You could play some stuff from Sailing the Seas of Cheese actually on a sea of cheese. 

What - it really IS cheese? Can you prove that?

You could play Moon River with no chance of someone shouting turn it down...

So how did Roland make the Space Echo work, eh?

I plugged it directly into the radio transmitter, and you heard it through the earphones in your spacesuits

the moons vacuum must really suck tone then

There is an atmosphere on the moon, but it's about one ten-trillionth of the density of Earth's (if I did my sums right).

If I remember rightly, it's still a better vacuum than the one inside a valve.

There's no air so there would be no sound, right?

According to Mrs TheBlueWolf yes, but I'd still be playing it wrong

With current technology - yes.

The hands of a spacesuit are too big to hold a pick, and definitely not suitable for fretting the left hand on an average guitar neck. Also with the various life support systems, you'd need a specially extended strap so it sits correctly on your shoulder. So, inevitibly, the guitar could only be played within the spacecraft, where a fairly normal atmosphere exists.

I bet you're a hoot at parties

Yes, because the moon is actually in a little know film studio in Hollywood. Er, allegedly.
