Where We Are

We're on the second floor of The Shirt Factory in Glens Falls. The building went up in 1902 as a men's shirt factory and made shirts until 1996. Today it's home to more than 70 studios, shops and galleries, and now a guitar shop. Use the Cooper Street entrance and take the stairs up. If stairs are difficult or you're bringing in something you don't want to carry up, call or text us and we'll arrange access.

How Lessons Work

Travis listens to what you want and builds a plan for it. He'll work on the songs you actually want to play, the foundation underneath them, technique, riffs, songwriting, or getting ready to perform, whatever the goal is. The first session is about where you're starting and where you want to go.

Younger Beginners

For a younger beginner: we offer 3/4-size electrics and smaller-body acoustics that fit hands and arms still growing into a full-size guitar. A full-size guitar can also be appropriate depending on the player. Bringing the beginner in is the best way to figure out which way to go.

Before the First Lesson

If you need a guitar, new and used inventory is worth browsing while you're up. It's often worth dropping your existing guitar off on the same trip for a $79 setup, because a guitar that fights you slows the learning down. Service is first come, first served. Need it back by a certain date? Let us know at drop-off and we'll do our best to accommodate. For more on the first steps, see our how to choose your first guitar page.

For a first instrument, start with the list of new guitars under $300 hanging here, priced, then our Squier page before making the drive.

A Guitar That Fits

If your child still needs a guitar, we can help you find one that fits properly and is comfortable to play through our First Guitar Help.
