A Rant in the Key of C

If You've ever walked into Steve's music store on a saturday afternoon, then you'll know quite well the repititious sound of snobby rich teens and 40-somethings hammering away at the Warwicks and ESP's for hours. Everyone within a 5 mile radius of the store that has to suffer from the constant wailing knows that these losers aren't interested in buying these guitars. They have but one sole purpose in life; to make themselves feel like they're worth something because they can play a scale five times faster than you can. Well guess what, you still suck! If you really want to know how well a particular guitar sounds, play a freaking chord! Fiddle with a song you know...Don't play me a bunch of random scales that make you sound better than you are, 'cause you're not fooling anyone! You'll leave the store and never see any of those people again in your life. You'll gain a temporary high that makes you falsely believe you have a real talent that'll take you places some day. Congratulations meatwad.
Now it may come across to some people that this rant is fueled by nothing but jealousy. You could not be more wrong. It annoys me because people who may be interested in buying/renting a guitar get shoved to the back of the line and have to wait for the overstaffed employees to finish with the kids playing 9 minute solos and the hippies talking about how music used to be good back in the day. Get your priorities straight employees! And go home pretentious wannabe guitar freaks! Go back into your dark little hole of a basement where you don't piss me off.
