The "monkey grip" is a gimmick and nothing more.

When Vai was on stage he used to sling the guitar around his neck and stuff like that. It was part of the performance like the fan that blows his hair back is now.
Me, I never hold the guitar by the monkey grip. I used to tell people who gave me poo poo about it that I hung my cock through it. But I had a JEM and they didn't, so who's to compare?

No, I handle those JEM instruments the same way I carry all my guitars. As far as I am concerned the monkey grip isn't there; because I never touch it, except when polishing the instrument.

I think a lot of Vai-haters don't get that he was most famous during a time when on-stage antics meant more than playing. That trend I think has reversed, but Ibanez (especially Ibanez in Japan) has become a VERY respected brand since 1988.

But to answer your question honestly, I sometimes tell some idiots that I gently caress the monkey grip.

You post like a jack-off, you play guitar like a jack-off, and your sole redeeming quality is the adorable look of confusion you get when no one in the room want to high five you when you cum.

Congratulations?

I'm listening to my first album as I type this. I only played guitar on one track on this one, because it was easier to drink during shows if I was just singing. I could post it with a few clicks, but I won't. I won't because you want me to.

How hard are you right now?

Aww.. I'm flaccid.
Do you have a second or third or nth album to teach me a lesson about playing the guitar? Because I would learn from that.

What kind of narcissist are you, listening to yourself as you post?

Jesus, you loving monster.

I like how you played guitar because you were drunk. You must be a real scary gunslinger if your best work, which you won't share, is when you were wasted.

Goddamn, Frankenstyle, I owe you a huge apology. Or I don't.

multiscales are one of those things where you're guaranteed the person using it won't be making any music worth hearing


e: i'm sure i bitched about it before but why do all these super-expensive new custom shop builders always use really doofy headstocks




both of those cost at least a couple thousand dollars and they look like some cheap offbrand chinese bullshit. actually that blue one is like 7 grand

at least ran gets it right and goes whole hog

I don't play keys. He had a pair of keyboards and a MOOG pedal. One was a Roland SY-22 I think, and the other was a gently caress if I know, a DY-something. He now has like two MIDI controllers and a variety of keyboards on cards that he uses in his cover bands now. I know very little about it.
But I love the way my Ibanez 770DX sounds through my stereo Peavey 50-watt combos on that tune, and I think his bass sounds awesome, and the drummer's kit sounds pretty good.

...you, complaining about the chorus on the intro hurts me so much. Really.

No, actually, go gently caress yourelf. It was a great showcase tune for 1995.

Oh, that's this ugly one:


Oh look generic 80's-90's Ibanez superstrat #9823690

Gotta love the matched fret markers and selector switch

Also I've mentioned this before but wipe the Cheeto dust off your hands before you play and clean your fretboard you disgusting piece of poo poo, it looks like you could scrape that poo poo off with a fingernail

No wait tell us more about polishing the dickhole in your gross green guitar

If I could get my hands on a surfboard for free I would totally do this. Carving is too much effort for no pay-off though so I'd probably just glue one of these on it;

If there is one thing I associate with butts, it's wine glasses.

Edit: Should have made an electro-acoustic and put the jackk socked in the rear end. This guitar is a wasted opportunity and that saddens me :(
