    The extra one is for the good employess last year that really seemed to want to help. This review…read moreis for improvement, not degradation. I always get greeted at the Colorado Blvd. location and feel like a valued customer with someone always available for those pesky guitar and equipment questions there. Here, I wished they banned that damn front room where everyone seems to congregate at and get people on the floor engaging and making sales without pretension. If this was my business, everyone that walked into that store was a potential buyer adding to the bottom line even if it was a set of guitar picks! Sometimes you want to go to a brick and mortar store, bypassing all the online stuff and want to engage, learn and walk away that day with what you wanted. That is very important! It takes so many advertising dollars to get the customers in the door! Happy New Year Guitar Center!

    Overall, this Guitar Center location is ok. This is coming from a drummer's perspective so keep…read morethat in mind. The drum room has a decent selection of equipment, sets, cymbals and stuff but it does feel a bit disorganized and doesn't have an isolated room for trying out an acoustic set which is unfortunate. The employees there also all seem disinterested in helping out/answering questions. They were all either on their phones, talking amongst each other, or just didn't seem like they wanted to be there.

    I grew up in a musical family…read more I was a reluctant classical piano student for 10 years. On one hand, I was fortunate to have had lessons from one of the most renowned organists/pianists in the Washington, DC, metro area. On the other hand, I had little love for the keyboard or the music I was assigned to play. Nevertheless, I learned to appreciate good music and good musicians. The same year I quit the piano, a Gibson J-45 acoustical guitar arrived at Christmas. Like many teenagers, I day-dreamed about playing professionally without understanding what that required. Other things in life got in the way of guitar playing and the Gibson got sold. Forty years later, my wife and I were attending an art auction. The first item up for bid was a guitar with two months' worth of lessons. I made an opening bid... my wife gave me a surprised look... I didn't expect to win... I did. That's how I got started with Lyle Long - purely by chance. It's been one of the most satisfying, educational experiences in my life. I've studied under some exceptionally talented music teachers. Lyle stands at the top of that list for two reasons: his talent as an exceptional guitarist; but more so, because of his exceptional teaching skills. He has an uncanny ability to get to the essence of issues that frustrate music students. He does this on both an emotional and technical level. He has the unusual gift of being able to connect with both adults as well as young children. It is truly amazing to watch (or experience first-hand) how he translates complex music theory into easily understood concepts; guides students to understand these concepts with achievable techniques based upon their current skill levels; diagnoses errors and corrects habits; all of which combine towards building a strong foundation of confidence. For young people especially, I think acquiring confidence in something that they can value (and others value) is critical. I came to my first lessons with a lot of uncertainty about my technical capabilities and knowledge. Lyle literally started by returning me to a very basic level and showed me how much of the theory and techniques that I had learned many years earlier had actually gotten in the way of making me a better musician. I sometimes leave my lessons with thoughts about how very different my music life would have been if I'd had Lyle Long for a teacher forty years ago. If you are considering musical instruction for yourself, or for your children; at levels anywhere between beginner to professional, I highly recommend Lyle Long. You will not regret your decision.

    I learned to drum from my dad on his kit and I was finally ready to acquire my own. I was suggested…read moreby my extended family who have bought many many kits from Tim to check out his store. Tim was a data base of information and extremely helpful for me who had little knowledge of brand and quality for an affordable yet high quality kit. I was sold on a 5pc pdp concept. Along the way he let me know ways I could upgrade the kit to really make this thing sound good. I sprung for zidjian a custom and have never been so happy about springing for extra money then right there fabulous kit. Since then I go to his store 2 times a month roughly to build onto my setup and each time Tim is very helpful and patient with me as I ask him questions. I highly recommend any musician head down here before your generic music store.

His ultimate goal was to get the Zildjian New Beats Carter Beauford rocks. Little did he know that when he walked into this shop, they would have not only 1, but 2 used sets available! He was very pleased to be able to trade some unneeded cymbals and hardware towards the purchase. The shop is jam packed with guitars, drums, and equipment. We found out this store has been here 60 years, with the second generation of the same family owning it. I'm not sure which of the Kae brothers--Jason or Tim--helped us, but it was a pleasure doing business with him.
