21 Problems All Guitarists Share

21. People Assume You're A Singer Songwriter

A lot of people will ask: €œso do you sing as well?€. Singing and playing guitar seem to go together like cheese and crackers: everybody thinks that people who play guitar want to be the next Ed Sheeran or Laura Marling. While we may not be adverse to warbling mournfully over an A minor arpeggio, the only real answer to this is awkwardly mumbling €œer, I guess, like sometimes€. Unless you're a pretty decent singer who can carry a tune, admitting that you spend your evenings hunched over a Brand New acoustic tab and singing quietly to yourself in case anyone else hears is fairly embarrassing.

Fan of Taylor Swift and the Dead Kennedys (a duet I can only dream of). I like dystopias, slasher films, and video games that make me feel things.
