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.

In the room within the room where everything is priced upwards of $3000, where there's usually like 1 bench and like 12 guitars... yeah.

The regular room? No.

this room ranges from 300-8000 and there's like 35-40 guitars. I didn't think I was doing anything wrong personally, wasn't loud. I'm probably didn't do anything wrong. going to ask the staff when I go back to purchase. got 3 in mind but need to save a bit more first.

No you're fine

Some shops have special rooms for demoing high end stuff.

If it's not a room kinda clearly for one person to sit and play, it's fine.
