Phrases You Never Hear in a Guitar Store 

I think all the customers sound like you

You can play Sweet Child !!! Here, you can have this Les Paul......

You sound amazing, here is a three album record deal.

3:09 Mrbeast be like

"Its our fault". "Sure you'll get a refund". "OK, we broke it, we will fix it". "We couldn't repair it. Just take another one off the shelf, we will deal with the distributor." "This guitar/bass/amp/cab doesen't make sense for you, there are much better deals for beginners". "Wait a moment, I'll just go to the storage and get you the model in the color/with the pickup configuration/the neck you want". "Sure we will order it for you". This is why I love the old mom and pop music store in my hometown, because those people will do all this things for you.

@Mervina Zeko hello fellow AM fan I freaking love you

😸👍

stop personaly attacking me ;0

These guitars are way cheaper than online.

I have! I saved up for a year and got 240 bucks, found a guitar that pleased me for 120!

Bass moment

Hahahahaha good one

Especially on Stairway To Heaven it's always the intro.

@@TimpBizkit or Smoke on the Water, or Sweet Child O Mine, you know what just any song with a famous intro

Lmaooo my dad would be like “why tf are you not even using an amp” anti social me- “I FoRgoT”

Bass is literally background noise. Just go ham man. Might entice a new guy to try bass.

@@kindredlebel9175 exactly!!! Add some fills it’s give the overall feel more grove and adds an extra layer to the song,

I pretty much use my electric guitar as a quiet acoustic guitar for when I'm at school

lmao before i bought my amp i practiced just the strings and chords and hey it kinda worked lmao

The guitar he was playing is a hollow body so you can definitely play it without any amplification and it would be fairly audible. A squier, on the other hand... That's rough lol

this is currently me 🤣 i'm saving up for a good quality amp right now so i can keep it long enough.I guess i'll just go unplugged for another few solid months...

@@sarcasmprophet2423 Fortunately the first few months is all about building calluses and developing the muscle memory in your fingers. Obsessing over tone and planning gigs comes later, so you can get by without an amp in the early days. LOL. If you are looking for an outstanding amp that doesn't cost a fortune, I recommend the Boss Katana series.

So true tho

Words never heard from a guitarist: "Maybe playing bass isn't just like playing a guitar with four strings!"

@@jaibhimadevi5805 Thank you. Just...thank you.

My first ever bass was ordered over the weekend and I can't wait to get it

@@maggersp Enjoy it. Do not be discouraged by the weight of the strings if you are used to a guitar. It will feel bulky and awkward, but you will get used to it. Seven years into it, and I still consider myself a novice, but it is a wonderfully satisfying instrument to play.

hi fellow bassist!!

hey, is that your aunt carol in front of the store? she saw you and now comes in. maybe play her a little music? it absolutley not embarrassing at all. just you, your aunt cheering for you, 20 other guys and the store crew

Hahahaha

i get a little (positive) rush of adrenaline though every time I see a banjo in our local guitar store because i've been meaning to learn it or at least figure out how it works for a whole while now and I wish I could do that Pete Seeger magic. Oldschool socialist songs just don't feel the same on a guitar

FH Purcell It’s not as difficult as you think; it’s actually a pretty rhythmic instrument, for lack of a more accurate term. Check out Jim Pankey or William Nesbitt if you want to get some lessons, both very helpful!

My guitar center has a room for like, country music instruments

If I'm in that guitar store then that will change.

That was literally the first thing I said the first time I went into a guitar store

Hey, a fellow cuber

Hey, fellow cubers

Why would you tune a guitar at a store to Drop C? The tension on the strings would be too loose.

A phrase I always say in a guitar store: "Could you give me a high end guitar plugged in a high end amp?" Then, after playing for about 5 minutes: "Yes, this is EXACTLY what I need. I am ready to finance if necessary, but I'd REALLY like a pack of the same strings that are on this guitar. They must be expensive, but I love 'em so much!"

