After a gig a guy walks up to us and says," I thought that you guys sounded really great, until I noticed the music stands." (Two singers used written lyric cheat sheets.)

Last night I had a girl tell me she liked what I was doing on "Voodoo Chile". She said it reminded her of Victor Wooten because I was throwing in some "harmonic overtones" or something like that. First I was blown away that a female even knew who Victor Wooten is and then I laughed and said "I can assure that in no way whatsoever does my playing resemble Victor Wooten in any way!"

From the drummer I jam with sometimes (also my best friend) "You look weird holding a guitar"

and then getting the same drummer and a guitarist (my other best friend) to follow my dynamics on a jam of Green Onions

This didn't happen to me, but to my brother who is a drummer. We played at the same gig, and in the audience there was one old drunk guy, who really dug my brother's drumming. After the gig he walked straight to my brother and gave a really wet kiss to him-from mouth to mouth.

"Wow, you're actually pretty solid."

From a guitarist who've been in a band with for 3 years. To out that into context I've been playing for 9 years and we'd just finished playing a cover of Sweetness by Jimmy Eat World, one of the easiest songs ever.

A band that I left a few years ago split up not long after, saying, and I quote "we couldn't find a bassist who played as badly as you. Everything sounded weird"!

I took it as a compliment (I think!)
