Members Devinstation Posted August 27, 2006 Members Share Posted August 27, 2006 Originally posted by Snowcow Amen +1 Original is the way to go.One time I was playing an original of mine on a nice Fender American Tele one day, I was thinking of buying the guitar at the time.

Well, the salesguy came up and said that he thought the songs would sound great through some other guitars, and that he thought that Teles were one of the worst guitars designed. I picked up the tele and went at him like a lumberjack on crack. After the viscious beating I smeared his blood all over the tele and then began doing a Mexican Hat Dance over his corpse. Fender saw that the blood on the tele actually made a great color and promptly released the Fiesta Red that so many of us are fond of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members surfcat Posted August 27, 2006 Members Share Posted August 27, 2006 I just usually rip up and down the neck with some mindbending neo blues classical jazz licks til' the fretboard starts smoking. Or some Kelly Clarkson hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members surfcat Posted August 27, 2006 Members Share Posted August 27, 2006 I actually don't have a go to song-just whatever comes to mind. It sucks when nothing comes to mind though. Sometimes you just don't feel like performing for a whole store-I like it better when they have little rooms you can go into that are quiet so you can actually hear the tone.

Members garagebandking9 Posted August 27, 2006 Members Share Posted August 27, 2006 the second solo to mr crowley from the tribute album dee from the tribute album crazy train solo over the hills and far away zep little wing intro hendrix rock version of the unplugged Layla solo Proud Mary solo Since I've Been Loving You zep Red House hendrix and for good measure...and check for the guitar's willingness to comply...I play some cleverly devised complex chord progressions... I used to play some of this {censored} just to see if it would annoy the guys at GC...but once I started working there...I realized what I was playing was a treat compared to the guys that come in and shred on a muffled SS hardcore head with a cheap Ibanez...so now I need to revise my riffing...oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Man and Mer Posted August 27, 2006 Members Share Posted August 27, 2006 Originals, always. I want to hear how it will sound when I am playing what I will play. I'll play someone else's tunes when I'm in a cover band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play Red House at a sane tempo, Scarrborough Fair clean at psycho hand-cramp inducing levels, and procede to play a bunch of stuff that (for me) is technically demanding and thus requires a good instrument. I procede to play with my teeth to induce a 50% markdown:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dimmypage Posted August 27, 2006 Members Share Posted August 27, 2006 my fav guitar store riff is to detune the guitar ever so slightly and start thrashing out some very bad powerchords:D i learned this from visiting guitar center:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GAS Man Posted August 27, 2006 Members Share Posted August 27, 2006 Funny,Last time I was in a guitar store. (Small one) there was a young sales guy in there who immediately recognized everything I was doing and started either singing or mouthing the next part of the song progression.I mean it's flattering and embarrassing at the same time.I started off with the chord progression to "Free Bird"Then to "Dust in the Wind" finger picking arpegioThen to Zep's "Over the Hills and Far Away".I guess the embarrassing part comes when my riffology ends and the guys is singing along and the song is supposed to continue, but I'm like "done man"!My favorite riff of all time if from the Hollies, "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress".Vintage and Hot!
