Oh sweet lord! He can hammer-on!



Sometime back, this friend of mine sent me this video by the College humor guys, who by the by make the funniest videos ever, in which this guy was explaining that how playing or teaching guitar can help you score girls. I saw, I laughed and then disagreed hotly and fed my friend all that crap about how we girls aren't that shallow and how it's the personality we actually go for yada yada. But the fact of matter is that the ugliest of men with a guitar in their hands, get more girls than any college jock with a six pack body can. Sure they can gym and gym and get all those rippling muscles. But a puny guy with a simple strum and a hammer-on can send every girl in the vicinity in a frenzy which no amount of steroid induced packs will. Not drummers, not keyboardists, it's just the guitarists.

Every girl has a type of man she prefers, tall/ short, skinny/ fat, dark/ fair etc. But there's a universal type of men which no girl can resist, the long haired, tattooed, guitar playing type. The type who sit in dark corners of the campus strumming away, seemingly uninterested in what the rest of the world's upto. The type who roam around unshaven, with uncombed and messy hair, in clothes which seem like they've been through a holocaust or two. The type who make you toes curl when they play and sing and still manage to look manly. The type who make you wish that you were the guitar their hands that they're so into. The type who speak though their music and wouldn't even look at you.

One would think that knowing how to play yourself would make you immune to all these things. But sadly, the world doesn't work that way. It's in our genes. The way chocolates and chick flicks makes us go weak, it's an inbuilt primal thing, like bees and honey or kids and poops jokes or superman and kryptonite. But then...who's complaining eh?

Below are the links for the videos. They'll crack you up.
