OK, so Nick Jonas can actually play guitar?
Nick Jonas can play the guitar, and he’s got the terrifying live guitar solo all over the internet to prove it. In 2016, when Nick was still a young bachelor, he was positively toasted for his terrible guitar solo during a live performance with Kelsea Ballerini at the Academy of Country Music Awards.
Ironically, Nick’s botched solo (which he tweeted attributed to a brain fart) proves he plays guitar. But to be fair to Nick, he never guaranteed that he’d always play it in the right mood.
In addition to singing and songwriting and being an imperfect guitarist, Nick also plays bass, piano, keyboards and drums.
However, a recent video of Nick seemingly pretending to play the guitar sent the internet into a frenzy.

Will Nick ever respond to the #NickCantPlayGuitar conspiracy theory?
Guitar playing skills aside (or lack thereof), Nick seems to have a pretty good sense of humor when the internet toasts him about things. And even better? Now he has the chance to show off his guitar skills on Broadway.
That’s right – the Jonas Brothers are only on Broadway in New York City for a week, performing all of their greatest hits from their greatest albums for their Jonas Brothers on Broadway show.
While Nick hasn’t directly addressed the internet’s conspiracy theory about whether or not he can play guitar, he’ll likely have a few guitar riffs ready (on the pitch) to go on the Broadway show.
And as this savvy Twitter user pointed out, context behind a viral video of a world-famous singer seemingly pretending to play the guitar is everything.

Whether or not Nick Jonas can actually play the guitar may still be debatable, but one thing the world could use a little more of is some good old-fashioned internet humor, so we’ll leave you, dear readers, with two more Nick- Jonas can’t play guitar tweets on the go (all jokes aside, Nick is clearly a gifted musician and it’s all fun!).

So cheers to the internet conspiracy theory of the day, which will likely result in more album sales for the Jonas Brothers, so while Nick may not be able to play guitar, he’s been playing the whole internet with the extra dose of free publicity.
