On this episode of the #GuitarStoreTour I’m in a lovely location in Iowa called Lidgett Music, and there are a lot of people who look just like me doing stereotypical things of guitar store patrons. From inappropriate reaches for expensive guitars to that one dude who just keeps playing blues licks, these guitar store customer profiles will certainly be people you’ve encountered. Also, newsflash: if you can’t find the guy who’s got way too much volume within the first 5 minutes, you are the guy with way too much volume. Make sure to follow me on Twitter to see where the #GuitarStoreTour will stop next, and tune into my TH-cam channel for new episodes every Wednesday. 50 States. 50 Guitar Stores. 50 Weeks.
so basically... play drums? lol
Fk I just realised that I'm every single one of these, combined.
"...to that one dude who just keeps playing blues licks." You found me!
Karen!
It’s hilarious that the “dude with too much volume” is the only one that looked like he was actually trying to be quiet 😂
im the SIT DOWN WITH A GUITAR AND IMMEDIATELY FORGET HOW TO PLAY guy
Same lmao😂 I get nervous even though no one is paying attention
aren't we all??? I'm grade 7 (UK guitar grading system going from grade 1 (Lowest) to 8 (Highest)) and I went to try out this peerless, fuck, I couldn't play a single thing
@@techreviews3539 same here dude
agh same
Im the guy who just wandered in there to look at guitars even though hes broke and doesnt know how to play
Where’s the “kid who just started playing, wants to get his first guitar instead of borrowing one, plays super quiet and does a social anxiety turtle retreat when anyone comes by, then marches out of the store in embarrassment”
weirdly specific
In right here
i felt it bro
I'm in this comment and I dont like it
Wait, that’s me
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was his house and all his guitars
Not possible because there were non prs guitars
Memes & Guitars it is his house
i would be bc theres no pedals
There’s couches so maybe.
@@Scotsmen look at the description
I’m “the one who really wishes there was a guitar store near him”
Edit: Bruh even after a year this comment still gets a fair bit of recognition lol. But anyway thank you all for the likes, it's nice to see people relating to others and sharing their story.
One Mystery I feel you, closest guitar store is 45 mins and guitar center is over 2 hours.
I literally have no guitar store near me unless jbhifi is counted
Same
Feels
Same :/
You forgot the guy that has his volume way low b/c he thinks he sucks.
He had that one
It was the way too much volume guy
strataluke that’s not what he’s saying though it’s more like the opposite.
@@sirturd2954 did you watch the video the way too much volume guy was he turned down because he was too loud
That one is me, but I am not that great. Lol
What gave you the right to call me out like this
I once ran into a weird tremolo guy at a guitar store. I asked what he was playing, and he said, "What does it even mean to 'play' something?"
Then he gave me a Crunch bar.
It expired in 1992.
Etherium Apex beautiful
.........did you eat it? lol 😂.
i lost two brain cells and saw 6 dimensions...
im a weird trem guy too i love crunch bars !
he vibin on 1038828183781 different levels
I thought the “weird tremolo guy” was a joke until i started working at a guitar store and witnessed it for myself
Tremolo bar*
Get ready for the famous weird tremolo guy Steve T
What makes them weird
I am the weird tremolo guy, and I am certainly not a joke.
it sound fucking amazing though ngl
He basically roasted every single lo-fi artist to exist
Plot twist this isnt actually a store, he just slapped price tags on the guitars in his guitar room
Gearheart this comment is hilarious lmao.
Gearheart lowkey what he did
Dats alot of guitar
give me one
No there's not enough PRS. lol
I'm more of a "Looks at all the guitars but doesn't ever ask cuz social anxiety and no money" kinda guy
I can relate
So basically, 90% of all guitarists
I think that category fits all guitarists. Not because social anxiety, but broke AF.
Aren't we all?
too real dude
1:42 that guitar. I like it. A lot.
It's a white strat
It's a Fender American Elite Stratocaster
i dont even have a guitar.
i have a bass.
why am i watching this.
I'm a bassist too. Idk probably trying to find things that Guitarist and bassist have in common
Same
maybe its a sign.
@@zk560 shut face
@@ChaseThePinballWizard join us.
I'm the guy who doesn't even plug into an amplifier because I don't want people even hearing a glimpse of how much I suck
Lol me too
Everyone sucks at one point. Practice like crazy and you'll get better
Same tho
It's a year later. Any improvement?
@@qua7771 still waiting.......... :’(

You forgot one, the guy who sits around waiting for other players to start playing so he/she can start ripping a solo over whatever they are playing
:D
Stay tuned for next week's episode ;)
And uses the same A minor penatonic scale no matter he's playing over!
