I own an electric guitar. I am not good at playing it.

My favorite guitarist is.Slash I guess. I dunno. Lots of great Guns N Roses riffs.

I already made my g string joke in the signups, so I guess you’ll have settle with the only other joke:
That i can competently play a full song that involves bar chords

Slasher, eh?

Happy Halloween, ya filthy animal

Oops I didn’t read the rules. Figured it was a hustle so what rules

I like the guitarist of a show I did a while ago. His name is Daniel Vildosola. He’s crazy talented and never really talked, he just smiled at us with a knowing grin and played the most amazing riffs like it was nothing

Hello all!

Slash --- ok ---I guess.

I much prefer Hendrix, Page or Townsend but even better:

My best guitarist of all time answer might have been different a few years ago, but now I have to say Tom Morello. Almost all of RAtMs sound effects are actually Morellos pedals and guitar. He's unique.

I took lessons when I was a kid, and I was so bad at it. So bad. My (acoustic, student) guitar got passed to a cousin who also was bad at it when I was 14, and I never saw it again.

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like if any of us were *good* at playing guitar, we’d be in a band by default. It’s just the natural progression of things. Right Epi?

inb4 Wilgy pops in here and says ‘I am a guitar’

Yeah they're awesome... I was a little stumped last night because I never really thought about it before much. Morello is sick as well!

I don't play guitar and have never even tried bc my best friend growing up played and he was my jukebox.

I seem to have the idea that Falcon is in a band? I seem to recall having seen a picture of him here or maybe on Discord playing a guitar? And isn't Epi a kind of one man band? Roxy had one of his tapes and I believe he played all his own instruments.

I enjoy music, and think i have fairly good taste, but I am just not good at it myself.

You know who was an AMAZING acoustic guitarist? Charo. when someone first told me that I thought it was a joke, but she is pretty talented.

I have the feeling this game is gonna crash a few phones, so i put it in spoilers, lol.

Case in point

Like I were good at being lazy, I’d be a non productive member of society.

And I am so

Dave Grohl is above all others in regards to the guitar, and I will lose my mind if someone disagrees

T…t-test 1 2 3?

Is sound check over?

We’re only missing half the band

was hoping for everyone to at least have checked in

tis a dry time on The Syndicate.

Well well well this is like if Pink Floyd showed up to a stadium concert

Except instead of Pink Floyd we’re more of a flaky garage band from South Dakota with none of our instruments plugged into the amps and instead of a stadium it’s in the woods 50 miles from nearest civilization


At least the squirrels will be entertained

So we have what, 4 no shows. That sucks.

I start my new job next week, today I have to do all the prep (I just got back from the drug test which is stupid since they mainly look for pot which is now legal in NY) but I'm here Fri-Sun for sure.

If worst comes to worst we can yeet Scotty for bad Dad Jokes.

I'm here! sorry!

My fave guitarist is John Petrucci

Will you test positive for pot?

Ok time to get some discussion going

If we’re all part of a band, (all playing guitar) and some are trying to sabotage our show, I ask anyone that’s here:
-what kind of guitar do you play? What does it look like?
-are you more of a support or do you want the solos?
-what is your ideal venue?

Go

We are an Ibanez family, but personally I would only ever want to be a rhythm guitar type support player

That’s a niche guitar timmer!

So you don’t want any solos? You’re all support?

No. I knew I was planning to change jobs for a while, and I know how stupid bureaucracy can be.

Apparently I can run massive, intricate, 20+ player games but cannot manage a 9-person all vanilla affair.

I thought I could be more efficient by just mentioning everyone here rather than sending out (what I thought were) needless role PMs to vanillas.

Lesson learned. Individual PMs have to go out.

To that end (and since nothing of note has happened anyway), I am re-randomizing, sending proper PMs, and we will have a restart in about an hour.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

Blame it on the fucking roadies.

Role PMs have been sent. You may now post.
