Ultimate Guitar

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Ultimate-Guitar.com is a shit site where all the guitarfags of the world have the chance to ape out at each other over who is better. The sites primary function is to host user submitted "Guitar Tablature", which helps retards who can't read music play their favorite new shitfest they heard on the radio. However, the main draw to the site is a Forum known as "The Pit", named for being the Internet equivalent to the sweaty gay orgy that metal and punk fans refer to as a mosh pit. Common to all users is a hatred for Guitar Hero (WHY WOULDN'T YOU JUST PLAY A REAL GUITAR?), and a love of either crappy acoustic songs or wanky metal with the ability to play neither in public.

[edit] The Pit

The Pit is the sphincter of Ultimate Guitar and is one of most obvious attempts to be another Ebaumsworld or 4chan. Although a standard internet forum, the language in The Pit has degraded into the same moronic squawking and memeing that can be found on /b/, although most users newfag level is way over 9000. UG even has 'raids' at times where a member will find a video of a shitty guitar player and repeat to tell them how horrible they are, all the while spamming UG FTW! because they are too dumb to realize the wisdom of Rule #1. Somehow, even though it is against the rules to do this on UG, the mods do nothing about it. Although debatable, the mods at UG are probably even more lazy than those at 4chan. They'll lay down the law only a couple of times a month, normally just to set an example to the other members who will ignore it anyways. Some mods also take their job too seriously and ban the fuck out of anyone for the smallest reason. This is completely okay though because the user broke the no spamming rule and posted something irrelevant in their eyes. An example of common board discussion is as follows:

“	You know the butt raping (which it wasn't because no one every refused it...) was the main driving force (lol pun) behind (lolpun2) our tight and firm connection (lololololol)	„

[edit] The Pear

Sometime last thursday, many users started posting the 'lol wut' pear to an extreme degree. Though, funny, eventually the mods decided to get butthurt about it and banned anyone on sight for using it. Not written in the rules, yet, still bannable within seconds. In 4 chan terms, think of it as CP.

[edit] Tabs

All of the tabs on this site are wrong, since it's all user generated content. Even if they managed to get the notes right, decent fingering technique is rarely observed. While it is possible to learn songs using these, you will waste more time wading through the 14 different versions of every song and patch-working them together then you would if you just listened to the song 3 times through and figured it out for your damn self. This issue will never be resolved as the only contributers to sites like this are horribly vapid teenagers or other layabout basement dwellers who never learned to read or play music properly.

WITH TABS, SOMEDAY YOU CAN BE AS GOOD AS THIS KID:
