    /// As he tunes his guitar, he’s resorting

    to some awkward and painful contorting.

    When it’s strummed out of tune

    nearby pigeons will swoon,

    and to catch birds like that isn’t sporting.

    Son, what are you doing with that guitar? It’s nothing lewd, is it?

    If you play really off key, music can be used to kill song birds.

    John had become so accustomed to rolling out of a woman’s bed as at the same time he slipped into his clothing (so he could flee from the husband) that it became the only way he knew how to get dressed.

    When Doyle claimed he played by ear, he often demonstrated the fact!

    Glenn did it again. He got his ear stuck between the B and E strings.

    The folks come from near and far/

    When Henrique plays his guitar/

    Though a few look askance/

    At his strange choice of pants/

    And his moves – which are somewhat bizarre///

    How do you explain to the insurance company that you were tuning your guitar and somehow got your ear stuck in the strings?

    Bing didn’t show up for the day’s poster shoot for “The Road to Mandalay”……so Bob did the best he could on his own. He preferred it that way.

    This is what happens when you play “Free Bird” in the key of “H”.

    Consider the humble guitar, / And how many it’s carried so far. / Presley, Hendrix, Lennon, and Atkins / Thrilled us all with their styles of “pickin’s!” / I’ll even salute Ravi Shankar with his sitar!

    My girlfriend told me to really excite her, I needed to find her G spot. I plucked and strummed the g string, but it didn’t do anything for her.

    Francois loved his guitar and the music

    He played to some seemed sweet and cherubic.

    The guitar’s curves like a girl’s,

    Vibrating strings a lover’s murmurs —

    His face intense in search of the right rubric.

    .

    Musicians have a soul sense others have not

    Poets have something like musicians have got,

    Words set out to stalk on a page.

    Music sounds fly from mind’s cage

    Harmonic-weave nests to gather and knot.

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:Guitarist by Jean-Baptiste Greuze (National Museum in Warsaw)" site=commons.wikimedia.org 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, and Yandex search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found, and once there find the text string player, and click its link for info and links that point to more info (best viewed using Google Chrome, which can automatically translate most webpages if necessary) about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3050 (December 27, 2022) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 5 works by this artist have been used here (6 times total, including a repeat). The January 1, 2019, strip has the prior (the repeat). The artist info URLs in my comment there were pointed to in my blog comment. I wonder if 10 string guitars were the norm in the 1750s.

    The prosaic explanation: He’s trying to tune it in a noisy room, so he’s doing contortions to get an ear near the sound box.

    That’s the problem with playing guitar. A violinist would demand silence in the room – and maybe also hears his own instrument better because of bone conduction from the chin on the violin.
