Best used guitar and amp inventory in the city hands down…read more I can't believe some of the reviews I've read of people crying because they weren't treated like royalty upon entering the front door. These guys are professional musicians not McDonalds employees. They're here to deal and do serious business not wait on you hand and foot. Grow up. I've been coming here for years. Some days the customer service is better than other days, oh well. This bit of advice will go a long way when dealing with most mom and pop music stores. Do some research and have a fucking clue before waking in. This isn't a Burger King. You aren't going to "have it your way" here. Leave your entitlement at the door.

If you are looking for a new guitar to buy online, the first place you should checkout is Alamo…read moreMusic Center out of San Antonio, TX. Let me tell you why. There are so many things to consider when buying online. You need to know that the people you are dealing with are honest and honorable. You will not find better people than Chris McKee and Cooper Greenberg. They are the best. You also want to make sure the people that you talk to are guitar experts. Just check out Chris' and Coopers' You Tube channel, Alamo Music Center, and watch their informative and entertaining guitar review videos. You will come away impressed by their expertise and knowledge. They want to make sure you select a guitar that meets your criteria and your needs rather than just trying to sell you a guitar. You want a store that treats the customer with respect and bends over backwards to make sure a customer is satisfied. I can vouch from personal experience that they know how to treat a customer right. I have purchased guitars from some of the biggest guitar places in the US and none of them come even close to meeting all of the criteria I have listed above, except for Alamo Music Center. I have purchased my last two guitars from them and will always go to Alamo Music Center first. Check them out and maybe like me Alamo Music Center will become your favorite and go to guitar store. Pro Tip: When they have a sale pay attention and peruse the inventory for your next guitar. Their deals are fantastic! Thank you, Alamo Music Center!

I have purchased several acoustic guitars from Alamo Music through the years and each transaction…read morehas been smooth and flawless. My most recent purchase was for a used guitar with a face that only a mother would love, but that was okay with me. The entire purchase was done entirely by text and their representative, Cooper, answered all of my questions, some of them nitpicking, patiently and completely. The price was fair. Response timely. He even sent me pics and a video of him playing it. So helpful. While I have bought guitars and gear from other online outfits Alamo's service takes the prize. Highly recommended.

We've had a really positive experience with MACSA. My son takes music lessons with Dr. Jimmy Cheung…read moreand it's been such a great fit for him. Dr. Cheung is incredibly patient, enthusiastic and clearly passionate about teaching. He takes the time to meet my son where he is which has made a big difference in both his confidence and consistency. My son has made leaps and bounds since starting lessons with him and it's been really rewarding to watch that progress. My son has had a few injuries from BJJ and wrestling and Dr. Cheung worked with him to adapt lessons so he could continue practicing using one hand. That level of support and problem solving meant a lot. One thing I especially appreciate about MACSA is how many opportunities they offer beyond weekly lessons. There are regular performance opportunities and competitions, which give students a chance to grow, build confidence and apply what they're learning in a meaningful way. The pianos the students get to practice on are also beautiful which adds to the overall experience and makes it feel even more special. It feels like a place that truly supports both skill development and a genuine love for music. I'm really glad we found it.

He knows how to play like I've never seen before. He can be more than a guitar teacher as well, he gave me life advice and would pick me up if I was feeling down a little bit. His teaching style is laid back but makes sure if notices the slightest thing you can improve on, he'll bring it to your attention. I had a unique request to learn a mix of rock and rap style of guitar. He made a specific learning plan for me and it was exactly my taste. He even gave me notes right away to a song that I asked for on the spot. I genuinely highly suggest Art as a teacher, and a mentor in a way. Yall will have fun and learn a lot. Thanks, Art. I miss jamming out, learning, and having some laughs with ya. -Aspen Plummer
