Episode 42: Support your local guitar shops!

Episode 42 Comes to you live (sort of) from my hotel room in Tampa,
Fl! It was my first time in Tampa and so I checked out a couple
guitar shops (check out my Instagram feed for pictures) and some
local beer (Thank you Tampa Bay Brewing Company!) While I was there
I met a couple young guitarists, one who was just starting out and
another who absolutely blew me away with his skills. And that's the
topic of this episode. Guitar shops: Where guitarists can hang out
and meet each other. We are full swing in the digital age and there
are so many great things because of it. For example, I was able to
record this podcast in my hotel room on my iPad and then upload it
to my FTP site. I love the age we live in and I love being able to
order anything I want or need at anytime. What I miss is the local
guitar shop. They are dwindling. Where I currently live we only
have two local shops and they are ok. One has been getting better
and better. What's it been doing differently? focusing on the
"community" aspect of being a guitarist. Community and having a
cool place to gather, play and shop is what pushes the community
forward. What are your Favorite shops? Share them with us
