On this episode of the #GuitarStoreTour I’m in the greatest city in the world, Boston, MA, which is also home to one of the greatest guitar stores in the world: Mr. Music. As a guitar instructor for the better part of my musical life, I’ve had every kind of student under the sun, for better, or for worse… Make sure to follow me on Twitter to see where the #GuitarStoreTour will stop next, and tune into my RUclips channel for new episodes every Wednesday. 50 States. 50 Guitar Stores. 50 Weeks.
@@hyrumhammon6647 damn i remember my first month playing electric after a month of acoustic. I was obsessed with the bohemian rhapsody solo.Practiced it day and night till i got it right....such memories...
ah yes the "non existent" student. Glad i was one of those guys. To be honest, if i had travel 30 minutes once or twice a week to go play guitar...i wouldn't be playing guitar. I much prefer the 3 feet I travelled across my room to pick up my guitar and the 3 feet back to type in ultimate guitar tabs.
I once had an “I just wanna solo” student that tried to learn Smoke on the Water. No trouble with the rhythm part of course, but when he discovered how tough that solo actually is he stormed out in a fit of rage and never came back. 😐
When i first started learning i always frustrated my teacher because i just wanted to learn rock songs and ignore scales, he tried to teach me scales so often and i stubbornly never tried. Then one day i came in and asked how do i play solos and you should have seen the cocky look on his face when he told me what any experienced musician knows well: "You need to know your scales to do that."
Me and the one teacher I had used to go back and forth all the time. He would finish teaching me something, then I would be playing and he'd say "good, now try this." Then start playing wonderwall. That's how I knew if I did it right. It annoyed the hell out of me and I think that's why he did it. I started getting back by playing Hum Hallelujah by Fall Out Boy at random times. Just in the middle of playing a completely different song and then swap to that out of the blue. Good times
@@trae7482 hopefully it directed him to where he wanted to go. Perhaps he made the best of it without asking why. After all, it’s less of a question and more of a lesson one must learn given the appropriate time.
Easy, guys! It was just a comment. You didn't have to Ooooooof and "Too harsh" my comment, unless you're one of the 2 guys I think should have a special place in hell :D
To be honest I'm not even a guitar student but I can see myself being a playing while you're talking type of student. Probably roll back the volume knob and noodle a bit. I know sometimes my dad will come in my room and we'll talk and I'll be lightly noodling with the volume at 0 while we're talking.
I was a mix between "plays while you're talking" and "unprepared" . . often both. Thanks for sticking with me Randall, absolute champ of a guitar teacher
Unfortunately, I'm the "shares to much student..." Nothing super personal or concerning or weird, but my guitar teacher knows all the woes of my life. She's very kind about it and constantly reminds me to stop stressing !
dude, hate to break it to you, but it takes years of study to learn your theory. there really aren't any quick guides. After 3 years and asking anyone musical I knew for resources I finally have a grasp. If you REALLY care about it, you'll put in the work. If you don't, just keep doing what you're doing, I guess.
I'm still learning but I went from the "i am very socialy awkward so I'll give you no eye contact" to the "i will treat you like my best friend and I am very extroverted" learner, the power of drum,s that's all I can say.
The "just shows off how fast he can shred but doesn't teach" teacher The "learns along with you" teacher The "memorize all the scales in every position before you can do anything else at all" teacher The "always cancels an hour before because something came up" teacher
Mr Music is my favorite store, I have been buying gear here and there from them since they opened! I wish you could have shown more of the store in the vid. Not a huge store but they manage to pack it full of cool stuff. I pretty much am self taught I got two guitars from a neighbor who moved away. I had no clue how to even tune them but I just kept making noise until it actually started to sound like music. Once I was decent enough at about 14yo, 2 years or so of teaching myself I actually got up the nerve to walk into a guitar shop. Mr Music was new at the time si I picked that first. Everyone in there was great and why I go back when I need a part or just want to browse. All the small shops in the area closed but Mr Music stood the test of time.
good stuff! I'll add one more to the list - the student who is only there because Mom, Dad, grandparents, etc want him/her to learn the guitar (maybe cuz it was a gift) - not there for himself.
