    At 12:00 Sean says being insulted is his kink, so I feel authorized to say this. Sean's speech patterns are like an AI was told to generate a middle aged dude that talks like a valley girl. The up-speak, and the weird suffixing of "-uh" at the ends of sentences. I have a vague recollection of him saying he is from the Chicago area, as I am, but nobody, nobody there talks like Sean. All the same, he balances that annoyance with precisely the same amount of amusement.

    It's amusing that Sean said he'd rather never play music again than never listen to it, but then said he'd rather lose his hearing than his hands. So if he remained intact, he'd rather listen, but if it meant losing his hands, he'd never hear anything. That's some crazy nuance.

I could definitely do the holy grail guitar plus a backup of the same model, however.

    What part of (especially) having a beginner play open bar chords on this thing is going to help them when they get something with strings? Imagine trying to do that first thing,… learning bar chords (particularly getting to the point I had the muscles to do it) took longer than learning anything else. I don’t remember when I mastered anything but I won’t forget when I could finally play bar chords. That was a day I’ll never forget. Granted I learned on an acoustic but I’d assume learning on an electric isn’t much different, even if significantly less force is required.

    I think that since I play solo fingerstyle on electric I definitely would miss the high E. Even without a bass player the low E is used occassionaly for "special" effect. But the high E is always either a part of the melody or rhythmic accent. It's also a necessary part of my blues lead playing.

    I'm not a pro musician by any means, and nobody cares what my choices would be, but here's how I'd answer:
    1. Fame. The prompt doesn't preclude the idea that I'm personally artistically fulfilled. So I could be doing what I want to do, be disrespected by a handful of musicians, and make absolute BANK and bring joy to millions. I'd rather do that. If the prompt were, "Would you rather be rich and famous or a good artist, I'd probably choose the latter. But I've seen snotty artists look down on "popular junk" that's actually pretty good, so I'll go with the respect of millions over the respect of a few hundred.
    2. I'd rather listen to music. I LOVE playing and that would hurt a lot, but my music is but one person's work. I'd rather enjoy the bounty of all artists than only have my own paltry contribution to enjoy.
    3. Low E. Rhythm.
    4. Chicken pickin'. Shred is cool for a minute, but chicken pickin' is really cool.
    5. Now. I like my life now.
    6. I don't know the Boot Scootin' Boogie. I like the Canon in D. I'll go with C-in-D.
    7. Beatles on the rooftop. I'm a bigger Stones fan, but that rooftop concert was iconic. Although, Sammy G makes a great point about being able to fit in with the Stones more.
    8. Hendrix. I'm a bigger Hendrix fan, although both are awesome.
    9. Ooph... this one is tough. I think I'd rather lose my hands. I feel like we're pretty close to some cool robot hands. I'd rather be able to hear my loved ones' voices, too.
    10. Sammy G has the right answer. I don't need a tonne of women, but a tonne of guitars would be great.
    11. I'd rather be the worst guy in the room; I'm used to it.
    12. Trumpet. Louis Armstrong!
    13. Gibsons.
    14. I'd keep my guitar. It was a gift, and I love it.
    15. Waterboy. I have my dignity.
    16. Lou Reed insults.
    17. If I can regain guitars, I'd rather lose the guitars. Hair doesn't come back.
    18. I'd rather have a lot of guitars. Only one would limit me to acoustic or electric, and even on that basis I'd want more than one.
    19. Goodbye, fret 16!

    With the Low E vs High E
    I'd rather the Low E
    I can still play most chords, even a D/F# without the High E, I can play barre chords for a Dmaj/Dminor
