12 Annoying Types of Musician

[@cyrusaalborg]

Best funk baseline and solo : Keziah Jones - Where's Life

[@lizvtaz6]

Man... When you started playing this "fave song of yours" I suddenly remembered a horrible nightmare that I had recently. It was a life and death situation (in my dream) and I had to play the piano and I forgot how to do it. It's a weird dream for me cause I have not played the piano for years.

[@firesideshats]

Man saria song from ocarina of time is the only piano song I can play. Actually its the only song I can play period 🤣🤣🤣

[@Riclmnopp]

13. The drummer playing when you are trying to tune your instrument.

[@CharlesBerthoud]

Every time 🤣

[@Paranoidisagreatsong]

Definitely not me 😳

[@hesspet]

What is tuning?

[@alexandershpilka5848]

Seems you are the one who doesn't own a tuner 😅

[@charleshankins3799]

That's every drummer ever lol

[@smithjohn383]

Years ago I was a bassist in a band where drummer was always soloing and guitarist refused to learn theory and played only riffs in whatever keys. And I played only in C-major. I'm sure we sounded horrible, but we still had fun and that was what mattered.

[@gwts1171]

I first read this as "drummer was always sobbing" and it made me laugh. :)

[@ilyasguldal8659]

My collage band was same. Not very good technic. Though, we were having much fun

[@ronniarbitiaas3095]

Ya, being annoying/annoyed doesn't always conflict with having fun.

[@aidanmahoney9865]

@Brian Baker Yeah, the guitarist was always riffing and the drummer couldn’t handle it so he always just started sobbing

Haha so true 🤣

[@lancerigby3662]

That make me laugh and cringe at the same time. I'm soooo guilty of that! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gwts1171]

Oh, yeah, Steve Vai and Marty Friedman were telling me about that kind of person when we were jamming. Dang, I must have lost the picture of our session. 😉

[@TheBl00D1u5t]

​@@lancerigby3662 I definitely did not also feel that same way when reading this comment😅

[@Robbo859]

I’ve played with somebody like this, lol.

[@RC32Smiths01]

Not gonna lie the conflict between Nothing Else Matters and the Bass solo went so well, clashing made perfectly. Cheers as always Charles

[@CharlesBerthoud]

Did I miss any? I'm probably the first guy but sometimes I'm number 5 🤣

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

Probably... I imagine we all have our days 🙂

[@CUBOSH]

i would add: the two members who constantly argue over whether something is or is not jazz

[@alone2break]

The guitarist that constantly changing his equalizer/effect settings

[@Loltol1485]

I'm probably all of that combined Lol!

[@ryanhunter7637]

Lol. I guess I'm number 8, but in my defense, I tune faster and better by ear (that is, when other people will shut the hell up for 5 seconds). Also, I'm really not into the 440Hz standard, but I do get dragged into it at times. Oh yeah ... here's one you forgot (which is also me): the guy who insists on figuring out every cover song by ear rather than looking up tabs or score for it.

[@samuelconnolly347]

The keyboard effects at 2:24 are a nostalgia overload to being in school music lessons! Every 'composition' would involve putting on one of the drumbeat presets and spamming all the worst effects. Not heard those particular ones in many years.

[@Droops24]

I immediately thought of the episode of "Friends" where Ross performed on his keyboard. Hands down, some of the funniest scenes of the entire series.

[@aVeryTinyCat]

School music lessons, having to learn to play Axel F and the Terminator theme, but ending up with a poor improv of the start of the Jaws theme

[@marlonmontelhiggins8570]

​@@SuziQ. - Explain.

[@SuziQ.]

@@marlonmontelhiggins8570 , It’s gone. I filed a complaint with KZbin. Charles has (had?) an impersonator, using his image and his name. That account had left over 230 comments on this video, trying to trick people into thinking that Charles was replying to them.

