Most out of tune Guitar vids on Youtube

[amigarobbo]

I did see this guy who does setup videos on YouToobs and tunes up by ear to a reference tone every time he has to slack the strings off, which is an admirable skill and all that, and he's getting it right, and he seems to know what he's doing, but I ain't got time for that! I'll use my tuner thank you very much.  :redflag:

Speaking of out of tune,

Last summer I asked a new acquaintance what part of the UK he was from. He replied "South Africa"

Having a 'real' English accent - ie not Austin Powers, Dick Van Dike* in Mary Poppins etc. and not a heavy regional accent or the monarchy either - Americans usually think I'm anything but English, most commonly Australian.

I was asked if I was from Ireland once while checking into a Chicago hotel, by someone who worked with an actual Irish person. I know they did because said Irish person was also present at the desk and immediately exclaimed, 'course he's not fecking Irish!'.

Despite all this talk about things being out of tune, I remain unconvinced that you Muricans actually have ears.

[Cagey]

Of course not; it's very calm, having gone fission.

You trying to confusion me?

 

[Sovereign_13]

It's not entirely our fault.  To get exposure to more than the "London" and "Cockney" accents (quotations used because I doubt they're any sort of accurate anyway) we Colonials have to watch British TV/movies, which wasn't all that easy until recently.  For some reason, the media only likes those two, despite living in a country with at least dozens if not hundreds of regional accents and affectations. 

We even have a dumbing-down of our own accents in media.  Even to the point where having a Midwest accent will sometimes lead people from not-the-Midwest to comment that we "talk like TV people".  Because we pronounce our words correctly (for American English, anyway  :icon_jokercolor.

This was a series with a number of accurate regional accents. It's about various British workmen going to work in Germany during the Thatcher period.

It's also related to this song. (Maggie's hand refers to Margaret Thatcher)

I'm from California. I spent 11 days in Sydney one time. I had to try to pronounce things like a local to be understood. A lot of it stuck I guess, because for ten years after that people would ask me if I was from Tennessee. :icon_biggrin:
