keep your Line6 Spyder away from me bro
Hey you should read Rain(webcomic) by Jocelyn Samara
I call them cork sniffers.
can i get a discount on your course?
"I only use the most expensive amps. All tube amps are garbage"
You should’ve done the Gibson snob, you know, the guy who only buys Gibson’s made in Kalamazoo and doesn’t touch Nashville made ones?
People who belittle beginners for playing basic riffs
Same. I never played basic riffs and "overplayed" songs due to the fear of being made fun of.
Astolfo please dont be they’ll just see u as a beginner
@@anuvette I on the other hand have made it my mission to learn all the overplayed songs and riffs. I relish on the agony of players who they annoy.
Sorry I forgot to add that it was when I was a beginner. I later changed my mind and learned them because I honestly love some of the songs. Especially seven nations army because it's a very popular football chant
The only time I have an issue with beginners is when they play too loud or think they're amazing. Other than that, everyone starts somewhere so I don't really mind
Definitely missing the theory snob, who won't even talk to you about guitar unless you can identify a weird chord that sounds like an algebraic expression
The theory snob"WHAT? you don't know what are the chords for a C# Lydian with a raised 4th is??? Are you an amateur??" and his mirror reflection the Anti-theory snob "theory just limits your creativity man! Just..feeeeeeeeeelllll"
Though, I mean, if you're gonna play guitar, why not just learn chord naming conventions? It really isn't very hard at all if you know the conventions and they aren't that complicated. But hey each to their own.
Aka Jazz elitists 🙄
@@fahadalghamdi9316 Spot on, I'd say anti theory is by far more prevalent. "Theory will limit my natural creativity..." ...
Don't even get him started on tabs
The obvious one that I haven't seen mentioned...."the 'tonewood' snob."
My favourite is that "Rosewood fingerboard has a deep tone"
@@torzsokszilveszter2444 love the feel of rosewood but if anyone thinks it makes much of a tone difference if any shouldnt be allowed to drive.
@@torzsokszilveszter2444 I like maple fingerboards more just because the look better imo. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference😂
You need to understand that the only good tones come from a thousand year old tree in an endangered species that only exists in a small area in the deepest African jungles. Anything else is useless.
@@toshineon And if you can't hear the difference, man, there's something wrong with you! 😀
I saw a sadly accurate example of the Nationality Snob in a review of a bass once. It was along the lines of, "This bass was incredible, it felt great to play, the finish was flawless, the sound was amazing. I would have given it 5 stars but then I discovered it was made in Indonesia, so I've knocked it down to 4."
The "loaded parents bought my guitar" snob, you know , the kid with the Gibson SG Special who makes fun of the kid who mowed lawns all summer for a used Fender strat at the pawn shop.
Ah yes. The satisfaction with those spoiled types is that ultimately that guitar will sit in the corner gathering dust for 6 - 12months once little jimmy realises expensive guitars dont make you *insert rock god here* and eventually finds its way at a massive loss to someone like me via ebay. Whislt the used fender will be loved and cherished because the kid thats brought it earned it and is less likely to give up at the first sign of adversity.
@@Joelay101 The Fender guy will definitely more likely become a rock god itself. Or a guitar god, at least...
Used Fender Strat is not that bad, actually. Much better than brand new chinese Fender Strat knockoff for $120
Ik how the lawn kid feels but I started building and trading
SG Special 🤢
The “no your playing it wrong snob” then they proceed to play it wrong.
oh yes! my guitar teacher!
That’s my friend up and down! XD
Sadly, its true! You have NO idea, how many people came into my shop and played Smoke On The Water wrong! (I even had to teach my BOSS, who is the head educator how to play it, as he too, played the riff incorrectly! (70s rock is my specialty!))
“nO OBamA You’RE dOinG iT wROnG”
*you're
I replaced a lead guitarist in a local band who was a touch snobby.
None of the members knew his parts and didn't have enough time to teach me their album.
I had to learn their album from start to finish then at the first gig i played with them the ex guitarist showed up, found himself a spot directly infront of me and carefully analysed my playing all night.
Whist i was having my post show beer he approached me and started correcting any riff I played even slightly incorrectly and interrogated me based on my choice of guitar.
When we were in the process of writing a follow up album he kept texting the band to offer to write songs, as if I didn't know how to write a fucking metalcore song.
You sound as much like a guitar snob as any lmao
@@chetsenior7253 I mean personally I'm not opposed to it, nor am I a fan, but I prefer Melo-deth or thrash/black metal.
The music genre snob is the one that gets me most. Also the technical snob that craps on songs if they don't have a million notes played weirdly in them and won't entertain the idea that just because a song has a simple structure in it, doesn't automatically make it a bad song.
can this snob pick up an acoustic guitar and entertain a group who just wants to sing-along??
Fuckin hate these guys. They're why I never open the comments section on music instagram.
