You Killed It Man... In The Bad Way... Like Murder...


So here I sit, in my bedroom with the door wide open, listening to my roommate practice the 5 songs he knows on the Guitar. He is practicing because tonight he is taking some chick to the beach for a bonfire and he promised her he'd play guitar for her...

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, I BEG YOU, DO NOT DO THIS FOR HER.

I am sitting here cringing/laughing my ass off at how... hm how do I put this politely... how "OFF" he sounds. The first song he played is Oasis: Wonderwall. From what I believe this is the most basic song to learn on the guitar. Now I'll admit I do not play the guitar nor have I ever tried, but I do know what good music sounds like. He is KILLING the song, and no not in the good, "Man you killed that!" way, in the "Dude, you're killing/murdering that song."
First his voice is not up to par. By any means. I'd say he's about 64% tone deaf and his guitar skills aren't where they should be if you are trying to impress a girl with your skills. If I were this girl, on this date, I don't know what I would do with myself. I'd probably laugh since that is the most obvious reaction, since I would be unable to lie and tell him "you sound great."
Oh great now he's playing Hotel California by The Eagles. Come on buddy, the rhythm of the song is faster than what you are playing. Oops hit a wrong note there, scratch that hit a whole wrong verse. Ah now more singing. Yep still tone deaf. The best part of that song was the end... literally.

I have high hopes for this kid, he's a great guy, but hey... really, I don't advise you to do this for her if you want to get in her pants.
