OK, I'm a noob, but I see the word "guitard" thrown around here a lot, generally seeming to be used for a guitar player with more ego than talent or musical knowledge, but I don't think I've actually seen the word defined. I thought I'd take a whack, though.
guitard- noun- 1) Guy who drops eleven hundred on a Fender Strat, decides that isn't enough guitar for him, and drops another twelve hundred on a Gibson SG (which he takes out of the case maybe twice), instead of buying an entry-level instrument and using the rest of the money to pay for, you know, lessons.
2) Guy who drops some ungodly amount of money on a vintage Gibson Flying V, instead of buying an entry-level instrument and using the rest of the money to pay for, you know, lessons.
'Cause if you have an awesome guitar and a chord book, you don't need lessons because the awesomeness of the guitar will inspire you to awesomeness of playing.
3)Guy who laughs and sneers when the bass player asks him to turn down because he has a Traynor combo/Fender tube amp and all she has is a little Gorilla practice amp and can't hear herself, even though she's standing less than three feet from her amp.
Really. I was in a band with these two guys. I only showed up for practice because I liked jamming with the drummer (who was nineteen- the rest of us were in our late twenties- and far and away the best musician in the band). I think I was in the pocket, but I'm not really sure because, like I said, I couldn't hear myself.