When I bought my Telecaster, I had an American and a Mexican that my choice was between. I had the guitar store employee help me out in a blind test to see which I liked more. I closed my eyes and tried both guitars, and the Mexican one had a better feel and sound, so I bought it instead. I would have spent a grand for the American one that I didn't like as much, opposed to $700 for what is still my favourite guitar.
Good salesman.
@@snoopyguy21 He was probably upset that he didn't make more off commission, but he was extremely helpful to me.
@@hamshankscps1049 he made the more reliable sale instead of trying to go for the higher commission.
@@snoopyguy21 Yup! Good service like that means you'll go back to that particular salesman time after time......
Dude this is uncanny, same exact thing happened to me but with a strat. I’ve never played a guitar that sounds better than my mim strat.
The Tuning Snob: The guy who considers open tunings, drop tunings, and even the use of a capo as cheating.
Or that those tunings are useless. "Just use standard"
"Only depressed suburban kids who shop at hot topic and listen to Slipknot play drop d tuning." -- Snob from the year 2000
Omg yes!
Or the ones who use all "special tunings" and therefore if you don't, you are "old".
Me: *dances in open D*
My first guitar was an offbrand strat. The next christmas after i learned basic riffs i got an epiphone sg. Best guitar i’ve ever owned
Tyler. You are a brilliant musician, and make absolutely hilarious videos. Everything you have mentioned here is so true. Been to some stores, and the have seen this very thing. I’m 67 and have been playing for about 48 years. Totally enjoy your work. It makes me laugh. Thanks.
The look that says "I don't knew who I idolize more between M Shadows and Tom Waits, so I just aspire to become both of them at once"
Haha 69 likes
@Bryan Charles oh yeah. For the record I consider what I said to be a compliment... I have mad respect for both of those dudes. They've def accomplished more than anyone I know. 😎
@Bryan Charles that's a lotta close 2nds lol, but after all it's pretty reasonable for Waits... He's probably one of the more underrated artists in the history of recorded music
I'm a huge A7X fan and I will always say Matt has one of the most dynamic voices I've ever heard
I have never heard a more accurate description of an outfit/vibe! Well done.
There is also the opposite: the guy that will call every guitars that does not have 24 strings, fanned frets and the lastest active pickups on the market a "grampa instrument".
"It doesn´t have a sustainiac neck pickup with an active EMG split coil neck humbucker, 8 strings evertune bridge with piezo pickup, touch MIDI tone filter controller with stereo output and locking tuners? Man, my grandfather´s grandfather used to play that Jackson King V."
Man I hate those guys. Fanned frets and active pickups suck anyway
@@nehemiahzo_ fanned frets are sick actually since it makes doing some chords a little bit more natural but yeah active pickups aren't my thing
Communalcamp968 Benny checa I’ve never really tried fanned frets, but I’ve heard that they throw off the notes. Is that true?
@@nehemiahzo_ not necessarily, even on a normal guitar the notes are thrown off,if you want a guitar with which you can play notes spot on buy a squiggly fretted one (true temperament guitar),the idea of a fanned fretted guitar is to have equal tension on each string,in order to do that they make the distance between the nut and bridge longer for the thicker strings,so let's say there's a fan fretted guitar,the high E will have the regular scale length,the B will have a longer scale length to even out the tension,the G will have a longer scale length,and so on and so on.
Sure maybe on the bends you're gonna get something weird but I doubt it,the only place you're gonna have issues with are the frets above 18, especially on a 24 fretted one,I cannot comprehend how people got used to those frets.
This describes most guitarists. In fact there's a little snob in all of us. Wether the beast is unleashed is on the individual /m/
"I need a new pick, this is broken." Best laugh today, thanks brotha
Me looking at someone’s beat up cheap guitar: „dude your guitar is awesome can I play it?“
I think this was just an excuse for him to flex his guitar collection
Would you blame him? It's a nice collection, lol.
@@TheWrathsblade I wouldn't
You must be new here
Like every video? Hehe. Tbh I kinda like it for his other videos because they're like time stamps.
@@freq9939 Do you know his address? If you do contact me on the Dark net.
I can’t help but notice Tyler looks an awful lot like all these snobs he’s showing us, do you have something to tell us.
U r the first lol
pepsi and vaccines contain soylent green
what are you insinuating sir
@@MusicisWin lots of brothers!
Getting rumdy amdobe vibes here
I've experienced #5. Years ago I was picking up my '93 Fender MIM Strat from a music shop after having some work done. The Luthier brought my guitar out from the back room and went over his work while a sales guy (who looked like Ned Flanders) stood nearby. After the Luthier left, the sales guy was told to ring me up and while I was paying for the work the sales guy was looking at my guitar and commented that it was a nice Strat. Then, as I was closing the guitar case, he abruptly stated, "Wait!" and he pointed to the "Made In Mexico" decal on the headstock and said that he hadn't noticed that the guitar was a Mexican model and commented that the guitar was not as nice as he first thought.
