Get the Guitarist mug.Related Words
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.

Get the Guitarist mug.A person who plays guitar.
About 1 in 10 guitarists actually get good at it. The rest learn shitty blink 182 songs to impress their friends. Some of these fuckwads form bands and spread their pathetic music around the world for many idiots to enjoy because they have never heard anything better.
Real guitarists include: Jimmy Page, Steve Vai, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, John Petrucci, Eric Clapton and many other non ass holes.

Get the guitarist mug.a guitarist is someone you plays guitar decently, or at least wants to become decent. in my eyes, you're not a "true" guitarist if you only learned the instrument to score hot chicks, but know only 2 Blink 182 songs. you must be motivated and passionate.

Get the guitarist mug.Lyle Burruss, co-creator of Machinima series Sanity Not Included sometimes referred to by his YouTube name guitarmasterx7. Featured on the 22nd installment of Creature Talk where he had his own section called "Lyle's Hard-Hitting Questions" in which he would ask callers or The Creatures questions such as the famous "Gorilla Question" which goes as follows: "You are in an avalanche, and you've been injured. You come to and you realize your left arm's been broken and you can't move it, and you've got this huge wall or rock and ice whatever and behind it you've got your right arm which is for some reason holding onto a knife and you've got your dick. Your right arm you can kind of struggle out but you have to let go of the knife and your dick is just hopelessly stuck, you can't get it out. So, there's a news helicopter that's flying by that if you could just wave to them with your right arm you could flag them down and it'd take them about 3 hours to get to you. Now here's the twist, there's a very horny silverback gorilla behind you that is going to buttfuck you for all three of those hours, on live television as the news broadcasts it until they rescue you. Now your other option, only other option, is to use the knife that is trapped behind the ice wall to cut off your dick and you'd just lose it forever but you can run and make it back just fine but you have to lose your dick. So, do you cut off your dick, or do you enjoy 3 hours of televised gorilla buttfucking?
