Is Sam Ash the better normie music store?

I never see guitar centers in my area

the best shops aren't this large anyways, and mostly have a secluded room with amps that do not disturb other customers.
worst customers are pleb metalheads

Says no one gets bothered by anything much apart from the djent kiddies.

No one plays Stairway anymore

Cringe

they are desperate for attention and think they look like a badass. it's that simple.

No, this is not the reason lmao. Jesus dont you youngens know anything? It's because when the song was big people played it all the fucking time in guitar stores and employees got tired of hearing it all the fucking time so they would put up signs saying no stairway. There are much easier songs than fucking Stairway like wot

Playing guitar in public is purely for attention, and if you're good at it that's great, if you're not then please stop retard.

When I was a kid and all I'd seen was Wayne World (with Stairway dubbed over) I thought it was banned because it was a Satanic song and would raise the devil and shit.

Eventually I worked up the courage to download it on Morpheus. Confused by the acoustic guitar and keep fast forwarding to get to the satanic stuff, or at least the bit I heard on Wayne's World. Never happened.

I thought it was this psycho heavy metal song lol.

Never understood this, and I worked at a guitar store during university.
At the time it was mostly kids playing the main riffs / intros from Crazy Train, Raining Blood, Iron Man, Master of Puppets etc.
Sure I got sick of people butchering them, but it was a job that I got paid for.
People who work in music stores and complain about that shit likely have never had a real job and don't understand that there are annoying bits about having to work for your money.

I haven't been this entertained on Cred Forums post since Cred Forums had its posting timer removed.

You played 100 shows in a year?

What's the fucking point if you don't share it

Even with that much practice you probably sucked and that's why you didn't play.

i remember, that was brutal, wasnt there a video constantly playing about cuckold?

This is generally what I think about these stupid threads.

Nah m8, to be honest I go to guitar shops quite often and just stay there for an hour and jam. I haven't got any money to afford a nice guitar so I like to play the expensive ones

>ask for 6 boss ds1's
Fucking lost it.

I would do everything you said, too.

They wouldn't like me either cause I'd chain 16 fuzzes together and play noise.

I am extremely fortunate, it's worth the longer drive.

I think I only bother with guitar center for strings and accessories at this point, since it's in the next town over and cheaper than getting them shipped to me.

They never have a decent selection in the types of guitars and effects I use either, though the amps they sell are tempting.

Really? I understand the anxiety of playing live shows. I still get it like crazy right before a gig. But there's no reason to get that anxious when some friends just ask to jam or whatever. You gotta ease into it.

If you practiced that much and are serious about it then there's no way you totally suck. Just find some good friends, start jamming/practicing together and work towards doing a gig. Once you've practiced enough and are ready it's not so bad.

mmmmmhhhh yessss this is a good story user

No, I usually don't point out that I'm European. The thing is, Cred Forumstants constantly complain about how shitty music stores are. To me, this doesn't seem fair because I've never encountered a music store employee who wasn't helpful. I just figured that it was an American thing.

this happened on friday and i'm still itching to try it again, probably the nicest guitar i've ever played. if i'd had the chance to really mess around with the amp and all the knobs and switches on the jag itself i'd never have left but unfortunately i had a bus to catch
playing your own riffs on a gorgeous guitar is a fun experience

Huh, my Jag looks a bit like this one.

>I just figured that it was an American thing.
No, not really, it's what happens when you live in America and go to Guitar Center instead of smaller music shops and guitar stores.

All the places I go to in order to buy actual gear are much better, and far more helpful.

bless your heart user

G-d forbid the employees catch me playing an actual song.

This is why I love being a keyboardist, the sections aren't full of neckbeard and autists and I can usually get some quiet time. Every now and then some guitarist will wander in, struggle to play something on the keys, then get frustrated and head back to the guitars.

I was kidding dude. Nobody played Smoke on the Water. Actually I think Sweet Child of Mine was playing. Anyways I love Deep Purple and I played Highway Star too, fantastic bass line.

You really think someone would just do that, go on the internet and tell lies ?

Doesn't matter, both Black and Blackmore are great and you have a sweet sweet bass, definitly jelly and would shave my beard to muttonchops for it

Sometimes I like taking my guitars to guitar center to see how they sound with certain pedals and amps. As a bonus I try to sell it to them and they try their hardest to find the cheapest version of the guitar I have and offer me 1/4 of that price. I've had some offset Fenders tried to be bought at Squier prices and when I call them out they go "whoops didn't see that"

Some gold from an old thread

certain kinds of people are starved of attention. they are deeply compelled to do this, every fucking time. it doesn't bother me at all when kids do this (up till about 12 or so) but not random adults. it's just fucking sad.

Well, he was kind of right, nobody actually buys music anymore. But the album is still the preferred format. What's stopping you from writing an album, though?
