Topic: Retirement Home for Guitarists Joke

I head this Saturday evening, and am still laughing about it.

These two retired guitarists were sitting on the porch at the Old Folks Home. One of them had been a country & western guitarist for many decades (we'll call him CW), and the other one had an equally long career as a punk rock guitarist (we'll call him PR). They were trading stories about their lives, and also about how tired they'd gotten after touring and performing for so many years.

CW: "Yeah, it was a lot of work. After a while, most of the music just got tired sounding."

PR: "I hear ya. I just didn't have the energy to muster up all that anger any more."

CW: "I know. And I sure got tired of playing those same three chords all the time."

PR: "You mean there's three?"

Re: Retirement Home for Guitarists Joke

Now that is funny!  but I still have two more chords to learn

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".

LOL.  Good one.  On a similar note...

I forget who said it, but I think it was Sid Vicious, "Heavy Metal is what happened when Punks learned to play their instruments."

Granted B chord amnesty by King of the Mutants (Long live the king).

If it`s one chord played with passion & energy, why not.

Re: Retirement Home for Guitarists Joke

Great joke. Two chord masters don't have to be punks, I seem to recall Hot Chocolate had several hits using just two.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
