Professor Peedston Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 I was inspired by talking about Stairway to Heaven in another thread here, and I feel like I want to say this. I used to work in a music store (sold guitars and basses and accessories and such) and I eventually got incredibly sick of hearing people come in and try to impress me, my co-workers, other customers, or their girlfriend by playing the same damn songs as every other guy that came in the store. So the next time you're in a music store, be forewarned that if you play any parts of any of these songs, whoever is working there will hate you now and forever: - Stairway to Heaven or any other songs from Led Zeppelin IV - Crazy Train - any Metallica song - Sweet Home Alabama - any Radiohead song - Ironman - Sunday Bloody Sunday Just sayin' :P You can add helpful additions if you think I missed something. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valleyboy Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 hahah I'd play blur's song 2, i think, cos it's easy and since i'm not a good guitarist, i'd have to play something stupid like that. Or maybe Wonderwall.. if i only had a capo.. or the beatle's help. that would be nice. But then again, i'm not a good guitarist, so the chances of me walking into a music store to play guitars is.. well, 0,005%, i'd say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladylike Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 So Coldplay is ok then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinned Alive Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Hmmm, the only one of those I dare to play is Radiohead. But I hardly even do that, since I just tend to twiddle on the frets randomly or play my own songs to get a feel for the guitar rather than just strumming out other people's songs incessantly.

Guest DavidG Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 :lol: the guy i know, makes a big fuss when he goes into the shop, and then plays his repetoir which is basically what you mentioned above....and it is so embarressing, one time, he started singing when he was playing it, and people behind the desk started laughing at him, and he didnt even notice till I told him :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Nicoldplei] Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I'd just add Eagle Eye Cherry and other REM songs that are quite easy to play but anyway I find stupid to play your repertoir in a music shop... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
