Dude I felt super called out.

Lol that was totally me

@@kiyoo3132 not all introverts are shy :-) Oh to inform you: there are different types of people. Some are more extroverted and have just a little introverted side, which they don't show, some are introverted and extroverted which depends on the environment(like friends where you are going insane or for example a class with attractive people where you go into shy mode) and then there are introverted people which may are very little extroverted :-)

Introvert problems, I also am shy

For whatever reason the furtive way he looks around reminded me of the way some tigers do when they're about to investigate something or move one of their kills. You may look timid but I bet you're the most dangerous person there... :)

So a time waster then :)

@@kieferrea4819 i was just kidding. That's a humoristic video we all fit one or several of these categories.

That’s important marketing. The enthusiastic teenagers are the customers of tomorrow.

Similar situation to me :D I went for an amp, as I got an electric guitar a few weeks ago, and the store guy just went "Alright, lets hear it!" and I'm like "Uhm, I started a couple weeks ago and know a grand total of 3 half-riffs" :D

Everyone starts somewhere! Your stories are very relatable.

Ended up buying a Gibson Les Paul without trying it since I was still learning. Didnt want to be judged or talked into playing lol.

My first experience was GREAT.. I already had a guitar from a friend so I learned with that.. When I wanted to try other guitars, I went to good ole' Guitar Center.. It was so loud! The first song I learned was 'Teen Spirit'.. It was easy and didn't hurt to play.. I played it in Guitar Center, my first time ever in public and people grouped around me! I had my first concert! It felt awesome to turn around and see a bunch of people, including GIRLS!!!!!, watching me play... When I walked in, it was the most intimidating place I've EVER been... I walked out a rock god! lol

That was me. I was just looking for a western guitar, that fits me. I'm a small person and just wanted a guitar that don't hurt my upper arm while playing. The nice seller understand and reached me different ones. But I was so shy to try because I couldn't play a single chord.

I never have this problem, you can't forget what you don't know in the first place ;)

Hhaha me too😂

When I walk in, I become intimidated and will buy a guitar before plugging in. I'm 29 and have been playing since 94. I don't want to be that guy. I hate it.

Jelena Trisic same! I get so nervous playing around other people, that I just blank out.

Same haha i turn into the 1 riff guy 🤣🤣😂😂🤘🏼🎸

hahah this happened to me when i got my first guitar. the guy shredded on it and handed it to me... and i was hooked. I was way more than a shy beginner. I just wanted to learn from scratch, so having the possibilities laid on to me at that moment was eye opener

High five from a fellow drummer

Rocky Leasdale me too dude!

I appreciate you bro

I know I cringed so hard especially because my dad is a guitar player and he’s done that once with his Wolfgang. (Also hello fellow drummer)

Nothing to worry man he jus holds different guitars but you holds precious earned skills to play them

i have the same thing but with drums me at home: can play tom sawyer and hot for teacher me while shopping for drums: can't play yesterday

so true

Same but in front of anyone

Man I feel that. For the love of god, surfing with the alien etc, disappears and I only just remember how to play enter sandman or smoke on the water 😂

yeah it sucks because i wanna have my privacy

Joaquín Koller some people just don’t understand that 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's ok guys it"s better not to show off

Same. I’m decent in my room, but once someone watches me I get self conscious and my mind goes blank. 😩

I’m good in front of a crowd but when I’m practicing I get supe r self conscious

what delay does to a motherfucker xD

Hear me out: beginning of money for nothing - dire straits

Austin Lawson o

it’s all about not finding someone better than you in there man

same lol minus the shows

20 years of playing behind and still the shy guy

Yeah me too. Mainly cause I don't like playing/noodling loudly in public. It's tough to try out an amp with a guitar and have it be quiet. You don't want to "that guy" at guitar center who plays way too loud. I believe in not intruding on people's ears.

Mj F bro ikr!

Electronic ones too.

Ummmmm. I wasn’t here

lmao that is so true

Now hang on that describes me hard

Harrison Lane lolol

No better time to learn than now

Wish u luck

Don't quit. 1 riff will turn into 2 and so on. Just wait till you get to the Dimebag phase, it's awesome.

I think that’s 99% of us 😆

I just....I’ve never related to something so much

Yup

Lemme ask you something, has this happened to you? As either rhythm or lead guitarist have you ever been playing and feel your confidence getting higher for whatever reason (trust me it happens especially when try something new) some asshole two amps away gears up and cranks that bitch just enough to be slightly louder than you and begins to play faster and flashier as if to taunt you, AND IT WORKS. (Notice how I didn't use the word better)

Marinko The_Uncanny67th It happens quite often. Trumpet players like to pull that one, too. Why are people like this?

@@jamie6506 Idk man, but remember I used the word flash and not better, because (in my opinion at least) I'll take rhythm or even a simple solo over shredding any day (before anyone feels like pulling someone like Dimebag outta their ass and "call me out" His best solos are much simple in comparison to some modern guitarists that I've come across in these shops, don't ask me to name em because I didn't take the time to memorize something I didn't enjoy)

Same

More like Enter Alabama

Try Todd Taylor playing crazy train banjo

Rob Scallon approves

The ukulele one also lits

Felt the same way when I was in a GC playing Cannibal Corpse and Nevermore trying out some guitars, while some older dude was busting out Randy Rhoads style licks and riffs like it was no one’s business. I feel his playing was more welcome in the store.

@@coffinfeeder7732 I think that has a lot to do with it. I don't feel like I'm shy as in embarrassed, but rather I'm trying to be courteous. I am pretty heavily punk rock influenced and feel like unless it's what you're paying or expecting to see, it can be kind of intrusive. So I head to the acoustic room at GC while it's left unattended!

This

Yea it's weird isn't it..... I played over 30 years.... and can still feel sometimes "low confidence" in the guitar shop lol.... I guess its something we do mostly on our own.... hence being nervous around other skilled or even beginner players can be nerve wracking.... and fingers become jelly 😂....

I would never ever attempt to play in these stores. I'd rather just buy the instrument and go. 😂

Only he without riff can cast the fir.... wait... uhhhhh and I bet you're better than me. Cause I can't play lol

Same😂

That is 100% me haha

No, since this is my 582nd time watching this video I’ve gotten used to it

I used to have a stagg Les Paul copy and when I was practicing with it one day I put it on my guitar stand and it fell down splitting the neck in 2

I remember buying a Squire Bullet Strat to take apart and make a new guitar out of, and the guy who was helping me out was like "Do you want to play it to make sure you like it?" And I was like "Nah, it's good." (Plus, I've already bought one before.) After I bought it, he let me know I had free tune-ups for a year. Which, I guess was good to know, in case I screwed up building my own guitar.
