It's probably the coolest little thing I've found in a long time.

-Smart Jam lets you slow down songs you want to play and shows the chords/tabs.
-let's you access Spotify to play along with your favorite songs
-Tone Cloud lets you access presets others have created to have that tone you want from your favorite band
-Bluetooth or aux in your noise canceling headphones and it's simply bliss

I got a kid on the way and this definitely going to make night time duty hours go by better

For $130, this thing rocks!

Finally decided to bring my Schecter to the office since I have my positive grid spark.

Worked out well. One of my patients ripped out the monitor from the nurses station and threw it across the unit in rage. I was able to bring him back to my office and played some riffs for him and he relaxed and was smiling.

Music is therapy folks!

Guilty pleasure of enjoying her music.

Don't worry, it's right next to my latest issue of guitar world. Great month!

You can get digital subs for $10 or so. Nice to have them on an iPad or computer when learning the stuff in each issue.

Taylor jamming out on a Fender Jaguar on her 1989 tour. This is my favorite rendition of that song.

She's got a great voice for this style of music. Pray to god she has a Stevie Nicks era when she gets older and steers away from pop. Folklore and Evermore but with distortion!

Looks like I'm gonna be getting this as my Father's Day present.

Nah! It will be fun as hell! Just relax and enjoy the moment. No irrational thoughts allowed!

He should be the nervous one. There's probably some fans and guitar players that would give him a run for his money.

That is Allsome!!!

What is that guitar he is playing? I haven't seen that one yet!

It's a non-production custom made just for him by PRS that's just called Stella. To my knowledge he has two that are trem models and two that are hard tail. Supposedly he drew it for Paul and they made them. Personally I think it looks like he drew a guitar when he was five and now has the ability to make it happen. They've said explicitly there are no plans to turn it into a production model.

So here's my other conundrum. I live in League City. I'm going to the concert that night. Obviously I want to take my Tremonti, but I don't know about leaving it in a vehicle in the summer in Texas. Worth the risk?

That would scare me. Opening that hot guitar case in an air conditioned room? Yikes.

I think it'll be the other way around. The clinic will be in the afternoon prior to the concert going from the truck to the clinic back to the truck. My concern is it will go to the truck and likely have to sit there for several hours before sundown.

You could always grab a hotel up there. Go to the lesson, go back to your hotel, drop the guitar off, go back to the concert. Bonus if you stay by waterway and can just walk back and forth.

That's definitely a possibility. I also know somebody that lives in the Woodlands area but I'm not sure how close they are to the Pavilion and whether it would be a viable option to drop it there.

Lug it around the show in a gig bag so people will know you are serious business!

I went to a Granger Smith concert in Killeen in 2015. They said we get to bring something to sign so I brought my acoustic 12 stringer. Cool experience and got to hang in his tour bus and talk for a bit.

I had some ooos and awes walking through a small crowd with my guitar because people thought I was going to play. Cool little 20 seconds of stardom lol

Sam Ash is closing all stores.

It's getting harder and harder to find local guitar stores.

I would like to try out mid-range to expensive guitars and the options are few and far between.

Hot take, but I have never had a problem with Guitar Center. I have bought most of my equipment from there including keyboards and other stuff.

I have had trouble with smaller guitar stores with random rules about playing guitars and just not friendly.

You still have Guitar Center, and there are also usually a few local stores in most major cities.

Guitar Center has a large assortment of $300 or less guitars. I love the fact that they let you play at will but it's geared towards lower end guitars IMO.

Small shops hide their nice guitars behind the counter and you have to have an awkward encounter to play one.

The struggle is real

Where are you located? I've got a small shop by me that they're hung on the wall. Think their only "rule" is washing your hands before you play them but I don't even know if that's enforced.

Hotel won the day aided by the notion of not having to drive back to the League City after the show.

For Guitar Center, you have to go to the right one. Which metroplex do you live near?

Most big cities have one Guitar Center with all the nice guitars.

I'm in north Houston, the one I've gone to is off 249.

In Houston, you need to go to the Guitar Center location off Westheimer; that one has the largest platinum room because it is the primary Guitar Center in the area. The one off Yale has a smaller room with around 15-20 Fenders and 15ish Gibsons. I believe those are the only two guitar centers in Houston with a Platinum room.

Fuller's Guitars is a great shop to play many quality guitars, and it's not a big deal to take anything down. All the Fenders, including the Custom Shops, are out on the floor to be pulled down and played if you want to. The Gibsons and some other custom brands are behind the counter, but you can ask the guys for any of them, and they will pull them down for you.

John is my favorite employee there. He's the skinny guy in this late 50's or early 60's, and is very helpful. Sometimes I just go in there and ask him to show me what new guitars they have that are really good. He'll immediately point to a few that have that little extra "something".
