Need some music gear? Here is my “go to” place online 

If you are an advancing musician or soon to be one, you need special tools for your craft. Strings and drum heads break, picks and capos get lost and that other thing might be way cooler than the one you have now or you might need a few of those other things. Sometimes five guitars is not enough! There are way worse ways to spend your money for sure.

First let me say if you are lucky enough to live in a place that has a friendly local independent music store, always support them when you can. If they help you out when you are in a bind, give you leads on gigs or other musicians to play with and sponsor local kid clubs then honor that relationship. Even if it costs a little more or takes a little more time to get it’s worth it. It’s clear to me that life is mostly about relationships. Try to create and nurture healthy ones whenever possible.

However, if you are like most people and don’t have a great local shop then my “go to” place online is sweetwater.com. They are by far the best online music store I’ve ever worked with. If I can’t get what I need at my local music store then Sweetwater is my first stop for getting gear online. It’s also the place I always feel comfortable sending people to when they need something. Especially beginners.  

Sweetwater.com pretty much has everything you might need at the best prices especially when you are starting out. Maybe not every brand and model ever created but all the bases are covered with quality stuff that they stand by.

One cool thing they do that no one else has done for me is check in every once in a while. My account rep rings up maybe once or twice a year to see if I need anything or how that last piece of gear worked out for me. There is no sales pitch or pressure to do anything. They just check in to see how I am doing which makes me feel like they actually care about me and music path.

Lastly and I don’t know if they still do this but occasionally they would include some chocolates in with the order. Talk about a way to win customers over. Yeah dopamine!

Here are the main reasons why I recommend working with Sweetwater:

1.They almost always have what you need at the best price. 
2. You can actually talk with a real live human if you have questions or problems unlike with Amazon and eBay purchases. 
3. Sweetwater customer account reps actually know what they are talking about and if they don’t they connect you with someone who does. 
4. If you prefer not talking with someone, the web site is easy to purchase items from quickly. 
5. I feel 100% good about sending people to there knowing that they will be well taken care of. 
6. Customer check in- You might get a friendly hello once in a while.
7. I’ve never had a single problem with them or had to return anything.
8. Potential for chocolate.

I would 100% still be sending people to Sweetwater even without the affiliate link because they are so great but it does help me pay the bills. If you decide take a look at the great deals on cool stuff they have I appreciate it but no worries if not. Thanks!
