"I don't need to have an amplifier." True fact: my dad bought me my first guitar when I was 15. Just the guitar. No amp. He actually told the guys, "He doesn't need an amp. He's fine with just this." My first year of guitar was on a Squier with no amp.
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.
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.

“I think I should stop playing 7 Nation Army on a 1400 dollar Stratocaster because I am probably annoying the employees and they hear that song all the time”
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
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.

Idk maybe I feel that way cause my path through it was different.
@@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.

Last time I went to the store "just for strings" I walked out with 2 sets... and a new fender blues deluxe... After trying all different amps for about 2 hours. And using 3 different strats. One of witch I almost also bought. Sorry mom lol
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.
I was demoing an amp at Guitar Center and the associate asked "is that loud enough?" and I was like "eh, I don't need the whole world hearing how bad I am" and the dude was abolutely thunderstruck, like he'd seen a ghost.
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
I'm from Brazil, and when I've been to the U.S., I remember ”putting the guitar back to where it was and leaving everything neat and ready for the next guitar player”, as you did so. Seconds later, there was this guy at the store who have approached me, with a smile on his face, saying that he was amazed by what I've just done... Only now I understand why... 😆
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.
As someone who works in a music store, (greetings from NZ) the pick one is so true. They just disappear. Sometimes the shop tuners do, as well. Also, the anxiety when someone goes to grab a $3000 Taylor or Fender that's high up on the wall. It's real. 😂

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.
I went with my boyfriend the other day to a really nice guitar center that was recently built and some old guy sat behind him and was playing louder than everyone else in the store, so my boyfriend kept raising his own volume to match the man’s until the dude decided to leave. Old guy was annoying but the experience ended up being really funny, and my boyfriend took his volume down as soon as the guy left, I think it was a relief for everyone there
@@soopvvv dude i was being intentionally facetious. I know the joke is accidentally stealing the pic is so common. I was making the joke that stealing the pic would be illegal actually
I'm learning and I can't wait to be able to just pick up a guitar and play something awesome without really thinking about it. Always looks so cool to me!
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.
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.
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 😹
I've been to Chesbro Music in Idaho Falls multiple times. Grew up over there. Great guitar store! They have a great selection and great prices. Glad to see you went there. It is hard to get employee assistance though they're never around lol
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 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
I mean, I don't talk out loud to myself when I go into a guitar store, but two of those are true for me. There was that one time I went in and specifically ONLY played a bass - when I spotted a vintage Mosrite late-60's bass hanging on the used gear wall (and I do wish I'd had the $1,600 to buy it at the time). And, 9 times out of 10 when I do go in, I do ignore the guitars if I'm just there to buy strings.
The ultimate: "This looks good, is it fine for a beginner?" "The Marshall JCM 900 stack? Yes, it's a classics for beginners!" "I were talking about this guitar actually" "Oh, the Gibson Custom Shop? Indeed, that'd be a great deal for you. But let me show you the PRS section, too"
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.
On that last one, I went in a store about a month ago after years of not playing. Walked around, looked at guitars, didn't pick one up. Bought picks (still had a couple packs of strings from before) and went home lol. Given those years ago, I probably would have picked up a guitar.

"You dont think I'm I too loud?" "...no I can't even head you.." "I dont wanna disturb you, I don't wanna be rude" "..what are you talkin about" *"y-ya know what, would you like a thousand dollars?"*
I never realized how popular it is for people not to tune their instruments unless its noticeably out of tune... I tune every time just out of habit and it makes me really happy to hear it in tune
I recognized the store this was filmed in! Chesbro’s music, Idaho falls ID, I took piano lessons in the upper level of the store, roughly around this was filmed. I play mostly trumpet now though, which I bought from this store as well. Checked the description, and sure enough this is the place!
I literally switch back and forth between guitar and bass in GC all the time. When I see a hofner, or Rickenbacker bass, I can't just walk by without playing it. Same with SG basses.
The first time I went to a guitar store, I was really nervous at first because I tend to get anxiety near strangers. I walked in and all of that anxiety disappeared. There were guitars, basses, drums, pianos and much more and I spent a good hour in there even though I only came for some bass strings
Something I have never heard: Customer: "Hey, I have this really unorthodox plan for using this (insert guitar/pedal/amp/tuning usually associated with a genre) for (insert a totally different genre). Would you mind helping me out?" Clerk: "That sounds awesome, I am a fan of people trying out new stuff and I am not going to tell you that I think you are wasting everyones time by experimenting and should just stick to mainstream choices!" Being able to buy stuff online just made my life a lot easier. Guitar store employees tend to make me feel ashamed for my questions.
The pick part reminded me of the time I loaned MY pick to the Guitar Center employee that I encouraged to try the guitar I was testing. He pocketed it and I was like "uhhhhh.. hey.. can I have that back?"
Am I crazy or do the employees in this store all sound like me? XD

