Welcome to Guys, a podcast about guys.
I'm Brian.
This is the first show on a run, so I got that right.
I feel really good.
I had a really tough morning this morning.
And with me today is the Ibanez guitar player, Chris James.
Ibanez.
Is that even?
I play Ibanez guitars.
Is that how you pronounce it?
Anyways, I'm not sure, but I'm sure that's insulting.
And Brian, excited to be
here excited to talk about shredding this week on the show somebody who i am a huge fan of amber car
bloodberry tart on twitter what's up amber hello thank you for thank you for not saying that i play
ibanez i appreciate that i would never but do you play an ibanez i my first uh that I play Ibanez. I appreciate that. I would never. But do you play an Ibanez?
My first guitar was an Ibanez.
I have one too.
Yeah?
Uh-huh.
That makes sense.
Okay, so what is this?
Now, what is the significance?
You're going to have to help me out here, you guys excluding me right off the bat.
So what is an Ibanez?
Is it a bad one?
Let me explain one thing real quick. So K it oh god buddy we're one minute into the episode you've already brought
up corn come on it's a guitar episode corn came out playing seven string ibanez guitars and it
was if you were like a heavy metal person,
you were like, that's the fucking coolest thing
anybody's ever done.
Yeah, that was like their thing.
Ibanez is like the working man's metal guitar.
Oh, I see.
It's working class.
I got you.
Okay.
So then you were trying to insult me, Brian,
by calling me working class.
Very interesting.
But so seven, help me out here again what is a
seven string guitar versus a standard guitar what does it give you extra string extra low string
specifically so it gives you really make your new metal extra heavy yeah that's why it actually
like allows you to play like different Yeah, lower notes, additional lower notes.
That's why Korn sounds so badass and heavy, Chris.
That's why.
I don't know, man.
Well, that's why Fieldy, their bassist, can play like that,
where he just sounds like he's playing the bass
like he's banging on a bunch of trash can lids.
Yeah, it's so cool.
Because the guitars are so low, it doesn't matter
that the bass is doing almost complete
nonsense. I agree it sounds like trash.
I agree it sounds like absolute trash.
Have you ever heard the...
Me and John do the POD cast
and we did a...
Fieldy has a jazz
record. Yes!
Fieldy's jazz record.
What's that called? Basically?
Yes. Yes. B-A-S- b-a-s-s that's like some shit from the chive or something oh man but i actually i have it here on my desk
i actually have the uh official corn coffee branded tumbler i'm drinking one too oh you also have your corn coffee mug
let's go this is fucking brutal this is fucking brutal so he releases this thing and he's doing
an interview and somebody's like uh what made you decide i mean something about why do you play bass
or what kind of bass guitar do you like
to hear and he says i don't even really like bass guitar it makes me feel nauseous
that explains how he plays right yeah because he just hits the fucking thing he doesn't really
play the guitar he just hits it it's so he slaps the bass the bass. But he doesn't, Chris, he doesn't play anything.
He really just holds it like this and just slaps it.
That's why it sounds so, I mean, at the time, very cool.
I would have thought that maybe he would have learned how to play it by now,
but whatever we're going to do.
Oh, man.
Have you ever heard the live set of Falling Away From Me?
Definitely not. oh man have you ever heard the live set of falling away from me definitely not but they're all
playing like it's a uh mt not a i think it's an aol unplugged session or something like that
so they're all playing acoustic guitars and it sounds like a you know a nice acoustic arrangement
until like all the instruments come in and then the camera pulls back and you realize
feely is still playing his regular electric bass with the same tone it always has and it's just like these deafening trap like dissonant trash can sounds coming over the song good stuff it's so
good uh i am sharing my screen uh because there's a guy on screen that chris knows do you see him
chris there's actually two guys i know both of these these guys. One of them is like Michael Nolan,
who is a, he's a rock music critic.
And the other guy is what the guy from saw who kills all those people.
Well,
yeah,
maybe,
but he's known in this realm as Royce in the house.
And he is extremely old to be using that moniker.
If you're wondering,
Michael Nolan is an expert
on rock and roll and um i mean nobody knows more about rock and roll than michael nolan i'm going
to tell you that right now we go to him anytime we have a rock and roll based problem he only
knows like he only knows like 11 bands that he talks about and none of them are current bands
none of them are active or maybe some of them are doing those sort of reunion tours or whatever but
he wants led zeppelin to have a reunion tour and i was like the guy's 80 and this is his last chance
it's like what the fuck dude i love i can see the like also recommended videos and it's like Joe Bonamassa
videos Jeff Beck
Kiss yeah
Motley Crue like this is really like a
a murderer's row of
albums that dads like to listen to
oh and then there's an interesting one there
in the recommended videos as well
the Bob and Tom show the woman's song
that one is not something we
want to be playing we played it once that one is not something we want to be
playing we played it once on a patreon you don't want to hear that one no you do not want to hear
that one let's see if i did this right can you guys hear this favorite yeah musicians of all
time okay it's a little quiet though it's a little quiet is there i know i can oh no i can't turn her
up um it's just as fucking mixed. This happens all the time.
Nolan doesn't have his shit cranked up.
Well, he will probably be loud enough, but he's got turned down, you know, and we don't
have to worry about Royce talking that much with Michael here.
Royce doesn't.
Michael doesn't let people talk that often.
His blues bass guitar playing, and he got into a little bit of a more um he got a little bit
away from the blues at times come on let michael talk boys come on i didn't have a problem with it
uh he's so iconic i know you're a big fan too michael oh yeah oh yeah yeah i think uh eric
clopton when i first of all for a solid decade and we're we're going back 50 plus years yeah we're always
going back yeah yeah you don't have to say that it's understood when we're watching your videos
that we're going back 50 plus years you're in a state of arrested development musically sir
i mean if you if if if this if youtube existed in 1963 or let's say 1970 this is what the room his room
wouldn't be any different oh yeah it would be it would look the exact same and his hair line would
be a little bit different he's got the big swoops he's got long hair and then it's like on the side
he's got those big hair caves that you could fucking camp under you know so that
might like like his hair might be a little fuller but he would essentially look the same as well
we're gonna come back he's like uh he's like he's really preserved from like a different era of guy
it's really impressive he's like he is finding a mummified version of the guy who picked his
girlfriend up from high school in the 70s yeah well there you go totally yeah he fucking have been fought so
episode two was when i found michael nolan of guys and now we're up in the 40s and it's like
i can't get enough of the guy because i can't imagine and we're gonna hear a lot of that on
this episode too anybody who's spent time in like sort of musicians circles and stuff like that knows
that like they really care a lot they're fighting each other basically over who's rated who's
overrated and stuff like that they take it really seriously and i said this online the other day i
can't imagine being mad because somebody said aerosmith. I can never sit around and be like, what the fuck is wrong with you?
Aerosmith sucks great.
But I don't, I guess that,
I suppose I agree with you there,
but then again, I think about it.
If someone says a movie is bad,
like I'm a big movie head,
and if someone says a movie is bad,
I would never post about it.
I wouldn't go reply to them,
but in my head, I'm like, fuck you.
Like, fuck you, you piece of shit.
