How Not to Play the Banjo (Or, in this Case, the Guitar Dressed Up to Look Like a Banjo), kindly demonstrated by Taylor Swift.

That shit ain’t meant to be strummed, man, unless you’re going for the whole running-a-rusty-knife-indescriminately-through-the-inside-of-a-piano sound. You and I both know that would’ve sounded better on an actual guitar, Taylor Swift, instead of that hideous six stringed hybrid abomination. It is PURELY COSMETIC, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Y’all have Ash to thank for bringing this to my attention on a calm Sunday evening in which I had no intention of watching or having anything to do with the Grammys.

1. It’s called a banjitar. Lots of places sell them. I even want one. 2. Plenty of people who play banjo strum it. Scott Avett for example. He’s and extremely talented banjo player, but when he’s singing, it’s easier to strum and sing at the same time. 3. Maybe she thought playing something else would help people take her more seriously as a musician? 4. Maybe she just kicked the way it sounded? 5. What part of playing an instrument averagely is grounds for her needing to feel ashamed of her self? I am not even a Taylor Swift fan, but I get upset when people say things like this. It’s just making up reasons to dislike someone in my opinion.