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

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
"Alert security; we have someone being considerate of other customers, so he's clearly planning a robbery."
I’m the type of guy that whenever I see people picking up an instrument I start thinking “I hope they know how to play”
I have heard all of these phrases in a guitar store bcause
*C A N A D A*

My dream is to meet you so we can play "Smoke on the water" together
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.
I went with my boyfriend the other day to a really nice guitar center that was recently built and some old guy sat behind him and was playing louder than everyone else in the store, so my boyfriend kept raising his own volume to match the man’s until the dude decided to leave. Old guy was annoying but the experience ended up being really funny, and my boyfriend took his volume down as soon as the guy left, I think it was a relief for everyone there
This video should just be called "canadian guitar stores"
As a Canadian can confirm this is an accurate portrayal of guitar stores in Canada
@@coolnamepending7604 I got told by a Toronto metalhead employee to turn down when I was trying out an amp's clean sound. Oh those provincial towns!

Through the whole video I was like wait so this isn't how it's done?
Something nobody’s ever said in a guitar store: I don’t think I’m gonna play an overplayed riff today
0-3-5
0-3-6-5
0-3-5-0-3-0
賛成うん well overplayed riffs are often beginners do it. I only know smoke on the water because I justnstarted
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
as a bass player as well...the lemme try a bass line had me in tears lol
A phrase you never hear in a guitar store would be “in looking to buy a piano

"I will buy a pack and replace all the strings"
something i've never heard in a guitar store:
"where are the basses at?"
I said that and got laughed at,
**bassists crying**
🅱️ASS is 🅱️est
I am going to SLAPP you, because I play 🅱️ass! You are not EPIC!
@@ryanhancock8962 playing 2 notes for 5 minutes isnt epic
I'm learning and I can't wait to be able to just pick up a guitar and play something awesome without really thinking about it. Always looks so cool to me!
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.
I keep my guitars quite cause I’m bad, not cause I’m nice
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 😹

I've been to Chesbro Music in Idaho Falls multiple times. Grew up over there. Great guitar store! They have a great selection and great prices. Glad to see you went there. It is hard to get employee assistance though they're never around lol
I’m wayyyyy too awkward to *ever* see myself actually going to a guitar store. I feel like I’d be judged and low key bullied the whole time lol.
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.
Legend has it that Tyler is still looking for a tuner to this day.
Phrase I never hear in a guitar store:
“Hey, you sound really good!”
“Dude who plays smoke on the water anymore?”
Me
A phrase i have never.heard is, " I won' t play starway to heaven because I know I will be stopped" haha
"Hey, can you play louder please ? I almost can't hear you."
I thought you meant "guitar" phrases
The licks.
MarcusZBD Dacillo me too
That's what I thought... who knew he was just gonna be a dick for 5 minutes lol
I thought that as well
same here lol! came for the phrases stayed for the lols!
Guitar nerds in the chat
I mean, I don't talk out loud to myself when I go into a guitar store, but two of those are true for me. There was that one time I went in and specifically ONLY played a bass - when I spotted a vintage Mosrite late-60's bass hanging on the used gear wall (and I do wish I'd had the $1,600 to buy it at the time). And, 9 times out of 10 when I do go in, I do ignore the guitars if I'm just there to buy strings.
The ultimate:
"This looks good, is it fine for a beginner?"
"The Marshall JCM 900 stack? Yes, it's a classics for beginners!"
"I were talking about this guitar actually"
"Oh, the Gibson Custom Shop? Indeed, that'd be a great deal for you. But let me show you the PRS section, too"
What is this supposed to be, a canadian guitar player?
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.
I’m glad I came with you. It was totally worth the three hours of my life watching you look and touch everything.
On that last one, I went in a store about a month ago after years of not playing. Walked around, looked at guitars, didn't pick one up. Bought picks (still had a couple packs of strings from before) and went home lol. Given those years ago, I probably would have picked up a guitar.
What about "Hey you sound great, try Stairway to Heaven too!" from an employee.
I’ve literally done that last one. Anxiety of playing in public
Cory Brotherton I expect you to own up, son. What if zombies were to hit us right now? Are you gonna be a wimp when it’s time to play the killing game and help save humanity?
Something I never heard before in a guitar store, “Do you have any discounts?”
The "putting it back where it once was" is truly what you will not see everyday.
Things you never hear....