That movie is awesome, and it makes me really mad it makes me really mad really when anyone says anything
negative about any movie so i kind of i guess i understand a bit um let's start out with uh
our guitar with user wolf puppy who is that okay i thought that was i'm thinking wolf mother that was a real guitar that was a bad
right yeah um well this is about gear and he says i have a bit of an addiction to plectrums
those are picks right who says plectrums guitar guys guitar guys do if i was like at like like
at a show with my band and i said plectrum everybody would make fun of me okay so how what percentage of them know what a plectrum is they would probably all know what it
is um but they would think you're doing like a you're being goofy or silly or like it's got it's
got it almost like oh let me go grab it out of my automotive kind of vibe totally yeah absolutely
like a like a from a different time almost but also just like trying to sound like you're really knowledgeable about something.
Yeah.
So just to be clear, so Amber, you play in a band, you are, you're a musician, you do you play guitar in the band?
I play guitar and I play bass. I've been in a couple bands, I put a couple albums out with a band called Downtrotter, I was in a band called Solarized, I'm in a band called Nothing Wrong Now.
out with a band called downtrodder i was in a band called solarized i'm in a band called nothing wrong now and i've like you know done the touring circuit and all that so i'm not without i'm
immersed in this world to a degree what kind what kind of what would you say is like if you had to
say a genre of music that you predominantly play uh i've predominantly been in like
punk hardcore and metal bands cool Cool. Okay, sweet.
So very much guitar-based.
Oh, yeah.
Very.
A lot of guitar-based stuff.
Yeah.
When I was reached out like, oh, we want you for guitar guys.
I was like, ah, I'm incredibly qualified.
I've been around so many guitar guys.
And so just to be clear, with all of that knowledge and all of that experience and stuff,
you still would never even dream of calling it a plectrum.
No, absolutely not.
If anything, the experience would discourage me from saying that.
I just wanted to clarify.
You don't have to be 60 years old.
You know what I mean?
It's really guitar teacher core to say.
Yeah, well, he goes, I have a bit of an addiction to plectrums and he
goes i fell down the plectrum rabbit hole and i don't even know how i got started a few months
ago and i'm closing in on about 800 dollars in various good lord a pack of picks is like a couple
bucks yeah that's what you reference you have to have a lot yeah because you'd have to he has a lot
of them then well the really high-end boutique
ones could cost close to 100 each oh so he's going he's looking to get ripped off he's interested in
being ripped off he doesn't like his money he thinks he has too much of it and he's looking
to give it to someone else for nothing i understand yeah this is some real like let me make it clear
i'm a mark yeah let me start off my story that way stupid idiot i will pay 100 for the smallest piece of plastic you know and and the thing is i started looking them up
to see if there's one that i could maybe buy and check out what the difference is i only got to 35
and i was like i better hold on i have a pic in my bedroom uh that came with the corn shoes
and it's like kind of a metal thing so
it's pretty cool corn shoes you got corn shoes in the corn adidas shoes oh my god corn adidas shirt
please dm me a picture of these after we're done this i will i will thank you okay uh so he goes
uh that are close to a hundred dollars each made with engineering grade
thermoplastics used for spaceships he's like he's quoting the like sales pitch that ripped him off
you know what i mean like he's like just reading it out like these how does the guy that says
plectrums also say spaceships yeah that that is that is really wild to just be posting this i've paid 100 for thermoplastic spaceship
it's so extremely like dumb guy's idea of what like high engineering looks like yeah it's like
it goes to space which means it's good yeah spaceship is the funniest word i i just i've never heard an adult say oh look you know the
spaceship's taken off today the different shapes gauges bevels materials etc all affect
all affect feel some people collect pedals and i collect pics so a question for you amber is that
do you find is there some truth to that that like different plectrums uh have a
different feel and they would affect your playing to a degree yes there's like different weights
and different materials of them and most people like after like maybe a year of playing guitar
settle on like okay this is the most comfortable one for me gotcha yeah for me it would be
thermoplastic yeah exactly for me it's the $100 one that they use on the spaceships.
For me, it's the one where they cut a little hole out of the spaceship wall and turned it into a plectrum.
Yeah, exactly.
They actually make them up in the International Space Station.
They make them, yeah.
It's expensive.
It's all shipping.
Yeah, the shipping is outrageous.
It actually only costs $2.
Shipping is $98.
yeah the shipping is outrageous it actually only cost two bucks shipping is 98 um so few responses to this and the guy goes uh sy lj he goes i have a nice collection from places i visited normal
that's normal that's totally normal similar to like collecting bought you know like uh postcards
or whatever you know just yeah this is like a normal guy's version of this guy it's like oh yeah
memories of places you've been totally normal he's like i grabbed some of their store picks i have a
rock and roll hall of fame one i know somebody would not be happy with that well yeah that rock
and roll hall of fame one's bullshit it's interesting they sell picks there when they
just let people in who don't even play the fucking guitar that's true sorry sorry amber it's just my friend michael it's a big gripe he has about the rock and roll
hall of fame um he goes i got i have one for the rock and roll hall of fame rock and roller coaster
from 90s band picks people have given me picks made of materials that are useless for playing
guitar glass for instance it's a fun hobby i didn't realize that you could get a rock and roller coaster pick.
You guys don't know that's the Aerosmith roller coaster in Disney World?
Oh, no, I did not know that.
Yeah, that's what that is.
Have you ever looked at the list of songs that Aerosmith roller coaster?
Because one of them, they released an album around the time of the rock and roller coaster.
So they wanted to put one of the singles
from the new album so you can pick like all their hits and then this one song that nobody's ever
heard uh wolf puppy says uh he's the original poster he goes i have around 300 worth of pics
sitting in the shopping cart for a few days now but i haven't pulled the trigger yet
these guys are audiophile guys like music people are
such audio like they will just spend all the money in the world i was just thinking that this has huge
audiophile guy energy yeah this guy might this guy seems like maybe he has some of those crystals or
whatever that you put on your chords what are those things that this guy's absolutely got like
gold plated ends uh yeah like fourth inch cables for his
guitars and thinks that it does something to the sound have you heard of the crystals have you
heard of the crystals no i have not uh brian are they called crystals what are they what is that
what they are you mean the pebbles are you talking pebbles they're they're pebbles and they come in
little bags and you tape them to your cords on your radio and it does make your it a lot of people have
said it makes it sound great it's it's very noticeable these pebbles that you put on there
this is a real thing that they sell on these audio are very they're very cool it's so cool
they make crystal healing for guys there are two kinds of guitarists those that never lose picks and those that do that all the time
i'm the latter oh well it is an listen it's an easy thing to lose one of the easiest things to
lose you know out of anything it's so tiny yeah to be clear that the second like the two kinds of
guys he outlined there the second one he loses picks all the time that's the normal guy that's
the standard that was like is like 95 percent of people who play guitars well this guy
is justifying and another guy is justifying he bought a pretty expensive pick and this is the
last pick guy he goes i normally so he talks about first guy says i need a new bag every three weeks
or so and then a guy responds i normally am as well but it's easier to keep track of this plectrum because of its size and the knowledge that it is more expensive
it stays in the same spot on top of my amp head at home and it's the first thing in my guitar case
to and from band practice so this guy has a very expensive plectrum that he has decided he will
never use and the thing that people understand about people who buy expensive
things is that they always say they're never going to lose them and they always say they
aren't going to mess them up and guess what they do i am i definitely have experience with oh yeah
how big is this plectrum he said because of the size you, like he's got a big giant oversized one. Yeah. What does that mean?