[@byronstcg]

As someone with perfect pitch... i can say that I am definitely like number 7 😅. Also the piece is in B major 🎉 1:29

[@khaiuschill310]

I can so relate to 2. I played in this international church and we’d play these straight 4/4 rocky songs, but the African drummers would insist on giving it an offbeat, even reggae, feel. Was really annoying at the time because the riffs I prepared would no longer match the new groove of the song, but now I look back and just think it’s really funny 😂 loved those guys, real talents

[@Leonecta]

No one can avoid african syncopation. It'll rule the world.

[@actionsub]

@@Leonecta While the Borg may have been fictional, resistance to African syncopation IS futile!

Okay, Number 5--the Eye-Contact Guy--hit me kind of hard as I realized I've often done that when playing with others. Guilty as charged. 😄

The one who cancels practice at the last minute or just doesn't show up

[@thelastwildcolonialboy3667]

Yep my last f**king drummer. After a few years of that I sent him a insulting drunken text at 2am and he quit the band in a rage and the B grade back up singer he'd brought into the band quit in solidarity. I was so relieved

[@timmiller1]

We had practice?

[@corlancostello7647]

1:34 Ironically, he was actually playing that in B major, not Bb major.

[@itsdarksucks]

I was gonna say that! He must have done it to annoy us lol

[@hithere_1967]

Man! The drummer who likes to change the feel/beat of the song every minute and the guy who never learns the song! If only I got a dollar for each time I played a gig with those two!

[@clarkem4119]

Last band I was in had two guitarists. Therefore, there were always two guitars going - during songs and between songs. My keyboard solos were never without an accompanying guitar solo. No dynamics in that band, the guitarists had no idea how to back off and let anyone else shine for even a few seconds.

[@PC85X]

As a guitarist I can say that most just don't understand letting songs breath. It's like they're playing the floor is lava, but instead of the floor it's silence.

[@ingapeck]

The eye-contact guy was the funniest 🤣

[@adamadeptus3686]

THANK YOU for this. I freaking love when you do comedy skits, Charles. I had a really hard day and this really cheered me up. 🙏

[@PiePlayzBASS]

1:09 this is the most goofiest Charles we will ever see 😂😂

[@FullRoy2326]

Charles please do a full cover of whatever song you were playing in 7. (the perfect pitch dude), it sounded gorgeous 🙌🤩

[@NevahLose]

Highland Dreams kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4LVknVqmpyWe9k

[@TheDiamondBladeHD]

It's a piece called Highland Dream by Charles, or known as the Medieval tuning video on this channel. It's a bit older now but still always refreshing to hear it

[@laurisaarinen1126]

There is a great jungle/d’n’b artist called Adam F, just thought to say. The song ”Circles” is gorgeous.

[@MelanderMusic]

You forgot the phone scroller guy who constantly needs to be reminded that we're taking the next song now!

[@SuziQ.]

I’m so glad that we didn’t have cellphones back then. Our lead singer would have been “that guy” (when he showed up for band practice).

[@andychips]

I can relate to almost all those! The main offenders are guitarists and bassists who noodle while you’re talking the band through a tricky change that needs EVERYONE’S attention.

[@CTB_Riffs]

I love your combination between comedy and freaking AWESOME bass skills! Your video's are very entertaining! Also, you should do another bass challenge video soon. They're really fun to watch and I would love to compete!

[@EL3CTR0LYTE]

My dad is a guitarist, and whenever we try to play a song (I play piano/kb), we always end up arguing because he solos on and on and ON. I love my dad tho

[@TheDiamondBladeHD]

13. The one that doesn't even appear

[@tenaciouspancake7652]

There's an entire class (no pun intended) of other types in junior high band (/orchestra/choir): * That one person that always overdresses * The wind player emptying their instrument way too often * The person reading a book during tacit parts (and...when they're supposed to be playing, especially entrances...) * The one who always talks when the director stops the group * The class clown/goof-off * The flirt * The showoff (usually the same one who plays the solos without being asked) ... the list goes on 😫/ 🤣 Of course I've never been any of these types

[@Aritro77]
