Any musicians have any suggestions to do this? I'm currently in college and I don't get the chance to get out to many night parties (nor do I really want to). I love playing my guitar and singing, and until recently I kept it to myself mostly. Up until a year or so ago I was a little shaky about playing in public, but now I play just as good in front of people as I do on my own. I'm very confident in that respect.

People always tell me that I should use this to my advantage to meet girls around campus. Understand that I don't mean to woo or impress anyone. The way I see it, playing guitar out in public will automatically show my interest and passion in music and also attract girls with similar interests. It's a way to put myself out there without even having to say a word.

I've played out in public a few nights, and I got some people coming over and hanging out with me. I'm not sure if this is a way to attract girl though, because it seems like girls aren't that interested in live music.

Well, I'm in a similar situation potentially in that I'm in a band that hope to go gigging by Feb or so. I'm currently the singer and the implications in receiving attention are what I'm weighing up at the moment.
I think you should carry on playing live; you enjoy it anyway and there are girls that exist that like live music. People tend to get hung up on singers anyway (e.g to be a good guitarist/drummer is way harder than to be a good singer IMO), plus performing live takes a fair bit of bravery and chicks generally dig that. And drop it into conversation every now and then that you perform.

That's one thing I love about playing out - it helps kill social anxiety.

Right now it's just my voice and an acoustic guitar but by January this guy I play with is coming back and we're going to try to form a band. I'll be playing slap bass and doing some singing for that along with this guy. While it's not my favorite kind of music, we're going for that funky old RHCP sound that's really wild and great for parties. The stuff I do on my own is a little bit deeper and more controlled, but I like doing both.

its just something to bring up when you are in conversation. A good way to go is when asked what you do say musician she will ask what instruments tell her then say its what you have always wanted to do ask her what her ambitions in life are. It also throws up a good amount of opportunities to neg if they were in the choir or their parents forced them to play something geeky. Then you can play on these things eg
HB: I used to play recorder in school
PUA:hahha, no really I'm sure you could pull off the recorder hehehe very few can

All in all it's just an easy way to get the conversation on to something you know a lot about which also DHV's. Also watch their eyes when you tell them you a re a musician lol

I wouldn't as much go out an play in public as I would use a guitar at a party or something. To simply sit on campus playing guitar will likely make you look like a busker, but to shred out some solos at a party will display your passion for music without even having to talk.

If you are playing gigs it is quite easy to pickup women afterwards, I was in a sleazy punk metal band and managed to get some action after every show we played ..... those were the days lol

There's no other place to play here besides just going out in public, though. None of the bars or coffee shops have live music since this big corporation came into town and put and end to the music scene, and nobody is going to let me play at a party while just on my own. People don't want that stuff...they want dance music.

Do a gig in public then, that shit would be awesome. Plus, you'll max your social proof if the gig is successful, thus making things a hell of a lot easier.
