Once I was handed an acoustic with rusted strings and asked if I could play the solo to comfortably numb on it
blood sacrifices must be made at times
It would be a mercy killing
@@PrinceWesterburg MERCY KILLINGS
@@i-ate-bread NEXT THING YOU KNOW THEY'LL TAKE MY THOUGHTS AWAAAYYYY
"- And I took that personally"
#9 is spot on. thats why i dont even mention i play guitar anymore, people automatically assume youre a walking jukebox lol
Especially at a party or gathering, because then half the people are barking requests and the other half are looking at you like you're that asshole at the party with the guitar.
If handed a guitar at a party I just improvise to whats being played on the system, go outside the scale, throw in some diminished runs and a bit of tapping (really impresses non-musicians) then put the guitar down saying its nice but I'm so out of practice. Everyone will thank you and go quiet and not ask you to play again.
@@artrock101 its a lose/lose unless you are very arrogant and crave attention at all costs
@@PrinceWesterburg i've done this many times as well. i guess its a good way to practice outside your home lol
Literally no one has ever done that to me. Just do what I do and say, “Yeah I play music but I suck” and that’s that.
Honestly, the Led Zeppelin and sing-along thing happens way too often to inflict damage anymore, but that Gibson thing. I want to cry.
Old Les Paul's were really good. Company isn't what it used to be. Defintely could get a good price on it. But I'd want to keep it if it was my Grandpa's
This was my exact thoughts.
I remember when I was child in the 70's you could buy a 1960's Les Paul or an SG for $100 to $300.
(That was #11 btw)
@@aylbdrmadison1051 wow that's amazing value now I imagine.
Should have had a better grandpa
@@Madchris8828 he said it was a Gibson not Les Paul 🙄🙄🙄🙄😈🙄
"We let you join the band because you have a working car"
This totally belongs on this list.
True for Ian Stewart, co-founder of The Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger openly admits without Ian’s van and access to a phone to make bookings for the band, they wouldn’t have existed.
"oh yeah i know that, that's the song from tik-tok" is a devastating one to me
Burn them all!
that’s when you pack the guitar and gtfo
Oof.
my soul hurts from just reading that
it hurts
Fuck I used to work in a guitar store, and the Gibson thing happened like twice a year. We usually didn't tell them that they potentially lost out on thousands
You'd probably find they just wanted to look cool and bigger than you and had never even seen a Gibson.
How do you get a job in a music shop, any advice?
@@richardkarakozian3800 apply for a job and say you love music and are very passionate about it
@@colecutler1941 Ok, Thanks
@@richardkarakozian3800 I just walked in and said that I wanna work here. They took me to the boss, I had a simple interview, i had a month to try it, I got a very minimal payment, after that I signed the contract and I work there for 1,5 years now as a guitar repairs guy
I hate playing in front of people I don't know. They always ask if you can play a song like you're a Spotify playlist. "What do you mean you don't know babe I'm gonna leave you? It's the best song ever" or when they ask you to play a song that doesn't even have a guitar part in it. "Why can't you play sometimes I just go for it. I mean, you know what it sounds like right?"
People are unaccustomed to musicians. They only know how to play spotty lists. Instant, canned, and a million different finished songs.
They think its like singing, bc none of them have any experience with actual instruments.
@@carpediemarts705 and eat hot chip and lie
I feel like it's worse when you know half the songs they're requesting at some point, and found them easy just dont remember specifics. Like people dont get how you can "forget" an easy song but remember a challenging piece.
@@Etat7 it's because u dont get too involved bc their so easy
Clapping on 1 and 3 is unforgivable! Gets me every time.
it's actually a really ocd thing to get angry at but it gets me as well. still the guy who just claps absolutely randomly is the final boss
It gets me as well.
Why?
It's the absolute worst!!
Why though? Apart from being basic, it's completely fine, isn't it?
Me: *plays a difficult song that you can sing along to*
Everyone: I don’t really listen to old stuff, can you play something by (insert relevant artist here)
the cheeky girls 🙄.
Thing is even if you play a song by a relevant artist they gonna be like "oh but that song is like soo old it came out in 2018, play something newer 🙄"
Taylor Swift 😡😡😡
Maroon five
...Billie Eilish?
"close enough"
*Dies inside at first, then outside*
Damn, it sounds like a f****ng fork scraping a plate...
@@thewhitehawkz heard it again a year later and it just doesn't get easier.
It's worse than that.
The clapping. Every time i gig at a coffee shop it's that goddamn clapping
🤣🤣🤣
Make like the Beatles and tell them to shut up.
@@GameboyFanatic haha. I could see them shutting the clapping down.
Clapping is fine but it should be on an upbeat then it grooves. If audience claps on an accent beat they look and sound like children in a kindergarten
The first legit fucked me up.