"now that i tried it i'm gonna buy it on internet for 100 $ less" id a phrase you don't hear but everybody thinks 😂

update? :D

Same here brother. Hopefully you find the same joy in the journey to getting there. In the meantime, lick by lick, chord, note and scale, we get closer to satisfying our own ear. It really feels like an endless task. Good thing I enjoy it.

Anime Boi animations my dad said that before when trying to help me choose my first guitar, I went to probably the cheapest guitar I could find at first because I felt bad that my dad was paying

@@Maggotz4bra1nz thats a solid dad appreciate that. You're a good kid for trying to save their money too.

I've said this before. You really shouldn't buy a guitar for 100 bucks then not use it after a month, you should rather buy a guitar you like the sound and feel of so that you'll play it more often.

@@swooty2805 Exactly. Playing my dad's Taylor is way more inspiring than my Dean! So I will get a Cordoba.

@@swooty2805 ehh, idk, I was playing cheapo $100 Squiers for like 17 years up until yesterday, it only motivated me to make it sound better through frustration and forcing the cheap Squiers to do what I want. I can understand that those same feelings can cause others to quit, but part of me feels like it's better sometimes to see the worst of it to test how bad you want it before dropping a bunch of money on a nice instrument then hating it and never playing again. Idk maybe I feel that way cause my path through it was different.

John Greenbeck Lol or it’s close relative “oh man, I’d better turn off the distortion to make sure I’m sweeping correctly!” Lol!

This sounds like a phrase people would use, but since people are impatient they give up 😂, just keep playing y’all 🎸💯

I read this and thought "YES EXACTLY JUST KEEP PRACTICING" but then remembered that this is a phrase that no one says......

_The exact reason you should play it..._

And then suddenly, you find a way to change your price range....

@@Weaseldog2001 Reminds me of one of my first trips to the guitar store a couple years ago. I was just starting on guitar and looking at buying my first electric and the guy in the store just told me to try out whatever I wanted to learn what i liked. My two favorites out of probably ten different guitars of any price range i tried was a $200 Jackson Dinky, (which i would later buy as my first guitar) and a $2,500 dollar Paul Reed Smith, lol.

@@hotshot0476 it sounds like you chose wisely. These days, the difference between an inexpensive guitar and an expensive one is just not important for beginners. As long as it's playable and has good tone, then you've got what you need. Your skills are bot going to exceed the capabilities of the guitar. If I time travelled back to the 1970s I'd tell you a different story. :) But CNC machines and standardized designs, have done a lot to improve the quality of beginner guitars.

I literally only walk into guitar stores to play guitars I can never afford

NOTHING TRUER HAS EVER BEEN SAID

Believe it or not, my local Guitar Center is packed with knowledgeable, helpful, friendly employees. It's always a pleasure doing business with them.

@@cliftongardner4367 the one near me is quite the opposite, it probably varies wildly

That’s why I shop local. The store near my house is great; cool, helpful staff and they don’t even get pissed easily if you play Stairway. My local Guitar Center is awesome too but the experience there is nowhere near the shop by my house.

You've never been to Moore Music in Evansville, IN then.

correction: “something I and about every guitarist has never said”

Although this is far less impressive considering the circumstances, I went to a guitar store, and didn't even touch a guitar except when carrying it out. Didn't play it at all until going home. Also the guitar center I went to is still fully functional, just with a people limit of 4, mandatory masks, and a condensed store

@@coltz-pun7871 My local GC is fully functional, just masks and 2 person limit in the acoustic room.

If I'm just there for strings my dad would get the strings and we leave so even if I wanted to I couldn't

How rich are you

@@lightningincthefirst nah, more like I got a job with psychopath hours that allows me to comfortably buy a PRS at a calculated financial pace.

