No I guess I take guitar a little too seriously.

I thought it was in A sharp?

Doesn't matter, I play it in A.

Doesn't everybody...?

I too "got it" that it's a joke. But that one kinda bugged me too. Like a lot of humor, a matter of taste I guess. But then the "Blutto smashes the 'folk-singers guitar" thing in Animal House also bugged me, and many folks think it's the funniest thing in that movie.

If it's impossible to "explain" a joke to make it funny, it may be just as hard to explain a joke to make it not funny.

It only sounds right in Bb to me.

I played it once with a singer who wanted it in G. Too low. Sounded horrible. But I played it, and got paid

This is from a TV show but I like Lenny and the Squigtone a lot!

I love that movie. I have the DVD. William Kanengiser from LA Guitar Quartet played the classical parts. Ry Cooder played the slide parts and Steve Vai played the rest.

Jeff Beck in "Blowup".


No contest.


On any level.

Don, I'm a big Trailer Park Boys fan and have seen every episode. Can't beat the first 7 seasons from the original run, all classic, including the Alex Lifeson kidnapping episode. Although not a guitar related episode, the Rita MacNeil bus hijacking episode was a great music related show.

Watch out for the samsquanch!

lol too cool Dru

yes the rita episode with her harvesting with them singing "working man" is awesome stuff. LOVE the TPB, both me and my wife...shes my Julian (her nickname i gave her) and i use rickyisms everyday with my friends and employees

"A toad to sew" told you so
"pikealogical stuff"
"peaches and cake"
"A lot of people might say I'm stupid; I don't know; I don't think I am. I'm probably smarter than that, I mean. This thing here's smarter than me, I guess, but it has a battery."
"Rocket people, perhaps you've heard of them?"
"I'd like to make a request under the People's Freedom of Choices and Voices Act to be able to smoke an' swear in your courtroom."
"I mean, nobody wants to admit they ate nine cans of ravioli, but I did. I'm ashamed of myself. The first can doesn't count, then you get to the second and third, fourth and fifth I think I burnt with the blowtorch, and then I just kept eatin'."
"Unleaded tastes a little tangy. Supreme is kinda sour, and diesel tastes pretty good."

hee hee hee. I love ricky...JRock is my 2nd fav- you know what im a sayin

I even had my wife paint me a sign for our deck last summer

Another Candian classic, and best rock mockumentary ever, was Hard Core Logo. It had Hugh Dillon from the Headstones playing the lead singer, who later went on to act in a number of projects, most notibly the show Flashpoint. The guitar player was named Billy Tallent...

The best scene was where their drummer wakes up from a nap to realise they have passed a truckstop where he always makes them stop because they make the best burgers in the world. He also needs to take a leak, so he starts stomping around in their van, throwing a huge temper tantrum and threatening to urinate inside the van if they dont turn around. At the hight of his tantrum his foot goes through the rotten floor of their crappy old van as they are barreling down the highway... and wets himself.

I cant find that exact clip but you can find the whole film on Youtube.
