I moved here from Detroit in 1981 when I was 17 and I would walk a mile or two just to sit in the guitar room and play guitars and different amps and knew I got the best deal on the best gear. Here I am 45 YEARS LATER still stopping by to say hello and check out the gear. This is definitely my favorite music store not only because the gear is always accessible and priced right, but because Robert and Marilyn have ALWAYS greeted me with a smile. It's nice to just stop by and talk "music shop" with them knowing whatever my music needs are, they will make sure I get what I came for. THANK YOU Sound Associates and THANK YOU Robert and Marilyn for being the friendliest, most reliable music store I know of.

If you are tired of that mega-musak-store (you know the one, that rhymes with Guitar Center?), then…read moreswing by and spend a few moments supporting a local shop that is worth the oddball entrance. I've been playing gee-tar for quite a while, so I have most of my gadgets and gear, but as many musicians know, there is always room for more crap. Well not this time. Why you ask? Well over the years I've accumulated quite a few soft-cases for guitars, all of which were quickly replaced with hard-cases immediately to protect my babies. Well soft-cases aren't really in high demand, and they were filling up needed space in my casa, so I decided to donate them. On my way to Goodwill, I remembered that Jireh Music has those crappy commercials that make you remember their name. Instead of blindly donating my cases, I decided to get some big bucks for 'em. $2.00. Yep. TWO DOLLARS. Now this may sound like a bad thing through type, but $2.00 is still more than I had going into the store... Or so I thought. Checking our their current stash, I found another amp that I just HAAAAAAD to have, so I came out around $200 in the hole, OR DID I? Great guys working the shop with a lot of gear packed into a small space. It's not Guitar Center, but that's the good part... It's not Guitar Center. I'll be back to donate one thing and pick up another in the near future.

(A new record!) The nice man working the store was very helpful and was able to talk to me about their current inventory. They didn't have any Gibson guitars or pointy metal guitars, but their Fender and acoustic selection are solid. When I asked about specific products, he offered to call the store owner to haggle (awesome)! I didn't buy anything, we had to head back to downtown Atlanta for Coheed & Cambria, but I would certainly stop back in and/or haggle with them on Reverb. TLDR; looking for a Fender or an acoustic? Stop in.

** This review is just on the WeeJam Music Class for Kids **…read more We just attended our first Wee Jam class and it was so much fun! It is for kids ages 0-5, which at first I was nervous about, but it was fine. Parent involvement is needed, so if you think you are going to go and just watch, you are wrong. The class is on Saturdays before the store opens, and you need to per-register. It is an 8 week class that is about $130 for one kid and $200 for 2. The teacher gets everyone to sing songs, play instruments, and dance. My kids loved the drums and the songs. They made us all have a dance party and my little guy was rocking out to " We will Rock You" by Queen. It is nice that it is not all kiddy songs. They also were showing the kids how to keep a rhythm with drum sticks. I highly recommend this class to anyone with little rock stars!
