Is there a hidden rule that one 1 person can play at a time in the acoustic guitar rooms at music stores? (lemmy.ca)

assuming acoustic guitar rooms are a thing everywhere. it's just a well sound isolated room in the guitar store.

I feel like I was chastised for playing while someone else was playing? I just want to make sure it's some rule like 'no stairway, to heaven ' or something that I broke.

some guy was strumming away testing guitars. I walked in and started playing quietly in the corner facing the wall, no pick. he approached me after a few guitars and asked me to play his choices of guitar and asked for my opinion on them 'since I was better'. I'm not even a month in yet.

did I break a rule or something and he was chastising me, or was this genuine type interaction that does happen? I don't pick up on social queues at all so.. yeah. I'm just not sure.

That sounds like a little passive aggression to me, but whatever.

I think most people use those sound rooms to get an idea of what each guitar (or amp) sounds like, and that's kinda hard to do with someone else making distracting noise.

I think it would be best to just ask if the other occupant minds before picking up a guitar. Communication is easy.
