Explain, please

Could someone explain the joke to a blonde whose native tongue isn't English? I know there's a pun in there somewhere, but I can't figure it out.

I play guitar and I dont get it. It's a pretty bland chord progression.

They say that if you add A minor, the T-shirt could be used after college as well.

A minor = a minor = an underage sex partner?

C Major = see major.

D Major = do major?

G Major = gangbanged major?

Now who the heck is this major, and what is he or she doing hanging around a college?

 

[Zeb_Carter]

It's a current college thing so maybe the letters and/or the finger position on the frets mean something to the current college crowd...my college days are far behind me.

You mean something like a bushologist? or muffdiver?

I am a certified open water muffdiver. Certified for deep or shallow dives.

I am also a licensed bushologist. I have a phd in bushology and can trim, shear or sculpt any and all style bush.

Major and minor are music terms.

Its whats known as tablature or tab. It shows you where to put your fingers on the fretboard. And those are the correct fingerings for those chords.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

Major and minor are music terms.

They are also college terms as what are you majoring in and what's your minor.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Yeah, and it's also a pun on having a major in studies, like I major in computer technology.


As for the placement of the fingers, all I can tell is that the D-Major looks a bit like a bikini..?

So, the G-major looks like he's flipping the bird at us, I suppose that's something to do with "getting laid" - but I still don't get it. Is it supposed to be a guide as to how to finger a woman?

 

[Huckleman2000]

I think it's just that, if you can play three chords on a guitar, you can get laid. It's the mindset that has launched thousands of bands.

Here is an online chord player. ?Click on the link in the middle-top of the page that says "Gootar chords", and a small window will pop up, and you can click on the letter of the chords and hear them.

Three sodding chords!
or

Three fucking chords!

That's all they need to know to issue a single and make more money than I have in a lifetime.

I believe the A Minor comment was in reference to their grades after college as in A-.

The rest is over my head. My college days Date back to stone tablets.

Geesh, what a far-fetched joke!

But I guess the learn-these-and-become-rich-and-famous is the bets theory we have, so far.


Personally, I liked this one better: http://www.bustedtees.com/prose

Now that actually is based on an idiom, "Bro's before Ho's", meaning, respect your male friends first, before females.

Don't feel bad about not getting the joke. It's obviously a very obscure music major joke and I don't get it either. I don't even see any pun in the "majors."

Og is right.

Three fricking chords is all you need to play in a band. And the main reason to start a band is, as we all know, to get laid.

Not all that funny tho, as jokes go.

I just bought this one the other day.

LOL! Okay. Now that's funny!

Other than the major chords are usually the first ones learned.

My youngest and I both have matching Jason Friday the 12th t-shirts. Different sizes, though.

 

[Boota]

P.S.: About the guitar chord shirt, you don't even have to do them the proper way to get laid. Just two fingers to make the fifth of each chord and you're golden. The Ramones made a career out of that.

I threw this out to some others and they all agree with what others have said:

The joke is that all you need to know are three cords to be in most bands and, thus, get laid. A put down on most guitarists in rock bands (they only know three cords) and those females who love such guitarists and would sleep with them.

For the record, I first learned Am, C, D, E, and F. All the chords for House of the Rising Sun.
