10 Funny Guitar FAILS

[@MusicisWin]

What’s your most embarrassing guitar fail? One time during a show my amp blew and just completely stopped working, and I stood on stage like a goon until the song ended.

[@uiseolee6720]

hahah

[@svvvvaaa]

my wire kept falling from an old tele in stage xd man luckily everyone was pretty drunk

[@Armankessilon]

My every play is an embarrasing guitar fail :D

[@user-jy3jm9jh3t]

I am in a band at the music store where I take lessons, it is a fun addition to the lessons and makes it more interesting. We sometimes perform around the town. One time I butchered a solo but no one seemed to care

[@johns3348]

Many years ago my lead player, who was a stunt man, was ripping off an awesome solo when he jumped off the stage and landed on his knees on the dance floor -it was the most amazing rock move EVER! The whole crowd went absolutely WILD! I was wondering what was with the weird face he was making during the last half of the solo, and then we finished the song with him still leaning back on his knees. When it was over, he looked back at us up on the stage and painfully asked if someone could call him an ambulance. The poor guy's leg was broken! THAT is a bad-ass trooper.

[@Foxikaze]

[@siralfredofhorsiii]

Funny and educational. From memory he said something along the lines of, the things he does are all things that can go wrong when you work with electricity, and he figured it was worth showing people. But with a bit of humour. He did a lecture at a uni or something a while back, and it was great

[@roidgainz8381]

As a drummer I can confirm that statement is accurate

[@mason3872]

As a bass player I can confirm that this is accurate, I was dropped on the head multiple times as a baby and look at how I turned out. My head is just that thicc.

[@joandrumz3176]

As a second drummer it is very true

[@embarkingolive]

The guy who made the "electric guitar" is actually an electrical engineer, and is a pretty smart dude. He intentionally screws stuff up and explains why it didn't work. His channel is electroboom.

[@alec7568]

"No matter what happens on stage, keep playing your instrument." Too true, at a show I played the drummer dropped her drumsticks and without drums the whole band stopped. I realised what happened though and kept playing through it so the rest of the band could fall back in time with me, after a few bars the drummer started playing again and the whole band was back in action.

[@rjwh67220]

I saw Steve Gadd drop one stick once and instead of just grabbing up another one that he of course had near at hand--he IS a consummate pro, after all--and he tossed the other one and kept on going bare knuckle. It sounded great. Consummate pro is a good definition for him. Remember what Zappa used to say, "A drummer is a musician's best friend."

[@hifijohn]

the barenaked ladies (remember them)were playing on tv, and the one of the guitarist broke one of his strings and the guitar went terrible out of tune, nobody stopped he kept singing a tech took his guitar and gave him another.

[@wilhelmtheconquerer6214]

4:34 I think he's saying "röven", which basically means "ass" in swedish. His dialect sound a bit weird to me though, so he might be Norwegian or Danish too...

[@Ubu987]

So, if "röven" means 'ass' in Swedish, then the Swedish for 'bass' must be "bröven".

Hi, my name is Xavier, I am Australian and I am 14, almost 15 years old. I have been watching your videos lots recently and I love them. My mum bought me a nylon string acoustic guitar 2 years ago for Christmas and I did my best at the start and got a little better. About half a year later I wasn't getting any better at guitar and I didn't play it as much but not long ago I started watching your videos and it has motivated me pick that guitar up and play it again. I have learned several intros to songs like Hotel California, Back in Black and Highway to Hell since I started watching your videos and I would like to thank you for making such good content that helps people like me pick up their guitar and learn something. I also got a job at McDonald's recently and I am saving up for an electric guitar and amp, this will help me get better. One day I want to be just like you. You make great content, thank you.

[@rickmaynard2098]

There is one from my teenage years (late 80s) that I wish I still had so I could share with you. We were doing a cover of Bon Jovi’s “Runaway”. We hit the section at the beginning of the guitar solo when the entire band hits the six single notes on that syncopated line. I’m standing in front of the drum riser and on about the fourth of those six notes I get whacked in the back of the head- a cymbal has fallen onto me. But as you said- show must go on. So I’m kind of woozy while playing the guitar solo, and I’m trying to angle myself so the drummer can get his cymbal off of my head. Keeping it together was kind of all for nothing though, because the rest of the band lost their shit watching this and started laughing too hard to play.

[@r4vster828]

12:40 Haha 'just shot off into the STRATosphere'

[@remmmy45]

[@alabamaguns3684]

I'm watching this in bed. My wife is probably gonna kill me. She is trying to sleep because she has to get up in a few hours and I'm shaking the bed laughing so hard. I didn't expect them to be funny but when that guy just threw his guitar and was like "oh well" I laughed til I cried. Especially when he pointed out how far he threw it.

[@sansabark]

Might have been a Gibson Flying V guitar.

[@hammerhead_za1449]

"Good thing he's a drummer they don't really have many nerve endings" as a drummer I can say this is true

[@gamma_noize]

8:20 This is the KZbinr Electroboom. He does stuff like this all the time. XD But he is an electrical engineer and knows very well, how to do this crap without killing himself.

[@substrate001]

5:28 looks like the guitar cable was running under the tv cord, which was stretched tight already; ouch! Just basic planning would've helped him a lot. Or maybe it *_was_* just the power of that last sweet note!

[@hifijohn]

That's my guess,his guitar chord was somehow entangles with the power cord of his tv so when he went for the money shot chord he yanked the set, this is one good thing about the old crt tv sets they were very heavy,he would have just yanked the power cord out of the outlet.

[@qua7771]

I pulled my amp head off the speaker once. Lesson learned.

[@maidenthe80sla]

Guitarist #2: This is what happens and what you get when you hardly ever show up to band practice.

[@DrivingOnTheEString]

The drummer from 10:42 is actually a buddy of mine, and the video was from when he was in high school in the 90's. They were playing for an all night marathon/fundraiser for the local cable channel, and this was at the 3:30am mark. He basically fell asleep at that moment haha

[@Legocatshouse]

I rewatched it, and yeah. He looks DONE.

[@SeanKerns]

I'm glad you included the guitar throw guy. He's a legend. And if you liked Electro Boom's "electric guitar", the rest of his channel is great, too.

[@curlyhoward6434]

I've heard of a Flying-V before but not a flying bass. Even the bass players 90 year old grandmother knows this isn't how you play air-guitar but I love it. Did you see the serious air that guy got with his bass? Wow, that thing grew wings Okay, here's how you do it the right way. Lesson 1, buy a seriously good quality guitar strap lock set. Lesson 2, do not buy the cheap $5.00 guitar strap locks, get the brand name quality strap locks that cost more than you want to pay that actually work every time without fail. Lesson 3, get a high quality guitar strap that doubles as a 30 ton truck tow strap. Lesson 4, make sure the strap is securely sandwiched in the strap lock and you use Loctite not lubricant on the threads. Lesson 5, make sure the screws going into your guitar are good and tight so they don't come loose. Finally, get an 4K UHD camera so we can see you swing your $10,000 one of a kind signed signature guitar around your neck like a chimp at a zoo. I say go ahead, give the people what they want and never stop playing or people might notice the mistake.

Still not as bad as when our highschool band director had to stop us entirely for all playing We Will Rock You at different tempos... Even the percussion section couldn't play together on that one.

There was a garage band in our neighborhood I use to love to watch, 3 guys in their late 50's who still dreamed about being rock stars, the drummer would play old jazzy style drumming the guitarist was a metalhead the bassist barely knew how to hold a bass, when they started playing they all playing something different, and none of them even noticed.
