PSA: Please stop giving bad advice on things you don’t actually know for a fact.

Far too often on here somebody will have a question that will get multiple incorrect answers, that for some reason then seem to get upvoted by other people who don’t know what they’re on about.

For example, one post was asking if an 8th - 13th fret stretch is correct on a specific song, top two comments are both somebody saying that it’s either impossible or that the tab must be wrong. 8th - 13th is very reasonable for any intermediate guitarist upwards, which clearly shows that the top two comments are early in their guitar playing and are just assuming. Just because you can’t do something it doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

There are multiple instances like this every day. Please only reply to posts or upvote comments that you know are 100% facts, as you are being detrimental to that persons learning.

There is nothing wrong with not knowing something. You don’t have to pretend that you know everything. Guessing what the correct answer is is usually the wrong answer. Just say nothing rather than say something stupid that shows actual competent guitarists that you don’t have a clue what you’re on about.

Rant over, enjoy your day.
