    None of the above.

    I vote for waving the neck around as though it makes a significant difference to the sound you're making.

    That was too essential to put on the list.

    Playing with a pick while needlessly holding another between your teeth.

    Having a bit in your song where you chug on open E so you can point at the crowd with your left hand.

    Haha! Nice.

    Is it worse when a lefty does it and yet still points with their left hand? Or impressive?

    Bending strings down instead of up, really fucking annoys me for some reason

    Extra length guitar straps so the guitar rests on the thighs.

    All of the others are good in moderation and in the right context. Well, apart from the pointing at the crowd thing...

    From that list I'm going for divebombs. I hate trems. Waggling the neck around is just as bad though.

    Does that include bass players?  Seems a bit harsh, it's their only opportunity to show off.

    Indiscriminate vibrato. An astute term I first read in an interview with Alan Murphy many many years ago who was a master of controlled expressive pitch bend. I really dislike the kind of pitch wobbling that bears little relationship to musical context.

    Thankfully indiscriminate vibrato isn't heard so much these days, so hopefully it will be largely banished to the past.

    It's not a competition.

    Playing it behind your head, pretending to play it with your teeth, shoving the neck through a Marshall stack or laying it on the floor, pouring lighter fluid on it and setting fire to it.

    Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
