Ruphus -> If for chicks, you might have to think big deal of yourself in the first place (Feb. 10 2011 12:08:03)

I guess the least will be doubting on the eventuality that a good part of guitar playing males once started out with the instrument in order to impress girls.
Some in the aftermath developing into passionate musicians / music lovers, some not, despite possibly highly trained skills.
( And I think to recognize the latter by their mellowness; the little appreciation they have for harmony notwithstanding their elsewise high standards.)
Those on the other hand who started out without image goals / merely for the appreciation of music and / or the sonic beauty of the instrument, initially might come to performing before audience secondarily or even not at all. ( Remaining "closet players" as I like to call them. People who play just for their own joy.)
The second group ( who started out for musical reason ) when ending up on stage, not seldomly remain of humble ministry. All dedicated to the musical preformance and little occupied with their personal appearance on stage.
Like for exmaple, as it seems to me, PdL.
As he says, for most of his life he didn´t think of himself as being an all too outstanding guitarist. And maybe that humbleness reflects in his "chicography", which I assume to have been / be correspondingly humble in the same time ( in relation to what´s common with international stars ).
( I remember an affair with a girl who had rejected Paco´s woo after one of his concerts in the late eighties, on favour of our beginning interlude. >Pats himself on the shoulder< ;O)
And me speculates that Paco might have not been too fruitful with picking up groupies in general, despite of him being one of the best guitarists in the world. - Which I hope to be erring with, seeing what a sympathetic person he is!)
So, in sight of that kind of stage earning I ( interested to see what you think ) like to claim the follwing hypothesis:
Whoever approached musical performance for wallowing in female´s demand at best fancy outstanding artistry, celebrating himself; as it is before all aura of fancy on stage that attracts the elfes ( who might have lesser understanding of your musical skills, than a quite sharp perception of your self-presence ).
For which again it helps a lot to be a bit witless; in the sense of that witty individuals with their overview on discography and colleague´s artistic aquisitions tend to rank themselves accordingly humble / only every other time deeming big deal of their personal gig.
Therefore:
The pimply but shrewd teenager, thinking of grabbing himself that stratocaster for to become tomorrows Slash with all the chicks around, possibly better pursue attracting skills with more promissing investment-to-earning rates. - Like becoming ski or aerobic trainer for instance.
For being on stage mustn´t yield groupies, even if your are great with what you do musically.