Oh wow, they even exist in guitar stores? Man nothing is sacred
stay in tuned*
I'm the "I really wish I had a private booth to test things in, because I get crippling anxiety that everyone is just focusing on me and judging even though I've been playing 10 years and there are other people playing too." guy.
Nic Lastname a *Whole Mood*
I get nervous and fuck up when family wants me to play something too, but it went completely away when i tried an electric on a guitar store, I forgot 99% of the songs I knew, but I played 1, and I played it damn well while there was a lot of people just staring at me, someone using drums, and a kid on a bass guitar lol
MY FUCKING MOOD EVERYDAY
Shut up
We are all that guy
Once in a while I got into a guitar store, a delivery man came in, after he had done with his job there he politely asked someone who was playing the guitar with the effects to lend that guitar, and then he blasted the store with Eddie Van Halen Eruption with a clean Legato trechnique and flawless tapping. What a moment!
No replies? Let’s fix that.
01:42 To be honest, that's one of the best "little wing" covers I've ever heard on TH-cam. I hope that you made (or about to make) a video of you playing it.
What about the "leave me alone guy" who just wants to shop without being bothered constantly by employees.
Me too my man👌
Can I help you sir? We have a new Gibson Les Paul in Ocean burst and it's only 6k. 😊
Everone
Me when my dad talks to me while I’m playing guitar in my room🤣
Me lol
I’m the “forgets how to play then when I remember all I remember is g d c” guy
so i'm better, because i remember G D C e minor
I feel called out
Frr
me too
Lucky I only remember 0 3 5
1:42 okay but that one was actually really aesthetically pleasing ngl
Because of these videos I felt safe going to my local guitar center, I tried guitars and I bought a super nice mahogany flying V Jackson.
Also. I'm the Drop D dude, though that's because a lot of Japanese rock uses that tuning.
I’m the “I wish I could play guitar guy”.
Then get you a decent guitar and amp and find some simple lessons on TH-cam! I got my first guitar and amp for Christmas and while it's not a Fender or Gibson because it's my first guitar it's still great quality! Along with the Yamaha GA 10 amp that has knobs for bass, treble, and a button for overdrive. These 2 things combined with some of the extremely simple introductory videos by Marty music, you should get a few simple riffs under your belt in a week or so. It's a long road of course, but if you keep practicing and learning, you'll eventually be a great guitarist, I believe in you. 😁
@@1mariomaniac that was so halpfull even tho i can already play im upvoting both of these so beginners can see theis!
@@1mariomaniac learning guitar wait don't press that skip butt-
I'm the wish I could afford a guitar guy.
(This goes for everyone in this thread) then stop complaining about your problems and learn
That tremolo part sounded like a good start to a chill lo-fi hiphop track
K
We found the weird tremolo guy...
@@flynncarter229 so you don't like hiphop, or fender. you're a weird lad
Lo fi is cringe
@@Davenport81 you're cringe
The metal guy looks like he's having the most fun.
0:25 That guitar was dangling like "The Sword Of Damocles".
0:58 I'm practically a G, D, C guy.
2:00 just pissed off all of the indie dudes
Mac demarco is fuming
Ah yes, next to the chorus pedal and 7th chords, the *W H A M M Y* is the sustenance of all Indie dudes. How dare you filthy mortals mock our ways.
What about the litterally always plays Seven-Nation Army guy?
Dont call me out man.
Wanna hear wonderwall?
Hector Parks
Not. WONDERWALL!
Smooooooooooooooke on the waaaaaaater
@@furkanunal8268 fire in the sky
Funny story I was at a guitar store and there was this cool line 6 amp. I didn’t know how those amps worked since it was all digital and crap. So for some reason the amp wouldn’t work and then all of a sudden I play a note and bam the amp starts working and the note rings out at full volume. So embarrassing 😭 😢 😢
I'm a simple guy, I just play Pantera the whole time.
not gonna lie these videos make me afraid to ever go into a guitar store so i dont get made fun of for something haha
truth is nobody cares as long as you're not doing anything obnoxious. so no worries, just come in and try out as much as you can. I personally play simple chords when testing out. you don't come in there to show how awesome you are, you are there to see if the instrument is comfortable or not. what people think of you don't change anything, they won't even see you again afterwards. cheers!
I think you hit the nail on the head. As long as you are going in to try out some products and not going in just to show off, then who cares. That's what the stores are there for.
