Speaking of IALW live performances, a funny thing happened to me the other day while I was in a Guitar Center looking at electric guitars. I've been playing acoustics for about 3 years now and have had the itch to get an electric but rarely have the guts to crank one up in a store, even if I was any good I hate guitar store wankers.
Well, I see a Epiphone Les Paul sitting there with a cord and a nice amp handy and turned on. I turn the thing down to level that I can hear it hopping not too many others can and start playing it. I only know a couple of electric licks, one of them beeing IALW, so I start playing the main riff and all the sudden the song starts playing over the in-store stereo.
Either this was totally random and coincidental, or an employee noticed my playing and thought a) this guy sucks, I'll show him how it's supposed to sound or b) hmm, maybe I can sell a guitar today. Anyway, I cranked it up just a touch and played along then quitely left the store afterwards before I heard the farmiliar "may I help you?". It was fun, but I'm still torn between a LP ,Tele or a Strat.
