"I do... but that's not it."

I also had a teacher who thought that a "rhythm guitar" was a bass. That was halarious

"Do you play lead or rhythm guitar"
"Depends on the song."
"So, you're switching between two parts?"
"Yes. I switch between lead and rhythm guitar depending on who wants to play what and if the song I'm doing even has a rhythm part. A lot of bands don't even have two guitars though."
"Wait, I'm confused. So you play rhythm guitar?"
"No. I switch depending on the song."
"You switch between two instruments?"
"What?"
"I thought you said you switched between lead and rhythm guitar."
"Do you even know what a rhythm guitar is?"
"Yeah, it's that low guitar."
"I think you're thinking of a bass."
"No. I'm not thinking of a bass."
"I'm sure you are."
*this goes on until we're both confused*
Teacher: "Uh... *plays air bass* *sings in lowest register* BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM"
*facepalm* "Okay, quick music lesson *explains*"