Snap.
nobody cares unless you're being an asshole, like too much volume
@@kingebin9830 Why the hate over Stairway or Sandman at the store? I'd give anybody a sawbuck if they could play either one fairly well instead of the noise I usually hear and I'm average at best.
this video gets an instant like for the immediate drop D
Annihilator - Blackest Day
You mean, you immediately Dropped D like?
Sorry for that bad pun.
what song is it?
I’m the one who checks their entire inventory and takes screenshots before getting there so I do minimal talking and interacting with the employees lol
I think this is your best video yet!
Well done!
I'm the guy who walks in and plays the pumped up kicks opening line on each and every guitar
Relatable
I’m offended by this!!! I’m ALL of these stereotypes in one!
Aksel Helstad so am I! 😅
we know.......we just saw it on this video 😂😊😂
you're ofFENDERed, aren't you? hehe..
I'll go home. sorry.
@@mountainmickey2434 Please do.
@@mountainmickey2434 boooooo you suck
You forgot about the classical guitar guy in the dark back corner of the acoustic section rotating between the six classical guitars that they have in stock. (Me)
Im the guy that just picks whichever guitar looks nice at a reasonable price and buys it without playing it first because i only know easy songs and i suck.
Are you better at guitar now?
so we just gonna ignore that he is playing smoke on the water really quiet at 0:45
MisterNateee no
I didn't even notice
2 octaves high
I noticed that too then I thought it was my imagination.
The worst thing is the one riff guy that tries out every fender guitar available
Nah. That I can be empathic to. Most people go into any store having no clue what they want. It’s not the best plan of action and they really should think about it and research it online first to make their shopping go faster (or heck, just order it online lol) but they don’t so I can understand someone doing something like testing out every single guitar they can.
Personally when I got a guitar at 16, I just got one lol. I was like “is it electric? Does it work? Ok cool.”
but fender is the best
Worse than which one?
Amaracea what I did when I got into guitar a few months ago I was just looking at prices after learning smoke on the water on my friends 3/4 guitar, my friends dad blessed me with a deal I had no idea was amazing he sold me a fender strat from the 90's and a little squire sidekick amp for only 120$ and to this day I thank that the offer came my way.
That's me, though.
I work at a music store. This wraps up one day in a short video! I laughed too hard! Thanks for posting
2:00 when you first get your whammy bar
2:00 stop calling out my boy Mac Demarco like that
Hahaha ! He's really cool though ! Love him.
LMFAOOO
lmao
Joe Lewis OMG YES
He just trashed a whole Genre like that hahahaha
2:00 do you mean Mac DeMarco
yung zippo YALL
That’s funny
Lmao
What about the beginner guitarist too afraid to step into a guitar store because we’re afraid to be judged and looked up and down by the store clerks....😢
Honestly, unless you're bothering people, no one cares cause they're too busy caring for themselves
Thanks to COVID I’m only allowed in for 15 minutes😭😭
No stairway to heaven
Doesn't makes sense. They shouldn't allow anyone inside at all
@@TheMADC999 restrictions were diferent then
@@jonahpennington6668 did you just blame your ruined country on a random person in the internet?
@@TheMADC999 they should be able to do whatever they want
I’m the guy who can’t afford a guitar and forgot why he’s even there in the first place
Does anyone here go into a guitar store, play the guitars, then just leave?
Sometimes I buy a pick or a new set of strings, but most of the time I walk out.
I wonder if the employees hate that sort of stuff.
Oh yeah, I'm the bluesman! I usually mess around using basically the pentoanic minor and that's basically it.
Gamer Guitarist lmao trying all the guitars and amps before you leave😂
My friend owns a music store and they dont hate guys testing guitars. But they do hate guys who come in,play the guitar and then buy it online or somewhere else😵
Wait!!! Those are for sale?? I thought they were kind of like free samples.
LEHENDARYMES ...that’s what I did. I bought an Ibanez AF75 online but I really wanted to try one so I went into a guitar shop and tried it.
Haha no. I wanted to in the past but was always too shy. Really ticked me off too when I heard someone playing a song I knew on one instrument, and I was like I could totally accompany them and start a mini-concert lol but nope, shy
Man. I'm discovering your channel and it's AWESOME.
whats the song on 1:00
that battery tone is just a chef kiss
2:02: He’s not weird! He’s just being himself 😂!!
I'm the "way too much volume" person.
We all hate you
Yeah..especially at home
By the logic of his pinned post I’m definitely the “way too much volume” person - even though I never tested out a guitar or any other instrument in a guitar store. But by his logic I have to be, because both times (yes, both 😂) I’ve gone into a guitar store I was the only one there
I can relate. It's just so awkward when you're not used to playing so loudly.
