You're in a music store, you've picked up a guitar to try it out, what song do you play first?

Tune it to FACGCE and play ‘Never Meant’ until someone has a quiet word.

subthread: what’s the first cowboy chords song that normally comes to mind

for me

also if I ever get a chance to play drums, I also anchor on the ride cymbal, so I guess my default music is ‘On Fire’

Mostly play my own bits and bobs to annoy the staff, but this is a good option for anything with six strings.

There’s a note for note cover on Youtube of the Fred Durst solo that genuinely makes me respect it way more

When I used to actually go to music stores and do this it was Little Wing, probably. Or Get Me.

As a Man of Drones I demand they hook up all the delay and reverb pedals in the store, play an A minor chord and then lie face down till the police arrive

Just noodle. Or Husker Du songs. Haven’t really learned any songs by other people since I was 25.

Probably more useful to play one’s own music anyway, assuming that’s what the guitar is gonna be for.
