      "Its our fault".
      "Sure you'll get a refund".
      "OK, we broke it, we will fix it".
      "We couldn't repair it. Just take another one off the shelf, we will deal with the distributor."
      "This guitar/bass/amp/cab doesen't make sense for you, there are much better deals for beginners".
      "Wait a moment, I'll just go to the storage and get you the model in the color/with the pickup configuration/the neck you want".
      "Sure we will order it for you".

      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 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.
      As long as it's playable and has good tone, then you've got what you need.
      Your skills are bot going to exceed the capabilities of the guitar.
      If I time travelled back to the 1970s I'd tell you a different story. :)
      But CNC machines and standardized designs, have done a lot to improve the quality of beginner guitars.

    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.

    Not to get political or anything, but what's a tuner?

  • @ΜαριοςΑθανασοπουλος-γ4ω

    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!! 🤣🤣

    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

    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?"

    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

    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.

    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!
