I'll try: it depends on the environment. With some people, grabbing a guitar and singing is an interactive time. With others, it's playing a game together. Sometimes they like only one side of that.
It's not about feeling bad or jealous. It's that playing a guitar in a room full of uninterested gamers would be as awkward as playing guitar hero in a party where nobody enjoys casual games.
Why waste time with guitar when you can learn accordion like me? :-)
Unless you go pro, these are all leisure activities. Some are older than others and some get more traditional respect, but why is that important? I choose to learn an instrument, but I don't see an inherent reason why learning an instrument is better or worse than video games.
I play guitar and I'm similarly not a fan (most of the time). Someone drunkenly fumbling through wonderwall or whatever in an attempt to impress is not interesting.
Is it because he makes you feel bad that you wasted your time playing video games instead of learning the real guitar?
