Does the shortscale fandom go too far with the Kurt Cobain worship?

Yes, it's similar to Dimebag Darell worship

Totes started playing sos I could get my dick wet.

Realised shortly thereafter that most of the chicks that are impressed enough to jump on a cock because the hands attached to the body can play Green Day chord progressions are pretty wonky.

I mean, I'm not particularly impressed by Green Day either. I'd have to be several shades stupider to want to furiously pump a girl for being able to play a two chords, one after the other.

So, being a shortscaler is more a mental condition than a physical :)
Well, if you look around a little longer, you'll see that there's definitely some sort of mental condition involved with being a Shortscaler :P

OK, for some people it was Nirvana... for others it was Guns 'N Roses... but for everyone, it was banging chicks.

Then again, I can't imagine that many chick guitar players got into it so they could bang chicks. No wait. I can indeed imagine that.

In fact, I don't think any of my guitar playing friends started because of Nirvana.
Fucking 1%-ers haha :wink: Eh. What's it matter? Just play guitar and everyone shut up. This thread is stupid.
thread's not stupid, it's remained fairly civil.
