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 KZfaq channel for new episodes every Wednesday. 50 States. 50 Guitar Stores. 50 Weeks.

im the SIT DOWN WITH A GUITAR AND IMMEDIATELY FORGET HOW TO PLAY guy

You forgot the guy that has his volume way low b/c he thinks he sucks.

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”

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was his house and all his guitars

Im the guy who plays metal basslines on an acoustic guitar

I'm more of a "Looks at all the guitars but doesn't ever ask cuz social anxiety and no money" kinda guy

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.

I thought the “weird tremolo guy” was a joke until i started working at a guitar store and witnessed it for myself

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

Plot twist this isnt actually a store, he just slapped price tags on the guitars in his guitar room

1:42 that guitar. I like it. A lot.

i dont even have a guitar. i have a bass. why am i watching 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.

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

I’m they guy who is actually a girl and everyone just automatically assumes I suck

I'm the guy who will play anything AC/DC.

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.

I’m the “forgets how to play then when I remember all I remember is g d c” guy

He basically roasted every single lo-fi artist to exist

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!

What about the "leave me alone guy" who just wants to shop without being bothered constantly by employees.

I’m the “I wish I could play guitar guy”.

01:42 To be honest, that's one of the best "little wing" covers I've ever heard on KZfaq. I hope that you made (or about to make) a video of you playing it.

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.

2:00 just pissed off all of the indie dudes

That tremolo part sounded like a good start to a chill lo-fi hiphop track

1:42 okay but that one was actually really aesthetically pleasing ngl

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 😭 😢 😢

What about the litterally always plays Seven-Nation Army guy?

so we just gonna ignore that he is playing smoke on the water really quiet at 0:45

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.

0:25 That guitar was dangling like "The Sword Of Damocles". 0:58 I'm practically a G, D, C guy.

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

The worst thing is the one riff guy that tries out every fender guitar available

The metal guy looks like he's having the most fun.

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....😢

2:00 stop calling out my boy Mac Demarco like that

this video gets an instant like for the immediate drop D

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.

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)

2:00 do you mean Mac DeMarco

I’m the guy who can’t afford a guitar and forgot why he’s even there in the first place

I'm a simple guy, I just play Pantera the whole time.

2:00 when you first get your whammy bar

I'm the guy who walks in and plays the pumped up kicks opening line on each and every guitar

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.

PMSL at the "Immediately drop D tune" mu cousin works in a guitar store and he said those guys immediately qualify for zero discount

that battery tone is just a chef kiss

I’m offended by this!!! I’m ALL of these stereotypes in one!

Called me out right away!! 😂😂 DROP D GANG

I think this is your best video yet! Well done!

I'm the "way too much volume" person.

What about the super awesome sweep picking master?

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

Thanks to COVID I’m only allowed in for 15 minutes😭😭

The weird tremolo guy had me dead for some reason 😂😂

Doesn’t Jared Dines post this same video every week?

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

Man. I'm discovering your channel and it's AWESOME.

2:02: He’s not weird! He’s just being himself 😂!!

I dunno what's worse immediately tuning to Drop D or playing Drop D Metal with a crunch tone.

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

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

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

The guy who directly grabs the most expensive guitar even though he does it no justice. 🤣

I work at a music store. This wraps up one day in a short video! I laughed too hard! Thanks for posting

I'm dying 🤣😭 The weird tremolo guy is us church/r&b guitarist that feel the chords too much🤣 1:58

2:00 *mac demarco sweats nervously*

1:27 is my favorite part

That last one you did was really hilarious I think that’s super cool😎😁👍🏼

1:00 i loved that you played the Battery

Bad at the blues guy over here!

I'm the metalhead. Battery or blackened every time. Put that guitar through the wringer

why is this actually incredibly relaxing?

Iv watched this video like 4 times but it’s worth watching over again

enjoying the Guitar Super System!

I love Lidgett! God, I'm so many of those stereotypes!

Hilarious. And so true. Thanks for making this it's great!

I just got that orange and black telecaster the other day. Awesome!

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 definitely the " instant Drop D" guy. Or rather Drop C#

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 decided to try on a tremolo bar on a gc with my guitar once It was my first time using one soo yeah... I will never forget that day

1:58 is just straight up mac demarco

I am weird tremolo bar girl and I am proud.

Quite some time ago, I was the hand him the expensive artist signature model. I've always played a mix of chords, riffs and runs on different settings of the guitar and amp. Way more important to get a feel for a guitar, and learn it's character than to rip out some crazy stuff, unless you're just there playing around, then rip away!

Your video’s are the best 🤠

0:37 Hitler's dream guitar the blue strat in the background

I’m the “I’m a drummer why am I in a guitar store” dude

1:00 Lashing out the action returning the reaction Weak are ripped and torn away Hypnotizing power crushing all that cower Battery is here to stay Smashing through the boundaries Lunacy has found me Cannot stop the Battery

Love the Al Di Meola reference at 1:23 Hahaha

I'm the G, D, C guy, except when my social anxiety keeps me from doing anything but nervously and quietly strumming the G chord a few times before nodding my head like I got a good idea of how the guitar is from that.

You are crazy fellow you crack me up man that’s funny, especially me in one👍🏼👍🏼🎸😀😎

Best thing to come out of Iowa. Ever.

0:17 My favorite is the rust colored one on the top corner of the back wall

This is entirely too accurate!

I love the Thinline Strat the Bluesman plays

THE G,D,C guy is for sure me XD nice video you just earned a new sub

Trem guy tune pretty chill tho