My grandparents have given away beatles vinyls from the 70s, instruments like a vitnage charango made from an actual armadillo (of course it's forbidden now but back then it wasn't), a vintage accordion and god knows how many more, highly valuable stuff such as signed paintings from famous aritsts.
So that gibson gag really hits close to home lol
There isn't a big enough big OOF to give that.
Honestly that's super touching but also just irks me
@@johnlennon8826 Thanks, John.
@@Real_Boye Dude, I had never heard of a charango till today! Googled it right away. They're so rad!
currently dying
"Can you play any sing-alongs?" I'm the frontman of a fucking metal band, no of course not!?
For real
Surprise them with a hardcore metal version of a some really cringey song that everyone knows and what yourself rise to stardom as it becomes a hilarious moment and memory for everyone else that isn’t into metal…. Yet!
@@runninglyrics oh you mean like Children of Bodom's cover of Oops I Did it Again?
The Led Zeppelin line was an understated masterpiece of emotional destruction
The Zeppelin one is the one joke I didn't get :( any chance you could dumb it down for me?
@@coryman125 he said, "Led Zeppelin? Oh yeah I'm a huge fan of *_him"_* (emphasis mine)
My friend actually though Lez Zeppelin was one dude
@@_vixen_4504 Your friend is a bit slow, cause Led Zeppelin doesn't even sound like a persons name, on the other hand if he said that toward Lynyrd Skynyrd I would understand.
@@ThinWhiteAxe Ahh, thank you! Somehow I missed that, I thought it was just "huge fan of 'em".
The "c'mon it hasn't been touched I like 6 years" hit me hard. Idk how many times I've had people pull that on me and then got mad when I told them I can't play it because strings don't last like that and getting tetanus isn't on my to do list ever.
Yes
Genesis
Yeah, you would know all about emotional pain
In case you were having second thoughts Rudy, there is a delete button next to your comment and you can choose to use it if you like. That's totally up to you bro.
No
No, thanks.
"he's like the BEST guitarist I know!" *Plays generic 3 chord tune*
the pain is true. But when you are playing guitar for some years and you are
starting opening up to friends and playing guitar and they start asking if you can play wonderwall
Kill them all.
Shouldn’t be viewed as pain. Every guitarist should know some sing alongs bc they’re fun even if they’re simple. No one gives af besides other musicians if you’re an awesome shredder or whatever.
@@zg3342 dont know man have you seen someone shredd before you . Its something else hearing it and seein it
Thats why its called an 'axe'.
I may refer you to the gospel according to 'Im Sudas Suda' above.
@@zg3342 Heretic!
During a musical at my high school, at the grande finale, we're pumped and ready to perform. We rehearsed endless amounts of times and aimed towards perfection. When we started, it started out great! But once the beat started to pick up... the audience clapped on 1 AND 3. We all messed up but were able to quickly recover haha
My favorite Led Zeppelin song is We're not Gonna Take it. To be fair, every song on the High Voltage album is a killer. This is the sort of music you can expect from any artist with Epitaph Records.
This just internally murders anyone who likes decent music
@ Twisted Sister
@@gianniszacharopoulos5725 thanks
take that shit back or else
🐶🔫🔫
Also when people tell you that you are out of tune, when you clearly are not out of tune, but they say that you are just to feel like they are above you in some sense. Sorry, I am emotionally involved...
Some 7 year old kid told me i was out of tune, and i was
Feeling like i was gonna die
@@guitar_and_weed when you are it's ok, when you are not it's pain
Yeah that happened to me before
Had some high brow dude swear he had perfect pitch and he may have, but when you’re tuning to a tuner so the whole group can be on tune, that’s not the time to go on about perfect pitch and ruin any standard to being in tune with each other. Tuners by default aren’t 100% accurate, especially if strings need to be changed, or playing in fluctuating weather but it was annoying and frustrating to say the least. But everyone else bought it. 🤦🏽♂️ Wasn’t my crowd or group but at least I made my case and thankfully everyone agreed to use the tuner. 😑
@@runninglyrics i feel for u
There’s a couple places I play in TX and 1 in OK that have a sign on the center monitor that says “No Wagon Wheel”. One says “If you play Wagon Wheel it’ll be the last song you ever play here.”
I don't even know If I know that song at all 😂
@@Madchris8828 how do u not
@@mattwalsh6544 I don't either. Southern thing maybe????? Or maybe I have and I don't remember.
Where you play I'm from tx
@@Madchris8828 G, D, Em, C, G, D, C. Capo either on 2nd or 3rd. It’s a song that will literally melt your brain yet everyone asks for it along with Gin ‘n Juice and Hallelujah.
