New research reveals that guitar skills in extreme metal music are more linked to male competition and status than to attracting mates. The study, focusing on heterosexual male guitarists, suggests that technical proficiency in guitar playing serves more as a display of dominance among peers.
Yeah people who don’t play guitar can’t even tell whether something you played is even difficult or not. Just noodling around high on the neck and touching the whammy bar can convince any normie I’m good at the instrument (I’m not)
I force my gf to watch me play every single riff I learn and the reaction is always a polite “that’s very nice Rab good job” all while barely holding her attention, even when it’s 10/10 difficult and I just spent 10 hours learning 10 seconds of a solo
Why do you keep forcing your girlfriend to watch you play guitar, Rab?
