One of my old friends was the opposite of #2. He heard some dude playing the solo to Pearl Jam's 'Alive'. Dude was playing it perfectly, sounded just like the record. Well, my buddy was convinced that the guy was playing it wrong and that he could do it better. So he starts just butchering the solo, and to make matters worse, my friend starts leaning his shoulder in and making an 'I'm better than you' face. I didn't want to be his friend anymore.

I also see you could spin off three new videos - guitar etiquette at the jam/practice session; guitar etiquette at the guitar store; and guitar etiquette at the performance/gig. I was lucky to be in school band at junior and high school. You learn the basis -- no unnecessary noise, start together, stop together, know the whole song (i.e. practice before play with the group), stay in tune, play the right volume (ppp means really soft and fff means crank it to eleven), don't be late, don't noddle and chat in between songs, don't pass notes, and don't react when one the drummers hits you with a spitball...you'll only look like a bigger dork than you already do holding that clarinet.

I'm lucky to have started playing in the 90's. I had a DOD distortion pedal and a BOSS EQ. When it came to starting to want other effects, I just started going with multi effects units. I have 5 guitars with floating trems so they are all setup with different tunings so I can swap them out as needed or wanted. My others are stop tail and strat style so they stay mostly at standard, but they can be tuned on the fly fairly easily if needed. I still don't usually swap much. When playing alone, if I pick up a guitar with a certain tuning, I just play that guitar for a while. Sometimes just playing in a tuning that is not the tuning you typically play in can really open up the creative flood gates. I've been playing for 30 years and have only ever sold 1 guitar, I've given about 4 away over the decades, and I've lost a couple to damage during moving/traveling. I currently have 10 electrics, 2 acoustics, an electric bass, and a digital drum kit, and a few Marshal and Fender amps. That way if people are over and we want to spontaneously jam, I have everything we need. Pick a weapon off the wall, wonder down to the dungeon where the drums are set up, 5-10 minutes of setup and tune up, and it's jam time. I've got a few other musical related items laying around like keyboards and an Otamatone, but I don't use them much. We all were already musicians to one degree or another and played Rock Band together all the time, I already had about 6 guitars, so I acquired the "controllers" I didn't have so we could play Real Band instead. I've been very fortunate to have the disposable income, accompanied with a couple of unforeseen win-falls, to do something like that for my friends and I. Sure I technically own all the stuff, but I did buy a lot of it to have around for my friends. I only wish everyone who wanted to could be as lucky as I've been.

the guy who wants to play as soon as a guitar is near. You are chilling out with a few people, nice music in the backround, a nice time, you are having fun. Then he grabs the f****** acoustic guitar and is strumming and look as he is totally feeling it, forcing all attention at him and. No one is able to have a good conversation anymore. well done. Totally worth for Wonderwall.

Reason why I tend not to lean on clip-on tuners is no one stops playing long enough for the clip on tuner to catch my strings vibrations. More of a problem with acoustic and semi acoustic guitars but still annoying as all hell.

Someone below mentioned this but it's my pet peeve also on guitar/amp reviews on KZitem. Reviewers who say "here is my clean tone to start" when it is not a clean tone. It's just a slightly less distorted tone. Also when a YT reviewer says they are reviewing a guitar then never lets you hear anything remotely clean and all you hear is a loud amp and pedals. I am watching the video to hear the guitar tone not the pedal board or amp.

I'm so guilty of #6 😂 my issue is I just don't necessarily find every part of a song interesting. I tend to just learn stuff that catches my ear and sounds cool

I was at a low key blues jam where the guitarists outnumbered the audience and we would take turns playing a song which quickly collapsed into one guy plugging in a bunch of tube screamers for ten-minutes and then he would take a 20-minute solo where he tortured a bunch of half-assed SRV licks...I stopped playing cause it was worse than an Elementary school recital...

Years ago I got to have dinner with Laurence Juber and then sit front row center at the Woodstock Fine Arts building. He had his guitar, a tuner and possible an EQ of some sort. Didn't need a lot of stuff, and the man is one amazing finger style player.

I saw a show (a reg series) on PBS from Les Paul's club and the featured act was Zakk Wylde. He played an acoustic for half the night and had it sounding like it was something pointy through a Plexi.

Don't play the first bar of a song before the band is actually going to start the song! If you need to just get your hands in the right place, at least roll the volume off so you don't blow whatever excitement factor you may have built into your set. You only get one shot at Sweet Home Alabama and Whole Lotta Love.

I agree with ya on everything except changing strings...old strings on an electric can sound great...the tone is in your fingers, however, changing acoustic guitar strings is imperative...old ones sound terrible. Agreed, braces and guitar strings definitely do not match!🤣🤣🤣

Or guitarists noodling during rehearsal! I get it. I love playing too. But if I'm trying to talk a part out with you, stop playing. Inevitably, they're not listening and when we go to play the part, I have to stop them again and explain what's supposed to be happening.

I had a guy in my band that didn’t trim his strings and wound them into little loops. He got out his guitar one night and caught one of them on the wing nut of a cymbal stand. Pulled the stand over and the cymbal edge hit his fingerboard breaking two of his strings. Then he got mad and blamed all of us😂

I heard the joke as "What's a bass player without a girlfriend? Homeless." I told the joke to the dad of a woman that worked for me who was the bass player in The Gears, an LA punk punk in the 70s. "Hey man Have you heard this one? 'What's a bass player without a girlfriend?'" His immediate response was "RARE."

Tuning to other strings with your fretting hand drives me nuts. They try to remember the pitch instead of letting it ring and using your picking hand to bring the pitch up in unison with the note.
