Drummers.
I have to come out of lurking since there are demeaning musician jokes
flying around....
A boy began taking electric bass lessons.
When he came home from the first lesson, his father asked, "What did you
learn at your lesson today?"
"The first four notes on the first string," was the reply.
When he came home from his second lesson, his father again asked, "What
did you learn today?"
"The first four notes notes on the second string," said the boy.
Another week went by, and again when the boy came home his father asked,
"What did you learn today?"
The boy replied, "Oh, I skipped my lesson today... I had a gig."
One time my guitar instructor (who was a well-known lead guitarist in
the local music scene at the time) told me that I played lead guitar
like a ... bassist!
Years later, the first band that asked me to join them wanted me to be
their bassist! I had never played bass before, but they were quite happy
with me playing bass! Still, I was glad we finally hired a lead singer
who also played bass - I much preferred playing keyboards.
