For a while now, something like a year, I have been interested in the guitar and have become what other people consider to be pretty good at it. I didn't pick up playing the guitar to meet girls or anything, I just have fun with it. I know this question has been asked before, and meeting girls with a guitar has been labled as a "*****" way to meet girls but I was just wondering how I could use it at school to meet girls. I have played in the lunch room and expected maybe a few people to come up and talk to me about it, but few really did. Do I just sit alone and play with it away from my friends so people (namely girls) will come up and talk to me? I just have the skill and have never been very motivated about going and talking to girls and I figure it could be a good way to meet girls. Sorry for the essay, but I just want a little advice.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

just play anywhere at school... make sure you are friendly looking enough tho.. not a gothic kid with an acoustic guitar.
don't walk around with it like you're the sh!t tho... just get a strap and wear it on your back like... a ... samurai sword...
and if people talk to you.. just say you're bring it to school because some people were going to practice with you... or you were going to help a few people learn.

You know, I'd like to know this too, I'm pretty good at bass guitar, and I'm in jazz band.
Hey mate,Eiljwa said:
I have also been playing for a little over a year, and I have a solution for you.
How good are you? Can you make up cheesy chords and lyrics as you go along? I suggest singing EXTREMELY LOUDLY about someone walking past. Just play with it have fun. It shows you have balls and you are a fun, playful guy.
But, alternate.
People are around everywhere, some will be constant, they will keep listening.
Alternate between cheesy half assed songs with nice riffs, or a song that everyone knows.
The point is it not seem tryhardish, so you have to have the balls to fvck around with it and do whatever, even if it sounds ****. Women don't like try-hards.
Hope this helps.

I think that as long as its somewhat a part ofyou and what you do its all good, just play somewhere, girls dig that, my friend had this guitar at school and he satrted playing and there wa sgroup of us there and we started singing really loud, and then some chicks came over and started singng too, pretty hippish actually 
my point is that its a good attention grabber and chicks dig it

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

play some malmsteen and be like "hey babeh, wanna touch my whammy bar?" in your best beavis and butthead voice.
join a band.
Have a reputation for being able to play ANYTHING, and i mean anything.
and just noodle and play some crazy marty friedman leads alot.
also, knowing songs like "wonderwall" and "Nothing else matters" will get you laid if you're alone with a girl. Bonus points if you can sing.

Guitar playing doesnt really get girls, it's singing that seals the deal. Play lunchtime shows at your school (dont know if your school does it, it's always fun when my band plays) and do some popular but not ****ty band covers (Incubus and RHCP = a lethal, lethal combo. Panties will liter the floor).

Singing is more of a "turn on" than just playing the guitar.
But, sitting around in the lunch room playing just annoys people. Your best bet, is to do a talent show, or a band or something where you can actually showcase your talent.

Thanks for the reply's guys it's good to know some of these things. People sometimes do lunchtime shows at my school and they are always screamo bands that can't even play. Hey and RHCP and Incubus are some of my favorite bands. (RHCP is my favorite band. I'm actually wearing the Stadium Arcadium tour shirt as I'm typing this)