The effects snob: those that only play with a million and one effect pedals because they don’t want you to know they can’t play at all. Don’t get me wrong, effects are nice and all, but if all you’re doing is playing one string or playing like 3 power chords and using a pedal to make you sound like you know what you’re doing, then you need to practice more.
Yes. I never play with more than two effects at a time, and the most common pair I use is distortion and flanger
As a shoegazer i agree and disagree at the same time. Because on one hand yeah people who use a bunch of pedals just to mask that they cant do shit suck especially if they claim they're good. However if a person uses guitar pedals because they like the sound and know what chord voicings to use and when and being able to identify exactly how to get the tone that they are looking for i would say that they are a good guitar player. Additionally i also see the side which just says "why dont you just play a synth" i have been asked this and in response i said quote "guitar has strings feel good" Either way i can agree with you chaps. Sorry if this is long winded i just wamted to share my view.
Emilio ocotl well yea. Like Metallica obviously uses a wah pedal mixed with distortions and they sound awesome live. They also play clean and sound just as great. And you got bands like Pink Floyd that uses effects but still sound VERY good. Then you got the bands that just hammer and use effects and play power chords with DEEP distortion because they suck and can’t play any better. Perfect examples I can think of are bands like linkin park and papa roach and deftones. I always HATED those bands.
No pedal will make you sound like you know what you're doing when you only know 3 power chords. You don't even know wtf you're talking about 🤣
@@J.C... did I just touch a nerve with you?
I think playing guitar left handed actually makes you immune to being a guitar snob, like I’ll literally use anything aslong as I can play it
I am a fellow lefty and I don't shun anyone who uses a unknowned guitar brand
@@ctom0641 same
I can't imagine your struggle. They seriously make barely anything left-handed. At least as far as color and body shape is concerned. Plus shops rarely have more than two or three of them. So you either have to buy online or settle for something that has strings and pickups.
Are you sure, I'm not about myself. :D I was adamant about getting an Ibanez and only Ibanez as my first guitar. Narrowed my choices quite a bit. :D And would be another snob sign choosing an old Japan made one over new Indonesian one...? Kinda the only demand not met would be a different bridge (meant to buy fixed, ended up with a Floyd Rose).
Though I know I will consider other brands when I'm hunting for the second one. I feel like my life won't be complete without having a Flying V. :D
@@MuppetVT In compare to right-handed, they really don't. I wanted an Ibanez and it was like 10 guitars to choose from (if we're talking new). Though Solar has even less - they have around 100 options for "normal" people and exactly 3 for lefties - all boring matte black, Superstrat, Flying V and 7-string. Very hard to choose from such a vast collection... :D
And I did end up buying online as our local shop (small) had only one lefty (electric, didn't ask about acoustic) and I didn't like that - didn't like the colour, the finish nor the shape :D).
The only one you didn't mention is the Acoustic Snob. "What, your guitar runs on electricity? What's next, electric cars?"
Electric organ? Electric piano? 😱
and using computers +interfaces instead of tape machines?
Electric-acoustic guitars?
Lol! You just described a big chunk of the classical guitar community.
Sad elon musk noises
I was a protection snob for a while, but then I got a more steady job and enjoyed playing more and started (slowly) to put them on racks and hooks on the walls. Some I still keep in the case because I don’t want to have to dust them off because of how little I play them, but otherwise I sell what I don’t like, play what I do, and keep what’s rare.
I really enjoyed this video, and the twist at the end was hilarious! keep it up, my guyyyyy
What if I'm all of them? o_O
You are a next level Ola, you even started your own guitar factory. That's hard to beat.
Ola is a burp snob. He started his own guitar company just so he could add stomach gas to his brand.
Atleast you know how to turn a garbage into gold. Unlike Tyler 😂😂😂
No worries, help is on the way.
your comment sections are sometimes filled with guitar snobs
Only Blayze can pull off the snob style perfectly.
Lemon Grass SAME HERE
marty music, Paul davids, Sean Daniel, music is win, guitar pilgrim, and samurai guitarist, to name a few
agreed
Massive Fun! Keep ‘em coming.
"Guitarists with a huge collection are snobs", he said, standing in front of the wall of guitars
Overheard a guy in GC one time who couldn’t go six seconds without mentioning how expensive his private stock PRS was and how important it was that it be taken good care of because it’s a private stock PRS.
Ewwwwwwww
That's what I don't like about the PRS community. I own an SE and dont brag, I just say its a great guitar. I would love me a private stock
Anyone that goes on about a Private Stock PRS, are by default themselves, a PoS.
You overheard a guy talking about guitars in Golden Corral? Weird
@@TheWrathsblade or lying.
