Fellow guitarstore employee here; Shredding to us has zero effect, not only do we see ONLY guitarplayers every day all day, most of us probably can shred your face off! The best customers are those that are excited about a sound or piece of music, those make the store a great place to be

Ages ago I was at Guitar Centre looking to buy a fuzz pedal and was trying out the standard favourites, big muff etc, and comparing that to the Swollen Pickle (which I eventually bought). The thing about the Swollen Pickle is you can dial in pretty much any fuzz tone you want - which I didn’t expect - and the guitar store clerk was kind enough to let me try these different tones out. I came across a tone that sounded so good had a few guitar store clerks walk up to listen and some saying it sounded amazing. To which I immediately would ask about what they thought about the different fuzz peddles and their recommendations. I always find I learn so much that way from these guitar store clerks because they love playing the guitar too.

"Most of us probably can shred your face off" that's the most threatening non-threat I've ever heard. I've been playing on and off for 10 years and I can't shred yet and I'm seriously considering taking up lessons again.

It's a dick move to make the employee the punchline of the joke because the thing you're good at is entirely unobservable before you do it. There is no skill in fooling someone into thinking you're bad at something. If you can do something well, you can also do it poorly. Tldr: it's a dick move

It’s a stupid thing to do to get stupid people to watch a stupid video so the stupid creator can get some views, which is approximately 100% of what TikTok is.
This is what a reaction video should look like. Commentary with creative transformation.
I love the little card pop-up of “Who is the 2nd Greatest Guitarist?” while Sammy G is talking about his son ;)
I enjoyed this video. Take care of yourself my dude. You're not alone
Imagine how funny it would have been if the employee just showed no interest.
I can't believe your son is already arranging John Cage piano solos!

These are literally the only TikTok related videos I watch. I can't stand TikTok and the humour/memes on it. It just makes me sad on a good day, and furious on a bad day. So only time I watch a anything from TikTok is when somebody likeminded pointing out how ridiculous it is.
I definitely need to try the glass of water stuff!
You playing with the baby was amazing
For anyone actually curious about running guitar signal through water: check out the Rainger Fx MiniBar. It has a built in signal diverter, and allows you to use different liquids to experiment with conductivity and capacitance. In this particular instance, the liquids cause more capacitance and overdrive the signal. This of course depends on what part of the circuitry is being affected by the diverted signal, but with that pedal, the distortion level is dictated by the conductivity of the liquid and how much light penetrates the medium. My terminology may not be 100%, but the note conductive the liquid, the cleaner the drive. Something like toothpaste gives you a massive gated fuzz, where water sounds like a tube screamer sorta.
The dread I felt watching the first one as they're using the exact same guitar I have.
This is peak review content, very well done
