What I don't understand is some of these guys in their 40s and 50s still not realizing "hey i'm not to good at this lead business maybe I should become a solid rhythm guitarist"

Every video has this comment at least 3 times by him quote:Vince Palamara is a leading civilian authority on the United States Secret Service, especially with regards to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Palamara's work has appeared in over 40 books by other authors, in print articles, and internet articles, YouTube, newspapers, radio, at national conferences, and The History Channel

Ah yes, the sport of guitar playing. I give it a 6.5, good speed, technique is decent, but there are many errors throughout. I wonder if he'd be good at music though.

Listening to Heavy Rocks I can't imagine that the guy shouting "YEAH" was playing anything other than a goofy doubleneck. drunk asian neighbor posted:Wata can play whatever she wants though Also this.

GreatGreen posted:Christ look how huge that Les Paul looks next to her. Is she like three feet tall? She's pretty short (5'4"ish maybe?) but also looks like she weighs about 60 pounds, so yeah, she's usually dwarfed by her guitar. It's also very weird to watch - she plays really tentatively, like she doesn't know what she's really doing, but man they're good also I'm pretty sure the one responsible for all the goofy shouts and stuff is the drummer

I can appreciate a well-crafted instrument, but that's just masturbation. It's one of the things I hate about guitars in general. You have guys playing just to jerk themselves off on instruments where the luthier built it just to jerk themselves off. Everything about guitar is just absolutely covered in cum and I hate it. Makes me wish I had taken up the cello or something.

Romeo Rose is the perfect example of a guitarist that puts his image and stage show above his actual talent. "I got my crushed velvet pants back from the cleaners and ironed my pirate shirt. I'm ready to rock! What? Uhhh, how do you play an F sharp minor?"

I'm okay with weird but there's weird and there's ego-stroking. Like that Andrew WK pizza guitar is hilarious and awesome because it's just goofy and funny and exactly Andrew WK. If it was like some dumbass photorealistic pizza with a custom floyd rose and a pepperoni dragon headstock id be all wtf, but it's not. Also thanks dan for turning me on to boris this poo poo is tight.

One of the funnier things about some of these abominations is the fact that they need custom cases if you intend to play them anywhere. Nobody sits and home relaxed on the couch while playing a pointy dragon guitar with a 2 foot wingspan. It's impossible.

Yyyeah, yeah great, tell that to this man: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLtDY1VSq40 I saw him in concert, right in front of the stage, those soundholes pointed right at my face about three feet away, and let me tell you, you don't know what you're talking about. The soundholes project an additional "echo" of the PA sound and it sounds great depending on the kind of music being played. Live country-western and rockabilly sounds loving great with a Gretsch hollow body, but I guess it'd sound pretty lovely if you're just jacking off on guitar alone in your bedroom.

Speaking as someone who makes guitars and other stringed instruments (I don't like 'luthier', too pretentious), I would bet that most of those stupid 'RARR DRAGONS SKULLZ AND LIGHTNING!!!' guitars were made on commission. As goofy as they look it takes a hell of a lot of time to do something intricate and trust me, luthiery(???) is not a good way to make money. You don't want to spend 20/30+ hours making something hideous without a guaranteed pay-out at the end. Also, the kind of people who want something OTT like that are usually overly-entitled idiots and they WILL try to shaft you on payment. Personally, I prefer more organic, rounded shapes with a natural finish as they are more comfortable to play, nicer to make and sell better. Saying that... quote:luthiers totally have terrible taste and no style.  I made this, you may have a point. Edit: Holy poo poo that's the 3rd time I've posted this. Enough is enough.
