Ik kwam deze 'ziektes' :wink: tegen op een buitenlands forum, en degene die ze daar gepost had had ze uit het blad Total Guitar.
Dacht dat het wel leuk zou zijn om hier ook even te posten... :smile:
GAS (gear acquisition syndrome)
An uncontrollable urge to buy the best guitar and amps available.
GSS (Guitar shop syndrome)
An inability to play properly when testing gear in a guitar shop even though you can play at home or in live gigs.
GTS (Guitar tab syndrome)
An inability to read guitar tabs in TG and make the right chord fingerings in one go or make your guitar sound like the one on the TG CD.
GTS (Guitar tone syndrome)
An inability to get a decent guitar tone even though you´ve got the best gear on the planet. Aggravated when a spotty kid nails it on a Yamaha Pacifica 112 and Peavy Rage amp.
GPS (Guitar pedal syndrome)
The desire to buy and collect stompboxes and effects pedals even though you know you´ll only ever use them once.
GBS (Guitar bedroom syndrome)
The urge to buy the best guitars and amps money can buy even though they´ll never be heard outside of your bedroom.
GMS (Guitar magazine syndrome)
The urge to buy every guitar-related magazine even though you don´t have enough time to learn one full transcription in TG per month
GIS (Guitarist inferiority complex)
The belief that everyone on the planet is better than you and that you´re being left behind.
GSC (Guitarist superiority complex)
The belief that you´re better than Vai even though you only practice for one hour a week.
GCS (Guitar chord syndrome)
The belief that guitar solos shouldn´t be played ´cos chords and squeaky noises are best.
PTS (Perfect take syndrome)
The need to record and re-record around two hours of music even though you know only eight bars will make it into the final tune. Particularly affects those finicking or individually picking stringsTrying to get each string to sound even, onlto discover that it sounds too even and clinical.
BGS (Better gear syndrome)
The misguided belief that replacing your pick-ups, fitting higher quality strings and using top grade plectrums, expensive cables and an enormous amp will improve your technique.
CRS (Cheesy riff syndrome)
You´ve seen the tab, you´ve bought the album and you´ve actually learned to play the entire song. You have almost the exact guitar tone programmed into your multi effects and you play it to your mates. You play it in guitar shops, and you´re even sick of it yourself, but it makes you sound good! If Bon JOvi had a pound for every time you played it...
TTS (Ten thumbs syndrome)
As suffered by those of us who are too crap to play anything without making a mistake.
