Let's spread some musical misinformation

If you wanna play in Georgia, you gotta have a Fido in the band.

FTW!

 

[Jay2U]

We had a German Shepherd in the band, but he didn't get along with the groupies.

A breakthrough in the pick versus finger debate! Fender announced that P-Basses should exclusively be played with a pick, while the J-Bass has to be played finger style. If one fails to do so, warranty will be void.

BUT... that was AFTER tug bars were eliminated. The Fender Precision bass warranty clearly stated that the warranty was void if the bass were to ever be played with anything other than the thumb, and even then, if at least two fingers weren't actually tugging on the tug bar, the warranty was voided also.

Though many scientists don't like to talk about it, the data on Dwight Yoakam's loneliness after March 1993 is insufficient.

(my brother came up with this one, or found it somewhere)

 

[Tom Bomb]

The blues had a baby and they named the baby Lisa Simpson.

The first line in 12 bar blues is always repeated because the audience won't understand the song otherwise.

I thought it was to give the players a second chance at getting it right.

Oh, wait, this is the MIS-information thread. Never mind.

It is... Oh yeah, you gotta believe me... I tell ya... it's to support the singer. The singer who always... sure as hell... who always forgets the lyrics... I tell ya!

The best way to get started as a rapper is :-

Get your metronome going to a rap tempo and then read the back and sides of the cereal box to it while you're having breakfast.

Get your metronome going to a rap tempo and then read the back and sides of the cereal box to it while you're having breakfast.

Then, when exhausted from your training session, eat the cardboard box your cereal came in. Far more nourishing than the cereal itself.

"Tug Bars" are now legal in nearly half of the US States, however, the newly elected administration intends to enforce federal law outlawing their use and is predicted to incite a new civil war. Sympathy for bassist using tug bars is largely divided along the Mason-Dixon line and religious affiliation. Fender's public relations department has declined to comment in fear of alienating potential "legal" or "illegal" customers.

Here's a trick to make double ball end strings for Steinberger type basses live forever. Take the strings off and put them back on in opposite direction, every two months. This will make the atoms vibrate back to their original positions, keeping the strings in good condition.

Regular long scale strings can be used on a Steinberger with only a couple of small modifications. First, the neck needs to be replaced with a fender or other readily available neck. Second, the body is replaced with any stock jazz or precision body. The Steinberger will then take stock 34" scale strings.

They say John Entwistle was the first to play a modded Steinberger.

the ABC song, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Baa Baa Blacksheep are all the same song.
Wait a minute... That one IS true...

Blackstar by Bowie is just a cover.

A II-V-VI progression is the same as I-IV-V, only faster.

It's Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap's favourite progression as it's one better.

Probably just rounded them up into a pen.

Hence the Gerry Rafferty song line: "If you get it wrong, you'll get it right next time"

Don't sell that pink bass. It's perfect for playing Flamenco. Flamenco on pink basses is known as Flamingo.

You'll need to replace the 'tone' knob with a 'perception' knob though.

I believe that he played a Fenderberger

Lady Gaga had a headless bass made from pork products to go with her meat dress. A hamberger.