Another snob: acoustic guitar players who think metal is talent less when all they can play is wonder wall
I've met the tuning snob before. Spent more time tuning than recording and trying to get ideas down. I'm like "this guy must have amazing hearing cause it sounds fine to me". Ha, ive come to realize that I don't think there is such thing as a perfect tune on a guitar.
I have met them at school. Even though I kicked their ass, they thought that they won because could play stairway to heaven (and horridly)
@@onehellofaboredguitarist4287 No Stairway!
Pick up their acoustic.
Play them the intro sequence to "Black Horsemen" by King Diamond.
Hand their acoustic back to them with a drool bib.
Or blackbird
Excellent, Tyler!!
Literally never met any of these people. I still play a squire strat and everyone's still chill w me.
And there's the wannabe snob: the guy that wants to be a snob but can't afford the gear to be one.
LOL,....But a true snob wouldn't allow that to stop them,..they simply get on the net and crank up their snobbery anyway.
GOJU RYU!
@@nuclearsenshi 👊
me, neither can afford the skill, nor has good technique, it's the theory snob
Yeah I am
The price snob: the guy that won’t buy any guitar under 3,000 but he doesn’t know the difference between a $3,000 or a $450 guitar
One of the best comments.
I’m not a price snob mate
Honestly after about 750 its probably a case of deminishing returns
@@ApertureWarrior
That is Exactly right....After 750.00 - 800.00 you start paying for something that is hard to identify tangibly.
@@stricknine8623 After that, you're paying FOR the name! * Cough cough FENDER! * * Cough cough GIBSON!! *
Love you man! Keep’m commin’ 😊
Theres also people saying that single coils are trash and humbuckers are the only way to go.
@Jeremiah Sutherland both are great i have a guitar with single coils only and humbuckers only. The sound is different but both sounds are awesome.
When your guitar is in tune and the “Expert” tells you it isn’t and then proceeds to un-tune it.
that's my dad, and he's a drummer lol, its like no... that's what this chord sounds like
I KNOW BRO
I own an airplane which I’ll occasionally take to shows. The worst thing I hear is “Oh, buddy, is this your plane? Oh it is? Good, I just straightened out this bit on the back, it was out of line.” Then, after the show, I have to spend a good 30 minutes trying to re-trim my airplane.
Some eight year old kid told me my guitar is out of tune, i felt terrible after that
@@corruptedholiness8995 lol
Pretty sure most of us feel some of these ways. Having nice gear is cool. It takes a lot of time but I don't think I had more fun than when I was nailing Green Day by ear in middle school on my Epiphone SG and Beringher amp.
Great one Tyler!!! This is great content!!! And so funny!!!
If you look closely you can see there is actually one type here: PRS snob. Ah, wait.
Right! lol
I identify as a PRS snob.
honestly, if it holds tuning well...i'll play it.
And if not I'll bend it in. Still playing it, 'cause, well, it's a guitar after all.
I live by my own personal motto:
“If I can afford it, I’ll play it.”
@@ayjay579 me too
@@ayjay579 Same
that's half the reason I mostly use Floyd Rose and not everyone cuz I use the trem
alot and I can't afford evertune
I use coiled cables for one reason and one reason only. HENDRIX AT MONTEREY!!!
They just looked so cool. You want gear that gets you stoked to play.
I love your content kerp it up
"Harley Benton is trash/Squier is trash/Epiphone is average at best."
I had one like that at my school dorm, he had an old american made les paul.
I still outplayed him in the soloing contest, with my affordable Harley Benton 335 copy.
Tools aren't as important as the artisan.
Take your usual Gibson-Les Paul Snob. Is around 50 years old, owns a 6.000 bucks reissue, owns an old Marshal Tube Amp, can‘t play anything besides „Sweet Child o‘ mine“. And that is the exact same guy who talks shit about everything new Gibson is producing, forcing them to produce the same crap over and over again while not buying anything, forcing the company to go bankrupt.
@@flowryan5829 *intro to Sweet Child o Mine, because that same guy can't bend enough because he's afraid to damage the frets
My harley benton strat was great but my harley benton flying v was a lemon, theyre kinda like cars, you never know.
Gimme the most expensive guitar ever made, and I'll show you, how bad it is in my hands
Been really eyeballing Harley benton's telecaster lineup.
The laugh at the end is the exact reason why I love this channel because Tyler is himself and loves what he’s doing.
Yep, worked as a recording engineer for many years. Came across all of these!
Every time I watch one of your videos, I get this incontrollable urge to drop everything and play.
I once talked to guy while I was holding my 1962 vintage jaguar, and he said “I hate your guitar, it’s a fender.”
He said that. About a 62 Jag. That's sad that somebody would belittle it just because its Fender
Snobs are terrible the only time I had someone insulting my Cobain jaguar it’s my main guitar. But he doesn’t play guitar or know anything about it. I wasn’t having it so it did pissed me off. But I like how that jaguar plays and sounds it’s awesome for me. He said that it’s not a real guitar I told him to fuck off.
