You might be a Guitard...

[RoadRanger]

If you can only get "your tone" on 11, even in a broom closet - you might be a Guitard...

If your pedalboard consists mostly of pedals you only use on one song - you might be a Guitard...

If you don't know how to install strings so that they stay in tune - you might be a Guitard...
(Just had to teach two of them how a couple days ago LOL)

If you've ever gotten so drunk at a gig that the bass player had to tune your guitar - you might be a Guitard...
(Yup, been there, done that LOL)

If you own a Marshall full-stack - you might be a Guitard...

If you often ask the bass player about a chord - you might be a Guitard...

if the bass player plays a tune most of the way through one or two frets off and you don't notice - you might be a Guitard... (or maybe the bass player is )

If you wear your Metallica "T" on a folk gig - you might be a Guitard...

If you're convinced that your ears are located on the back of your knees - you might be a Guitard...

So, how about some more?

If you can't sound good on an acoustic 6 string well, you might be are a guitard.

 

[pbagley]

If you need a sound guy for every gig because you cannot play (or sing) without being loudest in the group ...

 

[RoadRanger]

If you don't like the sound of your amp pointed at your ears but have no problem subjecting the audience to it - you might be a Guitard...

Hehe, there's a guy locally who used to place his Twin Reverb facing the back wall of the venue...and with the volume dimed!
Great player, though, and has since behaved more reasonably.
Definitely not a guitard.

 

[dbase]

You keep telling the bass player to turn it down.. You just might be a guitard.

 

[NortyFiner]

If you think the purpose of a band is just to back you up, you might be a guitard.

If you're the reason that other people keep leaving the band, you might be a guitard.

If you listen to your girlfriend's creative input more than your bandmates, you might be a guitard.

If you think volume is more important than musical considerations like tone or content, you might be a guitard.

If you're offended by this thread because it hits too close to home, you're probably a guitard.

Ha Ha .. My guitar player many years ago had a Super Reverb (4x10) that was loud as hell. He used to turn it backwards on stage with the magnets facing the audience instead of just turning the volume down. I never understood why except that he wanted that overdriven grunge sound for him on stage but not blow the crowd away. He was a good (guitardist), unfortunately I only had a B15 at the time and could never get louder than him.

You mean I might be a Guillemot?

 

[RoadRanger]

Oy vey - they've gone and censored guitard LOL. Wonder if they've done the same with drumtard, keytard, mictard, basstard, and soundtard ?

EDIT> Guess not yet .

If you're offended by a word like gu1tard you might be a guit...... actually no, you might be an overly PC petal who needs trigger warnings on everything and a safe space at university where you can avoid anything that may challenge your inflexible delicate sensibilities.

 

[dbase]

I used the word "Guitardist" in a sentence and it passed the PC police. for now at least. maybe we should have said Musically Challenged.

That's brilliant

 

[ONYX]

If you only know 4 chords, but carry your guitar everywhere....

If every song you know starts with the lyrics "wait, s***, wait, s***, hold on, OK I got it".........

I'm offended by the term. It's also pretty disheartening to see it tossed around so flippantly around here.
Yeah, I know it's supposed to be all in good fun, but "tard" is an ugly term. Believe me; I've said many deplorable things throughout my life. I've stuffed these size 14s in my mouth countless times, and no doubt will continue to do so, but I'm trying to be better.
I'm from Madison. We're supposedly infamous for being easily offended libt ... liberals. Social conscience & all that. Can't help it I guess. Something in the water.
I know individuals with intellectual disabilities, and their families. Walk a mile in their shoes. They're undeserving of being diminished by a juvenile taunt.
Also, I like and respect the musicians I play with. I'm not into bashing my bandmates and cowardly calling them names behind their back on some anonymous internet forum.

 

[Andy_Madison]

By all means keep using the term. That way I'll know who the jerks are 'round here.

This, right here ^^^ is why the world needs reset by a meteor.
