Guitar Lessons for Nikola Tesla

After inventing the future, Nikola Tesla determined that he needed to abandon celibacy and find a companion.  To that end, Tesla sought advice from Jimi Hendrix.

“Women did not notice me until I took up the guitar,” Hendrix noted.

“Are you suggesting I should learn to play the guitar?” asked Tesla.

“Absolutely.  I can teach you a few cords and some flowing riffs.”

“It has to be an electric guitar,” insisted Tesla.

“You came to the right place, baby.”

A few days after this conversation, Nikola stopped by to visit with Jimi Hendrix again.  Tesla held in his hand a new electric guitar.

“Are you ready for your lessons?” Jimi asked.

“Yes.  But watch this.”  Without plugging the guitar into an amp, Tesla struck a loud cord and belted out in a high, raspy voice: “We’re on the highway to hell…”

“Is that what I think it is?”

“Yes,” answered Tesla.  “Bon Scott is in the same apartment building as me.  How can I go wrong with AC-DC?”
