Nay, but you could surely sell your Strat to a non-serious musician and purchase a professional instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nicholai Posted May 28, 2012 Members Share Posted May 28, 2012 Are vintage better than the current crop? They just don't inspire me when i play them. Cool guitars, not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about the statements made by your persona - amusing though they may be - is that they have to make sufficient sense in the world in which your audience live that they are in some sense applicable - even if perceived as outrageous. A lot of humour requires internal consistency but provocative humour has also to be consistent in the terms that the provoked cleave to. So I'd say you've transgressed that here, satirewise, because your audience won't accept the idea that no serious musicians play Strats - and they have references for that belief. Which means either that they'll feel able to dismiss your assertion, which would kill the line of comedic exploration. Or you'll have to up the ante, as it were, and turn your attention to the notion of what constitutes a serious musician, where you're on shakier comedic ground. This isn't to say that the post is unsalvageable. It just needs a little work. Can I suggest we introduce a system where you run your posts past me before going public with them, in order to avoid the shame and embarrassment of me having to correct you in front of the guys?

Members nicholai Posted May 28, 2012 Members Share Posted May 28, 2012 Fine, the volume is in a spot that could be better for you. Buy a new pick guard and move it, voila, the perfect guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you'd care to post ten musicians (who you consider to be "serious") who primarily play Strats, and we can evaluate them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah - so you're taking the second option, to wit: you'll have to up the ante, as it were, and turn your attention to the notion of what constitutes a serious musician, where you're on shakier comedic ground. This is exactly the kind of enterprising, fearless, never-say-die, can-do, gung-ho spirit that I like to see in a young comic starting out in the world! Well done! Here's a dollar! Carry on!

Members Django Sentenza Posted May 28, 2012 Members Share Posted May 28, 2012 Randy Bachman: one hit wonder, not a serious guitarist Jeff Beck: post-yardbirds, plays nothing but tepid dad rock and elevator muzak Adrian Belew: not a guitarist Ritchie Blackmore: metal is a genre for pimply faced teens. Always was, always will be Tommy Bolin: complete nobody Brad Paisley: corporate 80s radio rock masquerading as country Bill Carson: on of the few serious guitarists on this list Eric Clapton: consummate dad rocker with the worst tone in the biz Ry Cooder: snooze-core nobody Dick Dale: Obviously the greatest guitarist on this list The Edge: plays echo pedals, not guitar John Frusciante: Did his best work on a Jaguar Rory Gallagher: snoozecore David Gilmour: Rumpelstiltskin snoozecore. The dullest guitarist ever to go multi-platinum Buddy Guy: blooze player. Automatic disqualification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
