Once at an open mike I watched a guitarist do a screaming shred-fest over "all along the watchtower" only to be told afterwards that the rest of the band had retuned back to standard tuning after they had tuned down a full step at practice and he apparently had not remembered to do so. Played through the whole lead guitar showcase of 10 minute solo without realizing nearly every note was garbage. Some people just don't have ears for it
The balls they have to actually go on stage to play like THAT IS ASTONISHING. I get that folks need to build confidence but they also need to be told ‘come back when you’ve had A LOT MORE PRACTICE’.
he's in a room with three other people rehearsing who are not hearing it either. But they all have equipment. Forced to play the picknick by a wife, or a warehouse/office band thrown together for a function and no one can really play.
erad5 Pretty much. They had all just started taking lessons, and figured a "Live on the Lawn" event at a local music store was the perfect place to show off their newly acquired "skills". Sad story, that store is no longer open. The owner didn't know shit about running a business, and his wife had a bad habit of taking money from the register to get her hair and nails done, so any hired help they had running that trainwreck came out unpaid. They weren't even around when it tanked, they made up some BS about needing to be out of state for something and everything from inside that was tossed out on the street was taken by neighbors or people who would actually appreciate and take care of it.
Mox_au I'm with you F lil waynes useless a$$ trying to pretend he can play guitar. Those guys destroyed an amazing song. I wanted to stab my ears with pencils rather then listen to them. But then I realized that was abit extreme and skipped over them. still..... Screw lil Wayne.
He was actually trying to dictate the beat.I guess the drummer ( if that's what you can call him ) evidently has no clue as to what he's supposed to do...
I was in a high school band. We wanted to play Metallica at the talent show. I made a lot of mistakes but my band didn't seem to care. On the day of the talent show they told me they found a replacement. They could have told me way before. I knew I sucked back then.
The first show I ever played was a high school talent show. We didn’t make it to the show because there was a tryout first, so the tryout was our first show. Probably like these bands , we rehearsed once and I think we spent that time just getting drunk and not playing. Well anyways we sucked so bad we could have easily been on one of these compilations, but at least I realized how bad we were and I vowed to never do that again. Well it ended up happening with another band years later but for the most part we actually practice before we go out
I see Lil' Wayne is taking the minimalist approach to the guitar solo. It really delves deep into the psychological intricacies of the music industry and says a lot about society. Truly a work of art.
I kind of see what you are saying but to me he sounds like he's just learning and when was that ever against the law? Who knows, it might just be in the future.
clowntrooper61 made it ROCK! the blues scale and progression was around way before blacks got a hold of harmonicas and beat up acoustics...it's just a myth...
I love it how the camera zooms in on the vista with the word 'MUSIC' on the building, and the drummers eye peeking out as the guy laughs! - You couldn't make it up!
5 sounds like something you'd hear at guitar center. 4 trying to be soulful....not going too well. 3 basically the same as four. 2 you know when you've only just learned how to play bends but think you're a master at it? yeah that's what this is. 1..... Someone should have told Lil Wayne that 2 notes with inconsistent picking does not count as a solo.
The sad thing about number one is that it was part of a professionally made music video that was released to the public. It's so sad what the music industry has become.
#3: The elements combine in this video to create a pure work of genius. -The painfully ironic misnomer of "MUSIC" on the wall behind them. -The smug laziness of each "performer" clearly believing they've got this one "in the bag". -The awkward wandering of the lead singer, with premeditated jeans hole and sunglasses to protect his bald spot. -Lead guitarist clearly hates David Gilmour and freedom itself. -Bass player wakes up, plucks random notes loudly thus inviting lead singer's tuneless plea.
You know, I suddenly feel better about my soloing. Also the guys on number 3 are awful at playing but they definetly have some negotiation skills with the fact that they managed to get a gig XD
#5 is kind of amazing. How can your technique be that good when the sound you make with it is that bad? That's impressive in itself. I have never seen a worse performance than #3.

I've often wondered when somebody plays this poorly how they can tell when they make a mistake or when they improve because there's not even two consecutive notes that sound like they go together. That in itself is rather difficult to accomplish.
Lil Wayne's solo was so beautiful. So much feeling in those muted notes, they symbolize his troubles in life and how he overcame them. He's so amazing he only needs 2 notes to show he's the best.

Don't pretend to be one....
I once left my guitar switched on while I was in the kitchen getting some lunch. Then I heard this death metal guitar solo coming from the living room. When I went to investigate I found the cat slapping the strings of the guitar with its paws. That sounded 10 times better than anything I heard in this video.
Lil Wayne reminds me of those times when I was REALLY stoned and the gap between two strings was like the grand canyon, and the strings themselves were like drapery cords.
