my roomate won't stop playing it. Trying to write like 10 songs a day off of root chords strumming away. I mean, I know you have to start somewhere, but it really breaks the concentration. Christ I need a powerbook.

Roomates can move. He (or she) prolly has a job as well which keeps em out of the house.
I have a 14 year old that just started playing guitar AND he's out of school.
Friggin' "Smoke on the Water" is gonna cause my death soon!

oh dude. no school, no job. home as much as I am. But I'm trying to work. She's gone for 4 days now though. no sooooo bad.

Take the guitar and smash it. Like in those Juicy Fruit commercials.

Is this an acousticor electric guitar?
- JackDB0
Ask him if he knows how to play "Far Away"
- brains0
it's a her, an acoustic. and I'm pretty sure I hear "the weight" by the band alllllllllll the time.
- TheTick0
well point her to http:www.olga.net so she can get some new tunes to play...
you can always cut the strings...
- scarabin0
so say something to her, dork
- TheTick0
yeah. Don't pull any punches:
"Man, your playing sucks. What the hell was that? A C Chord? A G? I bet you don't even know!! Play me a blues progression! Now!! Go ahead!! No crying...Why are your fingers fumbling around like that? OK, now add the minor 7th to that G chord...Minor 7th you hack!! That's a major 6th!!! You are hopeless!! Come on you maggot show me you understand your fretboard...on three I want to hear the opening riff of "SMoke on the Water"..for godsakes tell me you can do that at least..no? NO?! Stairway to Heaven even...my god you are worst then an thirteen year old in a guitar store...put the guitar down and walk away..."
That should work..
- scarabin0
or even something polite, like "do that shit in your room, my ears are bleeding"
- TheTick0
no,no..do mine...it's funnier...

there will be no smashing of perfectly good guitars.
Went through the same ordeal. I got even by getting a bass guitar and droning the crap out of them for a change.
What worked wonders - if you decide not to be supportive (read, if she has zero talent, you r not gonna have a future rockstar friend anyways) - go something like "dude, you still haven't gotten this one down huh? It's been what now... a month of attempting to play? Good luck with this"That and yanking up ur speakers, blasting techno
muhahahah!
- TheTick0
You know what - even better - you should take up a MORE annoying musical instrument and insist on accompanying her.
Harmonica, Triangle, Tambourine and Recorder are all on the list. Bonus points if you bring home a set of steel drums.
- Jaline0
I wanna know if she can play 'Far Away' too.
- Jaline0
ACCORDION or BAGPIPES all the way!
- TheTick0
Can she play "By The Window" and you can help her out..
Ba dum dum
- ArtDirector0
haven't read any of the posts, but walk into his room and punch him in the face.
- ArtDirector0
do it for me
- ArtDirector0
Oh shit, nevermind

buy a lil' drum kit, compose song with her and form a band, send the demo to major CD companies, become popular, make a world tour, become rich, die.
I think this the best idea so far.