I'm not sure whether your the daggiest cool dude I've ever seen or the coolest daggy dude I've ever seen !!
Either way ... love your vids!
I m the one fascinated by the beauty and the tune of every guitar, able to stare at them for hours, wanting to try them all out, but to shy to actually try more thab two or three.
The weird tremolo guy had me dead for some reason 😂😂
The smile at the end had me dead
It's the expressions XD
Doesn’t Jared Dines post this same video every week?
Very true
He actually posted his video before Music is win
@MusicFan 15 he isn't an uncreative hack
MusicFan 15 don’t disrespect daddy dines
Yeah but they arent funny
That last one you did was really hilarious I think that’s super cool😎😁👍🏼
Called me out right away!! 😂😂 DROP D GANG
What about the super awesome sweep picking master?
As the guy who was “the super awesome sweep picking master” for a few years until I finally realized my intense fits of pain that made me wish I could just die were coming from my guitar and realized I can never play a guitar again because screw that.... He goes in quietly, gets the guitar, ignores someone’s request to show he can play a couple chords, leaves, and goes home and practices.
Stratocaster if his shit is actually permanently debilitating like arthritis or tendinitis than you are a first class asshole even if the whining is annoying.
The guy who directly grabs the most expensive guitar even though he does it no justice. 🤣
PMSL at the "Immediately drop D tune" mu cousin works in a guitar store and he said those guys immediately qualify for zero discount
Hilarious. And so true. Thanks for making this it's great!
Pro tip: you should try alternate tunings if you're seriously thinking about buying a guitar to see if you like the tuners & how the guitar reacts. And yes I'm the constantly tuning guy lol
what if you don't wanna play in other tunings?
@@thejusticeization you still want to make sure the tuners aren't garbage
whenever I'm at a guitar store I'll just play regular simple licks and bends, and the guitars are ALWAYS going out of tune. Idk if it's because the guitars have been sitting around for long with old strings and what not, but even $1000+ guitars won't hold their tune if i do a simple whole step bend.
@@dansands6363 Probably the opposite, the strings are new and haven't been properly "broken in". That tends to happen when you get a new set of strings.
I dunno what's worse immediately tuning to Drop D or playing Drop D Metal with a crunch tone.
CheddarTheShreddar AKA Curtis Johnstone I do.
heyyyy I love drop D
What song is that please tell me
There’s nothing wrong with immediately tuning to drop d, I learned in that tuning and I’m still used to drop tuning. Yeah the tone was bad but it’s a guitar store there’s often bad practice amps that you can buy there I think that’s the joke idk
THE G,D,C guy is for sure me XD
nice video you just earned a new sub
I thought you were dropping a deuce during the end of that tremolo part. Funny stuff!
2:00 *mac demarco sweats nervously*
I love Lidgett! God, I'm so many of those stereotypes!
why is this actually incredibly relaxing?
Iv watched this video like 4 times but it’s worth watching over again
I feel like I’m a mix of two or three of those players like way too much volume and inappropriate tremolo guy... lol... love it Ty
I’m the “I’m a drummer why am I in a guitar store” dude
You are crazy fellow you crack me up man that’s funny, especially me in one👍🏼👍🏼🎸😀😎
Your video’s are the best 🤠
Bad at the blues guy over here!
Right there with ya pal
I'm definitely the " instant Drop D" guy. Or rather Drop C#
I'm dying 🤣😭
The weird tremolo guy is us church/r&b guitarist that feel the chords too much🤣 1:58
whats the song on 1:00
The smile gets me every time 😂😂
I'm the metalhead. Battery or blackened every time. Put that guitar through the wringer
Same. Dyers eve too. And solos ofc, because i play lead
The guy who gets too cocky on the Floyd, breaks strings and casually puts the guitar back on the shelf.
I just got that orange and black telecaster the other day. Awesome!
enjoying the Guitar Super System!
thanks, but I really am

I'm definitely the G D C guy well you can't blame me it's sounds so good and it's easy to play

1:58 is just straight up mac demarco
This is entirely too accurate!
1:00 i loved that you played the Battery
The weird tremolo bar guy gets me all the time 😂
I remember the first time I went into a guitar center it felt like magic I saw a HUGE Marshall amp I was like :O
I'm the metalhead :>
and I'm also that one girl that plays basslines on guitar because she's way too broke for a bass
Lol I do that with my ibanez gio untill I get the epiphone embassy I want
I think it is a Metallica song
y won’t the bass strings fit on myyy guitar?!???!? O_o
Not even 6 seconds into the video and I feel EXTREMELY attacked.