I don't know. But also I do. I understand his rationale here.
This does make sense from like I with sunglasses.
This is what I would do with sunglasses.
I had the same sort of thing where I would buy these sunglasses that were kind of cheap and I wouldn't look after them.
And I end up replacing them all the time.
And it cost me more money.
And I'm buying an expensive pair that I took care of and paid attention to
and they've lasted me for a really long time.
So I do understand that.
Well, let's go to the Ultimate Guitar Forums,
which is a place where guitarists meet up
and have been meeting up since like 2003.
Oh yeah, I used to post on this when I was in high school.
Very cool, very cool.
Every person that plays guitar on my timeline was like,
you have to go to ultimate guitar forum.
Yes,
absolutely.
Straight nine says I've been studying with my guitar idol.
However,
I started to feel like he's not a good teacher.
The guitar teachers always leave students to play on their own or stay
with the whole time.
So this guy, this guy's guy's like hey all right so
start playing in a gata devita and then he like goes to the store and
coffee or something i had a guitar so i don't talk about it much i tried to learn to play guitar
for two months and uh i wish you gave it a good shot well i quit because he wouldn't i
couldn't figure out how to play pantera songs that's what i went in like yeah i'd really like
to play some pantera you know and he's like well you're gonna have to learn these scales and stuff
and i'm like can't you just teach me the scales that you would need to learn to play pantera
god so this guy you're telling me this fucking this piece of shit was trying to
give you the actual fundamental knowledge you needed to to be a decent guitar player and do
the things you wanted to do wow fuck him in my in my mind in my mind i thought like well if he
teaches me how to play a riff that would sound like pantera then i can move that stuff around and play a riff
that is kind of like pantera but my own thing is what i thought safe to say you wanted you wanted
the accolades and you didn't want to put in the work absolutely not absolutely i am not i i mean
i had a guitar and ibanez ax um i had a guitar for a while and I gave it, and this is the worst thing.
This is the craziest thing.
So my, my brother-in-law was like 12 or something and I had the guitar and he's like, I'd like
to kind of learn how to play guitar.
And I was like, you can have it kid, but you're, you know, never going to learn, you know,
your pet, his parents weren't gonna get him uh
lessons or anything learned he still plays in bands now so i'm kind of jealous
about that because i wanted to play guitar you know oh yeah you definitely can it's obviously
easier with an instructor but i think there's a lot of people especially nowadays right you can
go online and watch youtube tutorial videos and you can learn how to play guitar without
having a teacher. And even without those tutorials, I think there are people who
can just pick it up, you know, they can watch other people doing it and pick up
what's happening and read mute, learn how to read music or whatever.
Yeah. I learned a lot of what I learned was from guitar tabs and ultimate guitar, honestly.
Yeah. Yeah. I learned how to do guitar guitar i learned how to play tabs and i did
like i learned how to play killing in the name of uh nothing else matters which is very easy to play
i mean it's all open things you don't have to use the other hand and i learned some uh i learned
part of a riff of a pantera song and i would get so mad at the guy that was
like no i need to know the whole fucking riff i need to know the whole song and you gotta
understand those songs have solos in them and everything it would be 10 years for me to learn
imagine what this poor guy was thinking like he's just trying his best to impart some knowledge on you and you're a little stupid how old are you at
this time uh 20 and oh oh i love because now i'm picturing the way you looked and everything too
and the way you used to act and stuff and you were you were probably a real little shit you're
probably you're probably coming in there all you're probably a little high possibly as well
yeah yeah yeah i was probably high and it was i really would just go in there every week and be like teach me this death song
yeah just gotta learn so high teach me this song and he's like that's not how it works
for the hundredth time yeah coming in like i need to learn this cold chamber riff right now
right now because it's like in my head dude and i can't get it out he's like on acid or something if i could learn i got a pv triple x in my ibanez guitar here i'm ready
to play some fucking cold chamber songs i'm ready to learn how to play loco i would learn how to
play big truck okay i would have loved to have learned how to play big truck that would be a jam
uh joe go go gone says i think if he leaves you to play on your own or talks the whole
time that's bad i had teacher once who would let his roommates band jam in the living room while
we did our lessons however i will also say that if you're not a beginner your teacher you absolutely
needs to be first and foremost somebody who's playing you really like that's the most important
so i see so you have to respect their play that sort of makes sense you have to respect their abilities otherwise you're not going to really take their word
yeah and you're going to pick up some part of their style learning from them
yeah well amber i gotta ask you a question uh you ever played a 12 string guitar i've never
played a 12 string now so just is this even lower notes no i don't know what that is it's every
string is doubled um so the bottom three strings are doubled with a string that's an octave up
and i think the top three are just doubled and so it gives like a kind of shimmery sound tom petty
played one yeah but but so it doesn't give you additional, like, it doesn't change. It just gives you more sound.
Yes, it gives you, like, a more full sound.
Gotcha.
Okay.
This guy goes, Matt's account says, 12-string owners,
how much do you play your 12-string as opposed to 6?
He goes, I've sort of fallen for a sweet 12-string,
but it's pretty pricey, and I'm just not sure how much I'd use it.
Guy responds and goes, the only difference is in expense
and maintenance
is it has an extra six strings.
That shouldn't affect how much he uses it
unless you're lazy, I guess.
So people had been saying it takes more maintenance
on your 12 string guitar.
And a guy responds and goes,
on the internet, laziness is a prerequisite.
And then Chum Jumper says,
I didn't mean to imply that the maintenance was related
to how much it gets played. It won't get played much because it's a fairly niche sound and
the instrument itself isn't very versatile and we got a reply that goes i regularly hear people on
this website say they haven't changed their strings in years and are wondering if they have
to or not so yeah laziness is going to be expected from these most of them spend more time on
reddit than on their guitar oh these dads are so sassy yeah sounds like you gotta get those fingers
off the keyboard and onto a fender strat all right stat well here's what makes these guys mad
and we'll get into some mad guys and then we'll maybe check
in with noland again uh he goes uh who are your top five most overrated guitar players ever
ah here we go time oh man this is gonna be a bloodbath i love this yeah because no matter who
it was we all i mean this is a classic clickbait uh technique that
publications use nowadays where they're like here's a list of the worst or the best or whatever
just knowing that it's gonna make a bunch of people mad and post about it it's like blowing a
horn that brings people that love to fight together you know what i mean it's like you you post what is
the it's like you put like sky wrote everybody fight about so everybody that likes to fight
fight and they will show up national i was just gonna say one of the lists this year like worst
movies of the year and they had asteroid city on there you know and it's like asteroid city was
good you know it was a good movie and it was well received and everything but they just throw that on there knowing that's gonna give people all
fucking fired up to start fighting so let's hear a little guitar fight here's a guy and and amber
you're gonna really like these because the first one is a guy that says kirk hammett so that's from
metallica yeah zach wild who's that from second guitarist from ozzy osbourne after randy roadside
he's playing in pantera now too uh justin guitar well that seems i don't i don't know him but from
the name i would say he's probably good like my guess is he invented the guitar no justin guitar
after him justin guitar is a guy that does lessons online that is really well thought of.
