I don't work at a GC but once when I was there to get rid of a bass that my GF had gotten when she was in high school but never played. If any of you want to give me a shot, pm me your email and I'll be happy to help you get the right gear for the best price. However, I truly believe everyone deserves excellent service. I'm certainly not trying to advertise or drum up business for myself.

However, if you want to avoid the overplayed riffs, then you can skip the following: stairway to heaven, enter sandman, sweet child o' mine, master of puppets, blackbird, Layla, tears in heaven, seven nation army, smoke on the water, and crazy train.Īlso, unless you are able to be the only person in a room with a closed door, try to avoid singing.ĭon't hog one piece of gear or area of the store for too long, unless you're seriously testing out gear for purchase. That's because you should play whatever you want. Notice I didn't mention what not to play. Don't spit tobacco or seeds in the store (you'd think this wouldn't need to be said, but you'd be wrong). Don't bring food or drinks near the gear. Don't put your feet on the amps on the floor or lower shelves.
Are you good at playing instruments quiz free#
Feel free to grab them and bring them to a different part of the acoustic room if you want to play. If there's one guy in the high end acoustic room testing out guitars, don't sit in there and bang away on guitars. Don't pull up right next to somebody else and plug into the amp next to them. Don't strum super hard/loud when someone else is trying to tune a guitar by ear. Let them know up front that you're just looking, but you will find them if you have questions.ĭon't be the guy who has to play louder than everybody else. Understand that the salespeople might want to focus on customers who are buying, but they will still be happy to help you. Not planning on buying anything? Not a problem. If you came to me specifically, I would be happy to check for you. If you find it lower, they will match the price. If not, use your smartphone to check the web for the best price out there. Want to make sure you get a good deal? Be respectful and ask if there are any sales or coupons. Like a guitar but want it in a different color? There is a good chance they have it, or can order it in a different color. We have to go around making sure those are plugged in properly and missing speaker cables are annoying.ĭon't be afraid to ask for whatever you need/want. Still, don't unplug a speaker cable from an amp just to use it to plug a guitar in. Interchanging speaker and instrument cables can be bad when plugging in a head to a cab. There is a difference and it can damage an amp if you use the wrong one. GC uses orange cables to differentiate speaker cables from instrument cables. They will be happy to pull it down for you.ĭon't grab an orange cable and use it as an instrument cable. If you can't reach it, don't climb the ladder. If you're not sure, they should be glad to answer your questions and pull guitars down for you to try.ĭon't be afraid to grab a guitar and plug it in and play. Feel free to add your own suggestions.ĭon't be afraid to ask for help. I figured I would just make a new post for everybody. I typed this up as a reply to a post, but the post was deleted before I could submit my reply.
