Ready, Set, Play...the Guitar with ChordBuddy

You may have seen ChordBuddy featured recently on ABC's Shark Tank. As soon as the ChordBuddy is properly attached to your acoustic or electrical guitar, you will be able to make music. Within a few weeks, you’ll begin removing some of the tabs and making the chords on your own. It is a fun gift for you or someone who has always wanted to learn the guitar.

Welcome to our newest instructor: Stevie Coyle

We are thrilled to have Stevie Coyle join us as a guitar instructor specializing in fingerstyle guitar. Stevie was part of the Waybacks for many years before embarking on a solo career. He is a very popular teacher and we are fortunate to have him at the store. Check out his bio here and let us know if you would like to sign up for some lessons.

New Ukes from Kala

We just got in some new ukuleles from Kala that are great to look at and even more fun to play. We have two Tenor Archtop Jazz Ukuleles in stock. These have a spruce top and mahogany back and sides, classic f-holes on the front, and a warm, mellow sound. Check out the details here. We also got three new ukadelic models from Kala that are groovy, baby! Remember - you can never have too many ukuleles!
