23 reasons to fire your guitar player 

"Undresses" has never been a good reason to fire a guitarist … or bassist according to RHCP.

I knew someone at high school who got kicked out of his band because he kept breaking out the intro to "Layla" during practise.

I think 6 and 7 are somewhat a part of EVERY GUITARIST deep inside😂😄

Started guitar later in my life, I think I was 19, but I remember when I was just trying so hard to get onto the scene I got let go from a band for being too "studious."....LOL. They were referring to the fact that I wrote all 80 songs in their song list out in sheet music for myself to use, iconic guitar solos and all, and I lugged this big notebook full of sheet music to all the gigs until I could have it all memorized...LOL. Must have looked kind-of silly. Didn't take it too personally, I understood they wanted someone who could just jive and be loose. Wasn't quite there yet. 2 years later they asked me back and by that time I was a much better player and I played with them for a few years after that. I learned from that experience that sometimes overprepared-ness can be a deficit! But don't burn your bridges!

Ok, This Man is not only a wicked player but funnier than hell. Love this stuff..

I saw that dang "Wonderwall" one coming from a mile away 😭 this video is facts

I kept on replaying #17 🤣🤣🤣 dude's got so much energy he could make an entire solo album in one nonstop take

Omg I totally thought you were gonna play stairway at the end but wonderwall is so much better!

Everybody knows there is no such thing as "too much distortion". My pedalboard is just 12 RAT pedals.

"What do you mean I have to learn more than just the intro?" This one hurt me personally lol

to be honest that lead tone for "too much distortion" was pretty sick. Like a frusciante tone

Congrats on reaching 10k dude.

#24: Doesn't know the names of chords. Tried playing once with a guitarist who could shred like crazy, but when I tried to describe a chord progression on a song, he looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. "It starts on B minor..." "What the what?"

I feel called out. I'm all of those (except overqualified).

On the last one i saw his fingers on that chord and i knew instantly what was coming lol

Keep them coming. Love this channel

I like you man, you are giving some fresh, old school jared dines type videos, which are slightly more original tho, that's cool, good job.

Yeah but you got the strumming to wonderwall right. Even RU-vid pros rarely bother with that much.

This channel is gunna blow up your funny af man and it's all pretty much true

There's never too much distortion, I welcome it as someone that likes pushing my stuff until it sounds like it's coming through a potato from the Irish potato famine

Mike your channel rules!

I think you covered it, but "Wants to be the star" and "Doesn't serve the song." Are high on the list too.

Bro. You Rick rolled us with wonder wall last second. Classic. Love it bro. Keep these up. Also maybe do a vid on the pink tele That thing is a beauty!

In all fairness I think number 12 kinda depends on the setting. I only play blues because I am a blues guitarist, and I know that when I go looking for a band, I'll be looking for a blues band rather than a multi-style band.

Clean back in black sent me

You should do a video showing your guitar collection.

Bravo 👏🏽 this was awesome

Nice vid U earned a new sub

Accurate asff 😭 ur the bestttt🙌🏿

Funny and too real !! Ain't nuthin wrong with #12 tho 😂🙌

For better or worse I play and sing solo for the last 25 years or so. So, I am not in danger of getting fired, no matter how i play, or dress, or whatever, unless I fire myself lol

That last bit was legit the first song I learned.

1:21 o fato que ele tocou anunciação sem querer é impressionante haha. En: he accidentally played a Brazilian song called anunciação

Hilarious! 😂 Add "Doesn't play in time" to that list. I was a singer in a cover band and the guitarist never played a full song in time... Sadly, he couldn't be fired (father and son -band) so a painful realisation and I left 😆

You kill it with the memes, keep it up bro! If you only know one song, gotta be that one :D

bro the exaggerated soloing face is so funny

Lol the hey Joe at the end

Don't know what that last song was but it sounded wonderful!

Nice tone

Haha, this video had me laughing out loud! The jokes were so well done and the guitar playing was a great bonus. I'm sure all guitar players can relate to at least a few of these reasons. Great job on the video, it was a joy to watch. Keep up the entertaining and talented work!

