(Singer/Recording Engineer to guitarist, while tracking drums)
S: Can you play that part, so we can hear how it aligns with the drums?
G: Sure. *Plays it pretty fast and sloppily, kinda just fumbling through the part in focus*
S: Um, could you play it a bit slower?
G: Okay. *Continues to play the riff at the same speed a couple of times, and seems to be playing that particular part different each time*
S: Come on man, just play it slow.
G: *Keeps on the same way, and when asked to focus on the part just looks like he isn't sure what he is doing*
S: So, what? You don't know the part? Come, how do you play it? You wrote it didn't you?
This is the part where one could mention that the band has been playing this song for about two years, and performed it live about a dozen times.
G: Yeah, just let me....Well..... I just checked the tab, and just kinda played it you know, I just played it. I thought it sounded good so whatever.
At this point everyone starts laughing together, but sob on the inside at the macabre somber of the situation. This is pretty much the lead guitarist of the band. Playing a song that he wrote, and has played and practiced for two years. And his idea of sounding good is taking four notes and just mashing them together between the chord changes. (Of course, with way to much gain for anyone to notice)

Still, I can imagine it'd make baby jesus cry, and I totally know the type!
