Sorry, sorry. I had to use it.
Anyways,
This..... Isn't bad. Nah, not too shabby. Other than the cliche 'unconsciousness' there is nothing too much to complain about. Wha- My god... YOU CAN SPELL CORRECTLY?!?! PARAGRAPHS?!? ALMOST PERFECTED?!?!

In terms of formatting, you want to use italics for any inner thoughts.
Example:
Should be:
Same rules as if you were using quotations.
Also, try not to add those little breaks in the story with your own thoughts.
It prevents the reader from keeping themselves immersed when you pop in to make a little note.
Now... story critique time!
Your OC survived a plane crash. A deadly plane crash. If he could feel and see fire burning his body while he was inside, it is alot more serious than just 'keeping a large bandage on it for 3 days.' No, he would most likely have 3rd degree burns in which case it would take anywhere from 3-5 weeks to heal. Also, I seriously hope you will reference to his burns as a weakness later on... To be consistent.
No... It can't be... NO PLEASE NO!
I mean... Sure, I can take shipping in a story nowadays. That shit sells like hotcakes and people eat it up every time if done right. But in a story with an OC, which is usually the author himself, trying to fulfill his fantasies with one of the known cast, it comes off extremely cliche in alot of fics and terribly forced. Unless your someone extremely experienced with the whole 'shipping' do-dad, it hardly ever works.
Best of luck to you, I spent too much damn time writing this!

Thanks you for this, this will really help me out!
I've got plans for this whole fluttershy thing
To continue the massive comment above me, I agree with him.
The story isn't that bad, but it has been done a thousand times. A human going through some weird crash/portal and ending up in Equestria. It was good the first time, I'm sure, but there needs to be something original. And I don't mean original as in your OC plays guitar, I mean story changing original. The last thing anyone wants to read is a story about how some low life from Earth finds his happiness amongst the ponies in Equestria. No amount of formatting, grammar correction or perfect spelling could fix that.
That being said, your grammar, spelling and formatting are quite good. For a first timer, you remind me a lot of myself which is why I'm leaving you this comment. Just make sure to change the game up a little. Make it unique, and create lots of conflict. That's the key to turning some random HiE fic into gold. Also, be as realistic as possible. The guy above me mentioned something about the 3rd degree burns, and I agree. Just try your best to switch it up a little, and create something that nobody has done before.
Good luck!

Thank you, I've got plans to make this whole thing unique, Hehe...
I like it I was listing to Plug In Baby while reading. MUSE FTW!!!!!!
Pacing and punctuation needs work, but I'll track it to see where it goes.
1124681 muse ftw
1124687 Alright sweet man, I'll work on that!
Alright I got chapter one proofread, Most if not all errors in punctuation should be fixed.
I'll fix the rest in a bit!
Changed the thoughts in chapter 2 to italics!
And I changed time from 3 days to 3 weeks before the bandage can be permanently removed!
Basically the major issues have already been addressed. However, I shall throw my hat in as well!
Where someone asked if Sam turned into a pony or not, it raises a good point. I myself had a tough time figuring out if he was human or not. Its easy as a writer to forget about these points, because you think they are obvious. But you have to read your story with the mind of a reader who has no idea what your story is about. There really is no way of knowing if he did change, because you provided no details of it happening.
Oh, and this is just a personal quip of mine, but I dislike how much of the thoughts consist of him telling himself to think. To me, its just filler text that contributes nothing to the actual story.
You have lots of potential as a writer, you have the foundation set for being one, now you just need experience to hone it to a fine art. I look forward to seeing more from you, I really do! For this being your first story, you show a lot of skill that will only be honed and perfected with time
very original
It's epic! I'm tracking it! wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/thumb/5/5e/Pyro_Director2.png/106px-Pyro_Director2.png

You sir have just made my day...
Sorry about a short chapter three, I usually put up 2 chapters a day so... expect one more
Unless I'm really bored!
*strokes false goatee* yes, yes
I see this story developing. *grins darkly* I shall be waiting…
Yeah, another chapter! Story gets interesting after every second!
And he should better learn how to play a guitar with his magic soon, otherwise, his talent will be very obscured.
Anyway, keep up with the story, you're been doing good so far! wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/thumb/2/23/Lollichop_taunt.png/74px-Lollichop_taunt.png

Skip to 24 seconds.
1129236
When I make a chapter that fits the song, I will put lyrics from the songs into some character lines.
Just like I did with madness, except I'll take a more direct approach with adding in lines.
1129200
And yes there will be lyra!
Holy crap, so many comments!
1129267 SUCCESS!
CARNIVOUR DERPY

1130133 I'm saying you rock for taking suggestions. But yea, last chapter for today is cool. You have been working your ass off.
1130144
Hehe, I'll still put out 2 every day.

1130423
Thanks man, And yes maybe I'll put in cambria song
1130468 Well there is only one conflict and that is what song to pick they have so much songs that I like but I will let you go for what you like!
Hmm, yes, that's awesome! Finally Shy Strings got to play the guitar! wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/thumb/1/14/Pyrotaunt3.PNG/81px-Pyrotaunt3.PNG
Oh, and when you make Chapter 5, instead of making straightly a new chapter, copy and paste this into the Author's Note chapter you made earlier, then paste Chapter 5 over this chapter. Just so it doesn't haves incorrect numbers......you know what I mean. wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/thumb/b/bf/Pyro_taunt_laugh.png/90px-Pyro_taunt_laugh.png
1130934
Meh, It doesn't really matter.
P.s. Pyro is best tf2 character
1130963
Hmm, yeah, but then it would prevent from it being noted as 'Chapter 5' while in reality it is Chapter 4.
Yeah, Pyro's my favorite tf2 character.
..derpy...lawl...shes probably thinking of shy strings in a muffin costume playing his music