It's a Jag!!! How could you do that?
Bryan Charles Well dude not every single piece guitar are all that strong. Imagine you need a neck replacement.
Bryan Charles Honestly dude you shouldn’t have such negativity towards any electric guitar unless it’s an absolute lemon. But other than that you’re missing out man
May I introduce: The Tyler
PRS > literaly everything other than PRS
He is officially endorsed by PRS. And if you talk shit about PRS you either never played one or know nothing about guitars.
@@baldbearded9601 Or they are just giving their opinion. People are allowed to have opinions, no matter how unsubstantiated they are. I personally don't like PRS, mainly for the sound. I don't think they sound as good as other guitars on the market. I also don't like the price of a lot of PRS guitars. And, the only PRS' I've been able to play had glossy necks which were sticky and just felt wrong. I don't base my opinion off of those experiences, though, because if I did, my opinion would be based off of two experiences at my local guitar center, which would be very unfair to the brand
@@isaacthecorncob Why do you actually defend this guy? You actually gave your opinion. He just insulted people while making a dumb joke.
And at least you have a reason to dislike it. It can't please everyone! But you didn't talk shit about it. If you know guitars, you will have noticed the quality of build of PRS guitars. They are the most consistent in terms of quality. Way ahead of the big brands unless you go "custom shops" kinda stuff.
If you tell someone PRS is trash, you instantly showcase your absolute ignorance in terms of guitar quality. I stand by that.
And I commented because OP seemed surprised that Tyler prioritises PRS.. well he's an endorsed artist.. duh!
Cheers
@@isaacthecorncob why does everyone keep playing the "opinion" card as if people are supposed to be quiet while they give they "opinion?" Commenting on an opinion isn't suppressing the right to an opinion, it is itself an opinion. That's the thing about opinions, they're subjective, therefore opinions can be discussed with other opinions if they don't agree with said opinion, and if I say "opinion" 2 more times, I'd have said "opinion" 12 times in this whole opinionated response.
Bald & Bearded hmmm... sounds like we got a Tyler in the chat
My grandma has this 1964 epiphone Gibson guitar as well as the amp to go along with it. It is extremely rare and also my precious
That's actually a very nice video. Thank you.
I can spot them in the audience whenever I play a show: arms crossed or some other defensive posture while everyone else is jamming.
I always have my arms crossed when I stand to see bands or other type of musicians :c
Reminds me of a G3 show. 😂
Another one is guitar players who always remind everyone that they play out
Nice. Of course, that could just be the guy who's girlfriend has a little crush on the singer.
Hey there "rock star" I play and watch shows and I cross my arms when i watch I'm appreciating what I'm seeing possibly pick up a trick or two , hope I didn't upset you "rock star" maybe take it as a compliment
The "brand snob" comes to mind. The guy who says "gibson (or insert other brand) is the only guitar worth having" and wont even fathom trying other brands
A close relative to the Nationality Snob, the Brand Snob will vilify any off brand company that copies their beloved brand's guitar even in the face of overwhelming evidence that the off brand guitar offers the same, if not better playing experience at a fraction of the cost.
See: the PRS silver sky for an example of those coming out of the wood works
Just do NOT mention any of the brands flaws to the Brand Snob as they will rant for three and a half hours about how the flaws aren't actually flaws from the brand, but rather caused by the owner for "not treating the instrument properly"
1. Jackson USA Custom Shop/ESP Custom Shop
2. Jackson USA Artist/ESP Signature
3. Jackson USA Select/ESP "Series" line/Charvel USA
Best products, best customer service, and appreciating rapidly.
Gibson was the worst customer service experience that I've ever dealt with.
I don't care if Jimmy Page played a Les Paul.
I don’t like the way he portrayed the nationality snob. There are more people who refuse to play any American guitar than people who only play American guitars.
Maybe appropriate statement here. I'm late 70's I made an emergency Sears catalog order with 2 day store delivery. Just moved across 2 states, My possessions couldn't be found. I shared the moving company truck with another family moving to the same state. I ordered a no name Sears Les Paul copy for $79.00 for a gig in 3 days. It was a beautiful red sunburst, bolt on neck, and single coils hidden in humbucker cases. Set it up, replaced strings, played it at gig. Once I tweaked the eq on the borrowed amp it was a HOOT to play. Some tuning problems. I liked it so much I upgraded the tuners and pickups and played it for years on specific songs at gigs. It was stolen as we loaded in a gig. Funny thing, it was worth the least of anything in the van. That guitar showed me the name on the headstock didn't mean much then, and less now. I have big name gear but also some less desirable names too.
That tone at 3:00 is unmatched bruh
What about string snobs, where it has to be a certain material string or its trash?
