When I managed a video game store in the early 90s it felt just like this, and even then, we were way faster. Their systems, processes, and overall business model is way outdated.

I'd definitely recommend stopping by and talking to Alex. Best regards, Anthoni.

Unfortunately, none of them hipped me to their absolute no way no how zero returns policy when i made a purchase under duress and need. They kind of had what i needed so in a pinch, I was grateful. When my situation changed, and I would have gladly accepted store credit they said "no way no how!" to my humble request to return or exchange brand new stuff in original packaging. Its no wonder stinkin guitar center prevails in this economy. Someone help out the underdogs so they can maybe run a good business! Shop at your own risk friends. Happy music making no matter what!

This is a fantastic environment for kids of any age (students' age range is generally about 5-15, I believe). Students are given creative control over their own band's music, from performing to recording and even composing. I have looked into other similar programs in the area, but this one stands out by a mile. Prices are very reasonable, Matt W. (teacher, HRA President) is wonderful with children, and most importantly-- this seems to be the ONLY program around that does not simply urge the kids to churn out recycled covers of other people's music, but truly encourages them to expand their horizons by finding their own voice and creating their OWN original music. Experience levels also vary, from absolute beginner on up. My son went into the program never having played an instrument in his life and is now well on his way to learning both bass and keyboard. HRA has really brought him out of his shell in many ways-- at first he was a bit scared about playing in front of ANYone, and now he's writing and singing his own songs in front of big audiences at their concerts! I would recommend the Hollywood Rock Academy without hesitation to anyone looking for a secure, creative, and nurturing musical environment for their children. I really can't say enough good about this program and what it's done for my family.

Formerly on Pico near the Westside Pavillion, but they have now moved down Pico to the other side of the 405, one block West of Barrington. I took a sax there for repair, as leaky as a half-day old tuna fish sandwich, and they got it done for me at a shockingly low price. And it was repaired well, it looks plays beautifully. In addition to being affordable, they (Garrett) were friendly and helpful and their repair guy did the job promptly. I couldn't ask for better service. I also know from previous experience that they provide good rental instruments, also at reasonable rates. They have a selection music books and supplies, too, at competitive prices. With the number of music shops dwindling, I urge folks on the West side to support Adams' survival by giving them your business instead of buying supplies on line. It's a good store and a resource worth preserving for our community.

It was it's own experience. There are tons of plaques of handprints and signatures of famous musicians and bands. It's really cool and I enjoyed looking at all of them seeing who I could find. When you enter the store you see how big it is. It has several sections with different types of instruments. There is a variety of guitars, a drum section with cymbals and so many other things. As far as service goes we had limited conversations. We just walked in and the person working at the front just kind of looked at us and nodded. One person passing by us did say that if we needed anything or if we had any questions to let him know but that was about it. Overall this Guitar Center visit was okay. The exterior plaques are really cool to look at, and the store is huge with a variety of musical instruments to look at or purchase.
