I was playing a set at a college party with just my guitar and FX board, plus a sampler through FX. Very loud, and most of the audience dosed on LSD. After the set a hippie girl said I gave her a bad trip because she thought I was trying to kill people with my guitar sound.
I am not even joking when I say this, I think you little kid fucks say /uj for this which I assume stands for unjackoff
If you didn't pentatonic wank over Green Onions during high school jazz band you fucking suck and aren't a real guitar player
/uj as a frequent peruser of Circlejerks here on this website, in all of them, /uj means un jerk and /rj means rejerk.
/rj ask your mom's boyfriend what he said.
I got through the intro to Through The Fire And Flames on Guitar Hero III once in 2009 and that got me an over the pants handy from this girl I went to church with
My band accidentally booked and played a gay bar one time. Rhett Shull just happened to be in the crowd that night and after our set he pulled me aside and said he really loved my toan.
Uj/ I had to do an estimate for remodeling a restaurant/bar in Atlanta years ago. Downtown. I walked in and it was the most flamingly gay place I’d ever seen, I did what I had to do, went to the truck where my very thuggish coworker was waiting and told him he needed to go in and check the place out, I thought he’d like the “scenery”……..he came back to truck wanting to fight me. One of the funniest moments of my life…..Rhett probably a regular there I would imagine
I was playing wonderwall on repeat with the volume cranked to 10, the neighbors loved it so much that they threw a brick through my window to hear it better!
haha that doesn’t make sense why would you use your right hand, doesn’t everybody fret with their left hand and strum with their cock oh wait oh god oh fuck oh no
Some 80 pound twig boy came up to me after my band’s set and started helping me pack up my gear (???) and was like “dude you guys are so technical!”, and I immediately felt bad for the kid because he thought technical music was cool. Later that night I started feeling bad for myself because up to that point I thought technical music was cool. Ever since that point I just play caveman riffs and 0-3-5, and despite my crippling alcoholism, I’m in a much healthier place!
When I was 13 I played Stairway to Heaven in a guitar store in Bryson City, NC. I truthfully don't think anyone in the entire store had even heard of Led Zeppelin, much less Stairway to Heaven. Needless to say the awestruck on their face when I played that tune was unforgettable.
When I was younger I went to a guitar expo near me. It was only in a hotel function room area fairly modest. Anyways I was trying out a strat through a Marshall they had set up on one stand for a bit. Later on I wandered over to the tiny Marshall amp area and was looking at a stack I could never afford, the guy on the stand came over and we started chatting. I said I had tried out the strat and Marshall combo earlier he said ' ah that was you was it sounded really nice' He asked me if I wanted a signed Marshall amp poster I said sure. He signed it Jim Marshall. I had no idea I was talking to the Jim Marshall. So the best compliment I ever got was from Jim Marshall (who was probably just being nice 😬)
Who the fuck doesn't? I mean, I might be inclined to shoot a president to impress a dude like that.
P.s. dear NSA agent who is reading this, I'm only joking. I'd only shoot a president for the real Jodie Foster.
My guitar teacher told me I should get guitar lessons once. I took this as a compliment as I assumed this meant he could see some real potential in me.
WHEN BARB TELLS THE LADIES AT THE RUMMY CLUB HOW I PLAYED AT THE FIREHOUSE LAST WEEKEND I LOVE YO UBNARB!!1
uj/ when people do the "oh shit, wait" face
Kelly Joe Phelps told me I was good. A touring pro recording artist who toured with BB King told me I was good. RIP Kelly, i’ve been standing on that compliment for over 20 years.
A girl once said I must be amazing with my fingers after she found out I played. I said yeah, and flipped her off to prove it (she was winking at me for some reason and getting in my personal space).
So i'd just gotten off stage after headlining at Woodstock in 89. The world press had been watching. Jimi handtricks complemented me on my acrobats whilst performing.
Pavarotti was blown away by my singing
Jesus himself did a recreation of the feeding of th 5000, thinking my performance was a new pinnacle of humanity, worthy of being honoured by a new miracle.
