Members Casey4s Posted January 16, 2006 Members Share Posted January 16, 2006 That's kind of a stupid question. What qualifications other than $$$ do you need? Do your driving skills justify the car you drive? Do your {censored}ing skills justify the {censored} you get? Etc etc etc. :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheDirtyCat Posted January 16, 2006 Members Share Posted January 16, 2006 hmm. Not sure really. I think so, but then it doesnt really matter if your good or not. If really good tone makes me happy then thats all i care about. I can shred, i can play some jazz chords i can play some thrash rythem, i can play a bit of funk, i can play some blues, i can fingerpick ok and i can improvise pretty well. I own a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members televisionary Posted January 16, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 16, 2006 Wouldn't it rock if Guitar Center or wherever, tested you before you could buy the high end gear? They had a panel of musicians (albeit dead end ones, considering they work at GC) that critiqued your playing, and based on your score, you get to buy a Crate and a Squire, or a Les Paul and a Triple Rectifier. If the Sonic Youth type guys liked your playing, they'd let you buy a Jazzmaster and a Vox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crypticglobe Posted January 16, 2006 Members Share Posted January 16, 2006 Great question! I was looking at some of those Mondo rigs... and was thinking.... "geez, I hope dude can play". But seriously... whether you can play or not... there is NOTHING wrong with loving the instrument and amplifiers. I think they are pretty righteous things to collect. That having been said... I did a couple year stint as a front of house sound guy for a club here in town. I usually found the more extravagent the guys guitar rig... the worse a player he was. Same with Bass guys. Every once in a while someone would suprise me with KILLER gear AND killer chops though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if this is a good argument. It's about as effective as "Why do fat people wear nice clothes? Everything looks like {censored} on them...." I guess it would make since if some terrible driver was driving a professional NASCAR vehicle around town. But I think that's illegal so it doesn't work either...

Members Ripping Rudy Posted January 16, 2006 Members Share Posted January 16, 2006 If you are in a band making money every week you should have professional grade gear. If you jam once in a while you should have middle of the road gear. If you never leave your house you should have a POD. On second thought, {censored} that. Everyone should have a wall of Marshalls, Boogies and 25 PRS's back stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
