For those of you who don't know, Chewbacca (member here) and myself are in a band together, both guitarists (we swap between lead and rhythm xD) anyway we came up with a list of 10 things you MUST (not) do if you want to be a pro guitar player (if you are planning on picking up the instrument in the future) This is mainly about guitar, but can apply to other instruments.
1. You must ALWAYS buy the most expensive guitar/amp and equipment. Anything too cheap and you’ll sound like shit and look like a complete tight arse. Spend your life savings if you have to.
2. When playing electric guitar, NEVER EVER have the guitar strap too high. The guitar must NEVER be above your crotch. It is cool and pro to set yourself up for risk of carpel tunnel syndrome. Comfort is for losers and n00b guitar players.
3. Don’t use capos, they are for wimps.
4. Once you have learned the song, never practise for more than 10 minutes. If you need any more practise than this, you are obviously a shit guitar player and should think about quitting.
5. Speed is everything. If you can’t play fast, you suck simple as that. Who care’s about accuracy as long as you are really fast who gives a shit?
6. Don’t waste your time learning scales, they are boring and pointless.
7. If you have to use an electronic tuner in order to tune your guitar, you should quit right now. Because EVERYONE focuses on whether a guitarist can tune accurately by ear or not.
8. If you are female, don’t even think about it, guitar is a man’s instrument!
9. If your cover does not sound EXACTLY like the original, note by note, chord by chord.. Then it sucks.
10. If you have no natural talent, you will never be half decent so don’t even try it.
and there we go people, Chewie and my 10 tips of being a (not so) pro guitar player.
DISCLAIMER: For those of you who do not pick it up, this list is purely sarcasm. It is based on things we have heard from idiots who have either never picked up a guitar in their lives, or play but have no idea what they are talking about plain and simple.
