Depends on the song, I guess.
I know that antisocial nerds who go to one party every three years or so and probably stand in the corner casting creepy glances at girls across the room might be opposed to a decent guitar jam. Cool people can dig it. End of story.

"well, if no-one's gonna talk to me, i think i'll just sit here and strum a little Chôro No. 1 muttering 'please let me get some pussy tonight' from under my patchy ginger beard"
Even worse is when some Randy Rhodes cosplayer brings his electric guitar and amp. I'd rather play Wii music at that point.
The survey hasn't even defined the parameters of guitar playing at parties.
Like, are we talking about all parties? So a party at a huge house with a big backyard to accommodate a full multi-instrument jam session is exactly the same as a tiny little apartment? How long does the playing go on? Does the player interrupt everyone to introduce the song? Is the guitar being played in the middle of the room, or in a corner somewhere? What kind of party is it? Who is playing, a resident/guest of honor, or some random dude who came along as a friend of a friend of a friend? Was the guitar already there at the house, or did someone bring it?
Without these details, this study isn't anything more than a Gallup poll with a really flawed demographic sampling.
One thing, if you're talented enough to play flamenco guitar and not dad rock you get a pass. Also you're going to get laid more than you could ever imagine.
And also note it's ALWAYS some smug hipster (complete with one size to small walmart flannel) who thinks his run down of Death Cab for Cutie is exactly what this party needs to get the ladies going.
lol STS9 and SCI. thank fucking god none of the second rate jambands became as big as Phish or the Dead. It was always obvious that they were all fakes without an original bone in their body.Oh god String Cheese Incident. And Leftover Salmon. :-\

I'm easily the most experienced guitar player here so please understand, it's never ok to play at a party. No exceptions. No parameters. No nothing.
If you're bad or mediocre you shouldn't be inflicting your playing on anyone, if you're good you should have enough self respect to only play in venues where people can pay you attention. No exceptions.
What does this matter?
I really wish you'd cut the "I'm the only real musician here" ego trip. No one cares that you were some classical prodigy as a teenager. You're like the titular character from the song Glory Days at some point.

And while a guitar is really douchy, NOTHING reaches this in terms of Douche Lording:

An acoustic guitar thread does Glen Shinobi in?
What about the neckbeard clique who're in a room by themselves, whipping out tornado of souls and angel of death, using amps supplied by the host?

Mellow Mushroom opened up a spot in Portland a while back. It didn't last long.
One of those chains that you feel like has the best intentions at heart but when you eat it, is it really better than even...domino's?

Done with this forum.
Edit: for a day or so. Maybe for a few hours.
i play my clarinet at parties, people love it. they are like OMG yes.

small % of the people who took it up in 4th grade ever got good at it tho.
you do exclusively frequent Woodwind Meet-ups though

I would take the clarinet and shove it up your ass if I wasn't afraid you'd consider that foreplay....

i'm not totally clear on the mechanics of how that would work in practice, but the success of the "prospective foreplay defense" is noted. this is shaping up to become another great strategic gambit on par with Kissinger/Nixon's "madman theory".
This thread is hilariously white.
I like that even less than 7% of us would even tolerate it from Mupepe.
Go sit on the pointy end of a running jackhammer.Just for context. AWESOM-O once tried to play Led Zepplin at a party on the speakers instead of the hits you should play at parties, this is the man you're arguing with.
You as well. Though maybe the handle end so the vibrations can shake some of the encrusted shit out of your pants, hand-wiper.

Truthfact. A guitar is the only thing a thief from the hood won't steal, ain't nobody gonna buy that shit.
Better?

Yesterday when this thread was still kind of funny, I kind of got over it. After the mean-spirited horseshit posted today, I think I really am done here. I don't see a scenario in which I remain a part of this community. Have fun nodding your head to pop-rap hits you've heard a thousand times.
Fuck you all.

Could you please tell use what you do, so we can do what you do to and be cool like you?
I assume your acrostic guitar playing equivalent will be rapping?
Cmon man, if you want to play guitar at parties just come to hippy haven Portland and join one of the jug bands
Firefox switches words on me and then removes the red squiggles, so I can't be blamed for that.

Acrostic: a poem, word puzzle, or other composition in which certain letters in each line form a word or words. :whoo

In elementary school we had to write ones for Mother's Day as make-work and not only did I use mother instead of mom, but I used halcyon for the H. :snoop
My teacher took one look at it and said something like, "you WOULD use that word, wouldn't you Karakand?" :dead
This is 100% correct. Actually, not Montana. Papoose or some other shitty rapper with zero flow.This thread is hilariously white.

Nah, it would be not wearing headphones while playing French Montana on a train/bus.
I really can't answer this because I'm that asshole that brings his DJ equipment to house parties and plays a bunch of deep/tech/disco house that nobody has any clue about for long-ass Danny-Tenaglia-set-length periods of time. And then a while later when I'm drunk and/or high my friend takes over and plays NES and Genesis chiptunes for a while.
One time some black chick flashed her boobs and 2 girls made out while I was playing. That was interesting.

Usually when you're djing though, the hosts have asked you to, right? Also, setting up a rig to dj with is a time consuming process; I'm sure you could be stopped by the hosts if they didn't want you to. Douchecoustic jam sessions happen way quicker and with no warning.

hey guys do you think there's a correlation between dudes who play guitar at parties and dudes who date rape? I'd bet that it's likely
It kinda sucks liking the guitar a lot as an instrument and it being a popular instrument.
It's like when this one time you actually like a product by Apple you have to be careful not to be associated with apple tards. :fbm
