I went in with my friend and his kid to check out microphones around 5:20 pm on August 14th. I'm wearing a green shirt and glasses. Please pull your footage. We started at the keyboards then made our way to the microphones. When we were looking for about 5 mins reviewing options. This blonde-haired Guitar Center "Employee" came to the iMac station area turned on a backup battery and immediately it started beeping. He was asked by my friend if there was anywhere else we could look at microphones and he gave a disgusting answer. Then if you pull up the footage from your side, you'll see the child visibly grab his head because of the loud sound. The dude went to the front desk and never returned. I can say so many DISGUSTING things about why this happened and why he would behave like that and not respond to a sensory issue occurring with a child. When confronting staff they did not give a rat's hairy asssssss. I DON'T CARE. Look at this

Very special veteran, built…read moreair strips on embattled Pacific Islands during World War II as a SeeBee, lived a century and passed away last year. I grabbed my cornet WITHOUT valve oil in my case. I HAVE to apply valve oil before I play, it's a thing. I only find out I have no valve oil when I arrive, but thanks to YELP I find a music store that's only 12 minutes away. Thank you YELP. As I'm hopping out of the car and walking to the front entrance, I open up YELP to check in and notice it doesn't open for 10 minutes. A second horrified surprise, but as I'm standing in front of the locked door the owner walked up on the other side and opened up early for me. Quickly, well sort of quickly, sold me a bottle of Al Cass valve oil (it's one of the better brands) for a reasonable price and I was able to properly honor a special vet at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

I absolutely love Uncle Jon's. Jon Sr. I believe is the man that has worked on a few on my guitars…read more His work is exceptional and price friendly! He has fixed my Fender Strat when I thought it was beyond repair, he tuned up my PRS, and he completely hooked up my Ollandac. I had the Ollandoc custom made and when it arrived it needed lots of work. He adjusted the nut, straighten the neck, installed new Duncan 59 pickups on both the neck and bridge. The pick ups were a bit tricky because they are the 4 conductor model that needed to be wired up for straight humbucker, split coil, and parallel switching. UJM is the only place I trust to touch my babies and she sounds amazing now! The work is done fast, correct, cost effective, and you can tell they take pride in their work. Love the fact that they don't try to up sell you and they give great advise. Give the small guys a chance and stay away from big shop retailers that only care about $$$$. The staff if friendly and fun to talk too, UJM has a customer for life and I recommend them to anyone I talk too! Well done UJM!

At Stonegrove you can mingle with people that are beginners , amazing musicians, kids and people in their 40's - 60's and not to mention people that have sold records in the millions! Yes, you may bump into a rock star or two here- NO JOKE! The teachers are great, the owner Max is very knowledgeable, kind, relaxed but will tell you like it is and the store itself is warm and comforting. When I'm looking for a new guitar I come here first. When I'm looking for a set of strings I come here first. When I'm looking for a guitar setup I come here first and when I'm looking for some friendly advice or discussion about music I come here first. Bottom line - You won't be disappointed!

My all time favorite guitar guru Max Dombrowksi owns La Grange's beloved Stone Grove Guitar Shop…read more Located right off the tracks a few blocks from downtown La Grange. This is my other fav guitar shop to go and hang out and talk shop. Varied types of vintage and new guitars hang there for sale. But the most business comes from people taking music lessons. Max has 4 lesson rooms that are nearly full each and every day. He has a great group of instructors for guitar, bass, drum, and piano. They also do the most setups that I've ever seen - except for maybe Guitarcenter. Separately, Max is a gifted multi instrumentalist, a former Eagle Scout, and is one of the founders of a great band called Twin Jones. Sort of Sloan meets the Beatles and Pink Floyd.
