You can't, because she can't find the key and doesn't know when to come in...

well, if we're expanding on the original joke...

What's the definition of perfect pitch?






When you throw the banjo in the dumpster and it lands on the accordian, first try!




How do you get 2 flautists to play unison?








Shoot one...




What do you get when you throw a piano down a mineshaft?







A flat miner (minor)...






just a couple of many.... I collect 'em!

you guys are asking the wrong question; it should be phrased... How many guitarist does it take to afford a pack of light bulbs?

It all depends on how much mojo is in that lightbulb

"Sweetie, you KNOW playing guitar takes both hands, can't you change it this time, please?"

"I KNOW you changed it last time, but remember: I made the four dollars last weekend that allowed us to buy a new bulb, and besides, we were getting pretty good at getting around in the dark."

"Yes, I did buy those two new guitars last month, but I really needed them, and they had this big sale, see..."

"But it's eating regularly that causes people to be overweight, not that yo... OUCH, THAT HURT! (Three beats.) AAKKKK! My baby's got a ding here on her upper bout!!!"

"Well, now you have to clean up both the broken bulb you threw, and the blood - I'll help you in a second, I just need to work out the transition out of the bridge..."

"If everyone lit just one little candle, maybe I could see enough to jot down ideas for this new song running through my brain, "Guitar Playing, Light Bulb Changing Blues."

What do you call a musician with a roof over his head?



Married.... (so true)

One more:

Did you hear about the guitarist who was in tune ?


Neither did I

How many car salesmen does it take to change a light bulb?











I don't know. Let me ask my manager.

I just use the coated light bulbs. They last longer, even if they aren't quite as bright.

Now here's some information I can use! Now I know why my mirror ball doesn't work. The guitars made the lights go out. And yeah, in the grand scheme of things, what difference does it make if you play a light bulb or a banjo? And guitars and light bulbs are like armadillos and balloons.
