Ok, I was in the guitar store today, and it struck me that this is a great chance to show off some stuff - you are surrounded by people, some wannabees, some professional guitarists. What do you play to earn the respect that is due to you?

I usually play some classical pieces which i always liked on electric (mozart and stuff), lol last time i was in a music store and playing guitar i did that tapping exercise from the freelicks site (the bach thingie) and some guy thought that i was really good . But you could also play collection of sins while singing the lyrics as loud as you can. That should raise a few heads PA announcement : "Will the customer in the guitar department that is burying his genitals pleas desist!" -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

awesome comments!
The last time I was in a guitarshop was when I bought a new guitar, it is my first good brand guitar (ibanez). I was just playing some exercises and malmsteen stuff. The people in the guitar shop couldnt hear me because I wore headphones, but one guy said my finger were built for the guitar (he had fat fingers) -------------------- The coolest new community: Lockerz Wanna join Lockerz?

Seriously I can't stand the guitar stores or the people in them here in Sweden. So yeah definately, I'll burry their genitals. is it that bad? Yes, maybe... When I was getting a new amp from a store on S:t Eriksgatan Stockholm (no names) I wasn't allowed to play loud since, quote - "We have to keep it down since we're neighbours with a psychotherapy institution"... all I could say was "Great place to keep a music store". Build a silent room for gods sake! I NEVER Stairway to heaven, NEVER Smoke on the water... some Ozzy stuff maybe. I always think, when I'm in the store, that I should have thought of what to play already before I got there. It's damn hard to come up with anything on site. -------------------- My bands homepage

Yeah i had a cool situation in Italy when i was buying my JEM. It's the biggest guitar shop in this region - trust me - IT IS HUUUUUUUGEEEEE!!
You can find any guitar, bass, amp, effects, pedals, strings, etc. there. First i was just walking around the store with my friend and saw all kinds of Kirk Hammet wanna-be-s - ofcourse none of them could play any of the riffs the right way. Then i picked up the JEM from the stand and plugged it in Carvin Legacy (Steve Vai's signature amp) and played some of my acoustic stuff. It was the song i wrote and made a lesson for you - the one with huge video explanations and some advanced chord stuff. Well - the funny thing was that like 10 meters away from me was a guy standing with a guitar and trying to play something and i noticed he had a damn cute girlfriend standing next to him. Well i kept playing this song and the next time i turned my head i saw his girlfriend standing next to me and smiling like i am the first guy she ever saw! hahahaha The guy behind her looked pretty angry hahahaha After that i went to help my friend to pick his new 7-string. I sat with that guitar and started playing around with whammy bar. Like 20 seconds later there where 6 people watching me. What i was playing is nothing but some of my songs and my own improvisation at the spot. I can say people are interested in something cool sounding and new because they can't stand any more of "Nothing Else Matters" or "Master Of Puppets". So i suggest you practice more improvisation. That will bring you much more use than some band's songs played 30000 times. Later you can even steal someone's girlfriend at the guitar store hahahaha -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |
