The You Might Be A Guitar Player Thread

[humbuckerstrat]

If you equate guitar playing with sex, you might be a guitar player.

[Northstar]

 

If you're all excited when the wife and kids are going out of the house cause you'll get to crank your amps, you might be a guitar player.

 

 

Then I am really a guitar player.

[m90guy]

If you think Michael Jackson was a weird ass little Pedo, but Pete Townsend is a {censored}ing awesome human being, you might be a guitar player.

[nuke_diver]

You might be a guitar player if whenever you go to a concert you spend half the time trying to figure out what the guitarists rig is and whether you would sound better if you got the same stuff

[GAS Man]

If you watch movies and TV shows where they play guitar and tell everyone around you that what their hands are doing doesn't match what's being played...

 

Funny thought on that one -

 

Elvis used to do that and he was actually a fair guitar player.

 

That must have made him sick to have to pantomime flogging some chords and then have a mismatch looped over.

 

I remember him saying in an interview that some of the scripts they gave him made him physically ill. Now we know the truth, it was prop guitar flailing.

[Vox-Rox]

You dig into your pocket looking for spare change, and only find picks.

 

or

 

You're looking at an advert for a guitar, and show it to your wife/girlfriend and say you really REALLY want one of these. You wonder why she's mad and then you notice the girl holding the guitar is totally nude.

[littlemilo]

You wish the hot chick singer would get out of the way so you can see what kind of amp the guitarist is playing.

[GAS Man]

You can't remember the last time you looked at a Playboy, but every bathroom in the house has a dog eared copy of a catalog from MF, AMS, Zzounds, Sweetwater, Sam Ash, or Carvin within reach.

 

And the Stew Mac catalog is old and sticky.

[BoneNut]

This thread is so much win!! You might be a guitar player if your dad has to send you text messages to turn it down because he can't yell downstairs over your amp... (guilty on several occasions)

 

You may be a guitar player...

If you live downstairs in your parent's basement.

[Steadfastly]

If you know that... you might be a guitar player

 

I did know that. I just wasn't thinking when I posted, I guess. Oh, well, I got to laugh at myself, anyway, so it was worth the 20 seconds it took to post it.

[Badside]

You wish the hot chick singer would get out of the way so you can see what kind of amp the guitarist is playing.

 

And once you find out his rig is "unworthy" (some SS Peavey combo, or worse... a Line 6!), you comment about it loudly to everyone around you.

 

Or... when you realize the guitarist is only playing through a Pod, you actually walk out of the gig.

(Or maybe that one is for the HCAF crowd)

[Steadfastly]

If your dreams are filled with guitars, notes, music staffs, time signatures and your bank account is always in the red.

HAHAHA, I am EXTREMELY guilty on this one:cop: I have take binoculars with me more than once so I can see what amps they are using:facepalm:

[evh1984]

If you can hold the tips of your fingers to a burning lightbulb, without pain, you might be a guitar player.

 

When you can name the guitarist(s) in bands you haven't even heard, you might be a guitar player.

 

When all you friends hate a song, but you try to convince them it's great because the guitar has "great tone", you might be a guitar player.

 

If you listen to jazz and actually like it, you might be a guitar player.

[IamBurnout]

If you empty your 'change' into the bowl on the nightstand...

 

and it was 7 picks, two empty dime bags and a condom...

 

you might be a guitar player.

[DaveAronow]

If you think Kirk Hammett, Angus Young and Eric Clapton suck.

 

 

How DARE you talk about Angus Young that way!!!

[jelloman]

How DARE you talk about Angus Young that way!!!

 

...you might be a guitar player...:poke:

[Spike Li]

If every salesman in every music store in your town knows you by your first name, you might be a guitar player.

 

If you were sad when you heard that Les Paul had died, you might be a guitar player.

 

If your finger nails on your left hand are almost non existent while the ones on your right hand are long, you might be a guitar player.

 

If when you go on holiday, one of the things on the top of your "to do" list is to find a music store, you might be a guitar player.

 

If you have constant ringing in your ears, you might be a guitar player.

[Alecto]

If you know the location of every music store within a 45 minute radius of your home (guilty!) . . .

 

If the owners of said music stores send you personalized Christmas cards every year . . .

 

If, at a concert, you bounce up and down in your seat with excitement every time the guitarist brings out a different axe . . .

 

If you've trained your spouse to recognize the difference between a Tele, a PRS, a Les Paul Standard and a Les Paul Custom (very guilty!) . . .

 

If you and your spouse can converse knowledgeably about the tonal differences between said instruments . . .

 

If your bookshelf is crammed full of Guitar Player back-issues ("Really, darling, I need them for reference!") . . .

[Orange Jackson]

If you can't get along with any guitarist, you might just be a guitar player.

[snowaie]

if you see a really hot chick with a guitar posing sexually, but you see the guitar first..then you might be a guitar player

[snowaie]

If you empty your 'change' into the bowl on the nightstand... and it was 7 picks, two empty dime bags and a condom... you might be a guitar player.

[twofoolsaminute]

If you sneak over to your neighbor's house to see if the box left by the UPS man is from Kansas City...

 

If you spend half the evening trying to get to the right side of the stage to glimpse the guitarist's pedalboard...

 

If you begin to hate a band because they had two hit songs on one album...

 

If your parrot can mimic the sound of an amp turning on...

 

If you have to carry samples of your favorite bands' music because no one's ever heard of Gov't Mule (for example)...

[metalheadUK]

If you dont give a {censored} about gear and are only interested in the end result, without giving a monkeys about what other people think of your equipment choice, you might be a Guitar player.

 

If you'd rather play a mid priced solidly built modern guitar, that some beaten up piece of ancient {censored} thats worth 20 times as much, you might be a Guitar player.

 

If you dont spend most of your life hanging around on internet forums, and actually spend that time playing, you might be a Guitar player.

 

If you wear your Guitar dorkily high for playing comfort, rather than having it hanging round your knees, you might be a guitar player.
