When you find picks literally everywhere. I have found about 7 in my bed (various places, under matress, between sheets and matress, in pillowcase, et cetera).
When your bagless vaccum has at least 2 picks in it when its full.

and when some one says, "Can you show me how you play those chords".....that's when you know you're a rhythm guitarist.......

Someone asks if you play guitar and you answer "yes."
(Instead of "not really" or "I just started" or something along those lines.)
Blame it on the lies that killed us, blame it on the truth that ran us down.
Someone asks if you play guitar and you answer them without words (by stunning them with your amazing playing)
Guess i aint a guitarist :P.

When the calluses on your fingertips develop calluses of their own. (At least that's what it looks like now that I've gone back to two to three hours a day)

When you are on vacation at the beach in Bethany Delaware and you've already sat out on the porch playing guitar and now you are on guitarnoise answering this post.
When you tip the bartender in picks......... :twisted:
I gave her my Earnie Ball picks because I like my fender picks
