Bass Guitarist 

1) The often overlooked person in the band, even though they provide melodic stability. He/She may play via plucking, picking, slapping, tapping, or any variation thereof. The bassist may play on a bass guitar with strings numbering from four to twelve (eight, ten, and twelve are harmonics similar to a twelve stringed guitar.) and in tunings ranging from low A to E. The male of this species usually has a larger stature than the rest of the band.

2) The person seen carrying the overly intoxicated guitarist onto the tour bus.

3) The bane of the sound technician.

4) The person that usually stands stage right, not bouncing like an imbecile.

Guitarbarian 

N. A guitarbarian is a guitarist or bassist who refuses to take care of his/her guitar/bass properly. The key signs of guitarbarianism are:

-Refusal to change strings
-Not adjusting the truss rods according to string gauge (if possible)
-Leaving the guitar lying around to gather dust
-Exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures or highly fluctuating temperatures
-Damaging the guitar on purpose (except when smashing the guitar on stage, because that's a past-time)
-Not tuning the guitar when you know you need to
-Over-tuning your guitar (tuning the guitar excessively or screwing with the tuning keys excessively weakens the strings)

Your average guitarbarian is a stubborn, preppy jerk who believes that they can pick up a guitar/bass and weave gold with it instantly, because Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, and Eric Clapton could. Either that, or a total slob who treats his/her guitar/bass like a two-dollar 'ho. Otherwise, anyone can be a guitarbarian. Guitarbarians are frowned upon greatly in the music world, and are usually ostracized in ultra-obsessive music cliques, maybe even beaten or killed.
Joe is a total guitarbarian! Me and Eric went to his place for a jam session, and we found out that he had been using his guitar a a fucking dinnertable! There was Buffalo sauce all over the damned thing!

There should be a Social Services for guitars, where they go from door to door stabbing guitarbarians and giving guitar lovers rewards.

guitarist 

one who plays the guitar...well...not someone who has picked it up by buying the cheapest thing they could find and learn three songs which they play with annoying repetetiveness...one who actually knows the scales chords and musical theory ( the circle or cycle of fifths etc.)
i dont know who some of these cocky authors are but not all guitarists are rude, and not all guitarists of any genre suck hendrix althought not from a musical background could play from intuition and there are hundreds of great guitarists , paco de lucia Al DiMeola john petrucci, steve vai, eric clapton, jimmy page, carlos santana stevie ray vaughan, eric johnson, yngwie malmsteen, michael hedges, chet atkins, michael angelo batio, george harrison, b.b. king, robert cray, john mayer, buddy guy, bo diddley, joe walsh, joe perry...and im stopping just because im almost out of room... if you recognize 90% of those you are most likely a guitarist or an avid listener

worship guitarist 

A guitarplayer who plays in church and tries to be an organ. Probably owns unnecessary amounts of reverb and light overdrive pedals, in addition to a volumepedal.
I was bummed out, because the worship guitarist didn't turn up at church-
