You know man i gotta say if youre sitting on bench playing the guitar you can't expect people not to notice you playing.<br>If it's annoying you so much why put yourself in that situation in the 1st place :wink: <br><br>Minus.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[arjen, give me a break.  i'm not an idiot.<br>what i'm saying is, you're around some people that really aren't talking much, just kinda sittin around chillin, and you pick up a guitar and noodle around a little.  suddenly, everyone's a college professor on a lecture circuit.<br>i've been playing forever.  i don't really give a poop about someone's opinion, but if you start talking so loud i can't hear my own hands, you're just being rude, and if you're doing it because you enjoy the music, then you're stupid, too.

It doesn't matter if they were silent. It doesn;t matter what they say, nor for what reason. It doesn't matter how loud they speak, or to whom, or how long. Unless you were specifically asked to play some music then noone owes you anything. If they'd really care they'd shut ut. And if they don't really care you should be so polite as to play guitar another time.<br><br>Personally I never even say I play music unless I'm asked. And if you play you play something others could participate in. Even it that means you won't be playing your favourite tune that nobody else cares about. It's a party, if you want to be the party musician your role is to entertain others, not yourself.]]></content:encoded>