Oh, I see.
I see.
Okay.
And then John Frusciante.
I know the name John.
What's John Frusciante from?
Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
And the guy responds and says,
you leave Justin out of this.
Oh, I see.
So that's a Justin stance.
He's got his, he's got a shoot.
Justin's got shooters.
Yes. Justin's got shooters.
And to be fair,
the you leave Justin out of this comment is like almost four times as upvoted as the original one and it's
like kind of true too because it's like you're naming a bunch of very famous like uh you know
people who are in bands and then you throw in this guitar teacher from youtube it just doesn't seem
to fit you know yeah uh he goes seriously and he goes you leave justin out of this guy goes seriously that's like
kicking santa and justin sanderco is a really good guitarist so uh guys i have to upgrade to
pro i thought i was uh he goes uh this is funny this is funny everybody i just i want everyone
to know how funny this is please as you're listening. Brian, we're doing this on Zoom, and Brian has not paid for the premium.
And so now it's just flashed up a thing saying that there's nine minutes left in the meeting.
This is incredible.
The Flubheads are having an absolute blast right now.
I thought I signed up for Pro yeah i know that's that's
known as a sign-up flub that's known as a that's known as a sign-up flub i i don't believe in that
i don't know i have a question for you though brian do you think you're going to be able to
fix this i don't know that that's going to happen if you sign up for pro is it going to
retroactively work for this particular call or are we going to have to?
It says upgrade to pro right here.
Yeah.
Clicking it and it's not taking me anywhere.
Oh, this is a real flub.
Yeah, this is a massive flub.
Well, I mean, it's not a big, what we'll do is when it gets, we, at least we see the
timer and then when it gets down to it, you know, I'll start counting it down while you
guys are
talking and then we'll end it and then we'll send another link and then we'll restart it. And then,
you know, you can, you can maybe send a message to your old friend, Chris, and see if he wants
to toss those together and make it an episode. Oh, wait, I think I got it. I think I got it.
Oh, Amber, by the way way he often says that and he
rarely has it i would consider just doing this on discord where you wouldn't have to pay for
your call to be as long as you want no i know it's for gamers and that's cringe but the reason
no no the reason is ember uh listen i i'm with you we could have this conversation the reason is because discord does
not record it okay yeah you're talking about if you if we were doing local recordings then you
also have to get your guests to do a local recording and send it to you it's yeah a little
more of them and then someone has to put it together after brian prefers to record it and
then just be able to put it up which streamard is really good for that because it records each side.
It does record each individual track.
So it comes down to it.
It allows you to adjust those and it's a little bit better audio wise than, than
zoom, so it is, it does work fairly well for us generally.
That makes sense.
We use a Zen caster to a similar end on my, uh,
yeah, we've, we've used Zencastr actually
when we had Chris Locke on
because on their Evil Men podcast, they use it.
So yeah, when we were having issues,
we used Zencastr once ourselves.
I think I'm-
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
We just got a note.
This meeting has been upgraded by the host
and now includes more minutes, everyone.
Give it up for Brian.
All right.
Now that might be, dare I say, the first ever flub fix.
Yeah.
That is the first time we've ever had a flub and Brian actually fixed it and negated the flub, folks.
We're going to have to go back.
That was not a flub.
They're calling him the Paul Gilbert of fixing flubs.
Oh, we're going to go to, oh, hang on on you know that like clip like oh no no they're saying it didn't
happen oh no oh wait they're saying he caught it oh no old man learns old man says uh seriously
that's like kicking santa and justin sandico is a really good guitarist can you um can you show us
the can you share the screen again?
It went away when you were being chastised for not signing up for pro.
Well, yeah, I mean, it's so mean.
Okay, so he goes Nashville hot pick and says, I beg to differ.
Why doesn't he have any albums if he's such hot shit?
So, okay, hang on a second.
I mean, listen, that's not.
Why doesn't he? Well well he doesn't need him he teaches guitar lessons on the internet i guess different things but i would just it does it is
i guess i just don't identify with the a person who's like taking that art and being like all i
want to do with it is teach it i don't want to like do it myself or whatever I just don't
sync up with that but I guess there are people like that right he just doesn't have any yeah
okay I mean why I mean if you're a teacher because like the guy I had that was a teacher would be
like you know I I he was like really into like Gangve Malmsteen and and those guys which we'll
hit here in a few minutes. Oh, hell yeah.
Yeah.
I know him even.
We get a reply that says,
if releasing albums makes you a hot shit,
then you think Kirk Hammett,
Zach Wilde, and John Frusciante are hot shits, right?
That's what's called a false equivalency.
Oh, but you don't like them,
so there must be other things we can use
to judge guitarists besides album releases.
Maybe you can be a good guitarist who hasn't released an album spoiler you can also justin's band has
released three albums and he also released a solo album so oh wow okay so that guy that listen old
man learns old man is very very sassy he is like a all-star message board all-star you know like that's known as
false equivalency like he's fucking absolutely laying people out on this message board
this guy's a real yeah this is like a classic guitar forum guy absolutely yeah he's been around
for a long i mean his name old man learns old man he's an old guy he's probably been here since the
start of the forum and he's like sort of this he sees himself as this all-knowing figure kind of
you know well our friend nashville hot pick and does have a reply and he says uh holy fuck you're
annoying yeah yeah yeah so that confirmed i think probably too that people know this
i'm sorry i offended your man crushes why do you even give two fucks who i believe is overrated
suck justin some more so he said justin guitar off so he's basically saying if you love him so
much why don't you fucking have sex with him and suck his cock which is like totally fair uh very
mature thing to say he raises some good points he does raise some good points if you're like
so obsessed with him why don't you have sex with him and suck his dick
that sounds like the the swinger world would would totally agree with that right that's true and some
of the people we know that's actually appropriate like hey if you if listen if you're such a fan of
my wife why don't you eat her you know such a huge fan of tom suck him off why don't you suck him off for four hours because that's
how long it takes them to come i like this like implication it's like a swinger guy who's ended
up in a non-swinger social situation but only has the social skills he built up there yeah
anytime he hears anyone say anything good about somebody's like well you should at least
be and sucking them then yeah well you got to be careful though around vanillas and in
reality vanillas it's it can be a difficult thing to like oh I'm at a party with mainly
Vanilla sometimes you have to wait till they leave before anything happens I love the idea
of a guy who's trying to make it work in normal friend situations.
Yeah.
Desperately trying to be normal.
Oh, okay.
So I guess we'll 69 now or?
Oh, no, no, no, we won't.
Oh, yeah.
We'll just have some.
We'll just watch.
Keep watching.
All right, cool.
The two worst people you can.
There's like two things that you do not want to be called.
They're basically slurs to me.
Vanilla and single guy.
Single guy, Amber.
In the swingers community, in the sex club community, there is nothing more despicable than the single man.
First off, they can only go into certain areas with a couple.
