I buy strings here all the time and stop at the shop at least once every couple of weeks. This place is guitar and boutique pedal heaven. Literally they have such an amazing selection of guitars, but be forewarned this is not guitar center-type low quality stuff. This gear here is all top of the line, and it is expensive, but then again it's the same price you'd pay anywhere else. I'm also pretty certain that you could negotiate expensive products here as long as you are reasonable. I just had my bass, and two guitars set-up here. It was actually pretty expensive (Bluebond I've heard is cheaper, but I can't attest to quality), and I was a bit set-back until I got there and was shown what was actually done to my guitars -- not only was intonation and so-forth perfect, but the minor electrical issues, bridge cracking, strap holder looseness etc., was fixed completely. It was the best set-up I've ever seen done on guitars and after having them back for a day and playing through them all... damn they sound completely amazing. This place is definitely going to be my go-to spot for getting my gear serviced and picking up boutique pedal gear. Also, the guy who I presume is the owner Lou is a wealth of knowledge on everything related to guitars and very willing to stay late to help you out and share his knowledge , which I've never gotten from any other guitar shop (hello wannabe rockstars working at Guitar Center I'm talking to you...). If you are looking for a high-end new guitar, amp, or boutique pedals go to this store and talk to Lou personally -- not only will you end up with something either cheaper or pretty close to price you will get anywhere else for the same product, but you have someone who really cares about guitars that will service/set-up/ensure your satisfied with your purchase. I'm so happy I found this place after recently moving to Roxborough this is literally the guitar shop I've always wanted to have around.

The Short Version: This place is an amp lovers heaven…read more The Long Version: I decided to take a short trip up to Roxy Guitars. When you first walk in, it looks like a small average guitar shop, but if you look closer, you'll see it is anything but ordinary. They have pretty much ever pedal every made, nicely displayed in a huge set of cases. But the real magic happens when you venture upstairs. Never before in any guitar shop have I seen such a collection of amplifiers. Matchless, Buddha, Suhr, Engl, Marshall, Fender, Orange, Vox, Diveded by 13 and many many more. It was like I had died and gone to amp heaven. There were so many I was actually a little overwhelmed with where to start. Lou, the owner, and his associate were amazing. I spent about 2 hours playing about 5 amps with there help, then had him draw up a quote to order me a custom one. They were amazing. In addition to the unbelievable assortment of amps, they have dozens of high end guitars. Many boutique and custom shop one of a kind guitarswith exotic woods. They have a ton of a guitar called a Warrior, which is a brand I have never heard of until today, but they seem amazing. The inlay work was remarkable. I feel lucky to have discovered this gem and look forward to doing business with them. I will be back soon!

My teen daughter takes voice lessons from Laura who is absolutely wonderful. Laura is positive, knowledgable, kind, and encouraging. She customizes her lessons to each individual and she teaches everything from Rap to Opera and all styles in-between. I know she teaches piano too and there are other teachers there who teach other instruments as well. Although she teaches adults, I do highly recommend Laura if you have a shy or sensitive child.

If you want a short and direct answer to the question, "Should I start guitar lessons with David…read moreJoel?" then the answer is a resounding YES. Prior to working with David I had no experience playing guitar. I had a guitar I received as a Christmas gift that had not been touched in over a decade. David's structured lessons and tailored approach to my learning needs and musical interests kept me engaged. This allowed me to make consistent progress in both my musical knowledge and playing ability. After 3 years of lessons with David I went from having zero guitar knowledge to someone who can: 1. Confidently read music (I started learning in my first lesson). 2. Play with proper technique (this becomes increasingly important as the complexity of the pieces you play grows). 3. Music history (classic rock to jazz and more David can answer many questions. Most importantly, when he does not have an answer, he is honest and says so!). 4. Music theory (While I am still no expert David's organized approach and recommended reading material left me with a strong foundation to build from). David is a friendly instructor who keeps music fun while still imparting knowledge. He takes his role as a teacher seriously and wants to see you improve as a guitar player. With David's encouragement I began practicing an hour a day (most of the time) and it allowed me to quickly expand my guitar skills and get the most out of our one-on-one lessons. Lastly, David doesn't just have credentials as a Berklee College of Music graduate and former Berklee guitar teacher (among other accomplishments) but also has real experience teaching music. Playing music is a different skill set than teaching music and David mastered both. When I started guitar lessons, I had 3 different instructors who I would see weekly. They were all excellent and credentialed but David is the one I stuck with, and I have no regrets about it!

My experience with David as my teacher has allowed me to become the musician I am today and to…read morecontinue growing in a natural and organized way. The foundation that Davids teaching method lays down is absolutely crucial to understanding music in a greater perspective. The approach to new subjects was always at a comfortable pace, with regular encouragement from David. I never felt overwhelmed or over my head due to the way information is rolled out slowly once understood through practice. Possibly the best part of lessons with David is his ability to mold the curriculum to fit each students individual interests while always maintaining a through line of the foundational studies. The organization of Davids curriculum and the tips he offers on practice routines have lead me to become a very resourceful and efficient in my routines. I feel comfortable venturing into new topics and musical ventures on my own with these tools. On top of all of this David is a pleasure to sit with for an hour every week, Ill always be incredibly grateful for everything he has taught me over the years.
