Guitar player faces

[toothace]

Over in another thread this topic came up...so let's see what kind of playing faces y'all can come up with?

Here's a start...the topic of much heat throughout the Forum...

Stevie made some great ones.

You can always count on ol' Joe Walsh for an interesting guitar face!

 

[Lee B.]

Well, and there’s always this guy too... looks like he swiped one of Bodia’s guitars or something!

I once saw Frank Zappa do a whole solo of guitar faces. Didn't play a note - just made the faces.

Seeing this thread reminded me of a YouTube video of some dude demoing his Peavey 3120 several years ago. The face has remained with me ever since.

Well, and there’s always this guy too... looks like he swiped one of Bodia’s guitars or something!

...and my shirt, too!

 

[bodia]

Greatest band, ever!

 

[bodia]

Not sure if this is a funny face, or if he just got a whiff of those leather pants he never changed

Can't forget about the guy in my avatar!

That would've been hilarious considering he's normally very stoic when playing.

This one is pretty cool, though:

Ah yesss ............ the infamous "guitar face" ........ I'm so all over this one.

"Guitar faces" have adorned many great guitarists of our time. Our rockin' forefathers did.




The great Carlos Santana's are so epic that they make memes out of them.



Alex looks like he's taking a dump most of the time.




Nigel Tufnel has a black belt at it.



Even guys that don't play guitar that well can make faces to look like they do.




............and the only guitarist immune to it is ................................

BUCKETHEAD



Maybe *THAT'S* why he uses the mask, maybe he makes too many faces when he's playing.

That's why I used him, an all time low for guitardom.

I wonder if they used the first “take” for TV!