What really sucks is when the person who fucks up rips on you for doing fine. I was in a band for a live gig. The rhythm guitarist/singer wanted to do a song we'd not planned on doing, rehearsed once, months earlier, never really had, but he really wanted to do it. Sure. So, I joked aloud - I don't remember the chords, but I'll follow. It was one of our best songs of the night. The lead guitarist didn't remember it either, never sure when to solo. It was just the three of us. I was on bass and playing a heavy rhythm to keep the beat. The audience was clapping along. The irony - the singer had totally messed up. He'd skipped a solo, forgot a chorus, restarted a verse, and didn't know how to end it. Afterwards he ripped me a new one and how maybe I should have sheet music. Yeah, I got the song fine and kept up with him. The lead guitarist held back playing a few times as he was totally lost. But, yeah, blame me.
Number 3 😂😂😂 My band was playing at that same show! Everytime I drive by this music store (it's closed now) I always smile and pull up the original video for whoever is with me to watch. Good times 😅
Got bad news for you. Limp Biscuit is back. The're doing a tour. This is gonna give "Give Me Something To Break" a whole new meaning as Fred breaks his aging hip while trying to be 20 again.
I used to tell my students - "You don't play guitar with your fingers - you play guitar with your EARS." These people have no ears - they lack the metacognitive ability to realize that they're bad, i.e. they don't know that they don't know. The first guitar player, for example, has arguably plenty of "technical ability" (sweep picking for example), but absolutely NO TONALITY WHATSOEVER
He's creating his own music, If he enjoys it leave him be. Personally if he can play a guitar like that i am pretty confident he can probably learn and play any song you know better than you can.
Maiden Head That's not the point Maiden, so yeah he has the general skills to play songs that were made by someone else but if he has the eventual want-to to make his own music, then it takes an EAR for music as they say. And even when listening to Heavy Metal or thrash metal you can hear a melody in the guitars, in hearing him play that "solo" I didn't hear anything except noise. It's one thing to say your music is good, but its another thing to hear it from someone else.
Jon RT not sure you know what you're talking about either. Let people enjoy what they're doing without being an armchair critic in some kind of ivory tower. What a glorious place to be.
I've been playing around with a guitar for over thirty years and I never once played that badly. And, until now, I don't think I've have ever felt so good about my own musical skills. Evidently, I Rock!
I haven’t laughed this hard in a while! Thank you to whoever put these gems together! I cant get #3 out of my head. I just keep bursting out laughing! My wife thinks im losing it lol.
Takes some nuts to tackle what's generally considered one of the all-time best guitar solos and then make such an irredeemable muck of it. And every member of that band was playing awful.
Number 4 is "Nothing Came Out" by Moldy Peaches - the overdubbed double solo on the album is even better. As someone already commented on here, it is a classic.
#5 wasn't to bad. 4 i think it had to do with his clothing, 3 i think they were just drunk, 2 Fred needs to stick with using his voice and 1 i don't think lil wayne was even playing! lol
I was actually at the Pink Floyd cover band show. It was in Augusta, Ga. for the grand opening of a music store about 15 years ago or so. It was hard to watch. I cannot express how happy i was to find this video 15 years later and to able to experience the magic all over again. Thank you internet.
Simeey These are the same fuckers who preferred Lil' Wayne's playing over Yngwie Malmsteen because he has "feeling" in his guitar playing. Really? You're either trolling or you're just that stupid.
I laughed so hard I threw up, and I’m totally okay with that. I always say I support every musician willing to take the state but dang; number 3; exorcist pea soup would be coming out of my nose sitting live at that concert. I’m sorry I wouldn’t be able to control it. As soon as that one dude started laughing in the crowd, done. The hope and dream is over at keeping any composure.
It's just so wholesome when former rockstar wannabes become dads, then, 18 years later, fill the empty nest back up with good ol' rock'n'roll with the other dads, brings a tear to my eye.
I also cannot even alternative pick without hitting other strings by accident from time to time, and depending on the speed I'm going. Every song I like uses alternative picking and I'm willing to further improve to be able to play with fluidity and make it feel easy for me, just like when I started, playing smoke on the water with bar chords was a tad awkward but everybody learns step by step. Currently learning Walk With Me In Hell - Lamb of God, I've memorized everything but need to work on
So, uh, these are obviously fake, satirical videos, like a lot of others out there ('shred videos'). Am I missing a second level of the joke where everyone comments as if these had the actual audio?

0:59 I love the slow pan down, as if the camera guy is silently saying: "Oh and by the way, get a load of this too. Go ahead and take a gander."
mike lerner? more like MIKE LERNER TO PLAY FUCKING GUITAR!
