That’s the musical question asked by the Brooklyn duo They Might Be Giants on their 1992 single “The Guitar.” It’s a fun, upbeat song, but the question is important because the answer could be YOU!
If you never played guitar before, picked it up years ago and put it down, or have a child looking for an instrument to pick up for the first time, a guitar and guitar lessons may be just what you’re looking for. And your local go-to store to come and learn more about all questions related to the guitar is Piero’s Music.
How might this work? Well, it would start with you coming into Piero’s Music on Broadway at 45th Street in Bayonne and talking with one of our music consultants. The person you begin your conversation with could become your teacher if everything aligns.
The reason we call people who work in our store consultants and not teachers or technicians is because they will help a customer through an entire process. When you begin the conversation, you may just be thinking about that old guitar that’s sitting in an attic and having it fixed up. That may just be a starting point for a conversation that could grow in many different directions.
For instance, the guitar you have may be an electric that needs service after many years of sitting around. That may be the first step for getting your old guitar into shape. It could need new strings, a neck adjustment or may need some parts replaced. It will probably need a good cleaning and perhaps some oiling with proper guitar oil and conditioner.
Does your electric guitar have a working amp? If you’re going to play, you’ll need an amp and a cable. You may have had one back when you played in your high school garage band, but today it’s a memory. Good thing Piero’s Music has a good selection of equipment like amps and cables to get you moving in the right direction.
Maybe it’s not just the guitar that needs a tune up. Perhaps your playing has gotten rusty. We feature many of the best guitar teachers in the area. We will work to accommodate your schedule and put you on a plan that will make your playing better than it was in even your fondest memories.
This might not be for you. You may have a son or daughter who wants to follow in your musical footsteps. Starting them with an acoustic guitar would be a great move, and we have some terrific starter packages that will help them take to the instrument quickly. And for younger students, many of our teachers work as music teachers at schools when they’re not giving lessons in the store, so they relate incredibly well to young students.
Whatever direction you are moving in when it comes to pursuing the guitar – whether it’s acoustic guitar or electric guitar, jazz, rock, folk or classical, beginner, intermediate or expert – Piero’s Music will find the right fit to suit your needs.