Genial!!

Which means that my bandmate has sufficient reasons to get rid of me😆

...and it's Wonder Wall. Nice touch.

2 is Shoegaze or Black Metal 3 is Surf Rock or Funk

this is gold. period.

I legit stopped working with a guy who wouldn’t stop playing blues for EVERY solo.

Wait did you play Careless Whisper for the Blues part?

Im fired so many times

Quem é br ouviu Anunciação em 01:21. Anunciação is a really famous brazilian song.

That’s a nice looking Telecaster my man, I bet you can really make that thing scream!

I’m guilty of only learning intros and soloing too much. The only song I can play all the way through is crazy train

0:35 priceless

The "only intros" guy was a personal attack lol

Wonderwall!!!!! 🤟😝

This is my new favorite channel. This guy’s about to blow up, mark my words!

What's his tele?

What's the intro he plays at number 6 ?

0:07 AC/DC live in MTV unplugged?

17 is my man!!!!

I got my first guitar last week and I learned wonderwall and this video kinda talks to me.

this dude never misses I swear to god XD

3 had me ROLLING

Ok I NEED to know if there's a story behind #22 because that seems just way too specific to be made up

What the melodi on 25 sec?

Bro, number 2 sounds a lot like Reelin in the Years from steely dan!

I KNEW HE WAS GONNA PLAY WONDERWALL

0:22 the name of the music pls im suffering its been 1 mounth that i listen to this music and didnt find the name pls someone

I saw only learns intros and thought only learns solos…. 😂😂😂. Perfect timing!!!

Im def the wonderwall guy lmao. That hit hard. God damn

What if they are vampires?

Should’ve ended singing the first few words of wonderwall😆

Can't change key on command, because 'dude! I practiced at home and the tab said it starts on 3rd fret, now you want me to do it on the 5th fret?

This man destroyed me with Wonderwall at the end xD

“Rats of Oregon” beautiful band name

UHH, you dont have to learn more than the intro... That one spoke directly to me.

I died when he started playing WonderWall without a capo 😂

LOL @ "is that capo 1?"

Mike your stuff is really good. Are you on instagram

2, 6 and 7 is basically all I know. I can't change now.

At the last reason i wasnt suprised about the song he was playing

Number 17 no such thing as too much energy 🤣🤣

I just stumbled here and I have a feeling this cat is an absolutely AMAZING musician/guitar player! I have to check out more videos hoping to see him shredding. 🤘🤠🤘

Bro why do you have to call me out like that on #6?

I love the guitar faces

Bro the last one😂😂😂😂

the kids birthday party was so wholesome tho

When I saw the seventh one, I was deep down offended even though outside I said "true"

What is he playing on number 6?

Knows one song and plays unplugged.. yep that sums up most of us at the beginning of our playing

You forgot a few: -Too loud -Won't buy new gear -Shows up with new gear every week -Can't learn a song at practice or an audition -Needs to smoke pot/drink to play (nothing wrong with responsible moderation though) -Thinks John Frusciante is the "greatest guitarist ever" -Dresses like their primary influence (stop dressing like Hendrix) -Doesn't change strings until one breaks -Wipes back to front -Solos exclusively out of time -Puts solos before songs -Anyone who doesn't have enough faith in their creativity to just come up with a different part if the songwriter/ensemble asks them to. You can do it, just pretend you're starting from scratch and pick another inspiration -Doesn't understand 1x12s in band setting *need* you to stop maxing out the bass because that takes you out of the mix unless you have 2+ speakers and over 20w -Doesn't own a tuner

Blues face was murder!

I can play the guitar, but i dont know how to play Wonderwall.

for me its obv 7 :D i always solo too much...

If they use too much distortion they are good and if they only play blues they are also good

I’ve been playing for 30 years I think I’ve done all off them at one time or another

Triggered by #8 I am #10 Really loving your vids lately lol

Good.

12 is just like me, Fr 🎸🐒

00:07 Song please?

Okay, I am sometimes number 6, definitely 7, sometimes 13, always 17, and unfortunately 19 and 20. Please hire me lol
