Excellent :lol
Essentially, the OP starts an attention getting thread, expecting the majority to side with with "no way dude! guitar is awesome! come over and play it!" but instead gets unanimously shot down but it's a universal truth that only tools pull out their guitar at parties.

So speaks someone who adds a hater to the queue every time he signs off a post with PEACE.

im just seeing this now. op, if someone busted out a guitar and played sweet home alabama at a party, i'd want to get the fuck out of there. i dont mind guitars at parties, but like music on an ipod, i want it to be good music.

. Few things give me as much satisfaction as picking out the intro to Sweet Home Alabama at a party. It's even better if there's a second guitarist so that you can throw some solos and fills in there.

I can just see the fucking smug grin on your face as you do this, yes you are a douche.

Usually I'd agree but for once GAF is dead-on. Everyone hates the guy who busts out their guitar at parties, because 99% of the time they can't play or sing, and as everyone has said, they suck the energy right out of the room.

Nah, most of the people arguing against guitars seen to be picturing someone who sets up in the middle of the room while the party is at its peak, tries to play over the music that's already playing or outright turns the music off, and really just demands that everyone pay attention.

What I was talking about is someone who sets up in the backyard or another room with some people who are in more of a chill mood, or maybe someone who busts out the guitar as the party is winding down (or as it's setting up).

TBH, I've never seen anyone do the former thing, but I agree that doing something like that would be pretty annoying.
 
for future reference.

FYI, regarding those attention-seeking guitarists, I've never even seen one, and I was really unaware that this kind of thing actually happened. The worst I've seen is when part of the party had migrated to someone's bedroom (probably to take shots or smoke a bowl or something), and the dude whose room it was busted out his guitar, but he could barely play. After a song or two, he handed it off to someone who was a much better player, and we actually had a really rocking vibe going on for awhile.


Also, if someone was playing something like that song in Animal House, I'd probably want to break the guitar as well. I was talking about people playing songs that are actually good.

Acoustic versions of Wonderwall and Sweet Home Alabama do not count as good songs. The studio ones are good, but played out.

Agree with you 100% on Wonderwall. I might agree on Sweet Home if not for the fact that I've gotten a sing-along going dozens of times by playing it.

Look in the mirror at a party, I guarantee you will see one.

Nope, those two I bolded, those are both douchy. I think you just need to come to terms with your douchiness. Douche happens.
 
99% of Gaf posters are guys.

Why does a guy care what another guy thinks if the whole point of busting out that guitar (if youre good) is to score with a chick you maybe wouldn't have otherwise had a chance with?

shizzz you called me out. I just stopped playing for people because they said my new sound was to electric and I was a sellout.

40 years after the fact. I am kidding anyways. I just found your response matched to your name to be funny.

Props on the Yvonne avatar though. I always knew Dylan had good taste.

I guess I'm just a huge douchebag. Fuck, you convinced me.
 
jamesinclair said:
If youre asked to bring the guitar and play, this is different.

If someone says "hey dude come to my place tomorrow at 10pm" and you show up with a guitar, instead of beer, you're a tool.

Pretty much this.

I don't know what you expected making this thread. What did you think you were going to convince us otherwise? :lol

Don't let us stop you from what you think is cool though
unless you happen to be at a party that we go to
, just don't try and tell us your not a douche. Accept it.
 
Jesus.. you fuckers and Wonderwall. At least pick a good Oasis sing-a-long like Live Forever or Don't Look Back In Anger.

I've never played Wonderwall. I don't even know what chords it uses, although I'm sure they include either C, G D or E, A B.

I was thinking about trying to learn Champagne Supernova though.
 
I hate nothing more then having to listen to someone with basic guitar skills play radiohead covers while drinking Kava..

thats BYU (utah county = mormons) for ya!
 
I think guitar at a party is okay IF it's out in the garage or backyard or somewhere that is totally elective for people to go to. Everybody in the house is partying and then there are a few people smoking cigarettes and taking turns playing songs out back or whatever.

Mayhaps. How do you feel the pussy intake has been? Is it at acoustic guitar levels of getting laid, or is your inner douchebag being ignored by the ladies? PEACE.

somehow almost more douchy. i mean the guy that brings an axe to a dance party is going to have to plug it into some serious hardware to break through the noise, and serious hardware requires a serious song, some serious playing and a seriously magnificent douchebag.

you can almost respect that level of anti-social obnoxiousness. you just know there's some assless chaps and a flying v involved.

but the whole "in a quiet side room" shit, well then you're just keeping your balls in your purse and taking advantage of the situation, maybe you'll luck out there'll be a hot girl with a dead grandmother in there.
 
OP posts a thread supposedly asking for comments and opinions

but then proceeds to vehemently defend himself against all opinions expressed negatively against him, and also ignores many ones that he can't muster a reply against.


It's very sad.

GAF is trial by fire, my friend. :D PEACE.
 
Salazar is now my favourite poster. Every single time he finishes with "PEACE." makes me want to punch someone.

Edit: Pimpwerx, not Salazar. A mod should change his name to fucking PEACE.werx

Dont worry, he will be disappearing soon.
 
there is nothing more douchey than listening to some guy play time of your life or some other terrible 90s crap on acoustic

if only that was true
 
Someone hit on the head earlier. You probably get about the same amount of girls in the long run as a normal guy does. Only difference is, you are pissing your chances with 95% of the people there who didn't need some wanker singing Radiohead. Using a cheap gimmick to land attention from a few, while pissing off the majority.

It was like one of the emo kids at my old high school. He would drag his guitar to school daily. We would see him after school playing while we were up in the Gymnastics balcony sometimes. And it basically came down to...you better hope that small click of people don't bail on your ass one day. Because beside being known as the douche who brings his guitar to school, you are also the kid who got caught jerking off in the bathroom and got knocked out in baseball by missing a fly ball. Not in a good spot to make new ones.
