I see that you too, other one, have come in contact with this kind of guitarist as well. Yes, Hankypank Amateur is a clever foe, but he can easily be defeated in three easy steps.

1. Listen to his only (and usually pretty bad) self written solo

2. Ask him if he's written anything else (sometimes a bad chord progression comes up here: cut him short with your howling laughter)

3. Shred (I know, some of you hate shredding, but nothing says "eat my ass, Hankypank," like a crazy shred)