I think I am the quiet student and the "seems unsecure student, but really isnt" guitar player student. I practice and all that, but I get embarrased if I get something wrong at my classes ://
ForgetfulChild I do. My hearing is also a bit badder than usual, and it makes it difficult to understand everything that someone says. That might have something to do with it.
Yeah. I had a student. Her dad wanted to know if he really needed to buy a guitar for her. She didn't have one at home. And the ones who ask me how I know they didn't practice. Lots of fun times too though. Patience and support. Some students blow your mind when they really apply themselves. Great video.
I was more the struggling type of student. I had a very good teacher, and he always went at my pace, seeing I struggled with chord progression on the basic first chords like C, D, and G; mainly C. He taught me the basics, then when I moved, I self taught myself by just listening and experimenting around.
Looks line a nice shop! I was the "I just wanna solo student" i wish my teacher from ten years ago know how grateful i am for his patience with that. I still keep all the notes and tabs from those lessons. He was the best guitarist i have ever seen in person by far, and I've seen a lot of concerts with famous bands.
Wohoo! Boston baby! Mr Music was, is, and will always be the first and last music store I visit in MA, but I also highly recommend The Music Emporium in Lexington.
here’s a few more student categories for you, for next time perhaps.. Asks too many questions student, or the “machine gun” questionnaire student, thinks you’re best friends student, wants to overly simplify everything student, The never quite understands student... there’s definitely room for you to make a sequel of “guitar student” video. Love this one!
Is there a "I want to do everything BUT solo guy" cuz I think that's me. My guitar teacher wants me to learn a Clapton solo I'm like ugh ... no. What are the chords?! I want to riff!
Smurph Ftw Dude, there's not a thing in the world wrong with that. There's even a verse about that guy in the Dire Straits amazing classic "Sultans of Swing :" "Check out Guitar George, He knows all the chords," But it's strictly rhythm, He doesn't wanna make it cry or sing..." Guitar playing is whatever YOU want it to be. As long as *YOU* are enjoying it, as long as *YOU* are liking what you're playing, then you're golden. Don't ever let anybody tell you your playing needs to be this way or that way. Unless you're in a band, and you all have agreed on a certain style or whatever. But even in that situation, you should stay true to how you think your playing should sound and what you should be playing. Maybe that got a little too preachy there, lol, but I hope you got my point at least, and I didn't come off as sententious.
I was a mixture of the unprepared student, the just want to solo student, the sick student and the can I borrow that student. Thank you music is win for making me reflect on my poor life decisions
There's also the rare student that is super interested, and just has the natural gift for it. I'm very lucky to have one of those right now for bass. The guy was playing fucking Yes before he even came to me and he didn't even know his scales, his ear is unbelievable. The dude picked up the whole major scale in like two weeks and is flying now. He basically already had the ability, I think he just needed someone to coach him.
I do NOT have the patience to teach. The first time the student plays while I'm trying to talk, I'd unplug everything and turn off the lights and leave. So much respect for all teachers out there 🙌🏻
I think I've been just about all of these. For ages I was the "unprepared student", I was always out of tune in the beginning, I was never the "plays while you're talking student", I was thankfully never the BO filled student, I have been the "shares too much" student once, I really hope I have never been the "slightly inappropriate" student, I've never been sick during a lesson. Right now I'm going through the "just wanna play solos" student. I do know my scales though and have already learned a few solos through the years.
*raises hand slowly, slightly embarrassed* I'm the one that plays while you're talking...but I'm still listening, I'm just like, doing stuff to keep my hands occupied, and I turn down the guitar so I can clearly hear everything you're saying... Like, the guy who taught me how to play guitar, he would sometimes fuss at me for playing while he was talking. And btw, it wasn't like, a professional guitar teacher that I paid to learn, or my parents paid for me to learn, it was the youth pastor at my church, he played guitar during service, and he taught me bass, after about 6 months he said that I had gotten good enough that he me gave the bass that I had been learning on, after he restrung and put some decals on it, my name, nickname, and a cross, and he told me that it was his first bass guitar, and I could tell that he took good care of it because it's still in great shape. Then after a while, he started teaching me acoustic guitar
"So this is a D minor..." most appropriate chord for that situation. Just wait until you get the student who tells you "Your eyes are beautiful. I'd like to gouge them out and put them in a jar so I can look at them all the time." (Actual line said to me, by a student (who was also my girlfriend))

When i first started learning i always frustrated my teacher because i just wanted to learn rock songs and ignore scales, he tried to teach me scales so often and i stubbornly never tried.
