Play Music — Attraction in Saugus

I have been dealing with Play Music since December, 2015. Taso, the owner, is awesome. I went into the store initially just out of curiosity. Taso was very friendly when I came in, and we talked about guitar stuff.  He seemed very knowledgeable, and so I asked him to do a set-up of my Jackson SLSMG, which has been my main guitar since I bought it new in 2005. The set-up was excellent, as good as any that I have ever had.

I then asked Taso about the lessons be offered.  I had been playing the electric guitar since 1976.  I was able to play well enough to play the things that I wanted to play.  However, I had always felt that I was missing something in terms of technique.  So I decided to give Taso's lessons a try.  After 18 months of lessons, my guitar playing skill is vastly better than it was in December, 2015, and I have Taso to thank for that.  He has improved my technique and taught me many things about fretboard theory.  I still have a host of things that I would like for him to teach me, and so I expect to be taking lessons from him for some time.

Play Music also has a good selection of guitars, amps and other instruments.  Thus far, I have bought there an amplifier, a solidbody guitar and two effects units.  The prices are very competitive, and the equipment has performed well. Taso also does repairs as well as set-ups, and he has replaced pickups and made adjustments to my guitars. I have been very happy with the work.

I have been buying guitar gear since 1976, including guitars by Gibson, Fender, G&L, Martin, Ibanez and Yamaha, and amplifiers by Fender, Marshall, Vox and Peavey, and I believe that I have a good appreciation of what is available.

If you want an instrument, or if you need guitar set-ups, adjustments or modifications, or if you want to learn to play the guitar, please do yourself a favor and visit Play Music before you visit any...

I walked in one day after searching online for guitar lessons and spoke with Maria a while. Taso had a student at the time so I waited while chatting with Maria who is very nice about how long I been playing and what I was looking for etc and she suggested that I meet and try a lesson with Taso that very day which I did. He had me play a little to see where I was at and we took it from there. I am just so glad to have a local shop again with people who care and are kind. Not too many around anymore. I recommend you stop by and...

I have been bringing my children here for guitar and piano lessons for 4 months now. It has been an incredible experience. My children have really enjoyed it and have learned very quickly. The work of the owner Tazo and his staff is highly professional. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to learn to play...
