Sometimes I will see a photo of someone posing with a guitar or bass, and it annoys me to see that they are clearly not playing it.

 

 

Thumb on the strings.  The other fingers holding the guitar up. No strap. 

 

 

Am I the only person who is annoyed by this sort of thing? Probably....

I must admit to being rather irked whenever I see how the bass player was generated on the Enterprise-D's holodeck.

Life's too short to get upset about it. If people want to make themselves look stoopid, it's a free country.

The misplaced capo is the least annoying thing is this photo.

I hear ya. You’d think they could find a pupil who actually plays guitar to advertise stuff like, er, playing a guitar.

If he knew how to play, he wouldn't need to go to the school

This was on at the weekend and always bugged me. I'm sure he did it for comic effect, but Larvell Jones (Michael Wilmslow) "playing" bass on the back of a Strat?

Rockin' all over the world? 

 

Not if she's in the band, you won't be.

Not as much as children airing their parent's political views on the News.

Good thing they miked up the bass head though. Everyone knows that's where the tone comes from.

A very different four letter word that begins with ’C’ came to my mind 🤐

I like D9sus4/A, as for the rest of the picture, I've shut that out like all the other unhealed trauma 🤪
