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.

The following are NOT guitarists, but are guitar players...meaning they are not crap:

1.)Jason Becker

2.)Steve Howe

3.)Robert Fripp

4.)Lindsey Buckingham (A man. You heard me.)

See Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, and Tom Delonge (yes he is a pretty good guitarist for a pop-punk band).
Kurt and Tom are sexy guitarists. Jimi is just plain amazing.

One who plays guitar and is usually in a band so is therefor super cool. Guitarists are usually cooler than people that don’t play guitar and there are nearly 0 exceptions to this rule.

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.
