what is the dumbest thing a guitarist has told you about guitars?

[slashfan91]

sorry if this has been done before someone can delete it

what is the dumbest thing another guitarist has told you about guitar equipment or anything relating to guitar?

mine would have to be "dude my line 6 spider is just as good as a marshall"

[ledtom]

Someone tried telling me that my line 6 spider wasn't just as good as a marshall.

[Vezinapotomis]

this one kid told me that his pickups had "built in" distortion. I know that exists in some cases, i.e. those effect knobs you can have installed and stuff, but his bronze warlock most definitely did not.

[Frightcrawler]

if you put a magnet next to your pickups, your guitar will explode! :eek:

[shiggity]

A SCAM CASH employee told me there was no such thing as a "NUT"

[speddyfeddy1234]

Haha his amp probably sucks

It starts breaking up at "1"

[Enigmur]

That the fine tuning pegs on a Floyd Rose was to adjust the action.

Even when I found out what they were for he was still intent.

[Etingi]

All guitars have at least 27 frets.

He's not usually that stupid, but he insisted on that for some reason...

And this has been done before, but we'll probably get different responses than last time so it's cool anyway.

[Robot_Boy]

That the fine tuning pegs on a Floyd Rose was to adjust the action.

Even when I found out what they were for he was still intent.

wow, my brother said exactlt the same thing when i got my first floyd. and he was more experienced than me. and he still said it was for the action even after i showed him it wasnt :rolleye:

[Stray Dog]

I like hearing time and time again that "My amp is really good, its a Marshall." This is beginners with little 10 watt solid state amps, they immediately think if an amp says Marshall on it is the best money can buy. This comes from bass players too. Im fed up with it!

A guitarist friend who aint too bad (hes beyond the beginner stage) said to me "Your'e one of those people who uses lots of reverb and boosts the mids aren't you. It only sounds good if you scoop the mids." He also says SS is better than valve because "valve amps take half an hour to start up before you can play them".

[socialmisfit]

this kid i work with, i had just found out he plays guitar, so we were talking about gear and he told me about this leapard print flying V he wants to buy and how good it sounds so i asked him "is it an alder body? mohagany body?" and he was like... "dude all guitars are just made from plywood." and he was serious.

i thought that was pretty off the wall.

[Experience Me]

I was talking to my roomate about my Strat, and he called the tremelo a 'vintage apreggo.' (I think he was trying to say arpeggio, but even so). AND he's a guitarist.

[wimj]

I'm winding up my friend's with all these ;) Anyway the only one I've got is my friend told me that my guitars got 'too many skinny strings'... yep turns out he was a bassist:)

[BMG_SKULK]

What I used to tell myself out of self-doubt.

I would figure out something by ear...say..something by Jake E Lee...or Randy Rhoads...

Usually a rythym or section of a solo...lick...whatever you want to call it.

It sounded exactly like it...but...I would tell myself...because of all the media, and because I usually had no amplifier...so it sounded right note wise,
but wasn't as powerful sounding...

"These guys are gods...no way are you able to do what they do..."

Then I'd pick up a Guitar magazine...and look at TAB for the song.

BS if I didn't have it nailed...and some of the stuff I would never even try was so easy...I gained a different perspective on things.

[Nameless]

You can have like, 10 tube watts and it will be like 200 SS

[iam2phat]

Yeah, I was the one that made this kind of thread earlier but it died pretty quickly. And some line 6's are better than marshalls. I'm pretty sure any line 6 amp would be better than the mg.

anyways...this is the dumbest thing.. well actaully I said it "I'm going to buy a slide".

[Salty]

"im going to hook up 3 single coils to my ovation electric acoustic guitar. and it will sound just like a strat!"

[Richie Sambora]

you cant do a pinched harmonics without an effect.

and bends are for noobs.

both from the same guy, still love him though.




wait.....im not gay!!

[AMusicalViking]

"You're not going to be playing anything you'll need 30 watts of (SS) power for in that band of yours!"

[Stray Dog]

anyways...this is the dumbest thing.. well actaully I said it "I'm going to buy a slide".

