I’ve been playing for 20 years and the feeling that I still get walking into a guitar shop is the same. Excited and knowing that I’ll play a couple of guitars I would never be able to afford, a little mischievous.

[@undoingruin4203]

I was at one yesterday and played a red Gibson Les Paul classic, had that same feeling lol

[@jeffleecust]

@@undoingruin4203 nice. I’m about to head to the Knoxville TN store, hope to spend some alone time with a Jim Root Jazzmaster and something Orange

[@heavybrett-al4082]

Yea same, 30 years of playing, in my mid 40's and every month at my guitar store I turn into a drooling 10 year old.

[@slayingwolf953]

I've been playing for 13 years and I still get hyped and super excited its like eye candy but with guitars

[@slayingwolf953]

@@undoingruin4203 I went to one day before yesterday and played a sunburst Gibson and I was blown away goin back tomorrow and play it again

[@bananam4x]

I’ve been depressed for so long. Your videos are recently the only thing that makes me wanna play. Thank you for your content and positivism.

[@PuttinOnTheRiffs]

Ola did the same for me through one of my major depressive periods. I suffer constantly and often. Currently in a good place. Awful to hear when people are down. Really hope the best for you.

[@johnwalter6410]

Ill make a suggestion. I suffered from depression for yrs as well. I tried every SSRI pill they make and all of them made it worse until I heard about a drug called Lamotragine. Its not an anti-depressent. Its actually an anti seizure med. But it has an "off label" use for depression. Its the only drug that has taken away my depression 95%. I have one or two bouts of depression a yr for maybe a day or two and thats it. Its dirt cheap. Under $10 for 30 of them and it has zero side affects.. Ask your Dr about it.. Those SSRI or ant psychotics are the worst thing you can take..

[@texas4life88]

Your not alone man. Just surround yourself with people that love you and has your best interest. And don't be quite about it. Hope all is well, and don't forget you matter ✌

Congrats on the Victory endorsement (Now wishing for that Bea/SMR Baritone collab)... As for the Haters? I doubt any of them have a deal with Victory. Rock on and Stay Metal.

[@jeffleecust]

Congrats on the Victory spotlight. Just first of many things I/we believe you deserve that are headed your way. To your continued success, you’ve earned it.

[@Wynorrific]

Still can't believe Ray is so close to me and grew up where I grew up. Plymouth Meeting is the one I always go to if I don't want to drive to Wilmington.

[@meh_sofia]

No way! I actually work at this store haha stop by again!

[@xanderraymondcharles]

When do you work?

@@xanderraymondcharles Thursday, Friday, Saturday. I missed you the last time you came in! The guys were talking about you I was so bummed lol

[@AlexHurtadoVox]

Happy for you! Congrats!!

[@fabricedufour5325]

Congrats on the victory amp deal!! Very cool.

[@joshuapaulsen7414]

Ray...sending much love from one of your long time Seattle lurkers. Your videos are always so inspiring and you're 99 percent of the time always smiling, and it gives us something to look forward to on a daily basis. I've been dorking around with guitars for about 20 years and your posts always make me feel proud to still be a 43 year old newbie. Any chance "mama metal" can give us a cameo in a future episode? Sounds like a great mom, I'm sure many subs would love to know more about. I rarely post comments, but had to throw down kudos, your channel and personality is truly unique and uplifting and I always appreciate you brother. Cheers my friend.

[@ledthrax]

I’m really digging the vlogs you’ve been doing, I hope you keep it up! The guitar center tour has been fun. It’s nice seeing the guitar centers in the area that I haven’t hit in a few years. Plymouth meeting was my old local GC and now it’s the Oxford valley one, but it isn’t as stocked as the others you have hit.

[@Starch1b2c3d4a]

Bro is tuning at full volume and playing pinch harmonics with every riff. In GC, this is the way. 🤣👍

[@Woodsman1994]

Congrats on the Victory gig man! Really enjoying the vlog-style stuff. It reminds me of the hunts that channels like “The House of Masks” go on but for Halloween stuff.

[@usmcyounggun6879]

I recently bought one of those Guitar Center exclusive Player Strats in black with the black pickguard. It’s a cheap way to get those David Gilmour strat vibes but not have to sell your soul to get it! It has the three single coils but I’m gonna put a Dimarzio fast track 2 in the bridge to make it better for heavier music. I just saw in your video that they had like three of them hanging up.

