Guitar Merchant, a home for guitar players. Guitar Merchant was founded in 1999 with the vision of creating a space where a person who has a desire can buy a guitar, have it serviced, take music lessons, meet fellow players of all skill levels and have a venue to play music.
At Guitar Merchant we understand that the guitar to the player is like the paintbrush to the artist, therefore we offer a wide selection of guitars, new and vintage, electric and acoustic. We also sell, buy, consign and trade guitars, offering a never ending source instruments along the guitarists journey.
Need repairs? From a simple replacement of strings to the creating of a custom guitar, our service department is more then equipped to handle any and all of your service needs in a professional and timely manner.
Guitar Merchant’s musical education programs offers private and group lessons to all ages and levels of experience. We have a full staff of teachers who can take you from your first lesson to highly advanced levels of guitar styles and techniques. Guitar Merchant also offers bass, drums, and vocal lessons. (Hey, let’s start a band!!!)
The Guitar Merchant has become a home for many of Los Angeles and Ventura County’s finest independent music acts and visual artists.
From Jazz to County, Rock to Hip-hop, Singer/songwriter to spoken word, Guitar Merchant features it all! Top quality live sound and beautiful, intimate room ambience make the Guitar Merchant experience a must! Guitar Merchant is also available for movie filming, private parties, CD promo parties and educational events. (Seating cap 88, nightly, daily, and hourly rates available) (myspace.com/theverityroom)
Guitar Merchant has a hidden agenda. “World Peace through Music” Where one might think we are just out to have fun and play guitars all day and listen to great music at night, we in fact are serious about making the world a better place through music. We believe it’s not about what you can take from the planet, but what you give back. With open hearts and unconditional love, we invite you to express yourself through music and join us in making the world a better place.
Who I'd like to meet: Musicians, artists, open souls, those to join us in our musical revolution.

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4