Thats not dumb, thats perfectly reasonable. I bought a slide last week. :confuse:

[freya181]

let's see...all the ******** things people have told me...

single coils sound good for heavy distortion.

you need a Warlock to play metal.

you need a 75w amp or higher to play metal.

you need tabs to play.

you can't play a song in Drop D if the tab says Standard.

you can't learn a song without the tab.

the tabs are right.

the strings are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

a power chord played in drop D isn't a real power chord.

being loud means you're heavy.

being soft means your pop.

your music is meaningless if it is not Christian.

if you're metal, you're goth or Satanic.

or psychotic.

and last but not least...you HAVE to play hardcore.

guitarists suck so bad. what a bunch of losers. *sigh*

[THUNDERGUTS]

electric guitars are made of plastic

[Vash03]

the owner of the local music store says hes never changed pickups in his life, ever cause he was too afraid to mess up the guitar. i dunno if this counts, but i was like "eh?"

[bigred67385]

When I first started playing guitar my friend had a Squire Strat and I had just gotten an Epiphone SG. He went on to tell me that my guitar was a rhythm guitar because there were three pegheads on each side of the headstock instead of all six on one side like his Squire.

[iam2phat]

Thats not dumb, thats perfectly reasonable. I bought a slide last week. :confuse:

It's because I have an ibanez. I think there's an unwritten law that you can play slide on an ibanez rg. Just saying...

[Yata]

single coils sound good for heavy distortion.


I play really HEAVY distortion on my strat with it's single coils all the time, the output is less than my duncan buckers but it still sounds good, I've even seen yngwie using high gain amp on his guitar with single coils (stock ones, not his normal stacked buckers)

[freya181]

maybe it's good enough for you but for me it's a horrid sound to have heavy distortion come from a single coil. i've tried it with maybe 3 or 4 single coil pickup guitars. horrid.

[deathmedic]

'you can only play good on an ibanez'
and
"isn't playing 'stairway to heaven' tacky?"

[strat]

"This is an electric guitar right?"
"I can play James Blunt"

[schneefux]

"guitars are sexy"

guitars sexy? come on! guitars have no boobs, no long legs, no hair that can float in the wind, no full lips, no deep eyes, no pretty face.......

man, time to invent such a guitar, isn´t it ?

guitars with girls playing them are sexy, but thats another thing ^^


oh and: "you can kill more people using a warlock than using a strat" <<< could be true...but....well....forget it

[guitarnoob_555]

"My $300 dollar Schecter is just as good as a Gibson Les Paul but costs way less"

haha, i alomost couldnt keep a straight face when this guy told me that, this kid plays an Omen 6

[wackakapow]

A billion times in high school while trying to organize bands:

Me: "So I heard you play guitar."
Some hoser: "You bet man, hell yah"
Me: "What kind of music do you play?"
SH: "Metallica."
Me: "Anything else?"
SH: (Looks confused and says nothing)

I am still convinced the $299 cort I bought is on par with my bassist's LP... that seems ******ed, but so far is true.

[ledtom]

LOL Those hosers.

[binks91]

my high e string was missing from my acoustic and my friend who plays told me i was missing a high b string

[Audiocide]

Inside every electric guitar, there is a small chamber full of air with a mic. the pickups just control the string vibrations and make them sound metallic.

A bass guitar needs different instrument cables than an electric, and I had picked up a bass cable.

You can't remove the frets.

A capo is used to hold the bridge up. (Actually, now I use my capo under my Jackson's FR to keep it in level position while restringing.)

Using acoustic strings makes your guitar sound acoustic, etc.

All jazz guitarists buy the Dunlop 3mm picks.

Distortion is when your guitar runs too hot, but it'll never blow up or anything because the pickups help cool it off.

That's about all I can think of. When I started out, many "oh-I-once-played-guitar" types approached me.

--mic

[Sebber]

The dumbest thing another guitarist told me: if you detune half a step you're going to damage your guitars. The chap who told me this really should have known better than to come out with that kind of crap. He said it in front of the whole band as well, and after he'd gone they all started rattling on about it (at the time we detuned half a step), and I had to thoroughly disabuse them of the fatuous notion!

[stevieboy378]

I once had some kid ask me where the speaker was on my electric guitar . . .

Oh, and a kid at school used to think that an electric guitar had to be plugged directly into the mains . . .

[freya181]

kid: "wanna buy my 60w amp?"
me: "is it tube?"
kid: "no, but it's great for that UnderOath kinda sound!!!"

[zeppelinmad]

my dad insists that different kinds of woods make no difference to a guitar's sound. :P

[daniel2001]

"No the strings don't need changing " (response I made about a comment regarding the state of the strings on my friends guitar).

"***? Why aren't they using distortion"

The worst requires a story.

