Haven't posted in a while but I thought some of you might find this amusing. I got a laugh out of it and then got mad because I didn't think of it first. This Ad appeared in the Musicians forum of Craig"s List last week.

Quote:
Worst guitarist ever!! (Charlotte)



I may be the worst guitarist and singer/songwriter ever. I'm looking to collaborate with other horrible musicians. Whether you are another guitarist, vocalist or any other instrumentalist, I may be interested in jamming with you. My vocal tone is a cross between Maynard, Jerry Cantrell and a turd. I have pro gear, stage and studio experience and I suck at all of it.

My styles range from metal, rock, prog, alternative, soul, and Latin.
If interested in hearing my piss poor playing drop me a line or call me at ###-#### Jack


:P :lol: 8) :roll:

Do yourself a favor and never look at the CL musicians want adds. Waste of time.
Tried it looking for a drummer and guitarists. Incredible dumbasses showed up half drunk or just didn't know what was up..or down. Big mistake to look for pros on there 99% of the time.

Actually I just read through them for the entertainment value as in the previous post. So many of the posts are ads for local home studios offering incredible prices or 17 year old lead guitarists who have been playing for 7 years and have professional equipment along with years of stage and studio experience. :) Many of the posters tend to exaggerate their skill and experience levels and do not measure up to their advertising. Of course there are exceptions (Super Kid) I just thought it was refreshing to see the exaggeration go in the opposite direction. And if the poster was being honest then I could definitely fit in that band.

This would be my reply to his ad:
"I think I could jam with you. I've been playing for 40 years. I can mangle 2 positions of the pentatonic scale. I can play in any key as long as you tell me what fret it starts on. I have never bent a whole note successfully. My timing is terrible, but my guitar face is incredible. My back up vocals are inspired by fingernails on a chalkboard and skidding tires. I do have years of stage experience mostly on Sunday at Church, and I got kicked out of a real studio once. My equipment would have been considered professional in the 1970's now its almost vintage and it works most of the time. I tried calling your number but for some reason I got "The Guitar Center " instead. Please email me back on Craig's list."

I thought dealing with the musician's classifieds were bad. Those are what I call an exercise in futility. :P

How about this Heisenberg guitar for $100?

Image

Since it doesn't have infinite sustain, you can play it in any band.

(Because of Heisenberg, it cannot be both time limited and band limited.)

Look at the map to the right of the Heisenberg guitar ...

I think it can stay exactly where it is.