1) unocated strings only
2) string gauge snobs
@@thenoobyXD the uncoated snobs bother me the most cause I cant play uncoated for more than a month (sweaty hands)
I’m kinda like that. I only use Ernie ball 9-42 paradigms, and can feel the difference between paradigms and other string types
Rotosound is the only bass string you should ever use! Lol
Currently have Elixirs on one guitar. Ernie balls on the other because I have sweaty hands and wanted to see the difference. Been about 3-4 weeks. Ernie balls are black. Elixirs look fine. Some people can't stand the feel or tone but idk man I think I'm just gonna keep using Elixirs.
Type 9: if you don’t play a song note fir note they get genuinely pissed at you.
I did a one off show for this amazing teen singer doing a showcase or something and she wanted to do Paramore, Still Into You. A guy came up to me after the set and was saying it sounded good, but he couldn't help but notice I was hitting a wrong chord in the chorus or something. I was like oh? what chord. He said well I saw you were on the 2nd fret , but that chord is E. Something to that effect. I said wellllll...the song is in drop D so I was playing E. Like dude, did it sound wrong or just look wrong? Use your ears. Notice that low D in the bridge how do you think you hit that low note?
Eliju lmao I was playing Johnny b Goode at my grandparents party once cuz they asked if i could play for a while and entertain ppl with a band of old musicians they knew. I don’t play the Johnny b Goode intro or solo note fir note I play the way that I think sounds good but after we were done playing some guy was like u played the intro wrong and I was like oh what part and what r the correct notes and he was just like idk I don’t play guitar...like ok damn (and the way I play it is close enough I can play it over the actual song and get a pretty good match)
This kind makes me the most angry. Like if I wanted to hear it sound exactly the same as the original, I would just listen to the original.
Eliju whats drop d?
Nicolas Samanez it’s where u take the letter d from a scrabble set and you drop it
Stuck in time snob: **exists**
My Schecter Hellraiser C7 FR: **nervous sweating intensifies**
Well, this was entertaining, funny and scarily on the point xD You got a new subcribe.
The similarity between all of the snobs in the list is that they have all the money in the world
"Acoustics shouldn't have a cutaway" snob
I love the Martin players who scoff at my Carlo Robelli, until they see it has locking Grover tuners, a bone nut, bone bridge tailpiece, and fretboard so oiled that it looks like kitchen table.
Cutaway guitars are amazing, like bruh I wanna be able to play 3-string barres on fret 16, thanks. As a fingerstyle player, being limited to barre only ip to fret-14 would suck.
I got a squire telecaster and restored it and put a seymour duncan hotrails pickup in the bridge. This is one of my favorite guitars, sounding good is sounding good. And it is very transverse. If you can sound good with something, that's what you want.
The MUSIC IS WIN channel is great editor and great guitarist
My first teacher was definitely "the protective snob". I remember he had tonnes of cases around the walls of his garage/studio. One day I broke my first electric (les paul epiphone plustop) and he had told me he was wanting to sell one of his old ones, and all of a sudden brings out what was about to be my second guitar- PRS SE. Cool dude, thanks Steve.
I was laughing, until I identified myself as the "Stuck in time snob".
Oh Shit.
Same :(
Funny is when one of those guys meets a sales guy who is also one.. It becomes a comedy show. There are no limits and so funny to watch.
Remember once at my local shop. They were talking gear. It was model numbers here and years things were made there and where they were made and who invented and so on.. I just stood and listened and had a great time. Loved it. Nerds incorporated. It really made my day.😊
2:56 ok but this riff is awesome
i like how when he plays bad he doesn't mute any strings
The true mark of poor execution. It hurts how terrible it is lol
Don't forget the name dropping snob.
"I was talking to my friend _______ who is the guitar tech for __________ and he says that __________ only uses vintage guitars with Vintage Marshall plexi amps. He mics them with $2k mics and he says he'd never use anything else. I told him you mic your solid state amp with SM57's and he says no one in the industry uses those anymore because they're crap."
That's sorta me. I geek out on tech specs, but I can't play much beyond power chords.
Right now we are living in a golden age of amplifiers. There are so many companies out there making really good boutique amps. I was a Marshall snob until I played a Blackstar. Turns out it was a really decent little amplifier. Perfect for playing at home. So I can be reasoned with. But I will still say this. Nothing beats playing my original 78 Les Paul through a 100 Watt Marshall 1959 stack. The only problem I have with using a Marshall is being able to play with an erection! 🤘😎🎸
That guy sounds fun at parties
Same here.
Love it!
New title: Tyler flexing us his guitar collection and indirectly calling us poor
lmao
I think that everyone has a tad bit of guitar snob in them one way or another
Sad but true
It’s Solid State Amos and Active pickups for me...
Is there a rehab for Guitar snobs?