I went to a gig in London once, the band was billed as one of the top metal bands in London so I thought "Excellent".

Went along, and the place is full of emo's, and the band is an emo band. They announce that they will do requests.....

Me: Can you play Enter Sandman?
Band: Who's that by?
Me: Metallica.
Band: Metallica, who are they?
Me: Ok, can you play some Slayer? Maybe Raining Blood?
Band: No never heard of them.
Me: Ok, just play some Black Sabbath please
Band: Who? Look mate, we only play real music.

At this point, I lost my temper, swore at the band and called them a bunch of wuss's, then an audience member (stick insect of an eyeliner wearing emo) tried to start a fight with me (I pushed him away). I then left, and got a cab to Brick Lane for a bagel.

I should also add that the "banter" I had with the band was with they're guitarist/singer.

Oh, and they couldn't even play My Chemical Romance right.

[Semi-Hollowbody]

My favorite wasnt so much a stupid thing as it was a line of b.s. this 10 year old fed his father in Guitar Center (I over heard waiting for my amp) I found it cute and hilarious

This ten year old had a dean flying v with floyd rose (Dime bag something or other) in one hand and a Gibby Les paul in the other and was explaining why HE HAD to have both because he couldnt play rock with the dean and couldnt play metal with the LP...then he started catagorizing guitars "strats are for blues...telecasters are for country...Les Pauls are for classic rock..." Then he also mentioned that his marshall at home would work for the LP but he needed a Mesa Boogie for the dean...

his dad walked away (probably to kill himself) and I asked the kid if his dad was buying it...he told me to shut the hell up (while laughing) and that he REALLY wanted both guitars...

made my day!

[ProfessorRiffs]

There was a guy back in the high school days that was trying to be cool saying he could play anything on the guitar. So I went to his house one day and we were talkin about some ZZ Top song. I said "well play it, man" and he said...

"I can't, I don't have the right pick for that song".

My friends and I who actually do play guitar died laughing. We never saw that guy around much after that.

[Semi-Hollowbody]

i forgot the morons I played with in my first band who insisted that my puny 65 watts wasnt enough and if I was gonna gig I had to look at a 100 watt full stack...when we practiced they graciously turned down for me...I told them they were idiots but they couldnt hear me!

[shredding]

LOL> I used to use those as excuses.

[amplifiedsoul]

I went to guitar center inquiring about an attenuator. The salesman tole me that attenuators damage the amp. He told me to run my JCM 900 head to a cab with one small speaker and crank the volume to get that nice tube breakup at a low volume. Insisting that is the best method for playing at high volumes! :confuse:

[RHJohnson]

A guy was trying to tell me that scales and theory is general was useless. I told him any solo he will ever hear on a record is based on one scale or anouther. He said, "O yea, what about 'Wake Me Up When September Ends?" Conversation ended there.

[Les_Is_More]

bob marley is the GREATEST guitarist of all time.

[bob123132]

The ONE thing that just ticks me off is
"if you listen to metal it measns youre goth or satanic"

[Semi-Hollowbody]

When guitarists are slammed for being too techmical or too simple rather then based on the quality of their music.

I have done this (usually I bah the more technical ones)

[1ZeroReapeR1]

In real life situations.
Mechial Anglo Batio is the best guitarist. He can sweep.

Not Reallife Situations.
*if someone can't compare to Jimi Hendrix* Yeah thay are terrible at guitar, can't play music, etc..

[gornitzkarules]

"if you grow your fretting hand fingernails you have a better grip of strings"

that's something someone told me at high school.

[brihead301]

Someone once told me I was a nerd for playing guitar too much. That was pretty stupid.

[Pokey]

It doesnt matter where you put each string on the guitar just make sure when you tune it you tune it to the proper key.

[wisebeyondyears]

I once had a guy at guitar center tell me that pulling up on a floyd is bad. :rolleye:

[Boristhespider]

I once had a guy at guitar center tell me that pulling up on a floyd is bad. :rolleye:
I think that's because they get too many first-time buyers trying to do Dragonforce-style whammy tricks.

[KcMsterpce]

A friend told me that it was impossible to bend a G string far enough to snap.

Then, that night, I proved he was wrong, using his girlfriend as the guinea pig. Oh, snap!

