duane v Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Some guy has been sending me messages over the last week about doing a Youtube Maggie May guitar solo lesson.... My first reply was sending him a youtube link of another player giving the lesson. Second message.... He came back and stated "it didn't sound close to the original." I stated back, "non of them do, and that includes my demo." Third message..... He came back and stated..... "Why are you so stubborn and refuse to help other guitar players that can use some help?" I reply: "I don't have the patience to teach guitar, nor do I have any desire to give lesson... Sorry." Last message.... This is where it goes bad and his last message..... "Sir, you are a disservice to the guitar community, and it's egomaniac a-holes like you that should have their hands cut-off, since they only serve a purpose for your own benefit." ..... I didn't respond after that..... but I'm thinking I should do something for poor lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAS44 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Sounds like it's that time of the month for him. You did nothing wrong Duane, the world is filled with idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest farnsbarns Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I don't get it, he was complaining that you hadn't posted a lesson? I'm confused. Edit: ok I'm a little tired, I get it. I often find that insulting someone after asking for an unreasonable level of help from someone who I don't know and owes me nothing helps. Not.

Searcy Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Tough guy with a keyboard. I get stuff like that all the time on my YouTube videos. I'm one of the only pickup makers that will actually show people how it's all done and I regularly get accused of hiding the real secrets or not giving enough detail. brats.. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 You were right NOT to respond, Duane. You're not paid to give lessons, on YouTube, and have no obligation, whatsoever, to do that. That person seems quite "entitled," and frankly, somewhat unstable, to me. I'd avoid any contact, in the future, with him, at all...IMHO.

duane v Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 At least he called you "sir" ...... I guess you're right!!! I'll probaly do a quick vid tommorow and play it as slow as I can, and upload it on youtube for the dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy R Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I wouldn't do a damn thing to help this guy. Regardless of what you do he won't be happy! It will start a non-stop cycle of expectations. DON'T DO IT!!! NO GOOD WILL COME OF IT!!!! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Duane... I'm with Andy on this one. If you do anything to please him, it almost certainly won't be enough. That's today's "interactive media." There are advantages to such interactiveness, and there are disadvantages. You've run smack dab into one disadvantage. It's also why I was told once, now nearly 46 years ago, after taking crap from some letter-writers to the newspaper where I worked: "Don't worry sunshine, if they ain't *****in', they ain't readin'." In retrospect, that photographer friend pretty well nailed it. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
