New member with a funny neighbour

Martinussen · April 13th, 2006, 12:45 PM

Hi everybody! I just joined after long time lurking, and I would like to tell you a story about my neighbour.

Basically he is a nice guy, but he is not that much into electric guitars.

He was asking about the difference between a strat and a tele. Well, I didn’t want to go too much into details (since I don’t know that many), so I told him that strats are very popular among blues players and teles are popular among country players.

Also, I told him that the fret board on a tele normally is a little wider than it is on a strat. Then he asked: ”Is that because playing country isn’t as fast as blues?”

:D That guy sounds like a real joker! lol... That was pretty funny. It's like when people think they are better at guitar than you because they are faster.

Me: Can you play tears in heaven?
Metal Guy: No, Eric Clapton sucks. Ever wonder why they call him SLOWHAND??? Huh??? eh?? :P