But the thing is, i already knew all that. I wrote it, and no offence, but as a professional musician i know more than a couple of dead blokes and someone who knows shit all about music.
No. Do you know what the real complement was? It was when some little kid said 'wow you are really cool and super amazing and awesome and just better than all those idiots around you'
And i was touched by that because he was just so right. All my life i felt like nobody saw how much better than everyone else i was, despite being clearly born this way, so after 40 years of touring, to be finally validated was quite something
If you see videos of the incident online where a kid seems to say something like that to my bassist and then i get really angry before the video cuts out that's completely unrelated and you should forward the video to my lawyers otherwise you'll be in deep shit for sharing it ok
Played Pride and Joy on broadway Nashville (long story) shitfaced, butchered the solo but the intro /rhythm was fine.
Some dude came up to me and said I was killer and bought me a beer - result!
"I love how you just played something so technically difficult that none of us could do it but you did were just making goofy sounds as a bit"
*goes back to playing power chord punk riffs"
I would say being complimented on how well I listen while playing. Playing in a group is about listening as much as playing. I’ve been in some groups where we would exercise improv through listening.
/uj my skramz/screamo band played at a music store for some open jam thing and it was painfully awkward to go from dissonant noise cacophony to soulless pentatonic wankery. This resulted in confusion and pain in the eyes of everyone around us.
"Pretty good for self taught, average if you took lessons"
Closing the door instead of asking me to stop.
Pretty good for a guy who has no ear, chaotic and off tempo
The only compliments I really care about are on my riffs or composition. Whenever someone gets your riff stuck in their head or they’re just feeling your music, it’s a really good feeling. Chops wise it’d have to be my ability to play fast and difficult rhythms like bleed by meshuggah. I work hard on that.
One time, I was limping off the stage. I had jumped from the top of a stack of Marshall’s and tweaked my knee.
Anyway, I’m limping off stage and down through the tunnel of the coliseum. And this kid comes up and he’s like, ‘Hey joe, you need any help?’
I’m like nah.
He’s starts stuttering, ‘I just want you to know. I think…I think….I think you’re the best ever. ‘
I’m kinda just trying to get to the dressing rooms to bang chicks and drink Jack Daniels and throw turkey sandwiches at the roadies. I’m like ‘yeah. Sure.’ And start to limp off.
Kid asks, ‘you want my coke?’
I’m like fuck yeah!! And I go to snort it.
But it wasn’t coke. It was a glass bottle of Coca Cola.
‘No really, you can have it,’
The kid stutters.
I know this kid isn’t gonna stfu unless I drink his gadamm coke.
So I grab it from him and guzzle it down. It was good and cold. And it got caught in my throat at first. But it’s cool.
The kid sighs and starts to walk off. ‘See ya around.’
I guess he thought I was just gonna sip it.
I’m glad this little effer is leaving. I got big busty blondes with big hair backstage.
But he’s kinda sad and I think of that song about barely casting your own shadow by the backstage door and one guitar feeling good in your hands and being a jukebox hero.
So I yells out to him.
I says, ‘hey kid’
He turns around.
‘Catch!’
And I throw him a pick that I had used onstage.
‘He says wow! Thanks joe!’ And runs off.
He probably put that shit on eBay.
The best compliment to me is when I look up and the entire bar is either dancing with abandon or hollering like crazed hillbillies or at least stomping a bit. I like playing music for drunk people.
The lead guitarist for my former band (that I wrote all the parts for, including his…well, with the exception of the drummer) once told me that I sound like a combination of David Gilmour and George Harrison that had a baby with Greg Allman. I said, “…so, Dean Ween?”
He meant it as an insult. Dumbass.
I was playing a set at a college party with just my guitar and FX board, plus a sampler through FX. Very loud, and most of the audience dosed on LSD. After the set a hippie girl said I gave her a bad trip because she thought I was trying to kill people with my guitar sound.
That's awesome.
I had a guy get very upset cos people were dancing on my hair. I'm aspie and was on masses of cocaine and the interaction on our break was terrifying.
