Worst guitar sound

[Fretcruiser]

In all fairness, there is no "worse guitar sound" at GC. The kids are there having a great time trying out new gear................even if some of them bring their posse to support them. We were all young once.........indulge them. Ah.....................to be be young and care free again..............

Then you have the next level - "got some chops down; let me see who I can impress".....................easily spotted. They play a lick or two and look around to see if anyone noticed it.

All this ends immediately when a real player comes in to try out a guitar or amp at volume......................killer lick after klller lick................jaws dropping all through the store..............and you can hear a pin drop when he's done.

Well said!

people who go to guitar center to play on expensive gear with clearly no intentention of buying anything.

It kills me to see someone bang around a $3000 les paul for no reason like it's a playtoy put there for their cheap enjoyment

I tried to find a clip of a guitar falling over and breaking, which to me must be the worst guitar sound.

All I found were knuckleheads intentionally breaking guitars, which is also a bad sound, but not what I was going for.

Bad rhythm. I'll take anything else on the list over playing with someone who can't lock into a groove.

On the list, it's a tie between out of tune and missed bends. . . But off the list, I'd have to say one of the most annoying guitar sounds is people playing songs out of rhythm.

Either that or a combination of out-of-rhythm/out-of-tune. Especially when they are playing 'Sweet Child 'O Mine', 'Stairway to Heaven' or, heaven forbid, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. . .
