I just wonder if anyone knows some (good) musician jokes.

Of the few I know, most lose their point when you translate them to English, but I'll give it a try anyways!

1) What's the Lord's most favorite chord?
- G sus

2) What do you get when you drop a grand concert piano down a gold mine?
- A flat minor.

3) And what do you get when you throw the piano on an army base?
- A flat major.

4) How do you spot a trombonist's child on the playground?
- It doesn't know how to use the slide and it can't swing.

5) What does a blues player's tombstone read?
- Well, I didn't wake up this morning...

6) How many groupies does it take to change a lightbulb?
- Don't try it, she'll blow the fuse.

7) Child to mother: "When I grow up I want to be a drummer". Mother to child: "You have to the decide, you can't have both".

8) A guy goes to the music store and asks the salesman: "Hi, I want a Marshall Hiwatt AC30 and a Gibson Stratoblaster with a Fried Nose Tremolo, please!" - Salesman: "You are a drummer, aren't you?"

9) What's this: It has 200 legs and 4 teeth?
- The first row in the Mississippi Bluegrass Festival.

10) (This one is especially bad): A tuning fork goes to the doctor. The doctor asks "Could you please say Aaaah". Tuning fork: "No problem!"

Hehe, maybe you like some of these, but maybe you some more to add!

I noticed the most common guitarist jokes are guitarists making fun of bassists. I remember one.

A father buys his son a bass guitar for christmas. The kid is happy, he immediately starts going to private lessons.
After the first lesson the father asks his kid "Well, what did you learn today?" ... kid replies "I learned all the notes on the E string".
After the second lesson the father asks the same thing and the kid replies "I learned all the notes on the A string".
Same thing happens after the third lesson and the kid replies "Well, I learned all the notes on the D string."
So after the fourth lesson when the child comes home, his father asks "So what did you learn this lesson???" and the child replies "OH gee dad, I couldn't make it to the lesson, I had a gig"...

Hmmm, I never was good at telling jokes...

I know some more bassist jokes.


1) What's the difference between a bassist and a bag of dirt?
- The bag.

2) How do you improve a bassist's playing?
- By tuning his strings.

3) A band's playing about their millionth club gig when they suddenly spot that EMI talent scout waving at them.

The guitarist thinks: "YEAH, after that song he'll offer us a record deal, finally! Wow, all the money, the first thing I'll get will be that '59 Les Paul... and all the girls!!"

The vocalist thinks: "Finally, a record deal. I'll be able to split from this sucker band and do my own thing.. and lots of money and lots of girls..."

The drummer thinks: "Wow, a record deal... money money money, girls, girls, girls!"

The bassist thinks: "E, E, E, E, A, A, A..."

4) The bassist and the guitarst are fighting backstage, when the vocalist comes to end the fight: "Hey, why are you guys beating each other?". Bassist: "He detuned one of my strings and the gig will start in 5 minutes!" Vocalist: "Yeah, and what's the problem?". Bassist: "He won't tell me which one!"

A guy comes into a bar. "Hey, I know a good bassist joke!", he yells. The bartender glares at him and says: "Look, I am a bassist. And do you see that big guy back there, with the baseball bat, he's my brother, and he's also a bassist. And do you see that guy back there, with the knife, he's my other brother and also plays bass. Are you still sure you want to tell us your bassist joke?"
The guy looks insecure, then says: "Naw, I don't want to explain everything twice!"

"Hey, what does snycopation mean?" the bassist asks. The guitarists replies: "The way you play beat 1".

And finally, a Strat joke! By the way, I own a strat myself and love it!

How many lead guitarists does it take to change a light bulb? 10. One to do it and 9 to say they could do it better.

I got another one.

A drummer, guitarist and a bass player are jamming and cant come up with any ideas. They are completely fed up. They break for lunch.
'Aw, man, tuna sandwich again, if I get one more of these lousey sandwitches I'm gonna jump out the window!' said the guitar player. 'Yeah.' said the bass player. 'Me too.' said the drummer.
They next rehearsal they all open their lunch to find tuna sandwitches. All three jump out the window.
Some time later, their wifes discover the tragity. 'Oh, I should've made him a better lunch.' said the guitar player's wife, sobbing. 'I know, I know, me too.' said the bass players wife, crying so hard she could'nt breathe. 'Dumb bastard made his own sandwitch.' said the drummers wife.

I was kinda picking on drummers earlier (what can I say, I play bass & guitar) so here's a drummer joke that's a little more favorable...

A conductor is leading a large jazz ensemble, and one of the drummers is playing horribly. All his rhythms are off the beat and he keeps speeding up. Finally the conductor gets fed up. He screams, "I swear, when a musician is too dumb to play an instrument, they give him two sticks and make him a drummer!!" The drummer replies, "And if he's too dumb for that, they take away one stick and make him a conductor."

A man walks thru a jungle with a native guide, after a while they start to hear drums in the distance. He asked the guide the drums were a bad sign. "No, drums good." he replied.
After hours of wandering thru the jungle, the drums suddnley stoped, and the guide quickley kneeled down and coverd his ears.
"Hey what's going on? What's going to happen now?" the man shouted, ripping the guide's hands from his ears... He then guide screamed... "Bass solo!"

Okae... heres two variations on the same joke...

Q: How many Bluesmen dose it take to change a lightbulb?

A1: Three, one to actually change it, and the other two to write and preform a song about how good the old lightbulb used to be.

A2: Several, one to hang onto the lightbulb, and the others to drink till the room starts spinning.

I've heard two nice ones recently..

1) A bassist goes to the music shop and asks for a new "state-of-the-art" bass. The shopkeeper shows him a nice 5-string bass, then leaves to help a customer and to have the bassist try the instrument out on his own...
After half an hour there's no more sound coming from the bass amps and the shopkeeper begins to wonder what happened to that bassist!
When he approaches the bassist he is shocked to see him lying on the floor, his face in a dark shade of violet and his neck choked between the 4th and 5th string of the bass.
"Hey, what's the matter with you?" the shopkeeper asks. Bassist (coughing): "Oh well, it's a great bass but I think the strap is way too tight..."

2) After having surived a plane crash Eric Clapton and Britney Spears walk through the jungle. Suddenly lots of cannibals capture them and bring them to their village. "We are going to eat you this evening", says the village chief, "but before that both of you have one last wish, that's a tradition here...".
Clapton, being the gentleman, lets Britney Spears have her wish first: "I want to sing all of my songs again, like "Crazy" and "Hit me Baby...", all the way through!"
The chief nods and asks Clapton: "Now, what is your wish then?"
Clapton thinks for a moment, then replies in a begging voice: "Could you please eat me before that?"

HAHAHA
