Members noisebloom Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 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 Guilty as charged. Been doing that for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members noisebloom Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bsman Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 If you have ex-spouses, friends, etc. that you rarely think about but you're still mourning that guitar you sold off 20 years ago, you may be a guitarist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EADGBE Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 If you believe Pete Rose is Floyd Rose's brother you might be a guitar player. If you've ever written your local congressman asking that Jimi Hendrix's birthday be made a national holiday you might be a guitar player. If you've ever taken a guitar to a job interview you might be a guitar player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gooder than you Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 If your wife thinks of Harmony Central as your porn, you might be a guitar player. I just moved into a new apartment yesterday. AC wasn't on and it was hot as hell especially after moving and everything. I was sitting my desk with my shirt off still sweating from the heat and strain of moving. (Seriously, 90 degrees INSIDE.) GF came in- didn't hear her- and walked in on me at my computer and sweaty. She thought she caught me "having at it." I was reading HCEG... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bsman Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 If you mourn long-dead virtuosos that virtually nobody except other guitarists even know existed (see Roy Buchanan, Danny Gatton, etc.) you may be a guitarist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChrisGansz Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 If you have at least four guitar picks sitting at the bottom of your dryer right now...Harumph - when you can't find any of the twelve picks that you bought the day before a gig...

Members Elias Graves Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 If you believe more than 2% of the guitar myths floated around, you might be a guitarist. If you can't wait to beat the crap out of your brand new $1000 toy, you might be a guitarist. If you pay extra to have someone else beat up your new $1000 toy, you might be a guitarist. If you honestly believe that your new $1000 toy will make you play better, you are definitely a guitarist. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elias Graves Posted August 16, 2010 Members Share Posted August 16, 2010 Harumph - when you can't find any of the twelve picks that you bought the day before a gig... I have two in my pocket and three more in the ash tray of my truck. You never know when you might run across a guitar that needs playing.

Members DeadNight Warrior Posted August 17, 2010 Members Share Posted August 17, 2010 yea....it worked great.....we were trying to prove to one of our friends (guitar shop owner) who had several vintage gibby's and fenders and would go on and on about how nothing today can sound like that ....yada yada yada.....and we were maintaining that if you plugged a toilet seat into a marshall and cranked it....you couldn't tell the difference....which of course pissed him off to no end.....so we built one....brought it into the store and were playing it thru a cranked Mesa Mark I.....and he comes out going "wow that's a great sounding guitar"....right up until he came around the corner and saw the toilet seat guitar..... he wouldn't speak to us for a month :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