You laugh now, and keep it up. enjoy it while you can still muster a smile. Your GAS is doing 5 octave arpeggios in the studio 8 hours a day. So, 28 years from now, when it shreds on you and takes away the last bit of hope you had, and you look around and see the tens of thousands invested in gear, ultimately for what? To sit around listening to strings vibrate... then you have to either face it every day or face it, one-by-one as you sell them at a loss, realizing the real price you paid in missed opportunity to appreciate life.

dont worry. one time i went to buy a microphone and ended up buying a talkbox, Line6 amp, and Stingray bass

Rejoyce, I used to do that for picks. Gotta try them out, y'know...

I actually do this, I'm satisfied with my collection of 3 and don't desire other 99.99% of guitars usually in stores.

@@EddieOtool but the question is: thick pick or thin pick

@@sl1pz369 1.5 mm at the least.

@@EddieOtool yes, thin picks are all bendy and whatnot, i hate them

Paul McCartney you are paul mccartney with ed sheeran as a profile picture lol

Maty476 you could call him Paul Sheeran or Ed McCartney lol

Just let it be, Paul, let it be.

You meant 0-3-5, right?

They should have a _Smoke on the Water Day_ where everyone who is within reach of any instrument (guitar preferred but not limited to), or just a tennis racket, broom stick or air guitar if nothing else, all play just the one riff. Not any of the other parts, just that one riff for like 5 minutes straight (lols). Then we will have something mutual to complain about and there will be peace and unity all across this beautiful world.... it is a dream I have.

OMG

I've actually unironically said that though 😶

Through the whole video I was like wait so this isn't how it's done?

As a Canadian can confirm this is an accurate portrayal of guitar stores in Canada

Austin V. Good for u brotha. Remember, always be original

Go play Eruption by EVH and Through the Fire and the Flame by Dragon Force

Austin V. Welcome to the world of guitar! Have fun with it and be patient. It's worth the time

Very good

Austin V. Dont try to play anything too hard right away, trust me, you will ve able to play anything you want when you put in time and dedication

Hmm, something makes me think you're better than you let on. Usually it's the most thoughtful of people who end up being the most talented. It's sort of necessary really. If not, then just practice and *only* compare yourself to your yesterday-self. Then as long as you have a love for the instrument, you be really good soon.

You and me both, brother! :(

2 years into playing and i still keep it quiet cause i dont want to disturb the salesman. I also always buy if i go in there

Aylbdr Madison damn, you made me visually smile, that doesn’t happen a lot anymore. Thank you 🤘🏾🔥

Kjartan Johansen we should do musical product reviews, like play new pedals to show people that are at our level how it will actually sound when they play it 😹

Growing Up Gold I didn’t know any of that, I just kinda played riffs I made up

賛成うん Congratulations

Helena Bednarski thanks

I don’t know any guitar store where that would happen. If you’re worried about being bad all the time, you wont get better. Every good guitarist at some point was at the same level you’re at right now.

I don’t see that happening in any store, actually, regardless of what they sell.

I used to be like that when I was first getting into guitar, maybe 6 or 7 years ago. But eventually I just realized that it was only the start that was super awkward, once I got into it my confidence was normal again. So now I can care less, I set that amp to my settings, volume 3, bridge position, and whoever does hear me is welcome to, here goes the entire Holy Wars rythem track lol

Nah, they’re all usually hella chill

They make commission. They aren't going to drive off a customer when that's their money. They're going to do everything to make you feel welcome.

Yea, but they have some assholes in Canada too now, lols. It's not like in the days when Niel Young, Rush, Donald Sutherland and William Shatner were the few people we knew from Canada. But although they are generally much more polite, that doesn't always make them generous or concerned with the welfare of others. Take jordan peterson for example, that guy is a straight up asshole. Most Americans I know are a lot more polite than he is too, lols.

Stevie T?

As a canadian guitar player, I can confirm.

Stevie T is Canadian

As a Canadian guitar player, I can confirm I do most of the above.
