Everyone plays guitar now. If you want to be original, you have to play something else.
No. I can't play.

Flagpole,
Have you ever tried any alternate tunings? They can be a fun way to come up with new ideas.
I particularly like DADABE at the moment.

I appeared on an Australian talent show and obviously I play better than Flagpole.
https://youtu.be/TxgDb5IJQ9YIf this young man has some mental health issues, as it appears then why is he being publicly humiliated like this?
Is there no law to protect vulnerable people like him?
Unclear if he has mental health issues. Some people just have incorrect opinions of their talent or feel self-important for reasons that don't indicate mental illness.
Would I bet that he DOESN'T have mental illness? No. I won't declare it as a certainty though either.

That is the only correct answer so far.

1) I DO play guitar.
2) There is no verifiable way for you or anyone else on this message board to know if they play better than I do.
3) This, among other things, was an exercise to see if people would profess to be better or worse with no way of knowing. That has happened. Of course it did.
Let's use a running analogy to examine your conclusion. If you ask whether I am capable of running a faster 5k than you, and I run 13:00 at that distance, then I can, in all probability, conclude that I am faster than you. Even though I have no idea how fast you are, I will be correct almost 100% of the time.
1) A 13:00 5k not only is a hard OBJECTIVE fact, but it is SO fast that you would know for a fact that I am slower than that I'm an American, and we know off the top of our heads by name all the Americans who have done so.
2) How well you play guitar is much more subjective, especially once you get beyond a certain level of skill.
3) As no one here knows how well I play, it is impossible for anyone to say that they either can or can not play better than I can (unless they don't play at all as someone mentioned) with any degree of certainty. NOW, since I posted my original question, I HAVE stated that I am NOT a virtuoso, so, if someone believes they are one, they could surmise that they are better than I am, BUT, we still have potential issues...their own idea about their playing could be incorrect, or I could be being too hard on myself as a guitar player.
The most narcissistic thread started by letsruns resident narcissist.
Staring into a reflecting pool you ask if anyone plays guitar better than you without offering any examples of your own prowess.

Flagpole, do you have a favorite style, a favorite guitarist? One you try to emulate?

It requires a sense of humour to grasp that the thread is an absurdity.

I can debate you in politics and beat you in guitar with my eyes closed and mouth taped shut. You’re an insecure old fart, looking for meaning.

Nope. A test of the rest of you...no matter how well I play or don't play, no one here knows if they can or not...unless they don't play at all.

Anyone can debate me in politics. None will win.
You MIGHT be able to beat me playing guitar, but you don't have enough information to know, but the eyes close and mouth taped shut is a weird comment. I don't need to look to play guitar, and I didn't say anything about singing, so it matters not if your mouth is taped shut.

CORRECT! Malmo isn't a man of humor.

I'm just a rock and blues guy, so endless players from those genres.

Wow, you’re a genius armstrongliv, aka nut job.
You and flagpole ARE the 2 most narcissistic posters on these boards. That is an award that no one can take away from either of you!;)
Congrats!:)

Not true, and no evidence to support that at all.

I'm learning (and very slow) and I enjoy fingerpicking. Anyone, any song I should try to learn? I'm always looking for ideas.
