+Ch0plol Every guitar store needs a Fukin NO SRV songs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It also needs a " No Smoke on the Water, Rock you like a hurricane, Sweet Child O' Mine, Iron Man and Nothing Else matters" Sign

No Seven Nation Army or Hate to Say I Told You So for bass players.

Ch0plol NO PLEASE I LOVE TO PLAY IT EVERTEIM I GO OVER THERE😭😂😂😂

or any Rush

Right, cause that was the standard until Fender added humbuckers hsh hss setups

She didn't sound surprised to me as much as speaking with reverence

Yeah as if almost every Strat doesn't come with three single coils and a tremolo arm

Because you work at a music store? *badum tsss*

Still a clever classic

I can imagine the clerk probably felt relieved that after so many times Wayne played it with it without buying it, Wayne finally did.

i swear to god i heard sussy, im so far gone

J Hyphy it's meant to be like that because in Guitar stores there's always someone who tries to play it and fails miserably playing the wrong strings,notes etc. lol

J Hyphy ‌

@Jon Goat Yup this is the real reason. They actually had to edit this after theatrical release to change the notes - originally it DID sound like stairway.

It was stairway to heaven in theatres but Zeppelin wouldn't licence it for home use so they had to dub over it.

@Jon Goat Which is ironic because they're currently involved in a lawsuit for having ripped off those same notes.

Because every single guitar has three pickups and a whammy bar?

MercuryClock Not all guitars have single coil pickups and a whammy bar, Les Pauls, SG's don't have either to name just a couple

I know, I was being sarcastic to illustrate how bad Thrashmetal6666's analogy was.

Although many guitars don't use single coil pickups and whammy bars, there's nothing jaw-dropping and shockingly unique about them either.

My Tele has a dual pickup and no whammy bar. Denied.

UGHHHH *ba-dum tsss*

Nice one😎

Good one

take my thumbs up

They'd play with Mark NOTfler

😂🤣😂🤣 I totally get you

Haha same

100% accurate xD

True

And I thought I'm the only person with that problem

Charlie Harper I assume it's supposed to trick people who don't know guitars.

Charlie Harper i wad thinking the same thing

she was just describing it, and being a pre-CBS strat it is rare lol.

Manjit Toor true

It's not so much that it's rare, it's that it's on disply and expensive

I like how the stoner guy took forever to spit out his compliment to Garth.

I love how Garth says it like English is his second language

😆😅

Epic

😂😂😂😎

There was a prop guy laying under him and he held up the guitar as he gave Wayne the cash.

Gave me anxiety 😂

And it comes out his pockets already fanned out 😂

I never noticed 🤣🤣🤣 that's great lmao

Stairwayway to heavan meant buying an electric guitar better than electric...rock ediquit. You would walk stair to either guitar store and some don't sell acoustic.

I heard it was more fro copyrighted issues and licenses?

Another reason this movie is beast mode

Thanks... I like to play👱

Michael Welsh It sounds like the audio is slightly dubbed or edited. It has a lot of echo.

I was on the set for the filming. The store clerk did have more lines than what they put in the movie. The script read: Wayne - "I'd like to take a look at this Fender Strat" Clerk - "again?" Wayne - "Yes" Clerk - "you come in here every Friday and play it" Cassandra (angrily) - "Look, he just wants to try it out!" Then the rest of the scene plays out as is.

@@cassellsmusic damn they should have left that in

@@moonscar119 not really funny, though.

Sounds like my kinda store

I once got away with playing Smoke On the Water at guitar center and nothing happened.

Hilarius

Was that a good guitar? Do you think it went up in value since the movie came out?

@@Harshcore811 its a great guitar but it is no Excalibur haha.

@@Harshcore811 any 60's strat in good condition by fender will be a great guitar, and will obviously go up in value over time. But an "excalibur" would be like finding a Les Paul that was owned and played by Les Paul himself.

Dude, imagine attaching a strap to it and wearing it over your shoulder while playing!!

Your clueless

That Wretched Rock And Roll I'd rather go anywhere OTHER than Guitar Center, actually...sucks ass most of the time. Kids too young to go to a bar go there constantly, then turn everything UP, get in the way of people BUYING, added to.the assh*le who refuses to move a keys amp (HEAVIER than a damn bass amp, even) because "it's already hooked up" to overpriced crap that can't reproduce a good piano sound. At all. True story. Guitar Center on Halsted by Diversey. Shpuld have just unplugged it myself and dragged it across the damned store...but no joke, they're INSANELY HEAVY. Plus, it was Roland, they make good stuff. It was Matt M.F. it's on the receipt, and I don't forget, lol.

I always wondered if that actually works.

🤪

The thing is, and I’m sure you know this, this strat isn’t really a traditional metal guitar. The one he played to summon the clerk is more of a metal guitar actually.

Yeh metal heads worship strat Not! Like in jazz school film Whiplash, the student is mad about Buddy Rich. Totally unlikely!

@@bryanleigh6497 not entirely true, there is quite a few metal bands that use strats namely Iron Maiden.

@@Buddhabilski Fair point. I don't really follow metal so I just assumed, which I shouldn't!

Well Hendrix and Yngwie use cream Strats so that added to their coolness

@@Buddhabilski fast eddie used one for Motorhead

Your kiddng? He looks in his 70's.

isn't Wayne looking at the camera too?

