Hello and welcome to The Guitar Store. We have listings for most major manufacturers of quality used guitars, amplifiers and effects. These are auction listings that offer fantastic deals on quality music equipment. Many times you
can buy an instrument or amp with like-new quality at just a fraction of what a comparable new piece of equipment would cost.
There are also listings for effects pedals and other accessories. With the dollar value of new music equipment dropping substantially the moment that you purchase it (new), it just makes good sense to look for your next guitar or amp in a like-new, used condition in an auction.
If you are determined to purchase only new equipment, we highly recommend zZounds.com for all your music needs. They are extremely knowledgeable, have very fast shipping, and stock everything you could possibly want.
Learning to Play the Guitar
If you're just starting to play, or even a more advanced player looking to progress even further, we can recommend some very good options for video guitar lessons.
If you're looking for online video guitar lessons, the Infinite Guitar Website would be the first place to go. They offer quality online video guitar lessons at a totally ridiculously low monthly fee. Actually the lowest of any membership type site fee. The videos are of absolute perfect quality, and the instructors are not only seasoned players/performers, but more importantly they are excellent instructors.
The Infinite Guitar online video guitar lessons cover virtually every genre of guitar playing that you could possibly want. Whether it's rock, country, jazz, funk or classical (or anything else), the guys at the Infinite
Guitar Website will have lessons to suit your needs.
At last visit (1st. quarter 2009) they had almost 900 videos online, with more being added regularly.
The Best Home Study Course...Period
If you're the type of person that would rather purchase a complete hard-copy type of course, then Learn and Master Guitar is the winner hands-down. Without exception this course is the best for a complete, thorough guitar instructional course.
This course, from Legacy Learning Systems, was actually awarded an Excellence in Education Telly Award. The course (recently updated) offers 20 professionally produced DVDs, 5 Jam-Along CDs, and a 100+ page instructional book.
In addition to the fact that once this course is purchased you have everything at hand to reference anytime you feel the need, it's a one-time expense. Some of the membership sites are priced rather high. For what you would pay some of these sites for a few months of membership, you can own the Learn and Master Guitar course. Also, private lessons, although extremely productive, are usually very costly for just a 30 minute lesson.
The Learn and Master Guitar course will take a complete beginner or intermediate player up through the advanced levels of playing.
The course instructor is Steve Krenz, a professional guitarist for over 20 years, Steve is an awesome player. As importantly though, he is a fabulous teacher and a great communicator. He's everything you need and want in a guitar instructor.
We could write pages of accolades here, but we won't waste your time. Go have a look at the course for yourself. We've yet to have a single person that we recommended the Learn and Master Guitar course to ask for a refund. That seems to speak for itself.
The site has a video demonstration of the course material, a bio of Steve Krenz, and even a link to the Telly Award information that was awarded on July 1, 2008 in Nasville, Tennessee. There's also (for a limited time) links that will allow you to preview the Student Support Discussion Board and the Student Community Site. You always have help and support that's just a few clicks away. Steve Krenz, as well as thousands of other teachers and students regularly participate in the support area.
Lastly, any course or product is only as good as the people and guarantee behind it. The Learn and Master Guitar course has a 60 day money back guarantee. If you're not satisfied, just send the course back for a full refund. There's no hoops to jump through, no hassles...just your money back.
Head to the Learn and Master Guitar site now for a ton of information that will give you everything that you need to make an informed purchase.
