What tips do you have for scoring a free guitar in a guitar store?

I've found that if you give the guy a few thousand dollars, he lets you walk out with a guitar.

I think they usually give you one for free as well when you bring a gun.

Man speaking passionately: “This is a real piece of history, they’re lucky to even have it in the store. In fact, where’d you find this?” Guitar store employee: ”I have no idea.”

Im surprised nobody is commenting about how you walked in to Paul Reed Smith himself playing that harp guitar, and that old bass. Man what a moment to be a part of.

Step 1. Go into guitar store Step 2. Pick a guitar Step 3. Grab and *_RUN_*

Salesman: here’s a cheap affordable guitar Also salesman: here’s a fender custom shop

Does Paul Reed Smith always show up in the back room playing odd lutes when you're looking for a free guitar?

"Can i get this guitar for free?" "No?" "I have a gun."

The ol' two finger discount: 1) Extend middle and index fingers, like a peace sign 2) Poke salesman in the eyes 3) Choose a guitar 4) Say "Gimme this guitar at a discount or I'll poke you in the eyes again!"

This video told me I’ve had enough KZfaq for the night

Having Paul Reed Smith hanging around playing strange harp guitars and bass lutes was hilarious.

Years ago, I was at a music trade show in Toronto, Canada. My tryout of some new Nord keyboards was interrupted by a tornado of music from my left. Michelangelo Batio played a quad-neck Dean guitar to a prepared progressive metal backing track, ensuring he played every note that exists, blindingly fast. After the show, I continued my exploration of these red keyboards. Suddenly Batio silently walked up beside me and said, "I can play jazz, you know. I just don't tell anyone because I don't want to lose my metal cred, and jazz doesn't pay the bills." His manner was tense. He never blinked. His mind seemed ... elsewhere. He may have been wearing a wig. Before I could respond and as mysteriously as he appeared, he vanished into the crowd. I have kept this terrible secret these many years, and it has torn at my soul like an outdoor cat on new furniture. But no more. This burden I cannot carry any longer. I feel this is the best time and place to lay it down. I hereby alert the internet, on this day, at this time, in this KZfaq video comments section that MICHELANGELO BATIO CAN PLAY JAZZ. At last, I am free.

“sounds like the new tool album”

Just play Stairway to heaven, Sweet Child o mine, Sweet home Alabama, and lastly smoke on the water (ON THE G STRING ONLY) The employees will love you! And they will let you pick a free guitar and not ask you to leave at all!

This video taught me Paul Reed Smith doesn’t get sarcasm. “Well I don’t want a guitar that’s Illegal”.....Paul: “Well it wasn’t illegal back then” 😂😂😂

"I don't like blues, it's kind of old" *Literally plays jazz on a metal guitar*

Once I was in a local guitar store and I saw a beautiful tele hanging up in a wall. I grabbed it, I played and I loved it, but I had only half the money it costed, so i put it back and kept looking. 10 minutes later the guitar felt down. It got a little scrap and the owner was asking me for all the money the guitar costed. But it wasn’t my fault so I wasn’t going to pay him a cent. Luckily for me, the real owner suddenly appeared in the store and suggested me to pay half of the price of the guitar, the store would pay the other half and I would keep the guitar. And that’s how I got my favorite guitar at half price :)

I thought he was going to start playing stairway to heaven

My guitar shop needs to watch this to see what good service is all about. Loved the jazz too...

At first I wondered where he was going with it and then I absolutely lost it in the end

Having worked in music retail for 20 years you know what you rarely hear in a music store? Musicians.

The title should be.. how to go into a guitar store and be difficult

That "30 string guitar" is called a hammer dulcimer... I have one of them. and they're very beautiful instruments :D

Music Villa is our local shop! Congrats making it to Bozeman

i was gonna make a joke about the guy playing the harp guitar being Paul Reed Smith but then he looked up and its actually him

Me: Sees clickbait Also me: *clicks

I honestly can’t believe you visited my local guitar store this was a shock! Hope you enjoyed it at much as I did

A few years late, but I live in Bozeman and bought my first ever guitar at Music Villa! Great guys!

“I know nothing about guitars” Later on: “Yeah I do it to all of my guitars”

I’m literally going to buy my first guitar today after watching your videos! I’ve been learning from a friend that plays and I’m so excited!

That old man with the harp guitar made me smile😂😂

Instructions unclear: Why am I in prison now?

"We're getting into the basses, honestly I'm getting a little uncomfortable, let's go back"

That old man with the complicated looking guitar made me smile. He looked so happy playing. Crazy how a passion can last your entire life. Well, have a nice day.

I feel so stupid because I’m just realizing the person playing the harp guitar is PRS

Guys they patched it this glitch doesn’t work anymore

2:22 why did i think that old guy was gonna play smells like teen spirit

Watched you very carefully been to 3 guitar centers have two guitars and a bass thanks to you and will continue to shop lol 😁 thanks to you so kool

Dude. I lived in Bozeman. I remember the old MV store on Main Street and was there when Fred opened the new store in this video. It is, without a doubt, the best damn music store I’ve ever experienced. Great people and a great shop. I miss it.

"Blues is kind of like old music, I'm into reds"

2:25 the old man looked so passionate about guitars. Hope he becomes a successful luthier one day.

