Straight up gunna guess, with no musical history or talent whatsoever, GF?
Yes
Thanks for being their GF
Thanks for thanking them for being their GF
You're welcome

hello welcome im dad
Long queue for cigarettes, huh?
Alcohol isn't any better, dear.
Brit spotted
Hi dad how’s the wife and kids?
You most certainly are, champ
Thanks for thanking them for thanking them for being their GF
I was going with FeLa….then realised i have no musical knowledge and Fe is not a note, but a chemical symbol.
don't make a chemistry joke don't make a chemistry joke don't make a chemistry joke
Does making a chemistry joke make you hard as iron?
Nobellium
GAH
That’s, uh, quite a reaction you had to his comment there…
Well fingering is involved so it makes sense.
I'm from ecuador, and I'm more used to the Italian sacles, so I was reading it as "mi sol" haahahahahah
Can you be my my sun kekek
But that's "sol fa"
Yea.... I was never good with the guitar hahah
Based
Yes but that's girlfriend in european
Which syllable is represented by mi would depend on the key center. Regardless of key center that interval is just a whole step. Mi to Sol is a third. If G is Mi this would read Mi Re.
Yeah... I haven't played guitar in a while so I don't remember the finger positions either hahahahah
That depends. There is absolute and relative solmisation - no guarantee, that that is the correct term in english, not a native speaker - and both use the same syllables. One is always in relation to the key center and the other is basically just other names for the pitches. So in relative solmisation fa is dependent on the key center in F it would be a B flat while in abolute solmisation even in a song in F fa would still be F. Edit: no clue which one is used in ecuador
You know it’s amazing they it works like that also.
No. G major F major.
Which is like a GF, but TWICE AS MAJOR.
As long as she’s not A minor
Wonderwall
Absolutely

A MINOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I am actually Mozart, and this is the answer
You damn americans that call the notes by their letters
I was here like: "Sol and Fa? Will you be my sofa? What?"
To be fair I translated „sofa“ from my language and my brain went. Do you want to be my couch? What?
The simple answer is the better answer.
Jokes on you, I’m British!
The chords are G and F major, so yes
good friend?
Yup, the chords being shown on the guitar are G and F.
I went with FB but same same haha
Yep, I figured it was that too. I know music, but don’t know anything about guitar fingerings.
This comment sums up how most of the posts on this sub are very obvious even without "getting " the joke
Allan Turing helping solve enigma without speaking German
My guess was hand on my guitar. You know like, that song “will you be my hand on my guitar? Don’t need no shining star. Music plays wherever you are. Here or there or far, be my hand on my guitar. You already are, that’s what you aaarrrreee”. It’s by Cordless Vacuum For My Studio Apartment. The lyricist masturbated a lot. That’s why the band broke up in 1988, before it started in 1989. They’re on hiatus right now, but they might start touring again in 1984. Just gotta fix that damn delorean.
How did you make it past those lyrics and keep reading?
Those are the g chord and f chord. GF=girlfriend. It’s saying “will you be my girlfriend”
G major and F major to be more precise. F major is a pain to learn. Espescially when paired with A minor and fallowed by D major.
never pair with A minor. Nothing good happens. Don't need no more drakes running around.
When I first attempted it... The chord sheat was a contemporary Christian song.
"This is the air I breath." If my memory serves me.
Can't tell if you intentionally ignored the joke or if it genuinely went over your head, which somehow makes it even funnier
It was the latter. Sorry, I really am a music theory nerd. My music teacher clls me a gear nut as well. I repair my own equipment.
Your response made his joke funnier imo. You know because of the implication
I thought they tried to continue your joke with the christian reference
You tell 'em, Kenny.
Barre chords are so hard to learn but once you get it down they're so useful.
I 100% agree. Drop D and Drop C frustrates me. I am so used to barred chords.
If I play in drop D/C/B/A I'm just playing a metal song lol
Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever learned a song in drop D/C/etc that wasn’t just power chords, which are even easier than usual in those tunings.
I mean like most of my experience with that stuff is Slipknot which still has fairly difficult rhythm guitar but yeah the power chord stuff is super easy
I thought that was just a FAD
Ok I totally got this joke.
