Beautiful girls don't play the guitar

I think is a cliche or something.Anyway,is it true?
Who's ever seen a fly mama walking down the street with a six string slung ovr her back?

hey david :)
well i've seen a few around my town that were damnnnnnnn hot... many pro musicians are blazing hot (coincidence? i think not)... but you're right, there seems to be a lot of nasties that play and relatively few hotties.
*shrug*

Yooooo, if you were a hottie, wouldn't you have something else to do instead of practicing scales and chords in your bedroom , alone???
Most awesome players out there have had an experience of being lonesome ("most likely to... kill everyone at a high school dance", as Kurt KOBAIN put it) and they put their time in the guitar, so I guess if you're an all-star football player, or if every guy on the block wants to take you out to the pictures, you don't have time to do that...

I think lal hit the nail on the head. We guitar players are a crazy bunch... if you're capable and willing to play guitar for hours a day, something's probably wrong elsewhere!

Don't remind me... I'm trying to work up some self esteem here.

Social life? bah!

Hey trust me I have more then my share of social problems.. some created by the guitar and some resulting in the guitar.

'dems da breaks I guess.

I want to know how Steve Vai had any sort of life at all with his supposed 10 a day practice routines. Didn't young Stevie go to school or anything?

he was 'doin lines ;) to stay up all night playin'

I believe he wanted to say we're all are limp hunchbacks that can't get girls. But then again.. everyone loves a guitar player. So.. maybe lal meant that people that love us are morons... I dunno... I get confused sometimes..

Now give me that LP Black Beauty I want.

I think we can get girls, but I say that we have developed our guitar playing because we couldn't do something else some time in our life...

If lonely drives us to playing the guitar,then evn htties,a lot of them,should be playing.
This is what I'm driveing at:does being hot make everyone want to get you,or does it alienate you,since everyone thinks "you're this hot,you got to be taken"
If you're reading this and you're a hottie,enlighten the boys here.Coz if you're reading this,then you def. play.

IMHO
Pro has two meanings,and I think people tend to confuse things:
When you do something for a living,it's said to be your profession,hence the word pro.Now,if you do something for a living,you tend to get good at it,which spawwns the second meaning of pro;someone who's good at what they do.Which brings me to my point,that just because you do something for a living doesn't necessarily mean you're good or gifted or whateca there.
These IMNSHO "pros"you're talking about,who are blazing hot.I hear they're are picked for their looks(hence the reason-you're right,it's no coincidence)they are generally hot,because they'll satisfy the image the rec companies want to sell.Rec companies mostly sell images,not music.Again IMNSHO,there's no difference between Vince Mcmahon and most rec execs.
"Pros"!Britney is hot,yes,but she sure as hell isn't pro as in the second definition of pro.And I'm not worried that Justin will see this post.These types of "pros"would never be caught in some place like this.
And b4 you tell me I'm full of mysellf,I'm not a pro,in both senses of the term pro.
NOT YET.

That's not what I'm takling about, I'm not saying guitar players aren't desirable. Quite the contrary, we're the coolest and girls love us. Most of us. Sometimes.

All I'm sayin is that to be able to dedicate so much to yourself to something that can't love or talk to you back means that you must be the type of person that enjoys spending a lot of time by his or her self. God knows I am. And there isn't anything wrong with that, only that your social life may suffer from it.

I'm speaking on my own personal experience here, I'm not calling you a social outcast or anything progg!

lol... yeah I guess he must have...

hot chicks like that have other things to occupy themselves with; nasties don't have a life anyway so they can just bang away on the guitar in the bedroom all alone forever.
on the topic of 'pro', i was refering in general to anyone who has made a living as a popular musician. they're not all blazing hot BUT some of them are and often that is NOT a coincidence. most people who aren't musically inclined couldn't give a $h|+ less whether Britney Spears or BSB or NSTINK know how to play an instrument. It's sad but true.

I think his exact words were:

"Girls were just a distraction to me. I didnt see the point in spending hours coming on to them when I could just whack it off in a minute and get back to my guitar"

So thats where all his picking stamina comes from. :)

Does anyone remember Lita Ford if you ask me she was hot.....

I must admit steve Vai is an ugly mother anyway... I think the photo that i saw was on Branslav's site and he looked like he could be cher's big brother (who'd got free bad plastic surgery copouns from her)....:)

This guy is either has the self-awareness of a buddhist monk, or he's just plain messed up. At what point do you Throw away life experiences for this instrument? Is it possible to be too in love with the guitar? It paid off for him... he has mastered the instrument and now tours the world and from what I hear is more then making up for never having girlfriends when he was a kid.
But what about those who aren't that lucky who waste the one life they have practicing scales?

I'm just thinking out loud here. As the pressures of life begin to conflict with the guitar for myself, I begin to ask myself how much of my life I want to devote to this.

What it comes down to is this: you only live once. That's it. You have maybe 80 years (if you're lucky) in which to experience the world- and the first ten and last ten are probably just a daze. So do you try and experience as rich a life as possible or utterly devote yourself to something? ... dunno.
