    Don't be afraid of guitar stores. Just play Stairway to Heaven and the guitar store will be afraid of

    Bad guitar store experience: I walk in and ask to play a $200 guitar hanging on the wall. Salesman says, "Are you planning to buy it?" Me: "Not anymore."

    I like the guitar stores where they set you up and say "have at it, I'll be behind the counter if you have any questions". I don't need someone hovering over me the whole time!

    I'm not scared of guitar stores. In fact, I love them. The employees though, that's a different story.

    Praise on the fact that Mary actually addressed why we need to go to guitar stores in person

    I hate going guitar stores. I'm too scared people are watching and judging my playing not sure why but I've always been the same

    HI ! I've been playing for a little over 55 years . One bit of advice . If you're trying out ANY electrified guitar , be polite ,but don't let a salesperson immediately plug you into amplification . First see if the instrument feels " right " in your hands . There will probably be more than one type of guitar . Try them ALL !

    I'm left handed. When I go a guitar store, they have one Squier and one Epiphone and that's it pal.

    As long as you aren't that person that's WAY too loud or trying to show off, you'll fit right in.

    Guitar Center isn’t scary or intimidating, it’s down right unfriendly.

    At age 49, I decided after having open-heart surgery that I was going to learn to play guitar before I died. I randomly picked a guitar store that was a Mom and Pop store about 30 minutes from the house. I got to know the salesman that worked on Saturdays. He would let me hang around for 2-3 hours and try any guitar I wanted. Never pushed me into any sales but answered every question. In the course of a summer I bought 3 guitars from that store because of him.

    Shortly after turning 14, I was shopping for my first electric guitar, having played a few years on acoustic. There was a row of little music shops, a couple of which were essentially pawn shops and at the end of the block was the big one - Steve's Music Store, an institution here in Montreal.

    I was at my in-laws', stopped by a local musical instruments store. When I walked in, I saw a Gypsy couple with a toddler in there. I mean, it was really pictorial, their attire, the man's three-piece suit, all-golden teeth, etc.

    I instantly forget everything I know about guitar as soon as I walk in to a store.

    In guitar stores, I'm certainly a 'merry spender.'

    If you visit a guitar store always buy something: picks, strings, etc. It is the small items that give them the highest percentage profit. Most guitar stores would go bust if they only sold guitars and amps.

    The most intimidating thing is the price tag....

    You shouldnt worry with your chops. That acoustic jam on the Martin was amazing.
