I just came across music store employee Avery Ellis‘ YouTube channel where he documents some of the patrons showcasing their ‘skills’ in the store. Watch below:
I guess everyone is supposed to play perfectly from day one? or are they only supposed to try the instruments if they play perfectly already? or maybe everyone that doesn’t play like eddie van halen should just stop buying instruments all together. But then I’m asking the wrong person. If the guy mocking these people had any talent he wouldn’t be working in a music store.
I was thinking the same thing. I think he’s making fun of people who show off at music stores, and people who try too hard to be cool. Not people who are particularly bad at their instrument.
Last Row is a weekly music podcast for the fans in the back, with no prior music bona fides required for entry. From up-and-coming artists and new songs to good music videos and bad live shows, we'll be talking about it all from our vantage point in, where else, the last row.
