Biografía:
In high school Mike started a sketch comedy group called "The Sickies." He went to Georgetown University where he won "The Funniest Man on Campus" contest. This earned him the chance to perform at the D.C. Improv, where he worked in the ticket window, developed an act, and dreamed of becoming a nationally headlining comedian.
Then he went to New York City and went on The Late Show with David Letterman. This led to a string of television appearances that made him a comedian.

This is a hilarious song about the real truth why guys learn how to play the
guitar. And let's face it. We have all played the part as "the guitar guy at
the party" on more than one occasion. Mike Birbiglia claims that he's only
using three chords for this song, but after seeing his Comedy Central
half-hour special, I counted about five chords. If you want to see the
special that this tab is refering to it's:

And, as always, if you have any troubles with the tab, just listen to the
song or watch the video that I have given you and it should give you some
help on when he strums and lets the chords ring out. This tab may or may not
be exactly right do to the constantly moving camera, but this tab should give
a good outline of what you're trying to shoot for. And please rate and comment
this tab when you have made your final judgement.
