Oh yeah, the response he made that it was about a guitar, that cracked me up. I bet he gets sick of answering the same questions over and over. He probably just had a moment. I thought it was hilarious. “Red Guitar? what’s that about?” “It’s about a guitar [you dumb bitch].”

I imagine writing a song is like painting or writing – you start off with an idea and it takes on a life of its own. He told Slezak it’s a metaphor and it will mean different things to different people. He’s an artist and he’s creating something. It doesn’t have to be literal. The bottom line, it seems to me, is that he loves his wife even if she doesn’t play the damn thing.

Yep, red guitar = peen

Either a $50 guitar wasn’t good enough for her

His peen was just there as ‘decoration’ — “hanging” out there in the open, collecting dust, only play it got was when he played it himself.

Poor guy.

yeah, definitely some mixed messages and metaphors in there. it’s actually one of my favorite songs on the album (the instrumentation is awesome!), but the lyrics are a little…confusing haha…especially if you pair it with his interviews.

cuz it kind of switches back and forth between talking about the actual guitar and then about katy playing it. but then in interviews, he says katy never plays it. i’m giving him the benefit of the doubt that when he says ‘never’ he really means like ‘once a year’ or something. there is a lyric in the song that refers to that.

well dont forget that whatever the guitar is “its been through hell” and that “she doesn’t have a clue”

except for the fact that kris has said she never played it and it got hung on a wall! so it’s like his fantasy of the “sweet tunes” that would come out IF she ever played it? Something’s not adding up LOL!

Actually it’s a love song about the sweet tunes that gets out of the red guitar when she plays..nothing about how the red guitar was scorned and hanged on the wall..which I though it will be all about..it looks like he really loves her!!

Wait, let’s see if I understand, is the guitar a metafor for his wife or is it the way the girl in the song plays the guitar? Very confusing.
