My mission to all of you

[dwarf]

Next time you go into your local music store I dare you to play these songs.

1.Stairway to Heaven (but with a shitload of distortion)
2. House of the rising sun (with singing)
3.Tears in Heaven (act really emotional)
4. Smells like teen spirit (with NO VOCALS OR SOLO)

If you play these and don’t get kicked out I will applaud you, I’m going to be trying it tomorrow, as I really don’t like our music store anyway.

Have fun

 

[dwarf]

Oh also walk in like your shit doesn't stink and act really proffesional

 

[mx_mx]

No "stairway"?? Denied!
Where is it? I am so there.

 

[dwarf]

Do it in allans they must get that shit atleast 10 times a day. I once had a kid come up to me and take the guitar right next to me, stare me right in the face and play stairway.

I tried not to laugh.

Allthough it was fair funny

 

[mx_mx]

Yeah Im pissed at Allens at the moment. They sold me queer strap locks. I want my money back

 

[dwarf]

I was pissed at them ages ago now I shop at derringers, allthough they can't do a setup for shit.

Do u know any good luthers around adelaide

Ps. Will you be doing the mission?

 

[mx_mx]

Nah I don't even know how to play those songs.

Just get your setups at Allens but buy your stuff from Derringers. Or better yet, JRs or Billy Hyde's or whatever they're called.

 

[dwarf]

yeah I went in there when I got my cab, seemed very nice.

I believe I will be cranking stairway on a greg bennet through a "mega" amp, then just walk away, and say "nah" as I'm leaving the store

 

[gbondo9]

Play them all badly ...and then blame the strap locks for the bad tone......

 

[dwarf]

Ahh, didn't think of that one, I shall

I knew that was coming as saw as I saw your name on the reply box in the index. If we get only 5 people to do it it's going to be funny.


Anymore we should add to the list?

can't bele\ieve I forgot that one

No "Enter Sandman"?

Cat scratch fever, or any power chords riffs.

Whatever you play, make sure that it's full of painful and tentative 1/4 tone bends, just to give it that out of tune feel. Go off on a pentatonic blues exploration and be sure to make all of the authentic pained blues soloist faces, much like those that the fellow in the pictures recently posted in another thread. I'd say to count on at least a minimum of a 20-minute pentatonic blues solo full of unrelated licks just to show them how versatile your playing style is.

Hey, maybe even try to do some showman moves like twirling the brand new guitar around by the strap. Salespeople love when customers try dangerous things like that with new guitars. Just say that you're testing the strap buttons for dependability. Hey, if a guitar can't keep up with your playing style, then why would you buy it right?

If all else fails, go to the old standbys:
-Mary Had A Little Lamb
-Jingle Bells
-That one song on the piano that you play with your knuckles on the black keys...translate that to guitar and they'll be so impresed!

Be sure to pick very hard with a thin pick, and use enough pressure with your fretting hand to knock every fretted note about a 1/4 tone sharp.

you should play iron man way off and sing along, that would be so funny haha

Well, it may have been funny if you weren't the one to suggest it. No, it's actually not funny at all. Nice try though.

 

[random.hero]

great idea though
