Re: K'm Pee Du Wee is the New Stairway to Heaven!!


Aha, ditto on the Serrana Arpeggios, *if* my pinky will stretch to the 22nd on the A string... If not, then Altitudes

When i'm messing with the guitar volume, I usually play 'Tender Surrender', although one person called me a 'damned jazzer' when I was playing that. Moron.

Playing Eugenes Trick Bag seems to get everyone's atention

Re: K'm Pee Du Wee is the New Stairway to Heaven!!


When I went to buy the Behringer X V-Amp, I thought I'd test it for a while (even though I was gonna get it one way or another). I played some Vai licks and not even one of them took notice! Yet when I played some Metallica riffs. Some older guys were staring at me!

Young Malaysian guitarsits nowadays:

Vai-Who? (no offence to those who listen to Vai)
Metallica-Yes! Play this in a guitar store and you will be respected!

Ah, yes. 'Tis sad but true. But (old) Metallica rocks so that's not necessarily a bad thing as long as it's played RIGHT. I've heard so many people mess up Metallica riffs in guitar stores and I think that's why it gets kind of a stigma.

Re: K'm Pee Du Wee is the New Stairway to Heaven!!


I dont get it. You go to guitar stores to show off or to buy a guitar?

I play whatever I play when Im at home. Some improv that will probably include sweeps, taps and fast picking, but thats just because I need to know how the guitar fits me and sounds. I try at different volumes to see the response, etc ,etc , etc.

I dont see how being able to play Serrana Arpegios or something like that will change the attitude of the seller. They probable can tell who s buying and who is not by your face and attitude before you even grab the guitar.

Just my 2 cents

Re: K'm Pee Du Wee is the New Stairway to Heaven!!


I usually play some little pieces that I have picked up, mostly classical, or Midnight which is great for passers by, if there is a crowd nearby I crack out Scarified, Black Star or if I'm really feeling c0cky I go for Altitudes arps, and when it's a quiet shop I play blues improv or some of my own stuff.

That's usually my plan but I'll usually end up just doing whatever.

Just a question that I have to have answered...

Do use the slides for the long arps or do you just go down the regular shapes?

That also depends on how I'm feeling, I always try to get it as original as possible.

Re: K'm Pee Du Wee is the New Stairway to Heaven!!


I mess around with chords and scales when I pick up a guitar in a music store after tuning it because they always seem to be out of tune no matter how good the guitar is.

Re: K'm Pee Du Wee is the New Stairway to Heaven!!


i cant play stairway to h, - normal tactic is just to get from the top of the frat board to the bottom then back in as many ways as possible. normally im not warmed up so dont play anything too fast.- jazz chords with loads of tensions are allways a winner.

Re: K'm Pee Du Wee is the New Stairway to Heaven!!


I go to a guitar store to buy guitars, and I play there what I play at home, but it seems when you do, you notice everyone seems to be looking at you because everyone else seems to be playing master of puppets, enter sandman or something. There's not really much point showing off in a guitar store, because there's always someone better than you, and if you're unlucky it's the shop assistant!

As for the attitude of the seller, i've been told that the JEM10 in the window is a 'display model' only for the shop assistant to bring it over to me later when he heard my feeble attempts at for the love of god. He said he didn't let me try it earlier 'cuz he thought I was some young hooligan. All that because I had a Metallica shirt on! (anyone else had things like this happen, or do I just look unfriendly lol) People these days, huh?

Hijack over
