GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ 15 Reaons Why Guitars Are Better Than Girlfriends
Posted by: AIB234 Jun 29 2007, 03:55 PM
Stolen from: http://ultimate-guitar.com/columns/junkyard/15_reasons_why_guitars_are_better_than_girlfriends.html
01. Girls dump you. A guitar will always be there when you get home.
02. A guitar's minimum requirement is an amp. A girl's minimum requirement is shoes, clothes, makeup, a mirror, magazines, more shoes and a tiny handbag. And that's every week!
03. You'll never turn on a girl as fast as you can turn on an amp.
04. If your guitar sounds crap, you can tune it. If your girl talks crap you're stuck with her.
05. Guitar's, unlike girls, have volume control which goes all the way down.
06. If you play your guitar crap, it tells you its crap. It doesn't lie and pretend you did it right when you didn't!
07. Two girls at once is hard to come by. Double kneck guitars are not.
08. Your guitar makes a sound only when you want it to.
09. Nobody cares when you dump your old, out of date guitar for a new, younger model. In fact it's encouraged.
10. With a guitar, you can copy tunes from other songs. With a girl, try telling her you're copying some moves from an ex and she'll throw you out.
11. Your guitar doesn't refuse to let you play it once a month.
12. Your guitar will never find out if you've been playing another guitar behind its back.
13. You don't have to get guitars drunk before using them.
14. You can stare at a guitar all you like, but stare at a girl too long and you'll end up in an immense amount of pain.
15. Watching other people play the guitar is entertaining. Watching other people do it is just sick!

A guitar chick? That would be a dream come true for me! But I'm not holding my breath. It's hard enough to find guys who are serious about guitar where I live, let alone a girl.
I'm pretty sure I have a better chance at winning the lottery (about 1 in 14 000 000) than finding a girl who I can talk to about sweep picking or pentatonic runs

I found it while I was aimlessly searching UG for articles to read in boredom.
Glad you all enjoyed it
Apologies if it offends any of the females but c'mon, it is pretty funny! ...you don't have to admit it's true even though we all know the truth

Damn, I guess im really lucky then huh!! I just thought it was nothing finding them, but now i know its not. But keep on trying guys. You will eventually find one!!
I got faith in you if you really want it enough!!

I got faith in you if you really want it enough!!damn,man you are really lucky, does ur gf really digs pentatonic stuff, legato, sweeping and that stuff?
Posted by: Ryan Jun 30 2007, 01:42 AM
Oh shes not that far yet. Shes in the first year of playing. Taking lessons from this dushbag. For 100$ a month. He went from the songs like Enter the Sandman. Jumping straight into Turkish Delight. Then jumped to Learning Musical Notation. What the notes are and everything on the bar. And in the first year. She doesnt evne know how to play a pentatonic scale. She knows 2 boxes. But dont know the roots or nothing. Just a box to play. Whats the use of a Box if you dont know what type it is, what key its in, and how to apply it to you playing!!! Im sorry, but you might think he has a good schedule, but i think this guy Randy Key sucks. He yelled at her one day, because she didnt understand something. A teacher isnt suppose to do that, but enough about that. I could go on and on about how much of a better teacher i would be than him. And i believe that im only past a beginner stage MAYBE, but thats what i think. Im just now playuing the Luca Terrilly Lesson up to speed and the semi-clean sweeps
. Oh sorry that was off-topic, but yea shes not very far into guitaring and barely knows the basics. She doesnt know barre chords or nothing. Just learning how to AP. But shes an amazing girl. She treats me like a baby . It might sound bad. But its great to ge tpissed off at her. Then she just jumps and grabs you. And the hugs and kisses and eveyrthing WOW I love her!!! I hope you find a rocking guitar girl like mine. You will give up guitar for her. I garuntee it!!

And we know one thing, if she keeps learning and practcing like all of us, she'll be able to shred in no time!
. You are very lucky dude, and you seem very happy with her, take care of her and never let her go! I havent been lucky right now..But id really like a girl who shares the same passions as me: guitar, but music in general. But im just waiting for that to happen..Hopefully soon....
Posted by: Ryan Jun 30 2007, 04:15 AM
I bet you it will happen!! If you keep an eye out, and dont just settle for less. Acutally go and get waht yoru looking for!! I believe that anybody can get what they want. If they try hard enough!!
Posted by: FretDancer69 Jun 30 2007, 05:23 AM
yeah man, you are absolutely right.!
btw, im surprised no females have replied to this topic, we are safe..at least until now
Posted by: Smikey2006 Jun 30 2007, 05:32 AM
All im looking for in a girl is someone who listens to opeth.. seems like little to ask.. butttt its the qualities who go along with someone who listens to opeth prep for me = bad.. probably = bad for alot of guys who are serious about guitar. My ex when she wasn't my ex hated the fact that i played guitar.. her only comment would be IT WOULD BE AMAZING IF YOU COULD PLAY THIS SONG.. she didn't think i could play anything and then she would give me journy songs to learn..... not bashing journey but they arn't the hardest things in the world to play. therefore prep = bad Opeth= good, my friends girl listens to opeth.. i want to steal her... jk that wud be mean
Posted by: GroovinMastiff Jun 30 2007, 05:34 AM
I got faith in you if you really want it enough!!I will certainly try my best, maybe I can try a dating web-site...
Nah, I'll just break out a few GMC solos at a party or something, and all the hotties will swarm towards me

Yea man,
That'd be really cool to find a girl who plays guitar.
....and sings....
...like this girl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK8PxZgMrGY
^ I think she has an amazing voice. and it's really cute when she gets tripped up a bit right at the end. sorry off topic a little.
but yea I've been single for too long. I need to find myself a nice guitar-playing girl. Or a girl that wants to learn guitar...cause that would make it way easy to earn brownie points and be cute and impress her at the same time haha.

Posted by: Ryan Jun 30 2007, 08:25 AM
