Dagan shows us the 8 songs that are ALWAYS played in guitar stores. Turns out it's not 'Stairway To Heaven' anymore!
In this very tongue in cheek video, Dagan shows us some of the most overplayed songs he's seen whilst working in PMT. Please note - we ACTIVELY encourage you to play these songs! They are great songs to hone your skills, learn new tracks and test out the sound of amps and guitars. They are great songs that we LOVE to hear you play, so keep doing it and keep pushing yourself to learn new songs!
Check out the honourable mentions too! We've all played these songs at some point on our journey.
Bonus points if you get the Tool album name correct ;)
0:00 - Intro
0:25 - No Stairway?! Denied!
1:29 - Pinch Of Salt Disclaimer ;)
2:23 - Gear Used
2:59 - 'Slow Dancing' - John Mayer
4:48 - 'Do I Wanna Know?' - Arctic Monkeys
6:15 - 'Crazy Train' - Ozzy Osbourne
7:10 - 'Can't Stop' - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
8:19 - 'Seven Nation Army' - The White Stripes
9:35 - 'Iron Man' - Black Sabbath
10:22 - 'Psycho' - Muse
11:16 - Honourable Mentions - medley!
12:11 - 'Schism' - Tool
13:33 - 'Higher Ground' - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
14:44 - 'The Chain' - Fleetwood Mac
15:39 - Final Thoughts
In this video, Dagan discusses why Stairway to Heaven is played (or not played) in guitar stores, and how learning some of these "overplayed" songs can help you really hone your skills and also help you test out how a guitar feels in your hands.
Did you know we hear John Mayer a lot in guitar stores? Did you know that 'Schism' by Tool and 'The Chain' by Fleetwood Mac are almost always played by bass players trying out gear?
In this fun video, we've rounded up the most overplayed songs that are actually some of the best riffs to play on guitar. They might not be the easiest riffs to play on guitar, but they're certainly the best songs to play when you're just starting out as they help you learn new skills whilst you're just starting out!
We also answer that great question - "is 'Stairway To Heaven' banned in guitar Stores?" paying homage to Music Is Win.

I’ve only tried out guitars in a store once, a few weeks ago, and it was a much more terrifying experience than I expected. Nervous, hands sweaty and shaking, forgetting every song or riff I know-and to make matters worse the guy plugged me into an amp that I didn’t know how to use and walked away (I’ve never used a real amp). Not pleasant.

I was in a music store right after Rush released 'Moving Pictures' (1981). Some dude was trying out a guitar and started playing 'Limelight'. Nearby was a guy trying out a bass and he obviously knew the song, and they started playing it together. It was seriously cool unplanned moment.

@lespauldisciple3349 3 года назад

Follow-up... I have a heavyily distorted crunchy chord pattern I like to play in stores. It's a B-A-G-A thunder riff with 2nd fret B5, 2nd fret "regular" A, grab and bend the 3rd fret G note on low E then back to the A chord. It's 'Mary Had A Little Lamb'. 😃😒

My iconic song in PMT Romford when in was in the old location back in the early 2010's, I would bang out one direction and sing it in store. I also did the deeds of sins and played every song down the list of forbidden songs and I had to walk back with a packet of biscuits haha I'm not sure if they hung out one of my legendary CV's too, I still have them somewhere, but they were special! ooh I miss being a teenager. I had so much fun in those stores and I have spent most of my money on guitars and keyboards since I started working even though I'm suppose to be saving to move out :)

@SamasakiXBL 3 года назад

As a bassist, I knew Schism and Higher Ground was definitely on the list for us, since Schism is easily the most unique and simple bass lines to play and Higher Ground being easy to learn for slapping. And the fact that I DID play them myself when I started out but realized soon that everyone knows it's overplayed lol Also, I didn't expect Dagan doesn't know how to slap! I watched his presentation on the GT-B1 because I wanted to buy it. He seems well versed in music so I'd thought he'd dabble with bass as well!

I very rarely play covers as I use guitars for songwriting for my personal pleasure. I have received many compliments for my songs from PMT staff.

This is so awesome. I went and played Sweet Child and then Sayonee when I bought my guitar. Now I just play basic chords :D :D

I definitely think you're on to something, Dagan. The last few times I was in a guitar store I heard several guys playing "Smoke on the Water" and "Iron Man". Cool riffs, but they definitely get overplayed in the stores I visited. The other one I kept hearing was "Breakin' the Law" by the priest that is the beast (Judas Priest). Still, it's nice to see people getting into guitar playing. 🤘🤘🤘

I've wanted for years to learn how to play guitar, because of one player and one song in particular: Terry Kath and his riffs & solo on 25 Or 6 To 4.

Great video, many people are intimidated playing guitars in music stores & not just because the guys that work in these shops are pretty tasty on guitar but if you only know 3 chords or none it doesn't matter because we've all gotta start somewhere & these music shop guys know this, so my advice is just have a go & bollox to what anyone else thinks

I've never understood that fascination with Slow dancing in a burning room. The riff is ok but sort of a familiar retread of something and the song itself is middling

I went to a GC in Texas and there were a bunch of teenagers banging on guitars not really playing anything recognizable. I got a Charvel off the wall and plugged into their BOSS display and dialed in and played Damage Inc by Metallica including the leads and next thing you know I had an audience. It felt good. I'm a washed up80s metal guitar player.