Then one day i came in and asked how do i play solos and you should have seen the cocky look on his face when he told me what any experienced musician knows well:
"You need to know your scales to do that."
I just love thinking in his head he added the word “bitch” to the end of that
You forgot the “this is way to difficult, I’ll just go with bass” student.
That shit hurt my feeling lmao
I thought bass was harder?
@@namier9212 sorry, its just that I’ve found many people that change to bass because it is supposedly easier.

After the "Shares Too Much" student, I expected Tyler to say, "Well anyway, here's Wonderwall"
Me and the one teacher I had used to go back and forth all the time. He would finish teaching me something, then I would be playing and he'd say "good, now try this." Then start playing wonderwall. That's how I knew if I did it right. It annoyed the hell out of me and I think that's why he did it. I started getting back by playing Hum Hallelujah by Fall Out Boy at random times. Just in the middle of playing a completely different song and then swap to that out of the blue. Good times
Wonderwall?? Na... that's when you introduce him to country music.
When I was 17, I bought a guitar to impress girls, looked up tabs for things like Tetris, and thought power chords would get me everywhere, Jesus.
I thought power chords were going to be everyting I'll ever need for way too long. Sorry for replying to an old comment.
Theoretically you could get everywhere with power cords it’s just not suggested
I thought smoke on The water would get me everywhere

There's also the rare student that is super interested, and just has the natural gift for it. I'm very lucky to have one of those right now for bass. The guy was playing fucking Yes before he even came to me and he didn't even know his scales, his ear is unbelievable. The dude picked up the whole major scale in like two weeks and is flying now. He basically already had the ability, I think he just needed someone to coach him.
The shares to much section was the perfect moment for an “any here’s wonderwall,” joke.
Now do every kind of guitar teacher.
What about the “normal and actually wants to learn” student.
Love it, this is hilarious.
My dad taught me, as well as learning music from band in school.
I was always the play while you’re talking student.
I do NOT have the patience to teach. The first time the student plays while I'm trying to talk, I'd unplug everything and turn off the lights and leave. So much respect for all teachers out there 🙌🏻
"So... this... is a D minor..." OMG I just physically busted out laughing.

I'm the guitar student who is focused and listening and practicing
I think I've been just about all of these. For ages I was the "unprepared student", I was always out of tune in the beginning, I was never the "plays while you're talking student", I was thankfully never the BO filled student, I have been the "shares too much" student once, I really hope I have never been the "slightly inappropriate" student, I've never been sick during a lesson. Right now I'm going through the "just wanna play solos" student. I do know my scales though and have already learned a few solos through the years.
I was the unprepared student kinda, I practiced but not often and to top it all off every week I’d come in with a new song I learned that week
*raises hand slowly, slightly embarrassed* I'm the one that plays while you're talking...but I'm still listening, I'm just like, doing stuff to keep my hands occupied, and I turn down the guitar so I can clearly hear everything you're saying...
Like, the guy who taught me how to play guitar, he would sometimes fuss at me for playing while he was talking. And btw, it wasn't like, a professional guitar teacher that I paid to learn, or my parents paid for me to learn, it was the youth pastor at my church, he played guitar during service, and he taught me bass, after about 6 months he said that I had gotten good enough that he me gave the bass that I had been learning on, after he restrung and put some decals on it, my name, nickname, and a cross, and he told me that it was his first bass guitar, and I could tell that he took good care of it because it's still in great shape. Then after a while, he started teaching me acoustic guitar
Yeah dude same. I play really quiet just because I have a weird need to be playing but I'm listening intently
@JBlake plays and @Todd: sounds like AD(H)D to me (not an offense, I'm serious :))
2:24 Good riddance😂😂
I found a fork in the road
"So this is a D minor..." most appropriate chord for that situation.
Just wait until you get the student who tells you "Your eyes are beautiful. I'd like to gouge them out and put them in a jar so I can look at them all the time." (Actual line said to me, by a student (who was also my girlfriend))
As a guitar tutor, this is 100% accurate.
My drums and guitar teacher gave me a max grip Jazz III. I will forever be grateful for that because it's the only pick I'll use now