Its a FAD and it is B major A minor D major. Thats really bad
X3321X… close enough
It is illegal because she is...
A minorrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Fingering even
There’s a funnier “drop d” potential joke somewhere
Yes, i would guess the f chord is played as a bar chord in this example. One could play the G in the same manner and just slide from G to F....
The chord at the left is Sol which translates to G (major)
The chord at the right is Fa which translates to F (major)
"Will you be my <GF>"
Will you be my Solfa (the l is silent)
MiReDo
I mean, sure, but why would you explain it that way?
Because everyone except the UK, the US, some Asian countries and some English speaking countries uses Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si, so it makes sense to use the most commonly used system.
Lol everyone except...an extremely sizable amount of people, which includes most of the English speaking places - the language with which we are currently corresponding
About 1.2 billion people use that system, or around 15% of the world.
I feel like most musicians aren’t gonna say ‘I’m playing a Sol Major chord’ or a ‘Mi minor 7 chord’ or what have you
They’re just gonna say G major or E minor 7 like usual
G chord and and F chord.
HE WANTS YOU TO BE CHORDS.
Those are the chords corresponding to G and F
Gluten free. Got it.
Chords, first is a G the other one an F. So girlfriend.
It's a g and f cord
GF
Those are the chords for G and F.
Will you be my G then F me?
awwww that's adorable
b minor
How is prangent formed?
And he sayes NOOOOOOOOO
One of the Tuskens Peter conducted choir for here:
The first image is of the G Chord and the second is of the F chord. So they're asking for someone to be their GF, or Girlfriend. Now Peter, get back here, we have practice in an hour.
The chords are supposed to be G and F. GF when u put them together
G major F major
I don't play guitar but that's gotta be either BF or GF
I play in C standard, so would you be my EbDb
Will you be my sofa? So romantic -
G F
….have I been doing F wrong for the last two years
Exactly what I was thinking. I thought you were supposed to only bar fret 1 on the E and B string and not play the lower E and A strings
It means will you be my “GF” meaning Gerald Ford. He’s essentially just asking someone if they’re willing to be his 38th president.
You can make the joke darker by removing the ring finger from the second pic
G.F.
My mind went to G-String instead...
I read will you be my Sol Fá?
g-chord f-chord gf
I don't know what the meme is about but this reminded me of the lyrics in Saturday sinner by Marcus King, he's my fav artist, recommend giving him a listen
Solfa.
The chords he is playing are G and F
That F chord stalled my progress by like 3 years now
I don’t play guitar and can’t read music but I’ll just go with the assumption that it’s the “G” chord and the “F” chord?
G major F major? Ehhhhh?
Gf
Neighbor
You cannot answer this unless you play guitar. Weak af. That’s a G and a barre F. GF. Cleverrrrrrr
my neighbor
Wow can actually answer one of these. These are the guitar chords for G and F. Put together you get gf which is shorthand for girlfriend.
The chord on the left is a G and the chord on the right is an F. It translates to will you be my GF
Will you be my GmagFmag?
They are obviously guitar chords the chords being G and F spelling GF
What sort of sick fuck would play f like that Jesus.
No I won't be your guitar guitar stop asking
"Will you be my hand holder at the black bar until we slide up to the white bar." 🤣
"Will you be my solfa" guess someone wants to sit on someone 👀
GF
To be overly pedantic:
“Will you be my retrogression.”
G F
I'm no guitarist but he's probably fingering GF
I saw two in the stink.
Guitar bros, is it that easy?
Fingering GF?
I was like "what does SolFa have to do with all of this?"
Entirely forgot about the ABC notation system
Nothing to fret about.
Corona and lime main squeezep
I legit thought the dude wants to finger her lmao.
took me like 2 minutes too long to figure out what the GF meant lol
Will you be my solfa
GF ( chords name )
The first chord is a G, the second an F. GF.
Boys, I’m going to send this to my crush. Wish me luck!
The guitars play the chords of G Maj aswell as F Maj, so it implies that the creator wants to ask "Will you be my GF" as for Girlfriend
Her: Yes, I’ll be your great friend
Weirdly, the G chord is the only chord from the guitar lessons I took 30 years ago.
