" gee it sounded good when i played it at home"
"I think it's a bad room"...

we had a drummer sit in with us for a couple of shows. He was usually more than a couple of sheets to the wind. One nite he fell off the stool and lay semi-conscious at the back of the stage. All he could say was "no gig...no gig". Of course "NoGig" became his nickname.

"%^&*#$ poly finish isn't letting the notes breathe... "

"Ohhhh... you wanted me to learn the intro, too?"

"My teacher is on vacation this week."

"I dunno, the mp3 version sounded different somehow... "

"I just washed my hands and I can't do a thing with them."

"The battery in my tuner (or chorus or delay or [insert FX box of your choice here]) must be low."

"I think I need a solid pine cabinet to really nail that sound."

"My pickups weren't adjusted correctly."

"It's the AlNiCo magnets."

"It's the ceramic magnets."

"These are flatwound strings."

"These are roundwound strings."

"It only sounds like that when the amp is on."

"It only sounds like that when I turn up the volume control."

"I AM playing it right – you're just not listening correctly... "
