What to say when she mentions teaching herself guitar
Learn how to reply meaningfully when she says she's been self-teaching guitar. Move past generic compliments to stand out.
When she tells you she's been teaching herself guitar, she's sharing something she's actively doing and invested in. This isn't a passive hobby or a throwaway detail. It signals time commitment, self-directed learning, and probably some frustration mixed with pride about the progress she's made so far.
A good reply does two things: it shows you actually heard what she said (not just "cool"), and it opens a door to real conversation. Most guys either ignore the detail entirely or throw out a generic "that's awesome." Both fail because they don't give her anything to build on.
The move is to pick a specific angle that invites her to talk. Ask about something concrete. Reference something real about guitar that shows you're not just being polite. Get her talking about the actual experience, not the idea of it.

She's telling you about real work, not a phase
Teaching yourself guitar means she's spending real time on something with no external pressure. She's not taking lessons, which tells you she's either resourceful or stubborn or both. She's doing it this year specifically, which means it's recent enough to still be a focus.
What this signals: she has follow-through on things she decides to do. She tolerates frustration. She probably has opinions about why she chose this path instead of taking lessons. The detail matters because she chose to tell you about it. She's not just listing hobbies. She's describing something she's actually doing right now.
Ask about the specific friction, not the outcome
The best replies land on something that makes her want to respond because you're asking about the real part. Most guitar learners hit walls around technique, motivation, learning method, or whether they actually like the sound they're making yet. Pick one and ask directly.
Don't ask 'what kind of music do you play' yet. That's third conversation. Ask what made her start, or what's harder than she thought, or what she's actually learning from (YouTube, apps, tabs). These questions assume she knows what she's doing and that the experience matters. They give her something real to say back.
Send early, expect a real answer back
Reply the same day if you can. She mentioned guitar because she wanted to talk about it. Speed shows you read her message and it landed. Wait three days and your reply looks like an afterthought.
If she replies with more detail, keep that thread alive. Don't jump topics. If she gives you a short answer, she might be tired or not feeling the conversation yet. One follow-up question is fine. After that, if she's giving one-liners, she's not hooked. Move on or wait for her to bring something up later. Don't push a topic when she's not playing along.
Why these replies fail
“oh thats sick! I play guitar too”
It hijacks the conversation to you instead of keeping focus on her experience, and 'sick' reads young.
“guitar is so hard when you're learning lol, good luck with that”
It assumes she needs luck and patronizes her struggle instead of asking what she's actually dealing with.
“what songs are you learning?”
It jumps to the output without checking if she's actually enjoying the process or hitting walls.
Common mistakes
- Responding with only 'that's awesome' or 'cool' and nothing else to continue on
- Pivoting immediately to yourself instead of asking about her experience
- Asking vague questions like 'how's that going' that give nothing to grab
- Making a joke about bad beginner guitar playing or struggling
- Asking what kind of music she plays before asking if she's actually enjoying it
Questions people ask
- Should I pretend to know about guitar if I don't?
- No. Don't fake knowledge. Instead ask what made her choose guitar specifically, or what she finds harder than expected. Those questions work whether you play or not. She'll respect the honest curiosity more than a false connection.
- Is it weird to ask why she didn't take lessons?
- Not weird at all. It's actually a good question because it tells you something about how she approaches learning. She chose the harder path for a reason. That's worth knowing and worth asking about directly.
- What if she gives a one-word answer?
- Try one real follow-up question. If she's still giving nothing back, she's not engaged in the conversation yet. Let it sit. Don't keep pushing. Come back to it later if she brings it up again.
- Should I offer to teach her or play for her?
- Only after you've actually talked about her experience. Offering help before you know where she's at reads like you're assuming she needs saving. Wait until you know what she's struggling with, if anything.