[@solarwinds5114]

This is my local Guitar Center too! It's a pretty good one. The one in Wilmington is even better

[@davestafford7301]

Stay Delco and keep it metal bro!, and congratulations on your Victory amps endorsement that's awesome

[@OdinAllFather77]

Man it is so cool. I really wish we could have a Guitar Center here in Mexico. Big fan!!!!! 🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻

Dude keep it up! You’re absolutely killing it with these videos lately! Pumping out videos like every day sheeeesh

Awesome! My hometown Guitar Center is in North Olmsted Ohio. Congrats on the amp deal Ray! 🤘🏼🎸

[@onionheadguy7094]

Grats dude! Ive never played a victory but I dig what ive heard in demos and i love their aesthetic

[@marathonxman]

Never knew you were from the PA area! I grew just outside the King of Prussia area so this was actually also my local Guitar Center/drum shop! Lot of memories in this place man. Thanks for the vid!

[@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020]

Dude let the haters hate you just keep doing your thing and forget them. They only wish they could have your lifestyle, traveling for music, visiting guitar stores etc. Rock on bro🤘

[@skebler]

I'm a recent subscriber and i gotta say, keep up the positive vibe you got going on, it always brightens my day to see you smile so wide :) makes me feel a lot better

[@rickycompton2610]

I dig what you are doing Ray don’t stop please it’s very enjoyable to go along with you on these journeys Haters are gonna Hate but you always have a positive view with all your video. And I thank you for that bro.

Love the vlog as always! Safe travels. Take care.

Love that Guitar Center! I worked at the Best Buy across the shopping center for 2 years so I was there a lot lol.

[@Andrew-xd3ed]

I am not the biggest metalhead out there, but I really enjoy your videos. From one Pennsylvanian to another, I hope you keep making great videos man!

Congratulations!! Awesome endorsement! The closest I ever get is the Nolly plugin! Love it!

Oh wow, they had much more stuff, the supply chain is feeling the crunch, I was just in there last week, had to order a strat pro II from another location. Keep it metal Brudda, retired Army here!

Absolutely love all your videos but these are especially cool. Just love watching you and your positivity no matter what you do! We need more of that in today's world.

Imagine thinking you have to tune a 100 guitars at whatever dirt pay they get

[@leemaiorano5875]

Congrads on your amp deal. Good job bro. You earned it! When I was young had to drive two hours into NYC to Mannys Music for all our stuff. Met Leslie West in there once.

I live 5 minutes from there! You caught it on a good day ahaha the last time I was in there to get strings, the walls were almost empty. I might have to run there and see that rgd & the offset telecaster.

The call to Metal Mom was da best ❤🥰

Do you remember guitar villa on 309 in quakertown? It’s since been torn down but I got my first Gibson from there years ago. There were also a few little shops that came and went from Qmart.

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Dude yes! Guitar villa. I got my first couple pedals from there. The q mart store was solid too

[@youngmike8645]

@@xanderraymondcharles you live by where my fiancé grew up in media. I’m in a bad spot right now with a vehicle my truck is in need of a lot of love but I have some equipment you may be interested in checking out. I live in Bensalem so I’m on the other side of Philly. I live literally next door to Parx. Do you have an email or something because I don’t want to put my personal info on a KZbin comment. I’d be willing to let you make a video with some of my gear plus I’d like to have a couple conversations with you if you have the time to spare. Been following you for a couple years now and I’m pleased to see your channel growing. Also thank you for your service and fuck Biden for shitting on our vets. Btw you bought the gold triple rec I had my eye on that dude in Jersey let it go for so cheap! I wanted it because the gold looks like caterpillar yellow like the heavy equipment I’m an operating engineer and I thought it would be sick but I have a triple rec so it’s all good. I love your basket weave Mesa head too brother! Let me know man if your interested. You look like my friends doppelgänger so much it’s hysterical. Peace brother!

[@HaydenMcCarry]

I love their fake marshall walls haha!

[@Riley880]

My local guitar center had a Friedman BE 100, and a Peavey Buda 2x12 100 its a hit and miss sometimes, but you can find some killer deals.

