The guys at the counter have always made me feel welcomed and appreciated as a customer. The first time I purchased a guitar here was back in the day at their old location. My mom brought me in and the sales guy kindly spent ages explaining to her the difference between many different types and models. He set me up with an inexpensive yet fantastic guitar that I still regret selling. It had such gorgeous tone. Buying my first guitar at here is a good childhood memory of mine. The second time, I wanted a specific model that wasn't in stock at this store. The sales guy who checked the stock at other stores and then placed the order for me was very nice and helpful. I've also rented a guitar and again, the process was quick and easy. I haven't spent much time in the other departments, but the selection for guitars and guitar accessories is terrific.

After being in Vancouver for a few days, I looked on-line for guitar rentals, not expecting to find anything. Lo, Long & McQuade popped up as the only viable option. Relatively close, too. Visited the North Van location and was in great hands with guitar rep, TARA (super friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating with my requests). Rented a Kramer Nite-V for two months for a fair price. Kept me from going insane. Only good things to say about the rental process. Other staff was great, too. Will definitely recommend to others and come back again when I'm in town.

One of the current teachers at SMC, Phil Korytko, I have had the honour of playing guitar with from time to time. I can easily state he one of the best guitarists I have ever met. From beginners to advanced students, this group is worth checking out.

I have been fortunate enough to be taking lessons at Blue Guitar Studio with Paul for almost a year…read morenow. For me, an instructor who has an undeniable and broad skill set and also active within the industry was an absolute must. I knew upon reviewing Paul's guitar ability, singing, and songwriting, that he would be an amazing mentor. When I first started, I had very little experience with only a basic knowledge of how to play based off my parents who played the guitar. Paul was able to quickly identify the best way to get me started after discussing my general goals and expectations and we dove right into playing a song my first day. He provides clear direction, weekly assignments, follow-up lesson videos to review after the session, and always asks for student feedback. His studio is professional and welcoming, with a multitude of guitars, instruments, amps, drums, and more! I can't wait to jam on every guitar on the wall! Paul provides so much more than just phenomenal guitar training, as he coaches people on singing, songwriting, drums, and so much more. He is a highly compassionate teacher, who understands that all students come with varying skill levels and challenges to overcome, and he treats every individual the same no matter what level they are. I am beyond grateful for the progress I have made in such a short time, with my guitar playing, singing, and with my own personal growth. To say Paul is one of the most talented people I have ever had the pleasure to work with is an understatement, and I look forward to many years of learning, jamming, singing, laughs, and friendship.
