Guitarists: It’s not just how you play. It’s how you stand like your life depends on a downstroke. New series: Guitarist Postures & Motions - Punk Rock Edition 🎸 Now go rock that stance. Punk is all about ergonomics. Bad ergonomics. But still ergonomics.

Hard to blame bassists for fake playing when the audience is fake hearing them. 😆 Good that Youtube removed the copyright strike though 👍

Not sure “normal people” even know they’re called pedals… 🤔😂
I thought becoming a guitarist was a way to relax and simplify your life?😂 #guitarproblems

Friendly reminder: Your guitar strings aren't old and rusty. They're vintage and developing character. Possibly bacterial colonies, too.

Waking up to find out you don’t actually have a girlfriend? 🤔😂

True that… especially considering a great guitar can make a cheap guitarist sound incredibly awful. But hey, at least he’ll look and sound expensive. 😂
Unpopular opinion: You don’t need a better guitar. You need better practice. 🎸 A great guitarist can make a cheap guitar sound incredible.

NEED ! It doesn't matter what it does... ́NEED !

Good tip… And if it gets you fired, you’ll have even more time to play guitar. Win-win. 😂
Tip to have better work-life balance: play your guitar at work

I thought Guitar Fail gradually mutated from curating weird guitar stuff into creating weird guitar stuff. Then I dug through the archives. 2011 Guitar Fail would like a word. Apparently the mutation started four months after launch. guitarfail.substack.com/p/i-…

The dentist’s weekend toy 😂 Fair enough: a Porsche sounds like a dentist drill on steroids, and a PRS makes you cringe... But it's probably the gigging dentist’s fault. 😬
One gives you GAS, one needs gas🤘🏁

Clearly, this is what happens when the guitarist fires the wrong bandmate.
Little reminder that easiest or cheapest choice ain't always the best!

To be fair, they didn’t exactly hide it. 🕺
I Was Made for Loving You was a massive hit for Kiss, but did YOU know it was intended to be a Disco song?

Bummer for single guitarists. Someone should launch a Rent-a-Spouse service for GAS maniacs. Now that's a vital public service for unsupervised guitar shoppers.
Scary, welcome to the future - let’s hope this trend does not spread 😆🤘👊 #guitarist

You gotta love that “analog AI” concept. When musicians build on existing ideas, it’s the creative process. When guitar makers learn from the Stratocaster, Fender’s lawyers enter the prompt. Glad Bud Cole cleared that up.
Fender CEO Edward “Bud” Cole has argued that AI has “existed in music as long as there’s been recorded music.” In an interview with T3, Cole described cover songs as a kind of “analog AI,” saying musicians learn from artists they admire and eventually use those influences to create their own music. He also compared bandmates to another form of analog AI, suggesting that musicians can build on each other’s ideas in much the same way AI can assist the creative process. His comments have drawn criticism over the comparison between human musical learning and AI systems trained on massive datasets of music. #AI #Music #MusicTech #GenerativeAI #Fender

Ghost-Noting is making a note feel so awkward that it leaves the harmony on its own. You don't mute it or remove it. You just create an environment where it no longer feels comfortable. It's basically passive-aggressive note management. 👻🎸guitarfail.com/guitar-fail-l…
