@@big.muscles.ohyeah Not true. I have friends that didn't go to college and they make 6 figures. The ones that did go are in a lot of debt and are making less. It's all about how you spend your time and money.
@@big.muscles.ohyeah Lotta people have school debt for decades. not knocking school if its your passion, but make sure its in engineering or somethings thats actually going to make you money. I personally dropped out of highschool and started a business lol shopping for a new house as I type this. I spent my 20's basically being otto except unemployed and in a band
@@big.muscles.ohyeah I think youre misunderstanding. the system USED to be set up to favor degrees but I'd argue it isnt that way much any more. I know tons of people with degrees that struggle to find decent jobs. The real path is to develop a skill that is valuable and go into business for yourself. Hustle yes. luck? not really. I cringe at how much money these kids could have made if they put the six figure tuition into a business instead. what a waste
@@The_g_string_lover I hate to break it to you, but you dont have any friends who went to college and went on to be successful because you weren't good enough to be their friend
"Now boy, we've spent a lot of money, so you better get real good real fast or POW!" Inspirational words my parents told me all of the time when they bought me a Casio keyboard.
@@leonardoflorentin somewhat, I did learn enough to play songs by ear by listening to the preset songs on the console but that was eons ago since I last religiously played key instruments. I was learning the violin in elementary school and tried to get on the band by playing a tuba later on but that's it with my history of playing instruments.
@@leonardoflorentin I've never known one of those Casios with built-in speakers to sound appealing, even when being played by an absolute virtuoso. They might be made to PREVENT the study of music. Like plastic recorders.
@@johnnykeys1978 they are convinient for low income people. I've learned to play in one of those. As a little kid I used to listen to a music box my mother used to own, she saw me listen to the damn thing quite often and how I mimicked the piano as the song went on, so she decided to make the effort and send me to a local teacher and bought me a Casio so I could learn, and I've become a pro on keyboard and piano. Sometimes all you need is support, and you'll make do with whatever.
@@kensstudio0806 So did I. I didn't flip the strings like Hendrix did, though. Playing solos is MUCH harder because you have to reach all the way around the neck
@@sabatino1977 You don't even have to do it if you reverse the chords. Plus, Otto plays finger style -- I don't know leftie chords, but I think I could play finger style on an instrument with the strings in "wrong" order. If you know where the notes are, the order of the strings isn't that important.
I'm no expert on left handed guitars, but at 0:24, we can see that Bart strumming from top down showing that the strings are already reversed, so Otto simply flipping it to right handed should have been natural without any other changes.
It reminds me of when me and my sister would play with the old piano at our grandparents house... Until our aunt yelled at us for interrupting her soap operas and had the piano hauled to the dump... 🙃
Bart's a left hander and has a left handed strat copy. Otto is a right hander and turns it upside-down. He plays a monumental solo which means he is the best guitar player in history- he literally played the guitar upside-down. On top of all of that, THE GUITAR IS AMPLIFIED EVERYWHERE IT IS PLAYED WITHOUT AN AMPLIFIER. That's cartoons I guess....
@@PhoenixPhantom1337 he doesnt strangle him anymore ??? That what homer and bart are iconic for . Bunch of little sissy nancy boys these days that dont know humor
I remember seeing kids' guitars in the Sears catalog around this same time, and just being 1000% convinced that was all I needed to skyrocket to stardom
I feel like the guitar industry somewhat relies on trying to sell this dream that any kid can become rich and famous. Remember the only winners during the gold rush were those selling pans and shovels
It's scary when the person you can most relate to from Simpsons is something between Barney and Otto... I sure played some guitar in high school, to the extent of almost failing the finals.
I really felt for Barney in the episode where they gave him helicopter lessons as a joke thinking he would never be able to stay sober enough to go through it.
I can relate. As a fan of Simpsons I could always total8 relate to Otto. And maybe to a Comic Book Guy a little due to his constant cold blooded irony.
Homer proving the guitar is real by whacking himself in the head with it always made me think of Samuel Johnson refuting the philosophy of immaterialism by kicking a stone.
I love that Bart's fantasy doesn't involve any musicianship whatsoever: we see him insulting his adoring audience and in a wasted and bloated state, "slagging off" his bandmate. "Ughhh-ughhhhh!" "COOL!" LOL
The most impressive thing is Otto playing left handed guitar wrong way that well. The guitar is super cursed anyway, tremolo and knobs are on the different sides.
The reason that Bart couldn’t play was because he’s left handed but the the strings were inverted for a right handed guitarist, if you listen to the bit where Bart strums the guitar you can tell the strings are the wrong way around, that’s why Otto could play it so well even though it was a left handed guitar
Maybe another reason why Bart can’t play it is because he’s playing the guitar inverted? He’s playing left handed but the guitar might be right handed ?