“I’m getting uncomfortable with bass let’s go back this way” that kinda hurt XD

I can't believe that I watched the whole video thinking there was really a way to get a free guitar. When my mom was diagnosed with alzheimers I took early retirement to care for her because she had me promise years ago that I would never put her in a nursing home ( be careful what you promise). Long story short, sold everything that I had for us to live, car,boat,motorcycle, motor home, and my guitars. Lost the house, mom passed and if it wasn't for my sister I'd be homeless. Now out of all that was sold or taken I miss not being able to play my guitar most , so here I am watching s**t like this hoping it was real. I'll get another one someday and if I have to sell it to help someone I'll do it again. Lol, guess I'll never learn.

This is Fake .... The Guitars are obviously paid actors.

No joke I played jazz on the most metal guitar they had over here in Nashville and they told to get out and take the guitar before they call the cops on me for "defiling this sanctum of aggression." That guitar was worth $700, most expensive one they had, and they let me leave with it! Thank you for the idea!

I tried that this morning. It worked perfectly. Thank you for the tip.

Tyler, this is HANDS-DOWN the funniest video of yours I have EVER SEEN! I LITERALLY laughed out loud!😄😂 Great stuff, man!

That's 7 minutes of my life.ill never get back.

I tried this at my local guitar store and im now banned for a year and still have no guitar thanks a lot

I used to live there. Nice store and the people that worked there were always nice and helpful. Loved how they did the prices on everything. Others should follow suit. Hated living in Montana though. Glad I moved.

i kinda want to try this out now. just gotta prepare some metal i can play on one of those martin builders edition. thanks for the tricks :)

I like to go when they're closed so nobody harasses me to "pay for something"

To clarify, he’s saying if you want a guitar for free, just take it.

Was that Paul Reed Smith, in the back room, Playing a harp guitar? 😂

I bought my first Uke at that shop when I was working in Yellowstone.

"We going in basses, im getting little uncomfortable here"

"We are getting into the basses, I am kind of feeling uncomfortable, lets head over here" Was my favorite part

Love your sense of humor!

I just saw that you went to one in all 50 states, and I thought there was no way you went to Montana because there's exactly one good music store in the entire state.. and you went to it. Was neat to see you visit my favorite place in the whole state lol

Him: "We're getting near the basses, and honestly I'm getting uncomfortable." Me, a bass player: "Same."

Instructions unclear: I got a free guitar store at a guitar

I tried this in my local guitar center and they asked me “will that be cash or charge”?

U crack me up in this one man. I love ur videos

3:47 Old man getting emotional: this is a real piece of history and they’re lucky to even have it. Wh- where did you guys even find it? Your typical guitar store employee: *i have no idea*

did you guys hear the dude playing the bass part of pumped up kicks? he knows how to get a free guitar...

I get similar results by playing the intro to "what I am" by Edie Brickell on a Gretsch 6120.

It’s cool to see Bob Taylor nerding out over a vintage Gibson.

Tried this one, not gonna lie that store owner's fist was one of the hardest fists i've ever felt on my face

I love how PRS casually playing some wacko guitar in a guitar store.

“How to annoy everyone in a guitar store” should be the title ✋😌

I’ve seen this video before and somehow I never realized it was my boy Paul playing that harp guitar

It’s called theft, that’s how you get a guitar for free

"Now this is a bass I'd be interseted in. What can you tell me about it?" "This one's big." Brilliant.

There are so many awesome things about this video!

I knew a twist was coming but still didn’t expect that fully. I knew for damn sure a busy shop will not throw a guy to you for a tour of every instrument in the shop with a smile the whole time, and unless you walk in with cash falling out of your pockets I don’t expect them to.

Imagine going to a guitar store and PRS is just there, hanging out, playing a harp guitar.

"This is made with liquid metal" "Sorry I only like real metal" *BRUH*

I used to shop there all the time when I lived in Bozeman. It's a good store.

Definetly have to try this out.

"The color of the wood affect the tone of the guitar" 🤣

The old man is Paul Reed Smith you guys.

Aaahhh, my home state. Always very helpful people! 😆

No way, that’s my home town music villa. That’s sick dude.

"You just played jazz on a metal guitar" Dillinger Escape Plan: *Panics in 9/15*

Epiphone ‘s aren’t “cheaper”, they’re more “affordable “.

Absolutely stellar choice for Hank Garland material...due to the turnbuckles...

i know i’m a year late but i’ve just found this channel. this is an extremely funny video

at 2:25 i'm like, "is that Paul Reed Smith?" then it was lol

"Im more kinda into reds" That al. Ost killed me.

The second the video started I felt mildly confused because I used to go that exact store in Bozeman. I got my metal muff pedal there!

This might be my favourite video of all time

The following are the words of a TRUE LEGEND "Liquid metal? I only like Real Metal"

Eddie Van Halen: did he just play that sh** on my “Signature Shark”? *gets a free guitar* Eddie: Oh, you son of a genius. Appreciation edit: Omg, thank you all sooo much for the likes. I wish you all a nice and spooky Halloween (not very spooky, of course).

I love that the old guy was playing "Twilight Zone" buy Golden Earring on the Doghouse. I was playing guitar earlier, and my wife wanted me to paly something, so I played Twilight Zone on my '62 Wurlitzer 335 clone.

Good to see you in this store...I live only 2 hours from there!

I found out that guns are a real big discount for any store

Try going to a random guitar store, pretending to know almost nothing about guitar and then surprise the employes with some crazy riffs. I wonder what reaction will they have. ^_^

Paul Reed Smith is always hanging out in the PRS section of every guitar store I've ever been to, it's like he never goes home.

I shop here all the time. The owner Paul is a great guy much like the other Paul. I love the staff. Montana loves you.
