Shut up and play!
This and out of tune guitars drive me nuts. And if you have time on the video to explain why you didn't have time to tune you had time to tune.I agree too. Alot of those videos have people talking for MINUTES! WTF? Just play.
Plus 1,000,000,000,000!!!!! Unbelievable what some of these folks are (not) thinking of!!!!!!!!Also, STOP STOP STOP shooting vids at crotch level while wearing loose khaki shorts!! I do NOT want to audition your franks n' taters while auditioning your gear! Just STOP!!!
rant over
Alot of the videos on YouTube that are claimed to be "demos" are really just attempts at showing off in order to get praise. I can't tell you how many "demos" I've watched where the person just plays scales as fast as they can. It's stupid. Every amp sounds the same to me like that.If you're playing your own amp (in the case of an unamed builder) WHY noodle up and down the neck playing distorted lines as opposed to, say, playing chords and progressions that highlight the sparkle and bloom and tonal characteristics of that particular amp? Change the bong water. Rant over.
I hear you. I mean, give me a real reason to want to buy the amp. Not some distorted noodling.Alot of the videos on YouTube that are claimed to be "demos" are really just attempts at showing off in order to get praise. I can't tell you how many "demos" I've watched where the person just plays scales as fast as they can. It's stupid. Every amp sounds the same to me like that.
The amp "demos" I do are with me playing chords, little licks, palm mutes, etc... Then I'll sometimes get comments about how I suck. LOL
