[edit] Question

Why have people removed a great number of the moves that were up there? The Whirlygig and the guitar throw being two notable examples Wfco

[edit] Possible Advertising for the Amp Hump

The amp hump was most famously used by Jimi Hendrix during the Monterey Pop Festival. I don't see why he isn't mentioned while some relatively minor band is (especially if Jimi Hendrix predated this usage by a considerable amount).Secretwanderer 23:18, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Appreciation

Thanks, I was amazed it didnt' exist already. I'm glad the response to this article has been quite good. I'm trying to find more references before I add more moves, it's just a difficult thing to reference because everyone knows they exist but it's not the kind of thing that's usually readily documented. I think I have a Total Guitar with some references in, so I may scan that at some point. I'll bear in mind your suggestions

[edit] Improvement ideas

Thanks for a great article ;)

Some more thoughts:

  • What about doing some categorization of moves? For example, by extremity, danger level, destruction caused and how hard is it to perform - from very mild to most extreme?
  • It really needs adding some references. I've started to do some...
  • It needs more "typical", usual guitar moves, "very mild" level, not really required for playing, but employed to show off by lots of guitarist around. For example, classic trick is pulling one leg onto the monitor speaker, resting the guitar on that leg and playing solo. Or just rushing the whole body upwards and downwards while playing chords (a very simple version of windmill) - these stuff also needs to be listed?

[edit] Verification

unverified text needs to be removed from this article or sourced if it survives AfD.--Isotope23 19:03, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Unless it's really in dispute, it doesn't necessarly need to be removed, just flagged as uncited (e.g. {{fact}} ) --Rehcsif 19:43, 20 July 2006 (UTC) I'll let it stand as uncited/tagged for a few weeks while people try to find sources, but it if doesn't get reliably verified then it should be removed.--Isotope23 23:09, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

  • I consider it the author's responsibility to add sources; any removed content is in the history, anyway. Deltabeignet 01:13, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Exactly... it could always be retrieved from history and added back to the article if someone finds sourcing.--Isotope23 12:31, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
