Joke a drummer in a band I was in told, after getting the usual drummer gags thrown his way....

Why is a drummer different from a gynaecologist ?

Because a gynaecologist only works with twunts during the day.

I know a drummer who will appreciate that!

Can you give an example of a guitar chord that you find difficult ?

Due to nerve damage caused by two slipped disks in my neck in my early 30s - most of them! But the further up the fretboard, the more difficult it is to maintain the necessary grip and finger positions.

Maybe if you spent that time working on your guitar skills, they'd have improved more.

I've got a pal who's a professional classical guitarist and he's the only person I know who would do something like use a barred open g shape in another fretboard position (other than open G).

I've played in pop/rock covers bands most of my life, so if you can't play it with the 'Axis Of Awesome' 4 chord sequence, it won't make the set list

Yes - practically I'd never do it, but when I learnt the CAGED system I got to that one and decided it was something I probably won't use - ever...