I’m number 8
Being an internal snob is fine but being a snob to others is a no no
Yes and no, there is a difference between being a snob and having a preference. It's when you belittle things you don't like because they aren't what you like that it becomes snobby.
Example, I really don't like flying V's. I think they look stupid, and I also don't like bolt on necks, and i prefer rosewood fret boards. These just aren't my cup of tea. But if someone were to hand me a flying v with a bolt on neck and a standard maple fretboard my first instinct wouldn't be to beat it across every available surface and burn the remains, I'd still plug it in and try it.
That ending was pretty good!
I knew a guy that was collecting unique guitars. "This one is one of five produced" and so on. A couple of months ago his house burnt down with the gouitars and himself inside.
Here’s another: the Electrician. The Electrician believes that the only real guitars worth playing are electric guitars. Acoustic guitars, to the Electrician, are a crime against humanity and ought to be outlawed.
I work on power grids, and spent a decade owning only a hollowbody electric and an acoustic, no amp. This comment took me for a ride.
I hear more people who are snobs against electric honestly.
I've actually gotten it the other way around that distortion is a quick one way trip to hell 😂😅🤷♀️
Let's not forget Dylan Goes Electric and the acoustic snobbery of the Folkies at the time.
Tyler: The PRS Snob
There was a point in time where I’d gotten a huge promotion at work, and was making about 4 times more money that I had been previously and I started buying a guitar or amp about every month for a year or so. The guys I was in a band with labeled me a guitar snob because I was going out and buying so much gear and felt as though I was rubbing their faces in shit by doing something that made me happy.
Yeah it pays just to keep it to yourself and not even mention it because people automatically get jealous
They were jelly because they are losers.
Great video, as you can imagine I know some of those in person and maybe a little of some is in all of us. Anyhow I like to add a type which I experianced only once so far, so a rare snob: It is the "all stock pick ups are crap" snob and told me that he dislikes all stock pick ups and is constandly swapping and more important he of course was pointing out that my Gibson 498 in my SG was shit...
" all Steve Vai does is play a million notes per second. he has no feel"
I go out of my way to argue with people who say that. I feel like I can make that argument about many guitarist, but not Vai.
Ahh yes, the "Everyone is pretentious except me" snob. These guys are real easy to identify, just ask them what pretentious means and they will verbally crap themselves.
Jared Dines has no feel.
Roasted.
Aaron Archual it’s a meme Tyler made ages ago
Basically any guitarist who can shred. People also accuse John Petrucci and I am like have you not heard A Change of Seasons, The Spirit Carries On or Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence because how can you listen to those and say he has no feel? I think this all started with Yngvie and then started spreading to other guitarists since then(Not saying Yngvie has no feel, but I feel he is the first high profile guitarist to be seen as having no feel)
I can totally understand the "nationality guy". I'm french dreaming of an american made les paul but i know some peoples who will play only on french made guitars just to support local luthiers, i think thats a pretty cool thing to do if you ask me ! but yeah if some peoples do this just out of snobism i can totally understand how this type of person ende up in the video
Yeah, there are a lot of jerks who don't believe that a guitar from any country other than [Insert country name] could ever be good
A French man speaking fluently English? Come on, man. Don't try to fool us!
Dan Kay a lot of europeans speak multiple languages fluently
@@khimcleod3459
I am European, live right next to France and know VERY WELL how many percent of French people speak English.
All the best...
@@dankay7982 Fluently ?? thank you so much haha
The glitch edit and the smile at the end made it all worth it.
Delightful...and delightfully accurate.
The "If it doesn't have 3 barrel saddles it's not a Tele" snob
the "Authenticity Snob", I believe we should call it
I feel personally attacked.
When I was in college I had someone count my frets telling me there was not as many as his, so mine must a 3/4, then time passed and I got a bc rich warlock and he said it was fake because he did not recognise the serial number.
Should've said, "Do you recognize this?" and bashed him with it
@@troysmithfr lol
Yeah, certain staff at guitar shops, especially the big ones...One day I'd love to go in there and rock out something crazy from Sabb's Heaven And Hell just to shake 'em up a bit. 😇
I love all guitars and pedals
"The Nationality Snob" implies something a whole lot worse than someone who's picky about where their gear was made
Right?
Because humidity, right?
Guitar companies perpetuate this. Whenever they're selling to a price-point, they offshore the build and downgrade the hardware. Are we really supposed to believe that Indonesians and Koreans don't know how to carve wood properly!
@@paulapplewhite6135 Exactly. I wouldn't buy an overseas PRS, not because I doubt they're well made, but I know they skimp on certain things and I'd rather just pay more and have any corners cut. My mexi strat plays great, but the electronics were terrible. Upgraded to SSL-1s and now it sings.
9: The one who mocks players for not knowing anything about music theory
( Im number 10: the one who is genuinly interested in music theory and no matter if you are interested or not, i will explain everything about music theory i know)
Ever meet the one who knocks players for knowing theory?
