Bassist Swings Guitar Around His Neck And Onto The Ground In On-Stage Flair Fail (VIDEO)

WATCH: Bassist Swings Guitar Off His Shoulder

Mason Wittmer is the rhythm guitarist for unsigned Pennsylvanian rock band StillWaiting - a man capable of keeping time, strumming strings and, um, throwing guitars around his neck.

Or so he thought, anyway, until one of his guitar swings went really rather wrong at a gig recently.

Caught on camera and swiftly uploaded online, the accident has gone viral on YouTube, with several more experienced guitar-swingers suggesting he invests in a strap lock or two before he tries it again.

Elsewhere, obligatory 'flying guitar' gags have been enjoyed, as well as a suggestion that perhaps the musical instrument in question was just committing suicide.
