Episode 1 - The New Guitarist

"Episode 1 - The New Guitarist" is a sketch by Rest, Repose. It was released in 2016 on the official Rest, Repose YouTube page as the first of a 3-part series.

Plot
The sketch begins with Tony entering the Practice Space to rehearse with the band. Vince, Jared, Fluff and Josh are already there with Jared playing on guitar rather than drums. Everybody is confused to why Tony is there as Jared mentions that Fluff said that Tony "wasn't going to be there today", leaving Tony confused as to what he is talking about.

It then cuts to Josh mentioning that the others told him that Tony wasn't supposed to be showing up to the practice. It then cuts to Fluff explaining that for a while the band had been thinking about firing Tony and moving Jared to guitar because they always see comments on social media asking why doesn't Jared play guitar in the band and they thought they would give it a try, then mentions nobody told Tony. It then cuts to Tony wondering why everybody was acting weird before cutting to a small clip of Jared playing guitar.

It then cuts to Fluff explaining that he texted Vince to tell Tony not to come to band practice before cutting to Vince claiming he didn't recieve a text from Fluff before checking his phone and realising he actually did recieve a text. It then cuts to Jared sitting on the floor saying "I basically write everything anyway so, I don't care".

It then cuts to Fluff explaining to Tony that he's being fired because of the comments on the internet asking Jared to play guitar for the band to which Tony asks who is the internet to which Fluff replies 'it's all around us'. Tony then names bands that have three guitar players such as The Eagles and Whitechapel but Fluff still isn't convinced. Tony then mentions that they don't have a drummer as Jared was the drummer before and insists he can play drums after claiming that he's played before, eventually Fluff agrees despite finding it 'super awkward'.

It then cuts to Jared showing how the new song being written goes on guitar, Tony then asks if the song is in 4,4. It then cuts to the whole band except for Vince playing the song. Fluff, Josh and Jared do not look impressed with Tony's drumming but Vince loves it.

It then cuts to Vince saying the song sounded great with Tony's drumming and thinks everything could work out.
