When your guitarist says you played a wrong note

[Lenny JG]

 

[bholder]

I say "dude, I'm avant-garde".

 

[flannel cat]

My go to is ''sorry man i was feeling jazzy''!!!!

 

[johnh89]

Wrap my solid ash P bass round the back of his head , and hit the brown note when he's still unconscious . He may keep his opinions to himself after that .

 

[Michedelic]

I would say, “Prove it.”

 

[basscooker]

I explain how the 200dB he has pouring from his 8x12 rig pointed right at me makes basically any note I play pointless so I just randomly fret stuff.

 

[GIBrat51]

I would say "Which one?" He would show me (he was a much better bass player than I was). I would say "Thanks; I'll try not to screw that up again." And, we would move on. I have no problem (and never have had) with taking advice - about anything - from anybody who was actually qualified to give it...

 

[WI Short Scaler]

I just look at him and smile! We've learned long ago there's no better way to guarantee a mistake on your own part than by pointing out someone else's.

 

[Lo-E]

…he’s usually right.

 

[Rich Fiscus]

If it’s Larry, I ask him which one I screwed up. He has the only ears I sometimes trust more than my own.

 

[ShadowGroover]

"It looks so much easier to play that right note on your Les Paul. Could I try it on your guitar?"

** resulting handoff is fumbled, causing Les Paul to dive to floor, snapping headstock like a skinny, dried twig

"Oh darn. If only I hadn't played that wrong note this would have never happened. Sorry. ."

Dude! It's a jazz note

Dude! It's a jazz note

Only if you do it twice. Repetition legitimizes, etc...

 

[P. Aaron]

It's why you always lay down the bass tracks before the guitarist complicates it and locks down the modes.

 

[rickwebb]

"That was my INTERPRETATION of the spirit of the song..."

 

[Bunk McNulty]

“Yeah, well, at least I played it in the right place!”

 

[5StringBlues]

"Does this mean we're not gonna play Stonehenge?"

 

[Zooberwerx]

You're always a half-step from happiness.

[JACKSON JS1XM]

Perhaps, I may have missed that note, but if I did, the drunks in the audience didn't point it out. Remember, those 2 guys said that "you suck"-ed, not me. I guess we both have something to iron out for the next performance.

"It's called an Inversion" dude looked at me like I was talking about his junk.