And as soon as the couple leaves that area they have to also leave
and somebody comes and like shoes them out it's truly there's like all these different rules for
single guys and shit because obviously they they would ruin it otherwise but there's like almost
two sets of rules at every sex club one set of rules for the couples and one set of rules for the single guys oh yeah single women
are the top of the they're known as unicorns genuinely and they are like the top best people
in the you know in the lifestyle so it's very real treatment an old man learns old man says
you have to believe me when i tell you i really really really don't that's how you can tell he took three
reallys he typed out really three times that's how much he doesn't care you in fact began this by
begging to differ with me i only take offense at the lazy reasoning and the tinge of homophobia
so i don't think it was a tinge of it yeah it was very damn it was quite overt he's telling you if you like him you should suck his god a kind machine is mad about a different
person in this guy's list he says zach fucking wild overrated good grief and uh nashville hot
pick and replies and says you must love you overused pinch harmonics um yeah he got him there i mean
really did get him there yeah oh yeah we all we all know what that means and we all agree
what's funny about this though is i posted that two guys were fighting you can look at this on
twitter right now i posted that two guys were fighting over zach wilde one of the responses
was like let me guess it's about overused pinch
harmonics okay so tell so let's let's for non-musicians what what does that mean to a lay
person a pinch harmonic is a kind of sound you can do with a guitar you mostly hear in metal
um badass probably and that is like uh
probably and that is like uh yeah well we like that that's the what we're all looking for us later uh a kind machine says not really he did go all out with that shit but the guy is a
phenomenal guitarist you just don't like his use of harmonics and that's why he makes your list
well yeah well yeah that's how a list works yeah i don't like an element of his guitar playing and
therefore find him to be overrated yeah yeah uh then nashville hot pick and let you know uh that the fake biker shtick
the fact he wrote dime bags nuts pride and glory was awesome too bad he didn't make any more
southern rock albums so this guy might just like southern rock and he was wait wait i didn't he
was writing dime bags nuts he did he rode dime bags nuts they
might have sucked him fuck but wait a second yeah so what band was dime bag in again pantera
pantera damage plan okay okay i got invited to that damage plan concert but i ended up having
to work overtime so the damage plan concert yeah i had a buddy that got he got shot yeah because the tickets were not selling well
so everybody had a couple of extra ones and a guy messaged me i was like you want to go see
damage plan and i said uh yes and then uh i got stuck on a job at the cable company and uh
couldn't go i i didn't get off work until like two hours late.
That's actually kind of wild to me, though, because I've heard you talk about your time at the cable company.
You did not seem to be a good employee. You were often on pills.
You crashed a car a lot of times.
So did you ever consider just going to the concert?
You could have saw a man die.
Yeah, it was great.
Was this before you were actively trying to get fired from the job
yeah and it was a time where i was like a lead there was this small period of time where i was
a lead at the cable company because and i've said this before and i feel like this makes me look so
bad but like people just wanted to be my friend there so they would like let me get away with
all kinds of stuff and then my boss
was just like you should be a lead yeah and i was like your boss who is also addicted to pills right
different boss different boss okay so uh he goes uh so a kind machine says so you don't think he's
overrated as much of a player you just don't like him and he nashville hot pick and says no his
playing is overrated in my opinion i'm sure his legion of fans think differently well yeah so you don't think he's
overrated as a player you just don't like him as a player no that's what it is to think someone's
overrated other people like him and you don't like him at the same level like yeah that's like
what that means we'll come back to more uh arguments over overrated but something that people will
know about the bourbon guys episode uh we have to hit this i think uh discussion wife says i have
too many guitars ah yes oh this is a classic guitar guy just as a classic guy thing yeah this
is not just guitar guys this is a thing that happens yeah bourbon
guy just spending too much money on whatever the thing is you know and it's like you can imagine
there's these situations where it's like a family and they're like you know they need extra money
for some really important thing and it turns out the husband's spent 1400 on a bottle of
pappy van winkle and now they can't afford it. So yeah, very common.
There's a few of these, but we're going to start with this one. The guy goes, I just count it. I
have 15 guitars. My wife complained that I had three in the living room. So I moved all but one
to the basement. Now I have a jam space and a happy wife. So your wife sounds pretty cool.
Yeah. That's pretty good. Yeah yeah three in the living room is excessive
it's a living room not a guitar room allowing you to leave one in the living room is pretty nice and
yeah sounds like she had no problem with you jamming hey i'm really happy for you too seems
like they really made it work yeah they did i love that seems like his wife doesn't know he has 12
more guitars though to me no she knows you know what i mean she's been down there i think they have a very
happy marriage and this is this is the dream of a guitar guy to have you know a wife who's kind
of like this like she can't fully embrace it what about i mean because it can't be your two
your thing together with her that's not what these guitar guys want no they want it to be
their thing yeah but she has to like allow you to do it you know
like this it's like the audiophiles that were so excited that their wife like the guy that kept
we read on the audio files guy episode that there was a guy who bought his wife these really
expensive headphones and she didn't like them and she was sort of just sticking with the airpods
and he was like mad about it well you
can't make her care about that this guy goes uh low-end penguin says buy all instruments in one
color and she'll never know the difference so that's that's a nice thing that's kind of cool
it's like that's like kind of old school just sort of like sort of old thinking about you know gender
roles that's wild yeah that's
yeah it's just like listen you know women they just care about decorating and how the place
looks and like so if you just put them all in one color then and that one's got 77 up votes
by the way oh yeah our guys are like oh you know it you know how women be as long as you're financially sufficient in your hobby
wife should mind her business lol yeah well i don't know whatever i guess people have a different
idea of marriage but some people would say that your business becomes shared yes well
you should respond by telling her you have too many wives says harlow when that's funny that's
probably gonna go well yeah well the divorced guitar guy is like another genre of guitar guy
because the ultimate top guitar guy is divorced because he has too many guitars like oh yeah
oh yeah he's the king on the throne yeah his his wife was accepting of it but he just like pushed
it so far that it was like too much for anybody to deal with you know that's why there's so many
like like not just guitar guys but like famous rock guys if you're like i wonder what so-and-so
from metal band from the 80s is doing it's i guarantee you it's like he's got a wife that's
like 20 years younger than him and she's got like a rat tattoo met her at a show was like oh it's just you know we just she's a really old soul i love her and
really what it is is like they get divorced the first time and they're like i need to find someone
enamored enough with me to tolerate the amount of guitars i have in my home
absolutely i need somebody who will just let me buy a hundred guitars on a whim here's a really
good bit of advice for material landscapes he goes uh
you could say it could be worse some hobbies are expensive i have by the way guitars are very
guitars are expensive to be clear yeah like to buy buying a lot of them very expensive i have
co-workers with 100 000 trucks even more expensive boats for fishing an rv what's a few thousand in guitars
compared to all that worked for me uh well yeah okay well yeah you could just say to your wife
like um jeff bezos has like a freaking yacht and you're worried about me buying 75 guitars at a
thousand dollars a piece yeah and the thing is even if like you're a real tone head
right you could probably get just about every sound you want out of a guitar with like maybe
four maybe five if you want acoustic in there i remember i saw weezer like for the green album
tour it was weezer and tenacious d and rivers cuomo had switching guitars through the whole fucking thing like he
literally between every song would have somebody bring him another guitar i was like there's no way
no fucking possible way that's necessary and yeah probably a little bit for show a little bit kind
of a cool yeah it depends there's gonna be a couple reasons it's like maybe they're in different tunings i feel like for weezer that's probably not the case
that would make sense that's like the legitimate reason is like that and i was in band with a
guitarist who would bring two guitars to every show in case one got messed up um yeah and that
those make sense but once you get past that it starts to be like the tunings make sense if you're
playing a concert you're playing a
concert you're not going to sit there and just tune your guitar you know well i have been to a
concert once you guys know the brian jonestown massacre i do yeah so i i used to be a huge fan
of the bjm and i went to a concert once where they were drinking um out of full finlandia bottles of
vodka like they were just drinking out of the bottles and finished them
and by the concert went on for three and a half hours and by the end of it they were
tuning their guitars between songs and taking like 30 minutes or so to do it as they were just kind
of and yeah so i would have said it would have been probably better for them in that instance
if they had a guitar that was you know pre- pre-done for them. Yeah, like Sonic Youth used to tour with like a dozen guitars
because every song has some stupid tuning that they made up.
