cool bedtime story

Let's see... got back into music after a 25 year absence... replied to a Craig's List ad for a bassist. Got asked to come to a rehearsal and given a song list to learn.
Showed up and found out that they have two guitar players, neither of which had a clue how to:
-change the strings on their guitar
-set up their amps to get a good sound
-the one with the Gibby SG didn't know what the toggle switch was for
-didn't know how to play most of the songs they had me learn

So, I owned them by...
-changing their strings, which had not been done by either of them in 10 years.
-adjusted the tones on their amps to reflect our tunes and sound better
-showed them how to play their parts.

BTW - band lasted all of two months...

Sorry,

They owned you by having you:

-change their strings

-show them how to adjust the tone on their amps

-show them how to play

Good luck. Last time my guitarist changed his strings I paid for them. I should make him buy me a set of chromes

Yah know, I think you're at least partially correct, well atleast until I left after two short months... heck, they probabaly need new strings by now...
And no, I didn't pay for their strings, but I did have to tell them what to buy!LOL

Well, you know what they say;

Play a wrong note once it's a mistake.

Play it twice, you're puttin' out Blues......

The op must be 13 going on 12. You'll see, life's gonna rock when your braces come off LOL.

As a guitarist, I'd have to say we're nothing of value. I'd be pretty worthless if I wasn't a keyboard player. So you're really not bragging by saying you own one.

AltGrendel · #54 02-02-2013, 04:32 PM

Ha! good for you.

**** YOU GUITARIST!

You should have said, in a "wanna-be-your-friend-its OK" tone.
"Nah, I did not own you.....I punked you!"

One time I owned a guitarist... I was promptly released from the band.

oniman7 · #57 02-05-2013, 01:40 AM

I owned a guitarist once.

Now I just own a guitar and a drum machine. You don't want to know what happened to the guitarist.

He's probably getting laid though.
