ok today during recess, i was talking to a friend who is the lead guitarist of a band (not gonna say which one). i said i have rubbed a little of the skin on my wrist off while strumming and hanging my bass low while jamming. he said u play punk rock right? i said no, we play pop-punk, and some emo. he said i was a poser for hanging my bass low. then he gave me a list of lengths which is specific for genres (huh?)

he said

punk rock/metal: low
pop punk/powerpop: medium low
indie: medium
alternative/jazz: damn high

i juz said, "ooooooooookkk....." and continued eating.

since when does the length of which u hang ur guitar affect your-poser-ness? i always thought that u shud juz hang where u feel comfortable. btw, i hang my bass slightly higher now to avoid rubbing my skin off :P

any comments? :?

aiya, who cares, this must be started by some mindless sec sch kids, is ur owns preference lo, some ppl like to strip their guitar high so they can shred easier. the theory is same as underwear, some people like to wear underwear high some like to wear low low

Who here insults this man!!
 
Actually, if I'm not wrong, it should be spelled as 'poseurs', innit?

Posers are people who freeze into a certain position innit?

I might be wrong...

Right on dude! im really happy and proud to be a SOFTie! its here where i learnt and still learn more!

Though we don see each others faces here, deep in we can feel the "familyness"!

And its us SOFTies who should be call those who call others posers POSERS!
 
ey lil one..though ur short & i should always pick on u, this time im gg to bend my rules & b liberal. please do state the name of this friend, so that i know which wanker is saying "metal: low". Atleast get the facts right b4 trying to b troo kult of the day. bt mayb this person was just kidding, coz it all sounds gay.

BUT, he got it right for punk rock. They do have an oath whereby they swear to hold their guitars below their dogs.

Brokemwing: dude, whats up w/ the Im-SOFT-Im-Kult thing? thts gay.

Paulie Gilberto's fingers are roots of trees. If his guitar is below his knees he would still b able to pull of insane skips & sweeps. He feels comfortable at tht level. If u hang too high, ur arms get stressed quite a bit. Experiment with it, u will know.

Paul Gilbert hangs guitar quite low I think.

what happened to you sig?

Mr soft told me it was too big and distorted the forum layout. :cry:

damn! but that made me know that it was cloudsky commenting!! now i gotta refer to the avatar! haha!

guitar hang = ur preference...its poseur when u hold a low guitar and cnt play correctly...and its poseur to hold a high guitar and not play correctly too...

its definitely the music>style kinda thing...u cant sacrifice style for music...if the whole world wanna be stylish while playing music...we'll all be listening to MCR and Simple Plan

nope. your are right indeede.
i got flamed once for typing 'poser' in my blog when what i meant was "poseur".
i didnt read the past 4 pages of this thread, but to answer to the question, i'd say no. it all depends on your comfortability. you never know at which length when that someone wears their guitar, its the best comforting position that allows them to play in their full potential.

agrees totally. if you can't make good music. you're just a pathetic poseur. music will influence style...don't let fashion and style influence your music. it's just unfair

so its not poseur only when its hung mid level? u guys r gettin the overkill syndrome. when u say cant play correctly, u mean cant play well. And some1 who cant play well, will not play well at any height. and it isnt his/her fault if cant play well.