Hey Ray I usually don't comment on your videos dude but I just want you to know keep up the great work brother and I wish I had the balls to go video tape myself at my local guitar center way up here in Wisconsin

I got that baby blue case for my blue telecaster. Best decision ever

[@raindancekidd4413]

Ey bro, sounds like one of your wheel bearings is going out. Unless your on mud tires. lol just looking out! keep up with the great vids!

[@texas4life88]

Man you guitar centers are so much better than the Houston, Texas stores. We barely have any good pedal displays. But yeah appreciate the vids man keep doing what you do. PS. Should put some payments on the new Jerry Cantrell Gibson Wineo. Saw a demo of it and I think you would put it to some good use, plus it's signed by Jerry himself.

[@bygraceiamsaved5088]

We appreciate you

[@mikemiller6628]

[@ZacharyGalloway]

That Inverness Green 335 is amazing. Going to my Guitar Center today hopefully they have one too.

[@Riley880]

I worked storm damage up there a couple years ago, beautiful country up there.

[@davestafford7301]

Also if you're truly from the Quakertown area there was a guitar store right at the intersection of 663 and 309

[@jackhartsough3]

Been there many times its kinda a hike to get out there but worth it!!!

[@davestafford7301]

Dude you're in Delco, you're driving down Edgemont Avenue, you're about to get on the Route 1 bypass to hit the blue route, you're in Delco!! That is awesome a local boy, the next time you're up at the Plymouth Meeting Guitar Center ask them about when Limp Bizkit held auditions for when Wes Borland left also if you're from the Brookhaven Elwyn area take a ride up to Springfield which is 5 minutes away and check out a guitar store called George's Music

[@max_8888]

Bruh thats the guitar center i went to growing up too 😎

[@zanewalters5606]

Hey Ray, if you want to travel further to a PA GC, Lancaster's store is awesome but avoid the Harrisburg store (I'm from there). The Harrisburg store has pretty much nothing, they rarely stock anything new and just isn't worth the trip from anyone out of town. The Lancaster store is definitely worth trip, however. Rock on, my fellow Keystoner.

[@Memq]

Cant believe how heavy that epiphone es sounded

[@travisscott9893]

Yeah Quakertown is the sticks but I live 15 min south west of there and it's even more sticks then there.

[@daverando]

That green epi ES-335 is sick

[@emanuelrayvillaflores7759]

Keep playing Ray hope one day you get a signature Squier or Fender baritone

[@thorpenator9148]

My family lives about 30.miles from Union town. I heard they have a nice music store.

[@juddhughes2487]

Oh shit!! That’s the one I grew up going too! That’s crazy born and raised in norristown and lived in nockamixon for 12 years now 36 and in Richmond … small world

[@rodrossi9749]

From the Harrisburg area, well Gettysburg, the Harrisburg Guitar Center is just like that one you were just in. The Lancaster GC is closer to the Delaware one you go to. The Guitar Centers just over the border in Maryland are massive compared to any of these. Stay safe enjoy the trip...... You need to go to Chuck Levins, I realize it 3 + hours for you, but you will definitely leave with something new !

[@edwardsmith9801]

Hey Ray, screw the haters, love the channel, love the content.

[@n3zyd]

Making me home sick again, Harrisburg next? when you run out of Guitar Centers around you There used to be some good smaller chain/Mom and pops in Delco, Chester County, Bucks etc. fun fact: the 22 miles of the Blue route from MacDade Blvd to Plymouth Meeting took longer to build than the 1,900 miles of Interstate 95 from Miami FL to Maine

[@LicksoftheLegend]

I know a lot of Americans talk shit about Guitar Center but as a Canadian I'm jealous af you have those haha

The Guitar Nerds podcast, which is British, mentioned this location a few years ago. Seems random but one guy's gf/wife is from Philadelphia. He said it was a lonely scene. Ray did you ever get to shops in Reading or Allentown? Reading used to have a few. There was a good one a very short distance from the Berkshire Mall on State Hill road. But that was 25 years ago now. And Penn Ave is still there afaik.

[@GreyhandLion]

Dude I have a 90s Sheraton I use in my band for Drop A# shit and although I want to replace the stock electronics/pickups, it has the coolest, deepest sound I own. Extremely thick and full of body just perfect for chords, rhythm and warm lead. Would love to see what you would do with one!