[Bballdude]

this fat nerdy kid was like "How is sitting in your room doing this *badly immitates playing guitar* is fun..I mean with video games everything is different and its fun...and whats the point of getting a newer guitar...its not broken...so theres no point..its like if i got a new TV just because it sounds better"


to this day i make sure to annoy the hell outta this kid by like screaming "HOW CAN YOU NOT LISTEN TO MUSIC" yes he told me he thinks music is a waste of time..and money..and that he'd rather spend money on laptop upgrades...

[wattage]

Some guy at GC said that "you should never, ever put a Floyd Rose in a strat or else you will sound like crap." Has anyone ever heard of Van Halen??

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[Semi-Hollowbody]

My wife's girlfriends have said to me...and this completely infuriates me to the point of homicide...

"Semi, you are far to sexy, handsome, and manly to ALSO have mad guitar skilz...its not fair...now take me..."
How immature!!!

Actually they have said to her and it gets back to me "What does he need another guitar for...doesnt he have enough already..."

[Arc]

^ I know EXACLTY what you mean...but then again...Have you seen the video where Paul Gilbert gives a tour round his house? Especially his 'Guitar Room'.

[Shadue]

"guitars are sexy"

guitars sexy? come on! guitars have no boobs, no long legs, no hair that can float in the wind, no full lips, no deep eyes, no pretty face.......

I dunno... I think guitars are sexy...

those soft curves... voluptuous pups, with those looooong never ending....

*snaps out of it*

errr... ya... your right... you ah... have to be pretty pathetic to think guitars are sexy man.

[Invaderzim]

I was playing my old hollowbody at school, and some random guy came up and said "Wow, nice guitar, I'm saving up for one like that, a green one, it's a G-stretch right?" "You mean Gretsch?" "Yeah, that"

[Screw]

Funniest thing i heard..
A friend was teaching guitar. Some people got it, some don't. After a month or 2 (7 weeks i think) he asked his student one day in fustration"what note comes after g?"


















H was his reply. Not to often a teacher cancels your lessons.

[csloce23]

I'm talking to a guy in gym with one of my guitar buddies.

GG: So what kind of guitars do you like to best?
GB: Gibsons.
Me: Yeah, Gibsons are the best.
GG: Well, Gibsons are alright for rock, but if you want to play metal, you need to either get an Ibanez or a Samick.

I was so close to laughing, but the guy would've killed me.

[iam2phat]

A lot of people say this to me "Wow, you're so good! I never knew a human could move their fingers so quickly...". They just don't realize how crappy I am :D

[unclenuts]

I've already seen this mentioned, but sometimes when I talk to my Dad I'll say, "Yeah, I just got this new guitar..."

Thereafter he replies,

"Don't you already have one...?".

?

[flamin-gitaur]

I was once told by a wise man that the type of wood doesn't affect the tone of an electric guitar, only the pick ups do. What a bunch of BS.

[unclenuts]

I was once told by a wise man that the type of wood doesn't affect the tone of an electric guitar, only the pick ups do. What a bunch of BS.

Well if they're EMG's.... :rolleye:

[Razzy]

I was once told by a wise man that the type of wood doesn't affect the tone of an electric guitar, only the pick ups do. What a bunch of BS.

My English teacher plays guitar, and he INSISTS on the same thing! (He plays acoustic.) I've gotten into total arguments with him over it too.

[KcMsterpce]

My neighbors mentioned last week that they heard me playing. They thought it was good, but the younger one said "I just wish you'd play some CREED."

I almost jumped through the window and strangled her.

Is that applicable to this thread?

[flamin-gitaur]

Well if they're EMG's.... :rolleye:


I've had the same EMG 81 pickup in diffrent guitars, and I get completely different tones from each one. I installed the 81 in my Ovation ultra hardbody and I love the tone I get from it, so I installed an 81 in another one of my electrics (BC Rich virgin) which I've sold since then, but the tone I got out of that thing was not even close to the same that I get on my Ovation. The way I look at it, the resonation of the string thru the wood is going to be picked up by the pup, and all wood resonates differently, other wise, who would care what type of wood a guitar is made from.

[Carbohydrates]

In response to a new ($1800) Taylor acoustic:
waste of money imo.. you could get an acoustic at a garage sale for 3$ to sounds just like that prob.

[JackMan]

I wasn't able to read all of these so if I'm repeating someone, sorry.

Someone at school told my son if he used a metal pick he'd be electrocuted. :)

[ScottRiley]

Guitar store employee talking to someone who'd just bought a new (latest model) Gibson SG.

