Members BerkleeBill Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 You know ... Your bored and you go to CG to jam on some amps and guitars. What do you play? Me -- no Stairway or Sweet Child here. Actually, I've been trolling GC with Politician for a while now. I usually scoop the mids and make it sound especially {censored}ty before ripping into it. Often goes ignored, but is pure comedy gold when it actually elicits comments from people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dmantis Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 if I go into a music store , I play whatever comes to me weather I wrote it or someone else. It's all about feeling for me. I don't play to impress or have others listen when I'm demoing gear. I want to hear the gear not others opinions. If Stairway is the proper song to play at that moment I play it. I usually play what I have been practicing that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nightflameauto Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 I play whatever unless some ass decides to volume war with me. Then I crank up and play Overkill's Elimination. That either gets them to turn down or gets me thrown out. Either way, problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members notjonahbutnoah Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 I like to play ska and reggae. I never ever hear anyone noodling in that arena. Too simple to be seen in public playing. Same with surf. Pretty much all I have ever heard at guitar center from the customers is metal or blooze. They try to impress. If I actually take the time to find a cable, amp, and guitar, it's because I'm legitimately curious about how it sounds. If I wanna just jam, I'll stay home. I like my gear better anyhow. Not that I don't thrive on the approval of strangers though, I'd just rather get it at shows than at GC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Brady Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 I ask the guy working to play the guitar while I play with the amp dials since I can't really play guitar, then I criticize his technique. It makes me feel better about myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members greg apocalypse Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 I don't. I do, however, do amazing guitar center impressions in the band room at band practice. I just crank the clean and set my strat on the middle single coil, crank the hell out of the reverb and play chikn'pickn' garb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members -=Pennywise=- Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 I usually play a few open chords first to hear how well I can hear individual strings, move up a bit on the neck for some minor rock/blue/jazz riffs, then get up on the higher frets to see how well it feels, sounds for soloing. If it fails in any of those categories I put the guitar back on the rack and move onto another one. Sometimes this drives the store employees nuts, but {censored} them, if I'm dropping hard earned cash on a guitar, it's going to be something worth my time determining I really like it before even taking it home.

Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 when i GC i play scales as fast as i can, then as slow as i can, tighten each string until it breaks, lay the guitar on the floor, and leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
