  • Guitar Center is contemporaneously one of my favorite and least favorite places on earth. It heaves at you a hearty helping of goodness with some bad mixed in, and it's up to you to take from the experience what you choose to. Here's the deal: The Pros: I play guitar. And I could burn an entire day in here with all of the toys and instruments that they liberally allow customers to tinker with, no problem. They seem to understand that even if you clearly won't buy the $4,000 Taylor hanging high on the wall that you just have to play it, for atleast a few minutes, and they let you. Most independent guitar shops won't let you even touch guitars like that unless you look ready, willing and able to buy the thing. In addition to that, despite the name, it's not just guitars they're slinging over there. They have drums and all kinds of percussion, as well as any kind of simulator, sampler or pedal you can think of to play around with. It's like a free Disneyland for musicians. The Cons: As I stare at the beautiful, super high-end guitars glowing underneath the harsh lighting, it occasionally occurs to me: I WILL NEVER OWN THAT GUITAR. I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO DROP $20 G's ON AN INSTRUMENT. That's a bad feeling. On top of that, there is the local shredder. If you have ever been inside a Guitar Center, you know what I'm talking about. At every GC in the United States, I am convinced that they hire someone to play Megadeth solos over and over with the amp blaring just to be sure that a-holes like me won't stay too long playing the instruments they'll never buy. Next time you go in, listen for the obnoxious fingertapped solos coming from the corner. That's him, and he would like you to get going. In Phoenix, we are lacking in the way of independent music shops, and those that do exist have limited selections. When I need something music related, I come here. It's as simple as that. It's convenient and there are things I like about it. I just wish I could stay longer.