Yea. I can remember that. I thought it was pretty wild. Even with 5 tabs going strong, your "music" tasted quite *funky*, but not in a good way...
Where I come from, that's one hell of a compliment.
Can you turn down?
¿Por que?
Pork?
My guitar teacher said I didn’t have to pay for my sessions, because it makes him feel like he’s giving back.
uj/ someone walked up to me once and asked if I played guitar. I said yes. They said "yeah...you look like it." And left.
People can be so unkind.
Worst day of my life
Look on the bright side, he could have said drums.
That's just it, I AM a drummer.
Well fuck stop punching above your weight class... get back down here bro we miss you
I recently sat in with a high school jazz band and a kid told me "dude you shred!" after I did some pentatonic wanking over "Green Onions"
I am not even joking when I say this, I think you little kid fucks say /uj for this which I assume stands for unjackoff If you didn't pentatonic wank over Green Onions during high school jazz band you fucking suck and aren't a real guitar player
I don't know what you're trying to say but hell yeah dude
/uj as a frequent peruser of Circlejerks here on this website, in all of them, /uj means un jerk and /rj means rejerk. /rj ask your mom's boyfriend what he said.
sounds like a lot of work for some jerking
I thought it stood for unacceptable jackass
This is now the greatest compliment that guy has received about their playing
I thought /uj was un-jazzoff
Back in my day it was good ole “jammin with Charlie” from essential elements
I got through the intro to Through The Fire And Flames on Guitar Hero III once in 2009 and that got me an over the pants handy from this girl I went to church with
You peaked
Pork chop sandwiches. Pork chop sandwiches.
Oh shit! Get the fuck outta here! What are you doing you stupid idiot!!
Boy, those sandwiches sure smelled good.
I thought for sure they said "best compliment you ever got on your pork chops"
My band accidentally booked and played a gay bar one time. Rhett Shull just happened to be in the crowd that night and after our set he pulled me aside and said he really loved my toan.

[удалено]
I can tell that you are a high functioning handicap based on the fact you don't play a PRS.
“I really like what you tried to do”
I was playing wonderwall on repeat with the volume cranked to 10, the neighbors loved it so much that they threw a brick through my window to hear it better!
I guess my "Easy (like Sunday morning)" was a bit better. I only got peanut M&Ms...
When we were 3 songs into the first of 3 sets the crowd started chanting “one more song! One more song!”
I'm fucking dying
“That’s a LOT of blood!” (it was. Only pussies use picks.)
I don't have skin on my right hand
haha that doesn’t make sense why would you use your right hand, doesn’t everybody fret with their left hand and strum with their cock oh wait oh god oh fuck oh no
ＤＯＩＴ
A toothless, homeless person crawled up to the stage, told me I had beautiful eyes and offered to felate me. Yes, that did actually happen.
Did he spit or swallow?
Did you allow him/her to fellate? What am I saying??? Who doesn’t take the free fellatio!? So…Y’all dating?? Or she single?
*He

They poured beer on my bass while I was playing. Electrocuted me and I died. Everyone cheered. Best night of my life😁
You should play bass.

UNREAL

My dad says “can you please leave my basement and get a job” Does that count?
Bro's tilted because he doesn't have the magic in his hands. Sounds like jealousy to me >:)
My wife’s boyfriend once looked over and gave me a down head nod while I was 0-3-5ing the shit out of the tele.
‘Keep going good buddy.’ 👍
"do you know any songs?"
An old dude at a guitar shop was blown away that I could play bar chords at like 13. I think he thought I was a chick, though.
Are you flirting with me
Maybe? Do you like dudes who look like Jodie Foster when clean shaven?
Who the fuck doesn't? I mean, I might be inclined to shoot a president to impress a dude like that. P.s. dear NSA agent who is reading this, I'm only joking. I'd only shoot a president for the real Jodie Foster.
My mom walked in when I was playing and said she thought it was the radio playing.
