I was pleased to discover a Guitar Center was in easy proximity to me when I relocated to the…read moredesert. The store in Palm Desert Ca. is very small but considering the smaller music scene here does it need to be bigger? They pretty much cover all the bases with a little bit of everything and adequate stock of the every day essentials such as strings, cords, pics and doodads. The staff has always been welcoming, friendly and the "appropriate amount" of helpful in that they ask if you need help and if you say no or just looking they leave you alone. But they are always right there if you do ask for assistance or information. Seeing some of the reviews stating "no body to help" or "I was ignored" makes me wonder because I visit frequently and have never found that to be the case. I've made two sister store purchases shipped to the Palm Desert store and everything went smoothly. One guitar I decided I didn't like and was able to return no hassle-no questions asked. I know that is store policy but I've never had to do that before so was pleased they are true to their word. Only disappointment I've had in the 6 years since moving to the area was I needed some string tree retainers for a Strat I bought off CL and though the website said they were in store stock, they weren't. And I can say that was my bad for not actually calling and confirming first. But the location is only 10 miles from me so no biggie.

My lesson was with Felix and we chatted for a few minutes and then he wanted to see where I was as far as BEGINNER skills. We went through some basic things, cords, leads, a touch on theory. We chatted about the guitar(s) I have at home. Felix not only made me feel good about what I've done on my own but really gave me some great idea on things to do at home. Felix showed me how easy it was to move from a basic pentatonic scale to actually creating some leads over a track and more! I wish I could say I got my money's worth, but the lesson was free! I left with more confidence than when I went in and plan to set up some hour lessons with Felix. THANKS FELIX!

But most importantly he, and his band are absolutely incredible musicians. They were able to feel the crowd, adjust their performance accordingly to keep everyone on the dancefloor, as well as offer to play any requests we had as the bride + groom. Three of the bandmembers are brothers and the chemistry really shows through in their performance. Their pricing was what i believed was a bargin, and you could tell they enjoyed playing as much as we enjoyed dancing. Bottom line, very easy decision to hire these guys for any event. 5 stars, thanks fellas!
