"This is Chet Atkins room here..." says Peter, and the guitarist is saying "Wow! Chet Atkins!" "And this is Merle Travis' room here and Marcel Dadi's is over there..." and the Fingerstyle Guitarist is totally in awe.
Finally Peter shows the guitarist to his own room. Before Peter leaves, he says to him, "I have to ask. Is Hedges here?" Peter shakes his head sadly and says "I'm afraid he needed to... spend time in Pergatory. But he'll be along soon enough."
The guitarist is disappointed but goes to his room and tries to get some sleep. He's woken up in the middle of the night by someone playing - a Harp Guitar - and it sounds just like Michael. He presses his ear to the wall, and listens more closely. Someone in the next room was now playing... it can't be .... a fingerstyle version of “Pinball Wizard”. The fingerstyle guitarist is confused as it sounds so much like Michael Hedges. The next day he tells Peter that he is almost certain that Hedges is in the next room.
Peter pulls him to one side, and whispers into his ear, "Shhh.... don't tell anyone. That's God. He thinks he's Michael Hedges"

A young, single woman is feeling very ill
and has an extensive series of tests done by her doctor. After
weeks of tests and more tests, the doctor calls her in. He tells
her, I have to be frank with you the test results are not good.
You have an incurable disease, and it is terminal. I would think you
have no more than six months to live.
Devastated, she sobbingly asks the doctor, is there anything I can do?
The doctor says, well, if I were you I would run out and marry a
Fingerstyle Guitarist ASAP.
She asks, How will that help my illness?
The doctor says, "Oh it won't help your illness;
but it will make that six months seem like an eternity!"

A bluegrass guitarist wants to improve his
playing and decides to go to the academy of music and become a
serious
musician. But first he has to pass a little test in musical theory. The
teacher asks him
"What is the subdominant of "C"?" The bluegrass-guitarist doesn't
come up with an answer, so the teacher says
"Could it be, you don't know what a subdominant is??"
"Of course I know that!", he says
"So what's the problem?"
"I always thought, that "C" IS the subdominant!"

A new Joke submitted by Dave G
A visiting music lover wanders into a back alley antique shop in San Francisco's Chinatown. Picking through the objects on display he discovers a detailed, life sized bronze sculpture of a rat. The sculpture is so interesting and unique that he picks it up and asks the shop owner what it costs.
"Twelve dollars for the rat, sir," Says the shop owner, "and a thousand dollars more for the story behind it."
"You can keep the story, old man," He replies, "But I'll take the rat."
The transaction complete, the tourist leaves the store with the bronze rat under his arm. As he crosses the street in front of the store, two live rats emerge from a sewer drain and fall into step behind him. Nervously looking over his shoulder, he begins to walk faster, but every time he passes another sewer drain, more rats come out and follow him.
By the time he's walked two blocks, at least a hundred rats are at his heels, and people begin to point and shout. He walks even faster, and soon breaks into a trot as multitudes of rats swarm from sewers, basements, vacant lots, and abandoned cars. Rats by the thousands are at his heels, and as he sees the waterfront at the bottom of the hill, he panics and starts to run full tilt. No matter how fast he runs, the rats keep up, squealing hideously, now not just thousands but millions, so that by the time he comes rushing up to the water's edge a trail of rats twelve city blocks long is behind him.
Making a mighty leap, he jumps up onto a light post, grasping it with one arm while he hurls the bronze rat into San Francisco Bay with the other, as far as he can heave it. Pulling his legs up and clinging to the light post, he watches in amazement as the seething tide of rats surges over the breakwater into the sea, where they drown. Shaken and mumbling, he makes his way back to the antique shop.
"Ah, so you've come back for the rest of the story," Says the owner.
"No," says the music lover, "I was wondering if you have a bronze Electric Guitar Player."

David dies and goes to heaven. St Peter says ' how did things go for you back on earth?' David says, 'not too bad. I left a wife, 3 kids, a pretty good bank balance, no mortgage and my wife will get another $100,000 from the insurance.' 'Great', says St Peter, 'what was it you did while you were alive?' ' Oh I was in Real estate.' 'Good, come on in' says the St.

An electric guitar player comes to the doctor and complains about a serious deterioriation of his memory. He especially has a hard time remembering correct time changes and is afraid to lose all his gigs. Since the doctor can't find the cause, he asks the electric guitar player to leave behind his brain for a week in his lab for more detailed examinations. After seven days the guitar player fails to show up, and even after 2 more weeks there's no sign of him. Finally the doctor runs into him on the street, grabs him and asks: "Excuse me, but your brain is still waiting for you to stop by and pick it up, so why don't you show up?" The electric guitar player says, "Well, I think you can keep it; I finally switched to drums..."

A fingerstyle guitarist (FG) is walking on
the beach when he accidentally kicks a bottle. The cork falls off and
out pops a genie.
"Thank you Oh Master for releasing me from my prison of the last 300
years" the genie exclaims, profusely grateful to the FG. "And
because of your kindness" the genie continues, "I will grant you 3
wishes". "But I must caution you" alerts the genie.
"And what's that?" asks the FG.
"Well, you can wish for anything you desire, but whatever you ask for,
every electric guitarist (EG) in the world will receive double" explains
the genie.

"$10 million in small bills" says the FG unhesitatingly.
"Good choice, Master" and poof!! right there on the beach are piles and
piles of $10s and $20s. And of course every EG in the world now has $20
million in their account.
"And your next wish, Master?"
"A brand new Taylor PS12C Presentation Series Guitar and presto! right
there on the beach is the most beautifully inlaid and superb sounding
acoustic guitar he'd ever seen. And of course every EG now has 2 of
these guitar's in their living rooms; knowing of course that they aren't
going to know what to do with one, much less two.
"You've made excellent choices thus far, Master; what is your final
wish?" The FG thinks for a minute, rubs his chin a moment, squints at
the bright sky and says, "You know, I've always wanted to donate a
kidney" ...
