RobK Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 So I've been getting pretty into guitar, after playing bass for something like 2 years, I decided a few months ago to pick up an acoustic and learn some folky songs. And I really really love it. My issue is, when I go to social gatherings, like camping, or the beach, (not house parties that'd be weird) I would like to play a bit, since it's one of my favorite things to do.But I'm afraid I'm going to be seen as a douche who tries to look cool with a guitar, and I don't want to annoy people, so what should I do in this case? Just leave it at home? Also general thoughts on guys who do this? I think as long as you sport a man-bun or a slouch-knitted hat you'll be just fine. :D 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) OMG, like, the fact that there's guys out there who play the instrument just to get laid ruins it for me. Like, literally! I'm overly concerned with what other people's intentions are! I think I'll play the bass instead, it's less mainstream.

fraroc Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I wouldn't want to be "that guy". The point of going to the beach, at least anywhere around here, is to be outdoors (away from human noise, etc). I realize in certain parts of the country the beach is more like a frat house than nature preserve, so it would depend on the etiquette for that area. If you do go, and expect to play "for others", then learn a bunch of cover songs. Wish You Were Here, Stairway, etc. Stuff that people know well and is acoustic based. Otherwise you'll just bore and annoy with pointless noodling. Would you call La Villa Strangiato pointless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Star Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Don't do anything public unless your pretty proficient.. otherwise it can be a sure-fire way to alienate yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraroc Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 http://youtu.be/8V_hCqO6UQs Heh, seriously, go ahead and do it! Be prepared for people to ask for requests and ask you to sing (vs. just playing) but it's always nice to listen to someone who can play. :guitar: "I gave my love a chicken that had no bone." Wow...that's literally BOTDF tier lyrical content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
