At least you're better than them. I'm most certainly not and usually sneak off to a corner somewhere and try to not let anyone hear me. Haha.Luke98 said:I feel intimidated in guitar stores, even though I'm better than the average guy in there lol.
Yeah, that's the worst. I bought a Deluxe Reverb a couple of weeks ago and I decided to go with the minimalist approach. Cranked the amp up, hit some open chords, hit some power chords and picked out a few notes and let them ring out.Luke98 said:And that wouldnt work for me,, I was amp shopping lol.

Then it's easier to ignore people even though they can probably still hear me.I feel intimidated in guitar stores, even though I'm better than the average guy in there lol.
I understand that this bothers alot of people. But what bothers me is when people assume that there is no skill in playing faster metal type music.