Ohhhhhh
He plays like a lerner
I was literally thinking the same thing and was about to post the same comment, no lie, lol
I was actually at the Pink Floyd cover band show. It was in Augusta, Ga. for the grand opening of a music store about 15 years ago or so. It was hard to watch. I cannot express how happy i was to find this video 15 years later and to able to experience the magic all over again.
Thank you internet.
idk what's worse, the solo on number 4 or the outfit.
Enlo Marco my fave
I just finished playing Comfortably Numb (the second solo) and then saw this. This is sad. This hurts.
thats why i dont shred mindlessly
He picks light so he don't piss the sound off!
That Comfortably Numb mess is the best worst thing I've ever seen!
Watched it three times - laughed harder each time
Wow! The confidence it must take to perform that badly in front of that many people and continue on. I envy those guys playing comfortably numb.
And that's how Jazz was born.
I cannot believe that some people said Lil Wayne is better then Kirk hammett *FacePalm*
Obvious trolling is obvious... :)
Lil wayne couldnt play guitar to save his life
***** No some of the rap fans are actually serious about it as they have no idea about guitar. .__.
Simeey These are the same fuckers who preferred Lil' Wayne's playing over Yngwie Malmsteen because he has "feeling" in his guitar playing. Really? You're either trolling or you're just that stupid.
Bryan Reyna Ayt stfu, dont want to start argument with you.
"My leather so soft just like Wayne's guitar playing,
He plays so soft."
Like his name implies, hes still learning
#1 hahahahaha ! Watching lil wayne play guitar is like watching a fat chick eat celery
LO-FUCKIN'-L !!
I laughed so hard I threw up, and I’m totally okay with that.
I always say I support every musician willing to take the state but dang; number 3; exorcist pea soup would be coming out of my nose sitting live at that concert. I’m sorry I wouldn’t be able to control it. As soon as that one dude started laughing in the crowd, done. The hope and dream is over at keeping any composure.
Lil Wayne’s solo was the best part of the song
I really like number 4
It's just so wholesome when former rockstar wannabes become dads, then, 18 years later, fill the empty nest back up with good ol' rock'n'roll with the other dads, brings a tear to my eye.
This is the first time in my life I've ever thought, "Fred Durst was the best"
That first one is like your surgeon telling you he's going to try and do your surgery as quickly as possible
I also cannot even alternative pick without hitting other strings by accident from time to time, and depending on the speed I'm going. Every song I like uses alternative picking and I'm willing to further improve to be able to play with fluidity and make it feel easy for me, just like when I started, playing smoke on the water with bar chords was a tad awkward but everybody learns step by step. Currently learning Walk With Me In Hell - Lamb of God, I've memorized everything but need to work on
damn the butchering of comfortably numb. At the point i would of just ran random pentatonic licks
I’m willing to bet the guitarist and bassist don’t know any pentatonic licks..
@@patrickmurphy9186 they also seem to have no concept of key nor time.
So, uh, these are obviously fake, satirical videos, like a lot of others out there ('shred videos'). Am I missing a second level of the joke where everyone comments as if these had the actual audio?
1:09 I wish I could become comfortably deaf
First dudes shown are Behold the Arctopus. Not amateurs by any means, not everybody has the same taste. Variety is the spice of life.
For anyone that wants to play like lil Wayne his guitar is tuned to F-A-G-G-O-T
The guy has a daughter so doubtful.
Being gay and terrible at guitar is two very different things. Checkout Prince's guitar-solo's for an illustration.
A joke that aged like the finest of milks.
The ride cymbal stole the show during comfortably numb.
Gonna play this at my wedding
Number 3 needs more cowbell...
Not even the Flying Spaghetti Monster (our lord and savior) would approve of the amount of noodling taking place here.
Wassup my nigga
“Welcome to Guitar Center”
I was at this Limp Bizlit gig at Finsbury Park in 2003 when Fred played that. It sounded even worse in person.
I feel so much better about my guitar skills after watching this. Thank you!
at least these solos are better than when I TRY to play guitar
I looked up these names and was glad to realize Ive missed nothing.
Having a guitar is like owning a car.
Lots of people can do it, but most people are terrible at it.
"Yeah, I play by ear. Never had one lesson" Say four of the five.
I dig the number 4 solo. Confessions it fits the song better than the actual solo
what is the name of the song and or band?
13 years later and this is still making musicians roll their face on their keyboard and eat crayons.
The reason I watched this is I was hoping I didn't see me on there. WHEW.
I was gonna say I could do worse but then those guys pretending to play Comfortably Numb came on and I decided I couldn't. lol
Wow... that's inspiring... maybe i'm not so bad after all. Yay!
That guy at 1:22 is a legend.
