This is pretty cool, but it's funny how the article claims he taught her how to play in 2 months, when you can see she's in drop D (or some kind of open tuning) and literally simply downstrums on the 1 a few times going back and from from A to G or whatever key it's in. LOL.

Yeah, I can't help but think the Bride didn't really want to do that...maybe I'm wrong, it just seems like the groom has really taken the reigns on this wedding....which, maybe I'm too traditional, but seems like a bad idea to me. I mean... One of the best moments of my life was seeing my bride come through the double doors and walk down the aisle... This whole thing really put the focus on the groom, and his focus on the guitars.... not really ideal to me. :?

I totally agree. My thoughts when I saw this were these:

1. Same general thing you wrote above.

2. Makes me see how I'm not alone (obviously) in my love of guitars. I have fantasized about playing guitar--not making my wife play too--at my wedding, if I ever have one (would be my 2nd). But I am conscious of what you say...it would be like me showing off and it's just kind of cheesy. I would not do it.

3. But also along the same lines....I recently broke up with a woman I had dated for nearly 3 years, and part of the reason is that I started playing guitar during the relationship and am really really focused on learning guitar and she was too much of a time suck (as stupid as that sounds...grass is always greener and I wish I had her back).

4. So she could relate to what you say too. lol

5. What you say is especially true because he's not just someone who can play guitar; he's a guitar teacher. Kind of really a focus on *him* in sort of a dorky way. Also why did he need so many backup guitars but no bass?

6. Also the tone was terrible.

it's good that he smiled through the major 'boner' at 01:53, would have been a downer if he started saying "dammit, dammit, dammit!". :lol: Yep, lets hope she is as infatuated with guitar as he evidently is.

yep. I think there could be rooom for you playing guitar at your wedding, but it's not when the bride is making her entrance. all eyes are supposed to be on her. maybe they should've had a few of his students sitting off to the side playing the wedding march or something. and if anything I would've done classical guitars... not lousy sounding electrics.
my wife and I were going to have a friend of ours play his acoustic at our wedding, but unfortunately he passed away a few months before the wedding. we included a nice little memorial to him on the ...whatever you call it...program? the little piece of paper with everyones name on it....that thing. ha. it's too early.
