That's simple and extremley effective, so it's great to show off your "skills" for non guitar players Also, since I have played it on almost every guitar I've tried, it's a lot easier for me to compare guitars with than with any other riffs or random improvising.

I could add quite a few songs to this list!!! Sultans of Swing, Voodoo Chile, Walk this Way, Paranoid, any Nirvana etc!!!! I'm quite lucky at the Shop though, I have a little room out the back where i do repairs and Set-ups etc and so don't get the full force of all the Noodlers!!!

The volume is high and you are not really comfortable with the tone What do you play to warm up/showoff:D Starting shredding just doesnt feel right I'm so uncomfortable playing in a store with people that I play an amp really really low so I can just hear it.

Beginners normally turn it down, i use to... however, if turned down too much you will find the tone becomes muffed and loses quality at low volumes. Most amps have this issue, which is why some have a push/pull volume to change the wattage. Lower watts means better quality at lower volumes, high wattages actually means it would sound much better cranked way up! In a guitar store: 1) I would first check if in tune, some are really bad at this, giving you a guitar where the strings are out of tune and action is far to high, etc. Take a few secs to get use to the feel of the neck and adjust it or get them to adjust it for you. Nothing is worst than playing a poorly setup guitar and amp. 2) Adjust the tone to something you want, or get them to adjust it for you. 3) Just play around riffs and stuff you know, I tend to mix it up and just play random stuff and create my own solos. Most comfortable with this and then can move onto an actual song - see if they can guess it! I like something which build up over time and have various styles of playing to test out on. Repeating makes it easy. Changing tones and effects during a song is hard however. Add in the whammy/effects only if comfortable. Basic popular songs like Ac/Dc, Crazy Train, Metallica, Iron Maiden are always good to play, but probably heard a million times already. Green Day might be a good pick for something simple, but not very ranged. Avenged Sevenfold has a good mix. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Maybe lay into some classic "BB King riffage" with the cleans, then kick on the gain channel and shred out some Contra or Double Dragon (Nintendo songs), then hit Cosmin's "Vivaldi: Winter Arpeggios" lesson with some gain, and back to clean for some country chicken pickin' and lap-steel style bends!!
