bass_dinger Posted October 14 Posted October 14 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.... 3 Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted October 14 Posted October 14 I must admit to being rather irked whenever I see how the bass player was generated on the Enterprise-D's holodeck. Quote

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

Huge Hands Posted October 15 Posted October 15 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? jgszgrxj6lg41.mp4 Quote

TimR Posted October 15 Posted October 15 Not as much as children airing their parent's political views on the News. Quote

casapete Posted October 15 Posted October 15 I’m sure most of our older members recall John Peel ‘playing’ mandolin on this on TOTP. Quote

neepheid Posted October 15 Posted October 15 Eh, it just makes me laugh. The more ridiculously unviable it is, the bigger the laugh 1 Quote
Norris Posted October 15 Posted October 15 (edited) It's like the advert that's on at the moment where a young kid is playing a strat, then jumps on a pedal. The guitar sounds exactly the same. So he jumps on it again... and it still sounds the same. Just looked it up... EDF advert Edit: apparently he can actually play a guitar though Edited October 15 by Norris Quote
