Jokes

Haha, it's funny for me because the only people I know who can read music go to college, and they're not even guitarists XD

I think that's the norm these days, but my kind of guitarists tend to stick together. My serious band was a clean divide. Me and the singer could read well, the bassist could read a little when we started and got it down as we went just because he's that kind of guy, the drummer and the rhythm guy we added at the end could not read. It could be frustrating because the singer could sight read better than me, but the bassist who could barely read and the drummer who couldn't read a note had a much better grip on theory and just better ears all around. There was always a lot of futzing around trying to explain shit in different ways to everybody. And then there was that 'rhythm' guy, aww jeeze. He's the reason you don't pick band members based solely on their affability. Sometimes I just wanted someone to club me over the head with a les paul and dump me in the river to die already!

Those are all pretty good. The reading joke wasn't meant to be a real jab or anything. I went to school in a competitive guitar program where high level reading was expected out of all the guitar students but that joke is repeated a lot there. Sometimes I use it as motivation for my students.

I didn't take it as a jab. Just saying, know mostly guitarists who read and also play another, more orchestral instrument (or two). So I never got that joke...

What's the difference between a rock star and a jazzman? - Rocker plays 3 chords in front of a 3000 people, and jazzman plays 3000 chords in front of 3 people.

I've hired Keith Richards to assassinate David Crosby and Roger McGuinn. I'm hoping to kill two Byrds with one Stone.

Eric Clapton has denied killing Omar Sharif.

That first one I've heard before

The second one was amazing. Just genius

Didn't get the third one (Maybe it's an age thing)

Didn't get the third one (Maybe it's an age thing)