She was a HORRIBLE actress!

This movie breaks the 4th wall many times. This was one of them. Scripted; not amateur.

XD LOL

I like your style Ozzie. Though in Rock and Roll you can't go wrong either way.

OzzieAndy1983 Or elevator to hell ! Bill Paxton, alien 👽 !!

OzzieAndy1983 I always wondered that, why no stairway to heaven.. until I realized you could play the song backwards and well, It's pretty obvious that the highway to hell is more suitable.

I’ve gone into a music store once, got denied on stairway on guitar said ok I’d like to look at this Roland R-Drum kit you have here...and I played Stairway on it, they kicked me out afterwards....was told never to come back...even said they weren’t the only music shop around and that they could quite frankly go crank themselves up to 11 and ohh yeah shove their signature Les Paul they had in the stores up their ass and around the corner 50 miles south

This comment triggers me.

Natethesandman1 were you rushing or were you dragging

i love that movie lol

HOW DARE YOU

Why are you reading the replies? There's no mars bar down here.

ĺĺĺĺ d p.d d

It's ok the guitar was a stunt double

Nobody needs two kick drums. Really. It's like a Ferrari in a major city. You'll never see 1/8th of what it can do. Lol It's just to be badass. Or tune differently, which makes sense on a very big kit.

Agreed. They should have made it a Parker fly. Most comfortable guitar ever. Also kills a strat, even a modified one, in sound.

winnetouch pre-CBS Strat = from _Leo Fender_ himself and not from _Columbia Broadcasting System_ = +/- 30.000 Dollar. *But:* The shop-scene shows a _1992 MIJ SQUIER._

+winnetouch Well... this was the early 90s where most guitars Wayne would have had access to were probably superstrats with humbuckers. Although I remember reading something in Kurt Cobain's diaries when he said he picked up a pre-CBS Jaguar around this time for fifty dollars or something because the guys selling it thought it was useless unless it had a floyd rose and flat fretboard...

Quantumorph stupid question, why a Squire? You can't even look them up by serial # online, and I'm assuming it's because they have no assumed real value.

quote: _I just discovered this forum the other day and figured I should join in and lend some clarity to the discussion. I own the music store where Wayne's World was filmed (Cassell's Music in San Fernando, CA). In August 1991, Paramount Pictures rented us out as the filming location for the 'No Stairway' scene. I was in the store during the whole day of filming (just off camera - rats!). 'Tele like it is' has most of the story correct except for one thing. His boss, Haik Babian, was a colleague of mine and also did many guitar repairs for my customers. When he found out Paramount was going to film the scene at my store, we chatted about it. I remember exactly what he told me about the strat he was commissioned to create. He said he took a white Squier body and mated it to a '62 MIJ reissue neck and did just a few things to age it. As I recall, he said it didn't even necessarily play (sound through an amp) as it was only needed for a prop and any sounds needed would be dubbed in afterwards. He didn't say anything about a second guitar being made but I wouldn't doubt it because that is how Hollywood works. I do know for an absolute fact that only one guitar was brought to my store and used for the filming. Where that guitar is today, who knows?_ _I also provided the black guitar Wayne first plays to get the salesman's attention; the "May I help You" riff. I still have it today. It is a Schecter Strategy. The film crew didn't bring a guitar with them and asked me if they could rent the plainest looking guitar for the scene. Being all-black and rather plain, it was exactly what they were looking for. I was paid $60.00 for the rental._ _I still have the plexiglass display case that housed the strat. And, I have a "No Stairway to Heaven" sign. Not the sign in the movie, but a second sign that Paramount made._ _In addition, I contributed to a script re-write. While Mike and Tia were rehearsing the scene, her line she kept repeating was "...triple humbucker pickups..." After saying that five or six times, I pulled one of the assistant directors aside and told him they were not humbuckers but single coil pickups and that if they left her line in, there would be a lot of credibility lost as her being a musician in the movie. After consulting with Penelope Spheeris, the main director, Tia changed her line to 'single coil pickups'. She kept messing it up as she had 'humbucker' engraved in her brain. There were 32 filming 'takes' to get that line right!!"_ *edmusic, May 13, 2014* on *strat-talk.com*

Because they're like teenagers. So, everything is impressive and you just want to impress someone with whatever you gleaned from the latest guitar magazine.

Lol

I own the store it was filmed at. There were more lines to the scene but they ended up on the cutting room floor. After Wayne said he'd like to see the Fender, the clerk said "'again?" and Wayne said "Yes". Then the clerk said "You come in here every Friday to play this". Then Tia snaps at him and says "Look, he just wants to try the guitar". So that's why the clerk says "again".

@@edcassells that's awesome. Do you happen to know what that black guitar is that Wayne uses for the "may I help you" riff? It reminds me of a Tanara I had.

@@SaintKines That black guitar is a Schecter Strategy made in 1989. When the production crew showed up to film, the prop master asked my what the plainest looking guitar I had was. I showed him this Schecter and he gave me $75.00 to use it in the movie.

Same here, affinity strat with Kinman HX pickups, locking fender tuners and decent pots. Played like butter.ATB pal. 👍👍

Haha! Too nerdy
