things you play to show off

"Smoke on the Water"......just kidding

I was at a guitar shop once and asked to try out a guitar. The shop employee said,
"Sure, let me tune it up for you", and proceeded to play for about 10 minutes. When he finally handed the guitar over to me, I played what he had been playing, only about 30 times better, out of spite...

Awesome!

I would have said, "Oh, is this what you were trying to play?"

[horns666]

I riff I do in a song called "Father Felon", and a few more things that seem to get attention..

I could get "show off" much easier whenever I pick up a bass tho..

[jgcable]

I usually do Malmsteen pedal tones.

[horns666]

Oh, I also can tap the intro to meanstreet with my pud..

all my Jacksons have built in glory holes..

This is true..

[PallarAndersVisa]

random sweeps and speed licks. i dont have much of an arsenal when not playing along to a full band

[thetroy]

any fast meedley meedley MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE stuff

or whatever people actually know, usually Crazy Train

[Big D]

2nd half of Into the Fire (Lynch) solo. It's easy but it sounds cool as hell. If that doesn't work, I play a shitty version of the Star Wars theme...sometimes with my balls hanging out.

[Flametop]

I play the solo from Cinammon Girl.

:ROTF:

[nateb]

I ask them to name a band. Then play Slayerized version of Mary had a Little Lamb and beat them over the head with my ESP while I ridicule their taste in music. I figure if I am going to break a guitar, I better do it with something I care less about.

Actually, I just wank for a few seconds.

DropD "old rugged cross" and finish the outro with a 19th fret harmonic and dive on the floyd at the end.That really screws with the country crowd.

[VitaminG]

I'll gently strum a couple of cowboy chords. maybe play some jazzy sounding 9ths further up the neck. And then place the guitar on its stand, before pulling my trousers back up to the sound of rapturous applause from the assembled masses.

I hate people who just wank to show off.

I have this friend, and we were representing the guitar club for our school. (I know, sounds dumb) I was busy recruiting new members, while he did nothing but pinch harmonics and whammy bar shit. It sounded horrible, but the sheep loved it!

Im probablly alone on this, but play for yourself. That is the most rewarding.

I play the theme from The Princess Bride and then jam my fuckin' guitar headstock first through the speakers, beating the shit out of the amp with the guitar. That gets the chix!