"Bah, I didn't use that stuff and I'm good!"
Bruh me too
ok obi wan
Honestly I'd rather run into the guy who explains theory rather than mocks you for not knowing cause then I actually learn something from it!
I have an acoustic guitar and this x-mas my mum and dad said I could get a electric guitar
The one about "this guy'd rather slap his mother than be caught playing a post-CBS takeover Fender" cracked me up.
You forgot "The Jazz Player".
These are in the videos about players, this is about gear snobs. :)
Pin this comment, this is #9!
jazz is good
"I only play 13's, 12's are for pussies" -Jazz Snob
As a guitar tech: The low action snob, comes back after a setup because action is not low enough, then comes back because he experiences fretbuzz, then comes back because he want lower action, etc, etc..
if he cant do a basic setup himself then what the fuck lmao
Tell him he needs his frets leveled and it'll be a few thousand dollars, then he will leave you alone
I got my tele from one of those guys. First thing I did when I got it was raise the strings of the frets.
Hey man. After seeing the amount of guitars on your wall, you made me think of another snob....the hoarder... uh-um!! "Collector" snob. ;)
I used to be a vintage gear snob that would scoff at people for using a POD, yet I was super crap at guitar. Luckily I got over that phase, and now I'm just a normal guy that's super crap at guitar
The Type Snob: Certain types of guitars are only allowed to play certain types of music. You cant play metal on a tele, idc if it has humbuckers. You cant play blues with an explorer. You cant play country with a flying v.
But can you play brutal deathcore infused black metal on vintage Fender?
Swap the pickups and you can play whatever you want on whatever you want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Pick thickness, string core, cable length, cable tyoe, string Guage, single coil, humbucker, pickup pole height, active pickups, intonation, how much pressure is applied whne fretting, what part of your finger frets the strings, how you hold the neck, how you angle the pick, the Amp head you use, the speaker(s) used, speaker combination, cabinet angle, raised off the ground or not, what tubes do you use if any, scale length of the guitar, tremolo system or not, bone nut or metal, how high is your action, and so many other questions are too be asked to really Guage the sound one makes with a guitar.
A guitar is merely a tool.
If it's not an acoustic then you're not playing guitar.
You're manipulating the frequencies emitting from the speaker.
The notes just happen to be on the guitar.
Which is why you don't focus on them as much as the sound.
I mean, you don't focus on the inflection of certain letters or words as you're speaking do you?
Because playing guitar is akin to speaking because music is literally a whole nother language.
But people forget that and see it as a serious business like endeavor instead of the art and emotional conveyer and inner world translator that it is.
Which is both parts disappointing and pathetic.
It's understandable to want to know everything someone else does in creating music and how they go about it and what gear.
So, why aren't you asking about their car?
Or how they drive?
Or the clothes that they wear?
Or the coffee they drink?
Or their morning routine?
Yknow, the things that attribute them to who and how they are in thus giving a clear picture of the choices they make and reasons they decided to do as such.
But, no.
People like pixels and not the whole picture.
So they forgo understanding art as it is and figure they need every single thing first.
I'm sorry. You can study Mozart all you want.
But how are you going to be known for your own things if you're constantly trying to replicate someone else's?
@@TheLemonKiller "if it's not an acoustic, then you're not playing guitar" is the single most pretentious thing I've ever heard.
@@stoneofpower6192 And the person taking things seriously and not for the metaphor that it overly blatantly obviously is.
That's fairly pathetic.
“The Cheapskate”
Constantly goes to guitar stores and plays guitars he clearly can’t afford and calls them “too cheap” or “not as good as the one he has” and makes excuses when the employees ask if he wants to buy the guitar. Leaves without buying anything, Having only wasting the employees time.
See! I always get self conscious about this, so I have a philosophy, never touch what you can’t afford, play something within your realistic price range.
And if you don’t intend to buy anything, I at least buy some strings, a key ring, a strap, picks or a pedal, cause that’s the nice thing to do.
Them’s my rules whenever I go in a Guitar Center or any music store.
@@CCAndPinkie how do know the difference between a high end feeling, sounding guitar and squire bullet?
So in the event you happen across a partscaster or a second hand off brand guitar that is comparable to highend or better, you understand the value and not to flip it on a whim?
@@Emma-kz3zr as someone who plays a squire bullet but has nicer guitars it is the intonation.
Learn a classical piece or anything that has microtonal aspects and you will see what I mean. Of course tone because tone wood but that is subjective.
Nah, you deliberately play a guitar that you can't afford, Just cos you're killing time... Then you end up buying it!!! Those devilish employees know what they're doing.
David Willis
Well... yeah, of course.
I didn’t always have these rules, I was a young guitarist once.
2:35 this "mérica" was very good i dont know why
I knew it!! You are the snob king 🤴
As a small guitar shop owner this checks out completely.
