There's a homeless busker near where I work I see with his lil Venmo sign up and I'm always telling him, you play Dust in the Wind for me and I will tip you. I know he has a smart phone, he can learn, but he hasnt yet. AITA?

NTA

I'm not even homeless but if someone offers to pay me to play something like Dust in the Wind or whatever else I can kind of learn in about 7 minutes, I'll play.

It's DUST in the WIND...such a classic, a true masterpiece. One might ask if one has a guitars why DON'T they know that song first

Right?

Stairway to Heaven comes first though. But Dust in the Wind is easy enough that most guitarists will be able to pick it up quickly.

Dust in the Wind hits so differently to me. Plus I've offered to show him how to play since it's the only song I know but he refuses

I never paid too much attention to the song but I had a closer look/listen just now. The chords are basic as fuck and the finger picking only really requires speed.

Is he a good guitarist? Because I can imagine an experienced player looking at a tab and not wanting to play it since it's too simple. Otherwise homeless buddy has no excuse.

It's a good song, but not very interesting to play lol

It's literally the only song I can play on a guitar 🤣 even without speed. Also it can be basic all it wants to i love that song.
