The Gitar of Fail is seen on Chris's back here.

The Gitars of Fail are Chris's custom painted Guitar Hero guitar controllers that make appearances in several videos. They are no mere game controllers, however; Chris likes to pose with the controllers, for example in GameStop Be A Star Sweepstakes as well as several videos. The Gitars also make many appearances in the comics, for example when going Jericho on 4-Cent Garbage, and also on the cover of his mocked-up copy of Christian Weston Chandler's Adult Chronicles. He appears to think that it counts as an actual instrument and gives him the skill to really play guitar.

Fun Fact: He fails at using the guitar strap.

Gitars through the ages

Chris made Bobby Kotick a very happy man. Judging from the most recent photos from Chris's room from October 2010, Chris currently has at least four Gitars of Fail:

  • The Guitar Hero 5 version, which Chris hasn't managed to mod to the extreme just yet
  • The Guitar Hero III Les Paul version, with Sonichu paintjob
  • The Guitar Hero I/II Gibson SG version, turquoise with US flag stripes and tons of stickers
  • A mostly black one.

It's not clear why Chris would buy more than one controller, as the controllers are mostly compatible with newer games and he obviously has no friends to play with, but then common sense has never had much to do with his video game purchasing decisions.

He may have had even more of them, as he sold another Guitar Hero III Les Paul on eBay in September 2009. He also had a customized Rock Band Stratocaster known as "Meatwad's Shredwud," appeared in a video Chris recorded in October 2009. Chris hocked this guitar on eBay around the same time, effectively selling a product identical to another cartoonist's intellectual property.

Appearances

The Gitar appeared in the PS3 History Level video.

In Chris's music video for Ivy, he uses the Gitar extensively to rock out for her. In this video, it appears that Chris has further decorated the Gitar since he first introduced it in October 2008.

The Gitar appears in his Cosplay for Grimace video. In this video he strums about 10 seconds of Bingo then sings Mark Will's "Don't Laugh at Me". He attempts to gain sympathy, but fails miserably.

He occasionally mimes out the main guitar riff in his "Boyfriend" video.