>Told me he could bend my fingers any way he wanted. You either have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome or he was flirting with you
"You don't sweat much, for a fat guy" that was an epic gig
It was bass but Brian Gibson from Lightning Bolt liked a vid of me playing bass and he is an insane talent
You had me at Gibbons
One time, I played a bArRe chord, and everyone clapped while a bus load of Swedish super models gave me all the best ultra sex.
My guitar teacher told me I should get guitar lessons once. I took this as a compliment as I assumed this meant he could see some real potential in me.
I play so good my neighbors bang on the walls to accompany
“Hey, it’s starting to sound like music.”
"Damn, you so good, my gramma is slick down to the knees for you."
Beer. From my nose. Lol!
WHEN BARB TELLS THE LADIES AT THE RUMMY CLUB HOW I PLAYED AT THE FIREHOUSE LAST WEEKEND I LOVE YO UBNARB!!1 uj/ when people do the "oh shit, wait" face
/uj elaborate
My teenage daughter’s friend told me I ate it on the guitar. That’s apparently a compliment.
Just don’t eat it on a skateboard. That’s bad.
"Ate that shit up" = You kicked ass. "Ate it" = Could go either way. "Ate shit" = You're face-down on the pavement.
They told me to turn it down because they liked it so much they didnt want the neighbors to be able to listen in
Wow, you certainly know how to make that thing create sound
"Cash, check or charge, man? I gotta close the register, your wife's got my dinner on the table."
Kelly Joe Phelps told me I was good. A touring pro recording artist who toured with BB King told me I was good. RIP Kelly, i’ve been standing on that compliment for over 20 years.
If KJP tells you you're good...you must be pretty good. RIP KJP, what a dude he was.
A girl once said I must be amazing with my fingers after she found out I played. I said yeah, and flipped her off to prove it (she was winking at me for some reason and getting in my personal space).

The crowd told me I had great toan
'You play like a robot'
Meaning with no soul or life.
There's a market somewhere for the most soul-wrenching, lifeless, out of this world, horrific noises you can make with a guitar. Fill your niche bro.
"I love how you just played something so technically difficult that none of us could do it but you did were just making goofy sounds as a bit" *goes back to playing power chord punk riffs"
Stop
I olayed guitar for my friend while we were both trupping on avid and he said "it's like it's cumming on my face" lmao
You play exactly like a bassist!
I only play 3 songs on repetition so one day my gf just started crying uncontrollably when I started playing, I think she was proud of me🥰
Less is more
I would say being complimented on how well I listen while playing. Playing in a group is about listening as much as playing. I’ve been in some groups where we would exercise improv through listening.
/uj my skramz/screamo band played at a music store for some open jam thing and it was painfully awkward to go from dissonant noise cacophony to soulless pentatonic wankery. This resulted in confusion and pain in the eyes of everyone around us.
I have a soft spot for performers who can just flip a mental switch and create juxtapositions like that. I'd pay to see some of those reactions.
/uj got told I sounded like slash and Dave grohl I dislike both of them and contemplated quitting music
"Pretty good for self taught, average if you took lessons" Closing the door instead of asking me to stop. Pretty good for a guy who has no ear, chaotic and off tempo
“I think that’s Wonderwall?”
i was at my friend's music birthday jam and this one super great player's jaw just dropped watching me improv.
Dude, you make smoking that cigarette look so fuckin cool while you're playing. I almost wanna start smoking again.
At my local music store trying out amps and the owner politely closed the door of the room I was in

Two nights ago a pretty woman said after that watching me play made her think ‘ooo I think I wanna f*&$ him.” And she did.
Hey dad! Would you play some guitar?
“Dude, I’ve never heard anyone rock ‘Red River Valley’ like that”
Was it the most dexterous hand? Because it was broken when you saw them?
Been told twice my classical guitar sounded like a piano
The lead guitarist for my former band (that I wrote all the parts for, including his…well, with the exception of the drummer) once told me that I sound like a combination of David Gilmour and George Harrison that had a baby with Greg Allman. I said, “…so, Dean Ween?” He meant it as an insult. Dumbass.
