>lifting weights: girls don't give a shit

>playing guitar: simply makes any pussy drip

Tell me /fit/, why are you wasting so much time lifting and worrying about the gym when you could be learning a musical instrument?

And think about this, if you combined both, you would slay like no other.

Fucking lol at gymcels. Quit wasting your time. Some skinny fag with a guitar will pull far more pussy than some autistic meathead.

I have played guitar for a decade and also lifted for over 3.
Muscles help more with women, but only if your face is attractive. if you're ugly muscles don't matter
if you learn an instrument with the motivation being to get women, you WILL quit. learning is too boring and repetitive
you need to be learning it for yourself, so you can know what it's like to truly feel music.
you don't know what music is until you play it yourself

ultimate-guitar.com for tabs and buy a cheap guitar

the lines represent the strings and the numbers represent the frets..0 is open where you dont fret any thing and fret 1 is the top fret and fret 24 is the bottom one closest to the picking hand

seven nations army main riff for example is...on the E string..the thickest one is 7 7 10 7 5 3 2

You can teach yourself. I dunno what sort of skill level you desire, but if you just wanna be some faggy basic open chord strummer, that'll take a couple months max.
Now the thing about guitar is that there's many styles to branch out and learn, BUT ONLY after you have learned music theory and have applied it to guitar.
Some styles are restricted to certain players simply because you need gigantic hands to reach certain chords and notes. Other styles such as slide require a real artistic niche because of its difficulty to play correctly.
In the end of the day, the choice is yours.
Just remember, you NEED to learn the music theory. Fuck all that noise about Guitar Smith and shit.
>>
>>37398593
Tabs are pretty useless without sheet music tho, with tabs alone you have no way of knowing details like the time signature of a piece of music or the value of each note

anybody who isn't a autistic can get a girl
it's just not going to be 10s all the time

believe me, I'm currently at fucking 25% bodyfat thanks to having busted my knee, I can't work out no longer, but literally 2 girls had the hots for me in my last class (granted one of them was a permavirgin gymrat who probably gets the hots for everybody who's nice to her, I still do not understand how she manages to not have a boyfriend with an ass like that), before you ask, they both look pretty nice if you ask me I'd give both a 6,5-7/10, and all of this AFTER I unfortunately had to stop working out

honestly, all of you must've seen a fucking super hot chick, who's going out with a guy who looks like he came out of a drugs during pregnancy experiment, do you know what the reason behind that could be? either she's using him (gold digger, some other kind personal gain) or she actually likes him

A friend of mine really does not look half as decent as the guy in the OP, and this guy has probably fucked more chicks than all of us ITT combined, that's because "it's a numbers game" isn't actually a fucking meme, if you write 10 girls, maybe 1 of them will harbor an interest for you

I will never understand women, nor I or you need to, just stop giving a fuck and get out there, lowering your standards might help as well

tl;dr:
stop being a autist, be alpha, lower your standards if you need to, gf will come by herself if you're around women and not autistic

just start playing! Learn songs you like (important to keep it interesting), mix with practicing scales and chords and always try to enjoy the process. Played for 10 years and have learned several instruments the same way

>>37398894
There is no cheat way to truly boost skill however as with many artistic pursuits normies can't judge very well how much skill different techniques require. Thus some good techniques that will impress plebs but are easy to learn:
two-finger tapping
one string pull-off & hammer-ons (e.g. AC/DC Thunderstruck)
Natural harmonics
Basic fingerpicking

Regardless of skill level appropriate dynamics, rhythm and accuracy are much more important than the number of notes you play in a set space of time. Better that you can really nail a basic/intermediate song than fumble a more advanced one.

Started guitar last week and learned A, D, E chords. Can play a few basic songs already (Hound dog)(three little birds) using those 3 cords, and the intro to paint it black!

I'm using http://www.justinguitar.com/ btw, really like the guy and his site.

It's really fun guys, when you play guitar I swear the feels just vanish. It really just absorbs you. If you like math and video games, i think you'd also like guitar. It also feels great to progress just like in lifting. I had this guitar for 2 years sitting in the attic, and now it's becoming my favorite hobby. I don't do it for girls, it's just genuinely fun.

And by the way, any of you experieced brahs know how long it takes for your fingers to stop hurting?

Please NOBODY listen to this guy. I've been playing for 10+ years and learned how to write notation, music theory etc. later when I was in high school and much like a lot of high school knowledge I've since forgotten it all.
It had no impact on me personally and if I had instead used those classes to do what I do at home which is focus on fretting well and not flubbing notes it would have been time spent better. It actually makes me angry to hear people advocate so much theory and say you need a teacher. It's akin to telling an obese person to do sit-ups to lose that stubborn belly fat fast! It's like a half truth where practice, practice, practice is really the invaluable part of the learnin process.
The truth is you NEED to learn chords A-F (obviously), how to bar chords and just start writing your own stuff immediately. Even if it blows it helps to keep doing it just to see how certain notes interact with certain chords.
The vast majority of people never play and the sands of time wipe them from existence so if you start at 20; it's like lifting. You're already ahead of 90% of people.
Guitar is a vehicle for the compulsion to ascribe a cave wall, to want to sculpt a masterpiece; externalize your feelings.
Read a couple quotes from The War of Art. The world requires your unique expression. Learn power chords. Learn bar chords. Never pay for someone to suck all the fun and impulsive aspects out of it. It's creativity not work.