#11 when someone uses your guitar and put it on a sofa with keys touching it🥵
#12 when someone is just downright careless with your guitar
When they ask you what you want to be in the future and you say a guitarist/musician/singer but they say you'll never get money from it 🗿
I had that experience with my cousin... Man...
0:26 was inaccurate. the clapping was on time
was fully expecting it to go way out of time
I think it was cuz it wS on the one and the three right?
he's a musician, there's only so bad he can do
The claps were on the 1 and 3, and in 4/4 the 2 and 4 beats are usually accented. This is really annoying to performing musicians because people will be clapping on 2 and 4 while there are a few people clapping on 1 and 3 and completely throwing the musicians off. An example of this I can think of is Devin Townsend's performance of Deadhead at the Royal Albert Hall, skip to 4 minutes.
Honestly I didn't get it before reading this comment section. Because here in Russia ALL people on each concert clap on 1 and 3. Nah, only on 1 usually. It's so typical that I'm immune to it (tries not to cry)
"Can you play this one specific song I Like? Wait let me play it for you" *pulls out phone and plays it on the shitty phone speaker, speaks you to play it right away...
thanks for the compliment in #8!
The first one was so accurate, so my grandma was in a band in the late 60’s and the guitarist hade a 1958 Gibson Es 175 natural with humbuckers, the guy passed in the 80’s so the guitar just sad in the case til 2016 when the dudes wife ask me if I could check it out next time I was in town, 2 weeks later she called and said she took the guitar to a music store and the guy offered her $1200 for it so she sold it...
😖
The anger I got from this comment
Me: Wears a Jimi Hendrix shirt
Coworker: "Jimi Hendrix was white I thought?"
Me: (looks down, looks up) "No."
ok, this shit pissed me off more than anything in the video.
@@pauloraymundo1909 he was as dense as they come.
I'm a bassist mainly, but even I feel the pain of these
As a Bassist, you must be used to pain
You’re part of the musical family. Get in here bassists. (I suck at bass still majorly we need you people).
@@Emet_Baker I am often the laughing stock of my friends 🥲
@@Emet_Baker whats that supposed to mean?
@@Raydia As someone considering getting into bass... what?
3 probably annoys me the most. I don’t care when people wear band T shirts of bands they don’t know, but people acting like they’re fans really gets me.
Lol you're the "oh yeah? Name all 215 of their songs including the unreleased b-sides only available to the VIP tier of their fanclub" guy, aren't you?
@@fakename287 I don't think anyone really expects that kind of knowledge, but when someone says they love Metallica and they only know "Enter Sandman" and can't really stomach anything else by them, it's just kinda lame.
I submit all the kids wearing Misfits tee shirts who can't name any member of the band nor a single song of theirs.
"I'm more of a social outcast than a music fan."
@@fakename287 You know he was talking about the “Led Zeppelin? Oh yeah I’m a huge fan of him.” Right? Not the AC/DC one.
I kinda got over this a long time ago. I don't think it really matters honestly. I am indifferent whether someone knows of, likes, doesn't know, or dislikes a particular band. Some people may just find a band tee to be cool looking regardless of whether they are interested in the band or not. Just focus on who you like listening to and less on what others are doing 🤷🏼♀️
You omitted the classic, "Do you know 'Smoke On The Water'? The James Taylor version, I mean?"
And they mean Fire and Rain?? That's brutal
Not even a guitarist but I know the value of an antique that first one actually hurt to my core😂 The clapping one is hilarious because I’ve seen it happen so many times and never knew people didn’t like it, gonna start doing it to my friends who play guitar 🤣🤣
Plz don’t
After you play a song “that was cool, do you know the bass part?”
I totally did the, “Close enough” when I was setting up a Floyd rose last night. My buddy was like tf? Then of course I used the fine tuners to dial it in. He had never seen a Floyd before. He’s been playing for 20 years. Lol
Hahahahaha that’s hilarious
Never had or seen a Floyd rose, didn't know they had fine tuners lol
Just one question. How could you physically do number 6? I literally want to jump out of my skin when something like that happens...
What was the annoying thing about it? He was clapping on beat.
@@maxwilson7001 He clapped on 1 & 3
@@maxwilson7001 He should have been on 2 and 4
He shouldn’t have clapped at all
Yeah once #6 happened during one of my school assemblies and the music teacher literally stopped the performance just to spend 5 minutes teaching the school how to clap on 2 and 4
Me: *try’s to impress my parents with an emotional finger-style song I’ve been learning*
My parents: .....play sweet home Alabama.
After working my a$$ off learning all the chords and the progressions to make my own songs and be creative my mom really said "great honey, but can you learn how to play a song".
How to emotionally ruin a bassist:
-play seinfelt
-is that a four string guitar?
Oh my god that first one killed me. “Super old Gibson and we donated it” GAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
#8 hit me harder emotionally than my dad did physically.
