So do you guys have any friends who absolutely insist on pointing out the fact that you play guitar, even though you wish they'd shut the hell up and leave you alone?
I've got a best friend who I haven't seen in about 10 years and his mom used to sing in a country band.
I go to a bar with her and my friend and sure enough, she's bragging like hell that I'm a guitar player and saying how I can play Stairway to Heaven....

Next thing I know, she's up at the mic telling everybody in the audience how there's a 'great guitar player with us tonight.... and he's going to play stairway to heaven for us'....
aaargh.... I haven't played that stupid song in years, so sure enough I have to go up and stand in the middle of the stage and play it all by myself.
The spotlight's on me and I'm trying to remember it... but all I can remember is the the 'joke' version.
So what the hell.... I played this...

.... and they actually applauded like I'd played something amazing....
One girl comes up to me and says I'm really good.....

I'm thinkin..... like, what the f***
Am I tone deaf or is everybody in this bar totally wasted or what???
