"You need to play less bass on this one so that I can put in a 20 minute guitar solo..."

Get the guitaristmug. About 90 % of those who decide to learn how to play the guitar; one who loves one's self. Not to be confused with "guitar player"(the real deal). You can differentiate the guitarists from the guitar players in a few ways...
- The guitarist will nod his head and make smug faces as he
plays his minor pentatonic licks (or any sequence). He may also jump about and/or perform spinning Tae Kwon Do kicks whilst playing.
- The guitarist's ulterior motives for playing the guitar
are: Attention, Sex, Money, and Drugs.
- The guitarist has a propensity to favor quantity over
quality (ex. playing several unnecessary notes), and is
often observed turning his volume up to an obnoxious
level in an attempt to be liked.
- The music they create is banal dog doo.
Not to be dealt with, period.

Get the Guitaristmug. Not to be confused with someone who simply plays the guitar, a true guitarist is someone who looks at their instrument as though it were a paintbrush preloaded with every color imaginable and then some, waiting to spill onto the canvas known as sound in an array of both erratic and delicate displays. These displays differ depending on the guitarist's motivation and state of mind, as well as their life experiences and musical inspirations.
Guitarists often feel a connection to their instrument in the way that it is an extension of their self; many relate this connection to an energetic flow, as the sounds which emerge from both their efforts and their instrument combined seemingly flow from the tips of their fingers like energy all the way into their veins, connecting them to life itself in an obscure way many find hard to explain to non-guitarists, but understand and relate to instinctively with those of their own kind.
Despite popular belief or bias, not all guitarists are technically brilliant, but the sounds they produce are always full of emotion and most importantly, honesty. The way to tell if someone is a guitarist is their ability to tell a story through their playing in a style that is distinctly their own.

*All examples would be open to debate and personal opinion, thus I'll leave it up to your own interpretation to decide who in your mind is someone you recognize as a guitarist in these terms.
