Music Store Culture

Current mood: chipper

Every time i go to a guitar store there are certain rules most guitarist know to follow. Some of these "rules" include but are not limited to....
1. dont play stairway to heaven, eruption, smoke on the water, etc...
2. always tune the guitar first. nothing makes you look more like a noob than picking up a guitar and playing it when the tuning is out of whack
3. dont act like a badass or guitar hero, cause it makes you look like a fag.
4. Dont try to play metal on a fender(or similar) amp, it just shows how little you know about amps.
5. dont play the same little fancy riff that you just learned on every guitar and ever amp, all it proves is that you are an annoying little bugger.

Im still just ammused by guitar stores still because the funniest crap always happens in them. Ive seen people break strings, ive seen owners take guitars away from kids for playing gay songs(fall out boy etc.) ive seen the kid try to  show off for his girlfriend by playing a greenday song only to have me come pull off some paul gilbert sweeps next to him. Idk i could write all day about all the funny things that happen in guitar stores and all the fun things you can do to embarass the noobs in them. Im not saying im a pro by any means, but i know what and what not to do in guitar stores. Guitar stores really do have their own culture.

I'm afraid I'm one of those kids you'll laugh at.
But the world does need some kids to laugh at, I honestly don't mind being one of them.. I'm still learning :)
