How to look like you're good at guitar

[TheEconomy]

How to look like you're good at guitar: Play simple chords, but make them look them like blistering riffs. Adjust your tone/volume knobs as much as possible, this makes it look like you know what you're doing. Buy a really over-hyped guitar like a gibson les paul, people will be so
focused on your guitar they wont care how you play. Play those simple chords in a public place, you'll attract people who don't know anything about music and they will think you're a musical genius. Pretend to like music that's either under-rated/indie/local/not popular, people will think you're cool because being the "alternative" has been cool since the forever. Join a band with an inside joke or sexual innuendo in the band name, this will attract idiots, idiots with money.

Feel free to add some more tips on how to be like every other guitar player you know.

I should probably mention that I don't hate Les Pauls, people do over-hype them a lot though.

When playing anywhere in Britain, refer to it as England. Also, everywhere in Scotland is Edinburgh, no exceptions.

Even though he may be the best musician in the band he isn't given the respect he deserves. I play bass too.

Horribly detune your guitar and play one note every thirty seconds. Claim they just don't understand your artistic soul.
