Backstage now has a new Classroom Suite in the store, with space for three guitar instructors to teach simultaneously. Each of our instructors can give individual lessons without hearing or disturbing the lessons in the other rooms. Lessons begin at 3:00 each afternoon, Monday through Friday, and we have some lesson slots available. To begin guitar lessons, or just to learn more about the lessons, see the "Lessons" section in the menu on the left side of this page. Drew will be glad to help you in any way he can.
There's nothing worse than being shown up by someone half your age, unless it's being shown up by someone 1/15th your age. Howard Wong, a more than proficient drummer, demonstrates his skill in a mall show packed with spectators. Normally a drummer playing to a recording wouldn't merit a first look, much less a second look, except that Howard is... get ready.......... prepare yourself.............. three years old. One or two mild goofs don't faze him, as he recovers quickly and rocks on. Be sure to watch his facial expressions toward the end of the video. Jeez, I wish this kid lived next door!
Every now and then a cool piece passes through the Backstage portals that we just feel the need to share with our friends. This is a "no name" archtop that bears a strong resemblance to some of the old Harmony and Kay economy archtops from the 1960's and 1970's. It's all laminated wood, no headstock logo, and no label inside. Your guess is as good as ours on what name it once carried, if any. Believe it or not, this wasn't the most economical guitar made back then. Harmony had an all-laminate archtop with both f-holes and fretboard "inlays" that were painted on. This guitar, while certainly a bargain instrument, is still a cut above that. (Neither the guitar nor Don are for sale. Sorry.)