I heard that one :)

Your channel is so wholesome. Rock on, brother!
Employee: “Let me hear Stairway to Heaven”
We’re feeling generous and charitable today. Pick a guitar, any guitar. It’s yours... no charge.
"You dont think I'm I too loud?"
"...no I can't even head you.."
"I dont wanna disturb you, I don't wanna be rude"
"..what are you talkin about"
*"y-ya know what, would you like a thousand dollars?"*
I never realized how popular it is for people not to tune their instruments unless its noticeably out of tune... I tune every time just out of habit and it makes me really happy to hear it in tune
"I'm going to play the most budget friendly guitar in here! No need to try out these $3000 guitars..."
Something you never hear in a guitar store: "I wonder what Stairway to Heaven sounds like on THIS guitar"
"I think the Acoustic is more my jam than this electric guitar, I'll make my way over there..."
I recognized the store this was filmed in! Chesbro’s music, Idaho falls ID, I took piano lessons in the upper level of the store, roughly around this was filmed. I play mostly trumpet now though, which I bought from this store as well. Checked the description, and sure enough this is the place!
Imagine being a uke...

That
Now that, has NEVER been said 😂😭

Omg yes
"This is so cool. I am so happy to be here". - Girlfriend -
I literally switch back and forth between guitar and bass in GC all the time. When I see a hofner, or Rickenbacker bass, I can't just walk by without playing it. Same with SG basses.
The first time I went to a guitar store, I was really nervous at first because I tend to get anxiety near strangers. I walked in and all of that anxiety disappeared. There were guitars, basses, drums, pianos and much more and I spent a good hour in there even though I only came for some bass strings
Not to get political or anything, but what's a tuner?
Ha
I think this is a joke lol
Tuner tunes what needs to be tuned.
A fish
A device you use to tune a string to the right note
"I don't even play guitar"
They usually have drums there, lol
There ARE beginners who want to learn, and need a guitar. I was one of those.
Sometime its just fun ti browse all the different color guitars
I was resisting this channel for a long time but this one got me
Many were good! But putting the pick and the guitar in place, turning off the amp and wrapping up the cable... That was hilariously true!! 🤣🤣
Today I joined Guitar Super System, and i have to be honest, never had so much fun learning guitar. TY! :D
Something I have never heard:
Customer: "Hey, I have this really unorthodox plan for using this (insert guitar/pedal/amp/tuning usually associated with a genre) for (insert a totally different genre). Would you mind helping me out?"
Clerk: "That sounds awesome, I am a fan of people trying out new stuff and I am not going to tell you that I think you are wasting everyones time by experimenting and should just stick to mainstream choices!"
Being able to buy stuff online just made my life a lot easier. Guitar store employees tend to make me feel ashamed for my questions.
The pick part reminded me of the time I loaned MY pick to the Guitar Center employee that I encouraged to try the guitar I was testing. He pocketed it and I was like "uhhhhh.. hey.. can I have that back?"