Err yes.

You have to distinguish technicality with musicality.

A day not training your technical abilities on an instrument is a day wasted.

But whenever I have inspiration, I work on my musicallity (which you can't really train without sounding bland or boring)

Im under the impression that a great balance is needed to court a fine hunny. Sure you can fake someshit but most girls even tho stupid will see straight through your bullshit.

To be a great pussy technician youll need many years of training. First and formost youll need capital. Nothing makes vagina drool more then a fat stack of money. They like the peace of mind youll offer simply by having money.

Second youll need to be decent looking. This is the first thing the female will botice when you meet. Dont look to good tho, most girls are insecure and wont even take the time to travel outside their comfort zone to talk to god like men.

Third youll need a great A+ personality to close the deal. Chicks need a guy that can take them on a verbal voyage.

The last thing youll need is stupid little hobbies like guitar. These are just gelpful tools to get you into certain groups. Do you want the church going chick or the metal head vagina? The choice is yours abd you skills may or may not make or break you.

but does he even lift

Been playing for years now but it's rarely poppy sappy strummy songs. I play what I listen to: jazz, metal, classical, latin, folk. The most mainstream I get is radiohead (the weirder stuff mostly), modest mouse, and Gregory alan isakov. None of which is really "party campfire music". Most of what I play is on an electric which isn't as easily spontaneous and I've since never played on it around my room mates and gf.

I've take two Classical Guitar classes at my college and got A's in both. I literally obsessed for weeks over each sheet of music and it pays off big time. Music theory is important but you can get far with tablature. Its actually older than our sheet music. The main benefit to reading music is that you can translate melodies from different instruments.

A few things:
The first thing is, nobody really knows I play guitar. I post about guitar on social media but don't post anything of myself playing.

Another is that, 99% of dudes who take their guitar around with them to play are hella chodes who can't play anything other than chord strumming songs.

The opportunity to play in front of girls only comes once in awhile. Sometimes at a party or whatever and sometimes when I play with my friends metal band.

They wanna hear certain songs. I play certain panty dropping songs because I actually like them. They're mostly feels songs like Fake Plastic Trees, The Funeral, True Love Waits, etc. but its mostly sad songs. I mean that could get me laid but it doesn't mean I'm not autismo when it comes to making moves. Idk.

The past few times I've played in front girls was with my friends metal band and the only girls there were friends/other dudes gfs. And when I would jam with my friend and the girl HE'S trying to pull.

Most guitarist are chubby loser neckbeards.

If you are doing it for attention seeking, don't learn guitar if you are ugly or you can't sing

if you can sing, go for it

if you can't sing, learn saxophone or some hipster shit like that, get a ugly moustache that goes with your ugly looks and join a jam band

if you are doing it for fun (AKA I don't care about bitches I could learn guitar even if noone would ever listen what i'm playing in all my life), the guitar is really good because you play and carry it everywhere

they're almost exactly the same bro.

girls want a guy who is healthy, ripped, buff, but doesn't appear to have to try too hard. Somebody who is almost born that way. You lead a fun, interesting life, and your body is just always lean and strong.

Same with music. They do dig that you can play guitar (or any other instrument) but you have to just naturally 'get' music. You have to WRITE songs. You have to know WHEN to play your songs. Music has to pour out of you naturally, not that you're making a spectacle of yourself, but just adding something to the moment that you see fit for your talents. If for some reason a girl doesn't 'believe' you are an artist, even if you seriously think you are, you aren't.

For me, gitting gud at it and exploring songwriting took the fun out of shredding and technical stuff, it just seems like a pissing contest to me now, the amount of notes you can play in a minute mean nothing if they don't sound good

With tasteful melodies it just made air-guitaring more uncontrollable though

Not who you replied to, I've actually been playing for about a decade. Anyways, thanks for sharing those songs. First time hearing all of them, and I especially like the first to you listed.

In reply to who you replied to, and others ITT, in highschool I would 100% of the time play 'Beauty in the Breakdown' by The Scene Aesthetic whenever a girl came over, and 100% of the time we would have sex that very same day. I'd sing and play the guitar, though. I gained quite the reputation as a manwhore but eventually met a qt3.14 gf through similar means.

Yeah, good luck with that, pal. Chicks(some) will admire your guitar playing skills(if you're really good), but won't give you a dedicated pussy, like you seem to think, unless you start writing songs about them(sorry to burst your bubble).
