The post Guitar Musings and Twitter first appeared on Guitar Musings.]]>Some of you may have noticed my Twitter update component on the right side of the blog.  Some of my friends and family have asked me, “what the heck is Twitter?”  I tried to explain it and they got the basic idea but still had that confused look on  their face.  So check out the YouTube video below which explains Twitter in “plain English” and much better than I ever could.  Then give Twitter a try and maybe sign up and check out my updates.

The post Guitar Repair first appeared on Guitar Musings.]]>I just purchased “The Acoustic Guitar: Adjustment, Care, Maintenance, and Repair,” (thoughts on book in upcoming posts).  Mainly because I want to be able to make the necessary adjustments to my instrument without having to take it into a shop all the time.   Some might want to work on their own guitar as well but others would rather give it to a professional but how can you find a good repair shop in your area?

I have a new friend through Twitter who provides great help in finding such guitar repair shops.  It is repairmyguitar.com, which is a searchable database of repair shops throughout the United States.  All you need to do is visit the site, choose your city, state and you will be given a list of local repair shops.  I would say the list is pretty decent for the areas that I looked up and I’m sure that it is growing everyday.  In the future, I hope to see an option to search for luthiers.

If you are looking to repair, setup or just do some standard maintenance on your guitar, check out repairmyguitar.com and find a local shop.  They currently have a promotion where if you can win $50 if you submit a review of a shop that you used.  Reviews will give us even more confidence in using this search tool.  If you own a shop or repair guitars, visit the site and get listed, it’s free and a invaluable tool to promote your business.
