PS. I dedicate this post to all those would-be guitar heroes out there… and wish them a speedy recovery from that nasty bout of carpal tunnel.

Seeing this reminds me of the iconic picture of Jimi burning his guitar on stage, and of the tragic melted puddle of plastic on my basment floor when I tried to do the same.

Whaaaa? No Eddie Van Halen? No Clapton? No Stevie Ray? No Jimmy Page? No uh… uh…
A little help please? I can’t be indignant all on my own…
(PS - unibrows scare the crap out of me!)

Send this to a frickin’ newspaper. Frickin’ please?
You can’t LOL at this. You have to just nod and say - “yessir, ’tis tru!”
When I recover, i’ll send you a postcard.
And post more often. Bleddy.

G - rest asured I took great pains in selecting which great guitarists would go in this cartoon… Hendrix was a shoe in because, well, he’s Hendrix… and in the end I chose Angus because, well, he’s Aussie.
I’m not joking about that carpal tunnel shit either… my little Guitar Hero axe is safely stored away in a cupboard because after a couple of weeks of manic button-mashing and shredding after I first bought it, I was getting a sore neck. So I stopped. Still, it was worth getting it just to see my Dad have a turn, and then proceed to rock out so hard that he unplugged the guitar from the X-Box. DUDE! AWESOME!
Thanks as always for the nice comments guys, appreciate it.

I showed this one to my wife. She didn’t get it. She has no taste in music.

G may have a point, but this cartoon us great! Reminds me of my buddies with strange guitar-hero related talents. I just don’t have the patience to sit in front of the TV for hours on end practicing my button-pushing technique, that doesn’t stop me from playing with my chummies. By the way, is that a squirrel on someones avatar?

Oh! I forgot to add, don’t hate on the unibrow dude! One of the funniest people I know has a unibrow, it may look like a strange creature crawling across one’s forehead, but on the inside its just a small fuzzy creature looking for love in the cold, heartless, double-browed world we live in…

The guitar on display for hendrix really ought to be a Stratocaster, not a Flying V. Angus does get his SG, why doesn’t Jimi get the guitar model most closely associated with him ?
(By the way, I do know Jimi owned a Flying V, that can be seen in some famous live videos, but I wanted to set the record straight)
Great cartoon anyway.

hey.. i really like your material but you should update this one.. as others pointed out hendrix didn’t use that type of guitar
keep up the good work.
