man I wish I could act on this," but you know you can't, so you have to shoot it down without being too big of a douche. Then it's always fun when it happens when your girl is standing with you. I've had that happen a few times. |

If you have any tips how to immediately friend zone a girl without lying or making yourself look stupid, I'm all ears. I generally just end up making myself look like the guy who has no idea he's being hit on. The girl walks away thinking I'm a complete idiot. |

I usually just say, "sorry, I have a girlfriend." But I have done what you said and act oblivious about being hit on. |
