guitarded

One who is incredibly good at Guitar Hero and proud of it, but has never played an actual guitar. Also one who is impressed by Guitar Hero skills yet unimpressed by actual guitar playing.
Guitarded one: Dude! I got five stars on Dragon Force on expert last night!
Normal Human: OK. I played Stairway to Heaven backwards on an actual guitar.
Guitarded One: So....?

Guitar Hero claw

A medical ailment that is a result of playing the rock guitar simulator game for hours on end. It most often leaves the left hand cramped in the shape it took to press the coloured buttons, which resembles an odd claw, with the lightning speed and precision needed to beat friends in a 'pro face off' or complete career mode on hard. It is often accompanied by guitar hero tripping.
This is a small price to play for victory over friends and family.
'Flip Marc, we've just beat the co-op mode of Guitar Hero 3, now we have opened Strokes- Reptilia & Beastie Boys: Sabotage- that's Wizard!'

'Yes but it is 4 hours of our lives we will never get back and I do have nasty case of Guitar Hero claw.'

'True...and the carpet has started to move too...that's not normal!'

bass guitar

Since most people here seem to be ignorant of what a bass is:

1) It was NOT "based off the guitar", it's an electric adaptation of the double bass which became awkward and increasingly less audible compared to other instruments in the earliest rock/jazz bands.

2) While easier to learn than guitar, it is far far more difficult to master. Anyone can sound cool playing the pentatonic scale and power chords over and over; it takes a great more deal of musical skill and talent to be excellent at bass.

3) On a related note "Anyone who plays guitar can play bass by default" is ridiculous. If you have no sense of rhythm and can't keep a beat, then you can't play bass. Hell, most guitarists I've met can't even play the bass without making the frets buzz their first few times.

4) Bass is a rhythm instrument, with a deeper more mellow sound. Guitar is melodic (or at least mostly used for such). To say bass is inferior to guitar is also stupid.
1) The advent of the electric bass guitar revolutioned new age music

2) A guitarist can sound "amazing" in just a couple years. I'd like to see anyone learn Victor Wooten's Classical Thump in just a couple of years.

3) "Whoa dude whats wrong with your frets? Why are they buzzing??" - Guitarist who thinks he can play bass

4) Have you ever heard a band with two guitarists and no bassist? It sounds like a fucking transistor radio

Glorified Guitar Hero Player

A person who plays music in a band or solo (most commonly Indie Rock or other hipster music) who has no or very little talent yet feels compelled to strut around or just generally act like a "Rock Star". Most commonly found in cities with "great music scenes" such as Austin or Seattle and simply revitalizes the idea of empty egotism over any substance. People who want to act like "Rock Stars" for the status symbol, but actually know very little about music itself. So therefore people with the exact same talent and delusional sense of self-importance that a person playing the video game "Guitar Hero" would feel.
I went to the show last night and it sucked, they were all just a bunch of Glorified Guitar Hero Players douche bags.

guitarchitecture

1(n) elaborate multitrack recordings of guitar music
2(n) an insidious plot propogated by mid-eighties metal bands to bring about a collective resurgence in catalog sales and nostalgia tours.
The guitarchitecture in Radiohead's OK Computer is sublte yet sublime in effect.

Clearly, guitarchitecture is fermenting at local guitar centers based on reported hairlength consistency and growth projections.

Pain or numbness in the wrist resulting from playing too much Guitar Hero, or you know actual guitar.
