First Date. Terrible. Sigh.

Sounds like she was after a bit of Dick van Dyke

I play the oboe, a pink one.

Not always your own from what I've heard...

The way ALL men do?

Mary Poppins. What would you have done if he had sat down on the couch and said

'I dont have a guitar. I dont play the guitar. Now come here and get over my knee, I will give you a good hard spanking for going back to a mans flat on a first date.
There is no use struggling. now Drop em!! whack whack'


???I thought so.
Listen lads, forget the guitar lessons, just buy yourselves a paddle instead

I'm not the one who wields the paddle!

I have a friend who has taken up the acoustic guitar and he played it recently - I wasnt expecting Eric Clapton but all he did was strum the thing like a madman and this guitar is LOUD. At the same time he is singing very badly but thankfully his guitar drowned out most of his voice. He actually thinks he's very good.

Any other friend I would have had a quite word with them and told them nicely that they may need to improve slightly but in this case the guy has joined one of those happy clappy churches and everyone there tell him he's brilliant. Also as the music is so closely aligned with his new religion it makes it difficult for me to say anything.

So, while I was laughing at your post I was at the same time getting flashbacks to my friends session.

Did somthing like this a few years ago, my ex (that explains the outcome already!) took me back to hers for some "coffee" or so I thought, while we were there I spotted her guitar, picked it up and proceeded to sing and play quite a good rendition of "message in a bottle"

However I was very, very drunk and could not feel the strings properly, undaunted by this I continued to play as I was very confident in my ability. It wasn't till the next morning that I realised the guitar was your ordinary right handed acoustic jobbie, but I'm left handed! She wasn't best impressed as she had told her flatmates I was in a band etc.......

So it could've been worse!!

One of the most pleasurable things is watching a good musician play live and likewise seeing a bad one is at the other end of the spectrum.

This guy was left handed too.

And played a right handed guitar.

Behind his back sometimes.

I just knew you'd bring Hendrix into this...