Well, my wife was there too, and she got really bothered
because in between every song, Rivers yelled at the guitar tech
because the guitars weren't set up the right way
or didn't get out of there on time.
And it's like, you know what, what motherfucker if you got 15 guitars on stage you can't like expect everything to be
perfect and and and it's superfluous you don't need that many for sure you don't not weezer
yeah not rivers either is he's a rhythm guitar he doesn't even need to fucking switch guitars
uh this guy says tell her she has too many shoes
yep women do be shopping for shoes women love shoes and then love shoes and they're probably
all the same color too the best part is like this is literally a thread about how men be shopping it
is it is I like this guy this guy is my favorite comment he goes a string reaper says it's probably an underhanded comment
on your playing she's probably got a problem with the plectrum you're using yeah like honestly like
yeah if it was a little crisper and you were you know that i think she would be
fine with you spending all of the fucking family money on guitars money it's probably because you suck at playing guitar sir yeah she's like she's like oh yeah
spend our retirement fund as long a fund as long as you can fucking hit the notes and as long as
you can fucking play the song correctly gibson maestro says a while back someone was able to
trick his wife by buying similar looking guitars uh Reply goes, oh, that's brilliant.
Why is that brilliant?
Why would you then, why would you, wouldn't the idea of having different guitars be that they would look different and be different?
Maybe the look doesn't matter.
Amber, I mean, you do a type of music where the look matters.
But on some things, I understand that.
But if you're buying so many guitars, you're just going to buy a bunch of them that all look the same.
I get the only thing I can think of is that you want like different pickup configurations in them.
It's like, OK, I want this to have a humbucker.
I want this to have single coils.
I want this to have P90s.
And those all do have like slightly different sounds.
Not enough that I would say it'd be worth buying a whole bunch of guitars that look exactly the same for them.
But that is one thing i can
think of do you have to trick your wife though i do not have to trick my wife
x372 says just make sure to get new gear when she's at work took a few months for her to realize
there were a couple more cases so you guys don't share finances am i awake or says in my situation
i'm allowed to own one for each day of the week there
may or may not be an eighth guitar hiding in the guest bedroom closet in a quote empty case so so
you're lying to your wife yeah so that's cool you're hiding stuff from your wife like some sort
of a addict yeah exactly yeah very cool very good behavior it sounds like uh things are going well that's
not the only running the cheating on your wife playbook so that you can buy more guitars
that's right that's so funny she's like cheating on me and it's like no he's just buying guitars
yeah he's at the guitar he's at guitar center she follows him like thinking he's gonna be going to some woman's house and he ends up going to guitar
center so anyone have issues with your spouse there's another question goes there was
just in general that that we found in these forums that for whatever reason there's a lot of marital issues let's talk through this is this is the bourbon guy this is the same thing the bourbon guys were doing he goes
there was a post earlier today about a guy who had his new guitar mailed to his office because
of his wife resulting in people telling similar stories this is quite personal so maybe not
everyone wants to share their experience but how many people on this subreddit do have a spouse that has a problem with you owning slash playing guitar?
Maybe also buying new equipment.
Quote, stop buying that stuff.
It's a waste of money.
Maybe also disliking the way you play.
Well, you suck at this.
Just stop making noise or even hates the music you make slash cover because of different taste of music.
I've never had such an experience i'm single at the moment
but i never had such an experience i've never felt the touch of a woman
i'm single at the moment but my ex loved when i played and she even started playing guitar herself
so we could play together we had the same taste of music she used to look up stuff i could practice
and she always gave feedback on how it sounded what she didn't like etc that was an incredible
just dunk he did on these guys he like set them up so you know all our wives all hate that we play
guitar and they hate that we spend money on it they don't like our music well not me because my wife kicks ass yeah well to be clear though this is his ex
so something something happened he is i don't know if he even mentions it but something broken
out what does he say at the end of it doesn't say anything he just says uh he he just says that
actually i really was that naive to think it's totally normal to have a supportive spouse who would try to help tolerate the passion that's the conclusion and this guy also it sounds to me like he's
just a lot of this as well as he's like he wishes he was still in that relationship oh yeah
oh he's still in love with that woman i mean that woman that woman in my opinion if that woman saw
this post she should be concerned.
I think that he might have like, you know, he might be obsessed or whatever.
Maybe a little.
And he goes, today I learned that's not always the case.
I wonder how many of you actually have issues and how do you cope with it in general?
Ruckus answers and says, my wife doesn't understand that there's a difference between quality and guitars.
They don't look any different.
So what makes that Strat copy different than a custom shop she owns several straighteners of different quality but
says my guitars all sound the same anyway wait straighteners hair i think it's hair straight
that's my yeah that's all i can think of that can't be comparable
i mean the price wise it's definitely not can't be right i mean it can't be that that's the only
thing you could pull out was that she has a couple different straight what that does 200 bucks
no not even a bunch of them yeah come on man this is right now he's really reaching here
you have a chance the guy goes uh you have a chance between a store brand straightener and
a really nice name brand straightener which one is better that's how oh i see so yeah just explain explain to her in terms
of something she can understand hair straightener yeah yeah just explain to her like this stuff is
so like massage is that yeah look babe when you're buying tampons is it like the store brand tampon
or is it like yeah when know when you're buying your
pots and pans for cooking you know what kind of a vacuum cleaner did you actually buy when we
got one you know exactly all right here's what the dyson or do you want like yeah we're gonna
read a big fight here and amber i think you'll like this because i think this guy is uh uh i think these
guys might be opposite from from you because this is a very non-punk guitar and this was the guitar
i wanted growing up i saw this the name of this one when you scrolled by earlier and i've been
waiting for it i i was googling the info that i needed to refresh myself i am ready for this one
this is this is for all the guitar heads out there
because this was the guitar I wanted
when I was playing,
but they're like three grand, you know?
He goes,
Am I crazy or is Paul Reed Smith overrated?
Okay, so today I walked into the Sam Ash.
I sit down.
I want to get a new edition of my guitar collection.
I decide, you know what, PRS?
I hear a lot of good things about them.
So I take a PRS SE single cut down. Then I play some licks of various genres, metal, blues, classic
rock, jazz. I did not like it at all. The quote tone was not nearly as good as what I have read
about or heard about in the shops. I ended up going home with an Ibanez Prestige. Listen,
I would have done the same thing.
I love it.
Get one now.
So PRS is overrated.
Did I get a defective guitar?
I played this out of a Sirius amp, H&K, brand new.
