I just owned a guitarist
 
I am at school with a guitarist who is always mocking me for playing bass, and we were doing a chord exercise. He was reading the chord progression that went ilke "F, G, F, G, F, G7" and he read the last one G. I corrected him like a boss! He said "Fine, you owned me. Go to your forums and brag." That is what I am doing right now.

**** YOU GUITARIST!

Why would you want to own a guitarist? I've found their resale/trade-in value to be way over rated!

This is sig worthy!

I'm confused about this whole "own" thing. I understand what they mean when they say someone got "owned" but I frequently see it written as "pwned". Is this just a common typo because the p is next to the o or is this a whole other thing?

Pwned is more gamer speak. They mean the exact same thing.

It's "like", not "ilke"....

Hey, I just owned another bass player!

;)

alneto 01-31-2013 09:32 AM

Same here
 
I owned one too when I told him the name of the chord he was doing (which he didn't know), and on another day during the rehearsal I had to explain how a chord is formed since I was playing the 3rd of the chord as a pedal note during a small part of the song... no need to say they were giving me "that" :mad: look when I finished :bassist:

Too easy- we can totally be had for next-to-nothing. ;)

Over in the guitar and drum forums they're having a laugh over how bass players over-compensate for their inferiority complex by having to prove how much more theory they know than everyone else.

Your musicianship is not defined by knowing what an imperfect cadence is.

Topspin 01-31-2013 09:47 AM

I feel like I'm getting owned every time I pay $25 for new strings when guitarists pay ~$7.

OTOH, it is fairly easy to know *more theory* than zero. ;)

Spay or neuter, it's a good idea.
