Can Lindsay Lohan play guitar?

Yes, Lindsay Lohan can play the guitar. She spent a lot of time learning how to play the instrument for the first Freaky Friday. She also sang in the film. The actor talked about learning how to play the guitar for the film during an old interview with Chuck the Movieguy.

Lindsay said that she didn't play an instrument before making the film, although she did take piano lessons and briefly played the saxophone in grade school.

"I picked up guitar for this movie," she said. "I played piano on and off when I was younger, but that's really it. ... When I was really little, like fourth and fifth grade, I played the saxophone, because the boy I liked played sax."

"Guitar is the coolest, she added. "I mean, look at it."

Lindsay also sings the song "Ultimate" in the first film at her mom's wedding.

"Things get crazier now," said Lindsay. "The switches are definitely freakier."

Jamie Lee added that Lindsay plays a song in the movie that she's sure will be a hit.

"I'm telling you right now, this one played a song last night at the Wiltern," she said. "It is in my ear like one of those Star Trek earworms. I'm telling you, it's going to be a monster hit. I'm not going to tell you what it's called because we're in the middle of making it, but there are some old favorites played in this movie."

"Anna is grown up now," added Lindsay. "She has a teenage daughter, so there's a lot going on in that relationship. Although Anna has calmed down a bit since she was a teenager."

Freakier Friday debuts in movie theaters on Aug. 8.