So I know it wasn't the amp. What is your insight?
It's spelled I-N-S-I-T-E.
And he also said defected guitar.
So this guy seems like he might be a bit of a dumb dummy he's flubber okay so chris the
paul reed smith guitar is handmade and they are very fucking expensive and oh yeah they're
considered right amber like the basically the best i i think a lot of people consider them the best
you can buy i think a lot of people argue against that too because of the price who plays them i find them a little tacky personally oh really but they sound great like
you can get a nice tone out of them and everything i find them to be uh they all have that like not
all of them but they all have a very like flamed maple real guitar guy type finish to them they got like birds on the inlays it's like it's some real like
my dad loves prs these are electric guitars right yes i'll show you one chris you'll recognize it
when you see it so okay yeah yeah yeah yeah they are ugly so ugly there's only there's there's the
prs uh starla which is the only one that i think looks
good because it looks like a gibson or something yeah so i could see playing one of those so he
actually this guy yeah yeah that one does that one does have a better look to it definitely
so this guy played the mass-produced version of the paul reed smith which is the se and that
costs like 600 bucks it's just one like it that costs like 600 bucks. It's just one,
like it's not in the prestige brands. It's just one for people who want a Paul Reed Smith.
Yeah. And that's common for these brands, like to have a high end. It's like Fender has Squire
and that's their cheaper one. Gibson has Epiphone and ESP has LTD and PRS has PRS SE apparently.
Well, the people in Ultimate Guitar Forum were not happy with this post.
It did not thrill them.
He goes, play a real PRS, not an SE, then revise your statement.
Revise your statement.
Sir.
How dare you?
Revise that statement.
HDAP 101 says Paul Reed Smith se equals okay medium budget guitar quite
nice not great but okay prs standard worth every penny i'm currently saving one over the gibson
fender and fernandez i was originally considering so yes you are crazy for making judgments of a
very respectable brand based on their se model so this guy this guy is dumb because he thought he was playing the
real deal shit but he was playing the the bums version right yes that was correct somebody sent
him different guitars that he could look at i and we wouldn't know that i mean a mirror electric
guitar with burden lays on wide thin neck a custom 24 there's pop 10 guitar the cardi hollow
body yeah and he goes uh the guy responds that this is suggestions for this guy that originally
started this thread and he's responding to these suggestions all of these are significantly
overpriced for thousands of dollars i don't think so to me prs will not become respected by me until
they become more reasonable with the prices.
Sure, they'll be made by hand and all that shit,
but come on, it's a guitar.
And for me and many other guitarists,
I have rent to pay.
To me, Schecter, Ibanez, and ESP are the top,
but that just may be because of my type of music.
That's interesting considering this guy was like,
oh, I've been played some blues
and jazz licks and then his top three are like all brands i would consider to be like heavy metal
brands yeah yeah yeah yeah all the ones he said are straight up like schecter was one i was gonna
buy they do like flying v's i think maybe i don't know they do like the the pointy he basically
wants to play all the most pointy guitars yeah he wants to
play jazz on pointy i would call those like the respectable spread of metal guitars uh as opposed
to like uh oh man someone's gonna kill me for this but like you're bc rich yeah because you're
like not respectable metal guitar uh neb g says uh less money equals less quality
could have i could not agree with him more on that and he goes if you want to shit guitar
spend less money on guitars that's and if i go get a guitar now we all know how i'm gonna pick
i'm gonna go in there i'm gonna walk up to the first salesman i see and say point me to the most
expensive guitar here what did you say you're gonna what no when i go into the store i don't fucking pick a guitar
i plectrum a guitar thank you very much yes otm80 says here's a fun fact that three thousand dollar
prs you considered overpriced will never lose its value your ibanez and schecters will drop like a
rock play what you come forward.
That's cool.
I'm not knocking you down.
Some deals are better than others,
but in the end you get what you pay for.
Everyone knows that the Schechter loses half its fucking value.
As soon as you drive it off the lot,
everybody knows that.
Well,
here's an interesting take on this though,
from Dirk gently.
We live in a country with a mostly capitalist economy,
meaning generally...
The rest of the sentence really goes off.
One second here.
I just got to get my pen out here.
This is interesting.
I'm Googling capitalism right now.
It seems to me as if he's correct.
This post is by a Mr. Karl Marx.
Oh, interesting. me as if he's correct this post is uh by a mr carl marx oh interesting it's very funny that it's a
guy's bringing up capitalism i love it we live in a country with a mostly capitalist economy
meaning generally speaking things are worth what people will pay for them guitars are commodities
like cars sometimes the exclusivity is part of the attraction there's a guy on this site who i
haven't seen in a while who has two guitars that are worth almost ten thousand dollars each not to
mention several other guitars worth thousands each just because you personally can't afford
something or don't want to pay that much for it doesn't mean it's overpriced uh this guy responds
metal militia says it may not be your type of music but that doesn't mean it's overrated you stupid asshole this is this is ultimate guitar all right relax under this
some people actually get these things they're called jobs these jobs bring a steady source
of income now considering the person said job isn't a dipshit uh and knows how to make money
how to save money how to make money,
how to save money,
how to save money within a few months, that person will be able to buy a $3,000 PRS,
which will over the years gain more and more value.
Well,
it's more value.
That's what they're saying.
If you buy a high end guitar and you keep it in good condition,
it'll gain value over time.
Yes.
Really?
That's cool.
Yeah.
Like a vintage instruments is like a totally like a
market so so how long how much time are we talking do you know what i mean like is it only like for
old older stuff or is it like something 10 years ago this guy takes 10 years like yeah 20 years
okay 10 10 you may maybe a little bit but definitely like 20 you'll start to see some
value in it that's cool uh and then here's here's our last response
from this guy goes how about you ponder upon this i have to work i have to pay rent and i don't live
in my mom's basement so i have a lot of shit to pay for okay that's a basement shout on my channel
anyas my prank channel whenever somebody mentions the mom's basement we have a special ding ding
ding it's called a basement shout i'm a guitarist talking
to guitarists in a civil manner if this is too much for you get off the internet please
and i'll play what i can afford not what my daddy buys for me
sorry we don't have the daddy's daddy's money mom's basement combo i know i've never heard
daddy i don't think i've heard daddy's money since. Cause you can't,
cause I think you're supposed to make fun of people for being poor too.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
So it's really hard to say daddy's money and make fun of it.
Last thing we're going to do here is anyone else think that John Mayer is a
severely overrated guitarist.
Do you guys think?
I don't know.
I don't, I don't know how, how well, how high he's rated.
Very. I guess he is considered to be good.
I think he's just pretty average as far as I can tell.
He's technically proficient,
but I wouldn't say you really hear it in his music.
Yeah, he's one of those guys that like...
