i guess i'm the black sheep of this group...
i've always thought people playing the guitar were often being a bit pretentious and i find it a turnoff (if anything either way) when girls do it. were i a girl i think i would feel doubly so about guys doing it. it just seems like it is such a trendy thing to play that particular instrument... i dislike it for the same reasons that i am annoyed by abercrombie&fitch, ipods, and john mayer.
i'm a decent piano player and am not into the whole counterculture thing... that is just my reaction.