"That's a guitar for life man, seriously, £1,000...it'll be worth at least £6,000 - £8,000 in ten years...." - yeah, cause I see 1997 Gibsons going for £8,000 all the time.

"Damn, there's no guitars in here I can show off on..."
"What....you play to show off?"
"Yeah....what the hell do you think I practise 5 hours a day for??"
The guy who said that can shred pretty well, he's a one-trick pony shred-monkey, but technically I suppose he's a 'good' guitarist, awful musician, but good guitarist (and yes, there's a LARGE difference)...Well I nearly attacked him with the £2,000 Taylor he was playing on. Not only did he say that, there was a WALL of freaking £3,000 PRSs behind him and he was FACING another wall of American Strats and Teles...

[BrianMcG]

I was told once that if you play by yourself too much that you will grow hair on your palms and you will go blind.


I'm not sure if that had anything to do with the guitar.

[SublimeFan44]

Well this isn't really anything dumb that a guitarist said, but how he acted so dumb...

Back in 8th grade, there was this kid who everyone had known had been playing for two years, but he had never really talked about it until the beggining of 8 grade. He would talk EVERY day about these new "hard" songs he was learning as if he was the only guitar player that could play them. So, one day he actually brings in his guitar (electric) and a small amp. He then has the actual nerve to ANNOUNCE to a bunch of people (including me) that he would be playing a little after school if anyone wanted to come see. About a third (40 people) and me show up in the room where he was going to plug in. So he sets up, gets ready, and plays NOTHING but PARTS of three Nirvana and Metallica songs and the strumming part of stairway. Thing is, I wouldn't have cared had he not practically made a public service announcement about his littl performance. He plays the MOST cliche things after hes been playing for 2 years AND says hes going to basically show off to anyone that wants to watch after school.

See, hes one of those players that went to Paul Green's school of rock, and thought/thinks that it is the "real deal". Seriously, these kids who sign up for that get basically custom guitars, and amps (of their choice), to play Nirvana and (poorly) covered metal songs on. He would brag about that to. He said that no guitarist will ever be as good as Kirk Hammet. He also, finally finds out about Cream (the band) and goes on about them to everyone like hes the only one whos known of them (despite me and my friends knowing about them for 3 years prior).

You all know guitarists like this. But for me personally he was the biggest a-hole of a player that I've ever met in my life. Sorry for the long post.

Punch him..i know alot those..they know have broken noses :)

[Salty]

this thread is gold. and just so you know, ive read EVERY single post and laughed at almost all of them

ok so for me...hmmm "les pauls have better tone because they have an arch top."

"if you plug your guitar into the headphone jack of your amp and play, you have to replace the tubes immediately."

"medium picks are for blues...hard picks are for metal"

"you cant play blues on a les paul. its for ROCK!!"

"that acoustic looks nice, but i would never buy an acoustic because its REAAALLLLLY hard to get distortion" i swear to god some kid told me that. i almost cried

I don't have a stupid remark, but i do have a funny story:

I used to bring my guitar every now and again to school back in 8th grade and i had this little pick pouch thing that i carried around with it. Well one day this one kid took it and was dangling it in front of my face saying i suck and asking if i wanted it back. I just kept playing for a bit then finally grabbed on to his nipple and twisted till his knees were on the ground, head down, and pick pouch in one hand extended to me while the other attended to his bruised nipple. He tried to get on my nerves a lot but that pretty much stopped it. Man it felt good.

[TheBreeze]

wow with all the emo idiots in our school who think they can play guitar, i could go on for days

today i was told by some kid
"my band is a drop c band"

i've also been told
"you may be better, but you take lessons and i dont, so that makes me better"

funniest thing ive heard come out of, every kid in my schools mouth is
"i'm a great guitarist!"

sure you are little guy, sure you are.....

That's the funniest thing I've read all day, and I'm reading Catch 22 right now. Good job.

Once this kid who knew more about guitar than me, confused the terms "nut" and "bridge" like reversed them. He told me his guitar had a floating nut. I believed him, cause I knew nothing. I went to guitar center and asked what a floating nut was. They laughed at me.

I heard some pretty messed up stuff about music back in the day too. A kid I knew told me Green Day had better guitar playing than Aerosmith. This same kid told me black guys couldn't play guitar. I nearly vomitted on him I was laughing so hard.

I had floating nuts once after a trip to Thailand. A quick visit to the free clinic cleared me right up. :D
