  Hello all you guitar pickers out there,
  You know, it's been  almost 33 years since I started teaching guitar in my home in Albuquerque and I still can't believe how many guitar players there are both here and in the world.  Playing my guitars is still one of my big joys in life and I know it is for you too.
  We are proud to be carrying what is most likely the largest selection of high quality, low to medium priced guitars in Albuquerque.  The recession has changed our focus a bit.  We've dropped Martin, Taylor, & Guild as most of our customers are now looking for the best bang for the buck and don't want to spend the down payment of a small house to get it.  So we're now concentrating on guitars, amps, mandolins, banjos and ukes that are under $500.00.  We've now carry guitars that we sell for as low as $59.99 (for small sized guitars) and $79.00 (for full size guitars) that play & sound great.  What makes these instruments so good is that we do up to $60.00 worth of free adjustments on every one of  them before we sell them.  When instruments come to stores from the factory they typically require these adjustments to play optimally (easily).  This must be done after the instrument arrives at the store because fine adjustments can change during shipping.  This is one of many reasons to not buy a guitar from an internet dealer.  You also won't get this kind of service from a big box store (they just don't have the time it takes to provide this service).
  A quick word about lessons.  I had a student last week that brought in a book of Beatles songs.  It had the basic chords correct, but was missing some of the best parts of the songs ie. the cool licks, intro's and bass parts.  I brought the CD to his next lesson, figured out the other parts by ear, and made a much more complete and fun arrangement for him.  We (myself and the other teachers here) pride ourselves on having the ability to very closely customize our lessons to each persons specific interests.
Thanks for reading this and until next time-keep on pickin'