I work in a primary school and honestly the worst thing about it is hearing a whole class clapping on 1 and 3
*clears throat
"Now that's a lotta damage!"
"He is hands down the best guitarist i know" lmaoo that one hurt me shiii 😂😂
Yeah, I love how you can sit and play the solo from Shelf in the Room, then people are like "what the fuck, play something good" it's my guitar, you asked me to play something.
The first one almost made me cry because of how angry it would make me
I'm only barely learning guitar and I can already relate to these.
haha always with the clapping :')
The last one reminds me of that episode of Big Bang Theory where Raj and Howard start a band, write a Filk song, only to be told by everyone, “play something we can dance to.”
something thats awkward is when your asked to play something but the song is mostly driven by percousion and/or more rythmic instruments with little playable melody so while you do play the song, the part you can actually play on your instrument is a repetive two note progression, like bro you gave me shit to work with, of course its not anything special.
When he said
🎸 🎸 👏 🎸 🎸 👏 🎸 🎸 👏
... I felt that
I was expecting them to put a pick in the sound hole of an acoustic guitar and I would have died like noooooooo
No.8 is the most annoying by far. It's like they want you compete with their friends or something
Chicks used to ask me if I could play trap songs and shit back in highschool 😂
Wow, i never thought people could be THAT dumb. F
Almost every trap song has a chord progression you can follow. Sure it'll be your take on the song and you may hate yourself after, but itll get you some attention maybe even a date. Still wouldn't recommend though lol
Having to go thru more than 5 of these in a 24hr period could really be lethal for a guitarist 😄 All of these are so spot on, well done
This is so accurate that it actually gave me emotional trauma flashbacks.
#1 *crying*
3 of these have happened to me but it wasn’t a Gibson it was a kramer.
Gramps was watching from heaven like🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
“Your guitar is ugly” is a killer
One thumbs down - Oh, you just know what sort of person they where! XD
I have never been more torn up in my life
#4 is "how to make sound engineer loose his mind in 2 seconds"
“wagonwheel” had me crying😂😂
I love Led Zeppelin he's easily one of the greatest rappers ever!!
“Close enough. I’m ready when you are.”
And
“You know my buddy Trevor?”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Here’s another one: give a guitarist a guitar to play for a show when he is asked to play on the spot and the let him know the guitar cost hundreds of thousands of dollars after the show. My dads boss did that to him. He handed the Santa Cruz guitar back and said he wouldn’t have even looked at it if he knew it cost more than his house.
Dude i love your shorts so much lol you dominate this space of RUclips guitarists in my opinion. Keep up the great work
this reminded me of the old college humor videos on youtube around a decade ago
That 1st one put me in the grave and the rest bounced me between purgatory and hell.
Number one kills me everyday. My dad sold his uncle's 12 string Gibson guitar (I'm not sure if it's an actual Gibson because I've never seen it, but still), thought it wouldn't be used/played anymore since it was left here in our country when his uncle went overseas. True pain.
That first one, omfg I was not ready for that first one and had a physically violent reaction lol
The clapping on the 1 and 3 killed me on the inside ugh 😂
The clapping one just doesn't hurt anymore, it happens so often you cant feel the pain anymore, its like being shot in the same exact spot over and over, it hurts the first few times, then the bullet just passes through the hole made by the others
The 1st one hurt me right in the ticker.

Ad at the end: become a guitarist
Me:
Parent: So job--
Me: *vanish*
“Close enough“ is nails on a chalk board for me. The “(Insert band name here) is a band?” people are the people I can’t get away from fast enough, but I usually have to work with them.
The clapping one, physically hurts
I found my great grandma's 1930s Hawaiian Stencil Serenader guitar just sitting in our shed. Couldn't be happier! It has a crack in the back, but it's worn from her fingers playing it, so it is displayed in my bedroom!
Nice
Dude the one with the hanging stand clip is so real lol.
“Close enough” had me audibly saying “Oh no!”
Man, I'm not even a guitarist and that first one stabbed me in the feels lol
When someone is like "do you know that guy who's the best guitarist I know" I have a sudden urge to guitar duel them
Forgot the dropping the pick in the acoustic
That always gets me
I hate my friends
The clapping along 😂😭😂
This hurts my soul more and more by the second words can’t describe how painful that was
Now I'm even more emotionally damaged
The clapping one killed me
That someone clapping while I'm playing a guitar is the most annoying thing ever
“Play snow, hey oh”
That first one hurt bro. It’s tragic.
when you cant even get past the 1st one without dying inside
The clapping on 1 and 3 joke is so underrated.
wagon wheel was my first introduction to chords in guitar class. i’ve lived a painful life.
Wagon Wheel is the oldest, dirtiest, naughtiest song I’ve ever had to play.
The last one fucking killed me
