Tomo Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 "Well if you can't play anything else... drumming is the next best thing I'spose" Drummers can't play a melody (though I've heard one do it once!), they just create an added flavour to a tune, they are the one that gets all the attention, they are the ones that get to do a 5 minute solo at the end, And they get to wear a hat!

Bryon Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 :drums: Q: How can you tell a guitarist is at your door? A: By the Dominos Pizza hat. Q: What do a guitar solo and premature ejaculation have in common? A: You know it's coming and there's nothing you can do about it.

Bryon Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 (Said in pompous tone :rolleyes1:) One should really treat with disdain such remarks from the unwashed rabble They only have a go at us because of their inferiority complex, but I assume it amuses them!! :stirring pot: And just to keep the NES off thread What's worse than telling jokes about guitarists? Laughing at 'em. What did the guitarist do when his teacher told him to turn his amplifier on? He caressed it softly and told it that he loved it.

BigPete Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 A quiet, :confused: uneasy hush fell over the NES as Bryon nee (cryin') commits the Faux Pax of the 21st Century. :black_eye: Not realizing that most contributors to the NES either are guitarist :thumb_up: themselves or have one as a family member :thumb_up: or aspire to be one, :thumb_up: Bryon has in one hit alienated all contributors (99%) in one foul swoop. thumb_down:angry: Its now up to KickStartPete :big_grin: (who is NOT a guitarist) to once more restart the NES for all and sundry. :thumb_up: Even Tomo (who is still not old or tall enough to go on the big kid rides at Adventure World) knows enough not to do the strummer jokes. "Gosh" :ah_oh: gushed young Tomo "Bryon Bro you sure stopped the NES in its tracks" Even the Rat,:heart: who spent many a wonderful afternoon pluckin' away in his Aunt's garden remains unusually quiet. :raise_eyebrow: "" said Slarti12stringsIsMeBartFast, "this could take forever to fix" How long would the NES rest. i_dunno Who will be the hero who saves the day......

ahlocks Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Bryon had rolled off a clever snare :drums: to up the tempo of NES, and then paused as a riff gained momentum. :cool_shades: The neck shredders :guitarist:, unable to keep time on their own, twanged off a few staccato retorts, but they were bassless () and unable to sustain a rhythmic attack. As their arrangement became more disc(h)ordant, the guitarists began to quaver and unable to stave off the up coming slur (yes, it's actually a musical notation) "What do you call a group of guitarists?" taunted a timpanist from the back row. "a lick clique!" she jeered as she nochantly leafed through her law texts. (The wind section remained tight lipped as they were saving all their hot air for discussions about rego labels. ) "We'll distract them with sax!" suggested Slarti(pianoman)Joel. "That alto stave them off!" agreed Tom Tom. "Yeah, guitar players are notorious for thinking with their crotchets and believing that they are going to score." added Ahlow :amazon:as carefully placed his lyre :augie:onto it's stand.

BigPete Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 With a crash of cymbals and a sfz cres. chord (Em7b9) from the brass section Bari enters the NES "I've got tone" he says to the astounded ensemble :ah_oh: - "and my sax is almost the biggest :thumb_up: you can get." And with that he sat and played the Lisa lick from the Stinsons - from pp to ff he ad libbed (to the layman he huffed and puffed (and improvised) and blew the house down) to the cheers from the NES crew. " "said SlartiFingersBartPresto, "this Bari bloke sure knows his scales. I can't remember the last time I had to play in the Lydian and Phygrian modes." i_dunno Hastily the percussion section huddled into a corner to discuss whether Slarti was in breach for using bad language (Lydian and whatever he said). :confused: :confused: They were still at it hours later.... Meanwhile - the brass section :heart: (trumpets, trombones and the tubas, have cracked open a keg of XXXX (which was cooled in ice and cleverly hidden inside the largest timpani) and are heatedly discussing whether the french horn players should be allowed to join them.

Guest Decca Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 And on another tangent the mayor of Asp Valley has been looking for any opportunity to address the masses again.
