My choice: "Eventually they will find mandolins."

[Theo W.]

"Hey, are you in open G?"

[KEB]

Here are a few:

You mean you don't need to re-tune this thing every song?

You mean the 5th string on this thing is screwy too? (only mando players will be amused with that one)

So, this is how you get all the chicks?

Okay, Ned, if you figure out this guitar thing, you can make an album called "Ned Luberecheck Plays Noam Pikelney Plays Kenny Baker Plays Bill Monroe"

How do you hide a $100 bill from a Musician?

Put it under a Banjo!

[fscotte]

"Wow, they got some great sounding banjos here!"

[Jacob]

Is this how Earl played it?

[Drew Egerton]

You mean the strings actually go in ascending order the entire way across??

What's this 6th one for?

[Jim Gallaher]

"I don't know, Ned. They feel unusually large and awkward."

[Mark Wilson]

"I'm not kidding.... tune that thing or I'm playing the banjo"

[farmerjones]

"What kinda tone-ring you spose is in that one?"

[Ivan Kelsall]

" Show me again, which is the 'C' chord ? ",

An oldie but a goodie:

How do you get rid of the banjo player?


Ans: pay him for the pizza.


In all fairness when I originally heard this joke it was for a drummer. Could also substitute guitar, mandolin, dobro...
