ive noticed guitar store employees tend to be wannabes. Not all im sure but most of the ones ive met seem to think working for a music store gives them some kind of credibility(? or something?).. you can feel the snobbery coming off some of these minimum wage folks. Not all of course id never stereotype an entire group. But im thinking theres a certain subset who go there for that very reason

Right. It’s NOT a contest, and there are no prizes for shrederrific flailing of the guitar. It’s not a concert, either. Most loud players only annoy others who are trying to make decisions. Honestly I usually only spend a few minutes to decide (assuming I can hear myself) then I take it home and if it really sucks return it within specified period, which takes all that pressure off you. Let’s face it, you’re “trying out” stuff, so you might not be comfortable with it yet or maybe ever... I have a 7 string that makes me feel like a noob because it’s very wide neck with fairly high action. I would hate to be judged by my ability on that particular guitar. I once flubbed a band tryout because my amp crapped out after the first song and I had to borrow an amp that I didn’t know how to dial in my tone on and I felt like it was fighting me. You shouldn’t be quick to judge because you don’t know if the persons having a bad day or they just suck! 😝

Owned a music store for nearly 20 years. I always appreciated it when women would come in to the shop. Having a daughter and two granddaughters it was a wonderful thing to see more and more women playing music. This may sound a bit chauvinist but particularly liked it when a women would come in pick a guitar, sit down, and just tear it up. Good on you Ms. Spender.

If I had been there, I would have had you teach me that rhythm riff at 3:20 so you could solo over it. Then we could trade off. You seem like a fun person.

Just discovered your channel Mary. Immediately subscribed. Love your enthusiasm and I share your appreciation for guitars of all types. Bought my first guitar at a guitar center in St. Louis. What I love about them (or at least the one I shopped most at) was I never once had someone try to sell me something more than they knew I needed. In fact they talked me into buying a used guitar and amp when I made my first purchase. I still have them. I now live in another city and shop at another Guitar Center and they too are always helpful and knowledgeable. Inventory always changes week to week. I've purchased some real steals. Great that you got to go to one in NY. Thank you for showing us around. They pretty much all have the same vibe but each one a but different. I cracked up at the typical songs you hear guitarists play. I always hear Stairway or Hendrix. what do you hear the most? Keep up the great work.

Drum City was a few doors away and I would clean them out of Ginger Baker drum sticks, once he walked in and asked for some, the assistant pointed at me and said he's just bought them all. I did give a pair back for Ginger and we went for a beer. Crazy days.

Mary, when you go to Rudy’s. You must absolutely ask to play the red Tal Farlow Gibson ES-140 3/4 size guitar. There was just an article in Sunday’s New York Times with a photo of Guy Pearce checking it out. It’s the coolest little guitar. Ah, piecing together the Vigier Mary Spender model.

The full story behind Rory's guitar is that it was stolen off him and at the time the story got onto a crimewatch tv show in Ireland. The guy who stole it was probably afraid that he'd be caught after that so he chucked it into a field and it was lying there for a few days/ got rained on etc. before it was found and a lot of the wear was a result of that. There's a video on his official KZfaq channel with his nephew telling the story.

I'm 71 and still love being in a guitar store. I feel at home and never get over the feeling of excitement and childlike wonder. The aroma of wood and fresh paint pervades the air and I am 16 again for the time there. I have 8 electric and 2 acoustics and love them all. Without music, and for me rock and roll, I might as well not be alive.

Mary's so adorable. I saw Rory play in Detroit back in the 1970s, and he was then and always has been severely underappreciated around here. It's great to see that she's such a big fan. Go Mary!

Mary I really like your experience in the guitar shop. And they have some awesome guitar shops in the states and that one you were in looked great too. And I think you deserve a sparkly guitar, why not treat yourself we only live once. And I think you played great in the shop with beautiful cords with feeling rather than just noise without meaning. I love your style of playing and your voice sounds amazing also. Thanks for the music cheers 🙏🎶👏

Rory’s guitar 🎸 initially got to be so worn when someone stole it after a gig after then, because it was national media news, left it somewhere out in the open - and it got well and truly rained on
