Mine just happened today . . .
I was sitting around doodling and decided to knock out some Wes Montgommery licks. My wife wandered by the door and without looking in said "turn that up, I love that CD!"
:P

I had a good one today. Got a phone call to sit in with a really popular local band because their guitarist is sick and they have gigs both Fri. and Sat.
Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.

....when you relaize that you have bought enough guitar strings in your life that they could wrap around the world not once, but thrice

...you have made up a lame excuse to not hang out with your friends just so you could stay home and play your guitar. It is so sad and kind of dorky, hope I am not alone on this one.
... the only action your concerned with is the height of your strings.
No i am also the one in your category :wink:
When you're jamming with your buddy and you two decide to swap guitars,and his wife says: "You two look like you're holding each other's girlfriends."
Even worse you pay attention and realize that you do.
:shock:
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- "WOW--What a Ride!"

Haha! You should have been in my house last night then--I ended up with a bass guitar, Mike had mine, and the bass player had his....and I think the girlfriends were getting jealous.
Our songs also have the standard pop format: Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, bad solo. All in all, I think we sound like The Knack and the Bay City Rollers being molested by Black Flag and Black Sabbath.

Happened the other day. My neighbor confessed that she sits outside my door on the steps and listens to me play sometimes. :D

The following all applys to wal-mart "Gibson" guitars:
When you spend a hour of your time just standing there, shaking your head in disbelief.
When you open up the box to "test it out," and almost get thrown out in the process.
When you take one of these along with you to go pick up a "loaf of bread."
When you open up the box to "test it out," and actually list EVERYTHING that it needs: new tuners, new pick ups, new wiring, a new neck, a new body, a new nut, a new paint job, new hardware, frets, a bridge, a tail piece, an output jack, better shielding, a pick gaurd, strings, pots, strap holders, switches, screws, etc.
When you make a 10 year old cry because you start laughing when his mom says she'll put it away on layaway. :twisted:
When you coordinate a "Les Paul" burning party out in the parking lot. (we need to get together and schedule this! DISCLAIMER: JOKE!)
When your family stops laughing, like they used to, when you would come upstairs from "practicing." :oops:
When they ask if you'll play something for the holidays. :D
When you take your band to the next level during a hot gig night. 8)
When you're on break and the hottest chicks in the place come up to you and so does your wife. :shock: :shock:
When you can sit back and tell your grandkids all the above. :wink:
And especially when we play for you great people and you like it.
Best Wishes to everyone here!

When youv'e just learnt a new lick and got it spot on. You keep getting out of bed to pick up the guitar to make sure it wasn't a fluke.
Be excellent to each other & party on dudes!

soju04, welcome to GN.
This is off topic but the neighbor comment reminded me of a short story I have been wanting to tell.
My neighbor plays drums and I hear him all the time. Problem is I don't get along with him (actually nobody does) which started with him putting his driveway 11 feet onto my property and never removing it so I did with an Axe and sledge hammer (actually I put a fence through it on my property and made it useless).
Anyway, last week a limb off of one of my trees fell in his back yard and he came over to ask me what I was going to do about it. After we discussed the fact that I wasn't doing anything about this here act of nature we moved on to other things. So anyway, I finally got to make a comment to him that I have been wanting to say for a long time. I said to him that it is too bad he is such and A-Hole because we both have an interest in music. I play guitar and you are learning to play drums.
His response was: He has been playing for 20 years.
My response was: Sorry, it just sounds like you are learning. I turned and walked away.
plus you're both jackasses, so you have that in common, too.
