5 easy riffs to show off your skills in the guitar store


Ever go into a guitar shop and want to try out one of the guitars, but you’re afraid that anyone will hear you and judge your playing?

You might hear others pick up a guitar and rip on some cool riff, combining chords and scales – how do they do that? You think. Now you’re sweatin’ bullets with fear but man you REALLY want to try that Les Paul hanging on the wall.

Let me show you five ideas that you can use that will sound totally respectable in the store, but also you’ll learn a LOT from these five things…

  • if you have to "earn some respect" or "show off your skills" in a guitar store when trying out a guitar…. Dude. You have serious insecurity issues…
    Like who cares who well you play…Most, from what I hear, are shitty anyway…And I wish they wouldn't "show off". Same old , same old….
    Your just like all the other 200,000 mediocre guitar players who have walked in to a guitar store. Like your really being "judged" on how well you play….
    Your video its fuckin' stupid….

  • When I was a beginner I used to play the first couple of bars of Smoke On The Water to get their attention then I'd play the solo from Free Bird. 🙂

  • I was at a "musician swap meet" recently. Lots of product nobody playing anything. Talking to this vendor and his dad. They gave me an amplified guitar. I single string played Mary Had a Little Lamb POORLY on purpose. The place went quiet. Now anything I played after I had their attention was good. Better than starting out with an audience of critic of musicians! LOL

  • Two great songs that give sonic difference are Is this Love Whitesnake (especially if you add the solo using the neck pickup with heavy viibbrraatto) and Its Not Love Dokken (great flattened 5th riff).

  • I'll have to admit, my initial response is, "Huh?" I'll have to try it and see if I can follow later. It will be kind of cool if I can make sense of it.

  • I have years of dexterity and basic improvisational skills learned by trial and error practicing pentatonics and minor scale intervals all over the neck along with sliding chord shapes out of scale patterns IVE learned over decades of wood shedding yet never became organized with learning theory so it’s next to impossible for me to learn all the hard rock covers I love except to play them out by ear from what skills I have memorized… I need to become prolific at learning covers so I may be part of local band sit ins etc… help???

  • Awesome sauce. These are some tasty licks! I'll try them in different keys as well. Thank you for this, your lessons are the most understandable and easy to follow on YouTube!

  • Aside from the excellent tuition here, can I also mention – in a world where most things are swamped in 'electronic assistance' of one form or another – your guitar tone is lush!

  • Hey, for the first 10 years I really sucked. I used to take a guitar off of the wall, not an acoustic but an electric and play it without the amp or people wouldn’t hear me. I really didn’t care. I knew I was a beginner, but I don’t think people, have the right to judge your plane or make fun of you either they got a remember they were there one time too. Rather than making fun of somebody I like to sit down and show him something after all I’ve been playing since 1974 I am a solo instrumental, finger style guitarist and love it and very proud of it. It took me a long time to get there and first I really did suck. I don’t suck anymore. People look at me and wonder how in the hell do you do that and it really makes me feel good. You have a great day. I love my guitar. I don’t have to prove anything to anybody just sat down and play the hell out of it.????????❤️????????????????????
