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.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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 made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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)