Well, I think we'll get a little explanation
and go the guy goes i'm ping-ponging off the other gary clark jr overrated thread from another poster
today and i just thought i'd try to get another overrated thread going because i was having so
much fun on this other overrated thread screaming at each other me and me and the guys were having
so much fun screaming at each other and before any john mayer fans lob my head off i do think john is an artist and he's written
popular songs many love but as a technical hendrick hendricks ask future hall of fame
guitar genius oh he's getting in the rock and roll hall of fame i'll take that right now uh
some neo fights already make him out to be
just because he can improvise some simple blues melodies i have to facepalm myself that's just
my opinion i'd like to hear from others in the gallery on this topic so first off sir i think
you will find that you meant lop and not law okay i didn't know what lob was actually it's lop off my head like it's cut off
their head so he lob is to lob something up so he's just used the wrong word there well the first
reply is from blues noodler which i guess this guy probably likes john mayer yeah i think people
i think people in guitar forums like to whine about him because he's rich famous
fucks hollywood starlets and plays better guitar than they do oh shit yeah sorry i think you got
a problem because of all the babes he hooks up with a new babes guy yeah sorry he gets so many
freaking hot babes you're so jealous of them famous babes uh guy replies and says i think people want to suck john
mayer's dick like the warship and fucks hollywood starlets yeah well i mean let's be guys are all
sucking each other off on here so much sucking off in the guitar world the insinuation here is
very very disgusting too and i hope you guys will allow me to be disgusting for a moment do you guys mind i love it all okay so i will i think the insinuation here is that they you
would suck his dick and it would possibly still have some famous starlets pussy juice on it
did you say a double deuce a double doozy oh i thought you were saying
you were giving a grease oh no i didn't i should have gotten grease daddy do you know
do you know the grease man i didn't know the grease man oh you don't know you should check
him out he's a such a talented man uh an old radio an old radio dj who was uh fired for extreme racism in the 1990s twice i just assume that
when i hear something through brian like it's like oh have you ever heard of you know
jimmy fuck and it's like okay is he like a radio host that was banned for racism
basically all of my uh expertise is in guys that got fired for racism also no we haven't discussed we have a
alarming expertise in sex clubs now because of all the sex club tours we've watched where it's
like we just know everything about the the lifestyle and all of it that is true that's
an alarming thing though infinite ad says he's outrageously overrated and people who can't play
fawn over him to look like they know what they're talking about like everyone in these comments there it is final word well joe bonamassa did a video called
the heart that never waits um i watched this and listened to it it was not good that's joe
bonamassa ever heard of joe bonamassa chris i haven't this has a 1.7 million views though yeah
dads love this guy. This guy.
I have a Joe Bonamassa shirt that my dad got me.
I've never even listened to him.
So what was he like in a band before or.
He was like a former child blues prodigy.
Ah. And so he plays blues.
Yes.
Yeah. But.
He plays like Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Okay.
Blues rock.
Yeah. Dads love Stevie Ray Vaughan.
They do.
He plays the white guy blues.
Oh, yeah.
You would be on a
Goldwing motorcycle
and listening to this after
life is a highway. He's not
like a blues blues guy.
Dads love him. I just thought
I'd read a couple of his
replies to
the heart that never waits first guy goes amazing example of why joe is one of the top goats that
solo playing was just out of this world christopher says uh easy now he's a great guitar player
subpar singer not in the top goats easy now hey you don't want him in the top let's
calm down he's not top goat status yet he's a good player he's got the top goat status i think
uh he goes easy now yourself he's a genius first class he is beyond category so beyond category
and then the last guy goes don't forget about stevie ray faul
just in general to be clear nobody who is listening to joe
has even for a moment ever forgotten about stevie ray faul yeah well he's next on the
playlist right after yeah i i i think on guys plus we're we're gonna listen to some joe bonamassa and uh also
that that nolan video that we didn't get to because we're having too much fun goofing on
guitar players me and chris will goof on the nolan video on guys plus i'm sure um yeah that's that is
guitar guys oh there is more joe bonamassa, if you're up for a little bit more.
Okay, sure. Well, let's check a little bit more. I just wanted to mention as well, because this is Guitar Guys episode, the best guitar player I ever saw play live.
Maybe you guys is a guy by the name of Derek Trucks.
Yes, he's a big popular. I've never heard him. But they played in the Allman Brothers band for
like the reincarnation of it because he's a nephew of like the allman brothers drummer or something like that um i think he played with
clapton as well on tour and stuff but i i he was the only person i've seen live play where i was
like mesmerized by his guitar playing are you a fan of the allman brothers no i don't know i mean
i listened to this but i wasn't like a big fan. No, I got my younger brother is a guitar player and played in rock bands and stuff.
And so he got me into Derek Trucks.
Well, let's check into Joe Bonamassa.
Hey, drunken heart surgeon says, I don't think I've seen it around here too much, but I've
heard tell of many folks hating on Joe Bonamassa.
I've only recently become aware of his music.
And personally, it sounds like world-class blues to me
what exactly does he catch up for it's basically world-class blues
i'm not sure what else you would want
i don't think in real life ever i've heard somebody say world-class to describe a piece
of art or something like i've also never heard of the guy joe bonham
awesome oh you've loved it it's quite incredible to me he's great you've heard stevie ray vaughn
yeah he's like that very goaded very goaded goaded higher and that's the thing uh no employment 77 20
goes he wears shades and armani suits he hasn't really got true background for blues poor little rich boy blues he's right in line with today's gop i mean you kind of cooked him
there honestly let's turn it political let's get this argument political yes well hand sewn 77
777 says and this is going to be a new guy's insult, I think, that's going to come up.
Are bedroom guitarists always this jealous and hateful bunch?
Whoa, bedroom guitarists.
Yeah, why don't you play with your little guitar?
Play with yourself in your bedroom on your little guitar while the big boys get out there on stage.
Very cool insult.
He's got more experience in his little finger than
this whole thread will ever have and anybody you seen some of the fucking babes he gets
can't about it we get he'll never be one of the greats name one original guitar song from joe
that has the same effect as voodoo child pride and joy whole lot of love smoke on the water seven nation army my point is
that the guy doesn't have one recognizable riff lmao and his fan dads think he's the greatest ever
i don't think he plays riff based music does he he'll never get there 100 i do like fan dads
one fan like fan girls yeah that's actually really good it's really good and it's yeah pretty
appropriate here isn't it this next guy goes they are truly pathetic bunch in here judging one of
the greatest blues players of the last few generations uh here's another guy that does
not like him and he's going to explain because he's a dorky white boy who's probably never had
any real hardship in his life playing the blues,
the suits, the sunglasses, and goddamn if he doesn't have incredibly punchable face.
The multi-million dollar rigs, it's so unbearably ostentatious. He's incredibly talented, no doubt
about it, but his music is so laughably trite. His voice sounds like Kermit the Frog. He's more
of a circus act than a musician musician
if he plays in a band where he just did guitar solos and someone else wrote the riffs lyrics
etc it'd be amazing first reply is uh jealous and you are racist so okay
perfect perfect perfect
that's a good i think that's that's a good one to end there's just there's
another little fight here he goes uh hey suck on my 93 strat ultra kid and he goes uh this guy
replies and goes you probably have plenty of practice sucking on it why are they all about
sucking the guitar guys are all about like why don't you go suck we talked more about
sucking people off on here than we did the sex guys yeah it's outrageous how that's like their
first that why don't you suck his dick like that's their first thing they go to and then it's like
barely contained with these guys i know i well you know just two guys coming
over to practice playing yeah one gets in a fight with the other one he's like don't fucking suck
me off okay why don't you just why don't we just stop playing this damn guitar and just suck each
other for crying out loud that is guitar guys amber tell people where to find you uh you can find me at twitch.tv
