Elvis did this alot in his movies, but he is by no means the only one.
(you can tell the guitar isn't plugged in or miked because when they stop playing, the music doesn't change at all.)

Yeah, I hate that. If they cant play, dont bother faking it. Whats worse is when they smash up the guitar they dont know how to play. I had to work my A** off to buy my first guitar.

Only Elvis could get away with it.
You've probably found out that egos are a huge part of the entertainment industry. There are even a few musicians that will roam around from instrument to instrument, depending on which one is the lead / solo. Bottom line is, we can choose who we listen to and who we want to be, and play, like.

It's all part of being a good showman. Making music for an audience is more than just hitting the right notes. Above all, have fun!

But, in the defense of Elvis he had A LOT more talent than some artists out today combined....

Yeah I hate when they do that. For example, Ashlee Simpson and Avril Lavign do that alot. Get a guitar and learn how to actually play it!

Yes, I agree with you. I hate a fake. We've had to much of that in the past, and too much of it now.
