Retards

Hlao-roo	Date: November 17, 2004 @ 2:55 PM I just met someone who said he could play the guitar in like a week... I got pissed of at him and called hima retard... He doesn't understand how much we as guitar players go through!!! How much practice and... ahhh... I wanted to hit him... This happen to you?
Droquen	Date: November 17, 2004 @ 3:23 PM I get the opposite effect actually. I try and get my friends to play guitar and they always say that "it's too much work" or they "don't have the patience".
sqrlcub	Date: November 17, 2004 @ 5:40 PM What are you talking about? I just picked it up one day and could play Paganini and all that tough sounding shit... then I woke up.
Hlao-roo	Date: November 18, 2004 @ 2:20 PM I had one guy tell me he had been playing for six months... After a played Van Halen.. I was like
Irelevemyslf...	Date: November 20, 2004 @ 6:16 PM HA CHANCE THAT'S GREAT!! I bet I can learn how to play a guitar in one day!!..Yeah right ( saying sarcastically) But hey I am saving up money for a electric guitar..and your gonna hafta teach me..
28steps	Date: December 17, 2004 @ 7:35 PM i freaken hate people who walk into a room with a guitar, sit down, and start playing, thinking they're amazing. it pisses me off. when they're playing so shitty and i know i'm better then them, but they think they're so good. GOD! i hate it. just wanted to let that out. thanks.
kredd	Date: December 17, 2004 @ 11:15 PM some people are just legends in their own mind. you just have to nod and smile and back away from them slowly...
zedsalt	Date: December 18, 2004 @ 11:18 AM Oh, sure, anyone can play guitar instantly...but playing it WELL instantly or with very little practice...it's not beyond the realm of possibility, but I'd think that it's freakishly rare. I mean, a limbless three-month old could knock over a guitar and start strumming with his tongue, and one couldn't say the tyke "can't play guitar". Now, if something akin to VH's "Eruption" came out, well, then you got yourself a sideshow! Call the tabloids!
Spott	Date: January 4, 2005 @ 3:55 PM Well, I see this kind everyday. They're usually pretty young guys though..... Hey, I've been playing guitar for about 27 years and I still think that my playing is nothing more than "adequate". There is always room for improvement.
victorsskull	Date: January 4, 2005 @ 5:36 PM I agree with spot we can always be better then we are and stuff
mudshadow	Date: January 4, 2005 @ 5:37 PM Amen bro.
houstonbabygirl	Date: January 16, 2005 @ 11:30 AM thats just great
AdamsGod	Date: January 16, 2005 @ 2:40 PM i've been playing for years now.. and when i'm asked what i do in music, i say.. I SING, idont see myself as a guitar player.. even though all my music is first written on a guitar.
shadowself	Date: January 16, 2005 @ 4:48 PM Same with me, AdamsGod. I consider myself a keyboard player and singer. Guitar is something I fart around with, and have only actually owned one for about 3 or 4 years. And I can't play an electric to save my life.
AdamsGod	Date: January 16, 2005 @ 5:01 PM i've been playing for.. over 10 years,electric, acoustic and classical guitars. but, i'm still not a guitar player.
shadowself	Date: January 16, 2005 @ 5:20 PM AdamsGod: Oh, hey! You're that I'm A Bullet Now guy! That's such a COOL COOL song.
MCCUBED	Date: January 16, 2005 @ 11:43 PM I LEARNED HOW TO PLAY GUITAR IN A DAY. IT WAS EXACTLY A YEAR AND A DAY.
szadawn	Date: January 20, 2005 @ 12:34 AM Guitar is so complex but some people make the simplest use of it. These types are known as 3-chord wonders. The rest of us work like mad to keep improving...working on scales, modes, inversions, etc. It's a neverending climb. It's an obsession. It's a heavy load when you have to carry it around the city. It's a companion on long train rides. It's looked at suspiciously by some mainstream day-jobbers - they think you're dangerous. It's a warm, personal instrument - unlike piano which is cold and impersonal.
Hlao-roo	Date: January 21, 2005 @ 12:41 PM Yeah, I agree... and I like to take pride in the fact that I have spent four years... even though I still suck, I can play some easy stuff... But when my brother who has no musical talent nor TOUCHED a guiter says he can read tabs...
chris-kruk	Date: January 22, 2005 @ 2:30 AM yes, I think i am a guitarist and i've been playing for twelve years, and being a "guitarist" means you leave room for improvement, otherwise, what the hell are we doin!
hueseph	Date: January 23, 2005 @ 5:25 AM Anyone can read tabs. Playing what you're reading. Now that's a different story. Been playing for near 20 years and still have lot's of room for improvement. I know what I want to play. It's just gettin my fingers to do it.
johnnygnote	Date: January 23, 2005 @ 7:27 PM I've played Guitar since I was 13, I'm 51 now...yet it's like AdamsGod said I still consider myself a singer not a guitar player, I've know some people who picked up the guitar and in a matter of months became quite vertuoso. I think some people just have a knack like math, some people get it and some people struggle for years. I don't consider myself a great guitar player but I think I play pretty well. I also play other instruments so I guess you might say I multitask as a musician. It's true some people think it's just fun and games and lack the understanding that it takes concentration, devotion and sometimes a bit of suffering to get good.
BOWILLIE	Date: February 4, 2005 @ 10:18 AM amen j.gnote...got about 25 yrs. myself...but then again ima self taught left handed upside down guitar/bass player...play by ear..took me twice as long to learn...to hard headed to learn the right way!
