Matt’s Music

Matt, Jay, and overall Matt’s Music are killer… New location is also pretty killer. Clean, well laid out, and of the brands they stock, you’ll find anything from the ‘entry-​level’ version to a $ 4000 plus version. Probably the best part is the guys… The last few years with the downturn economy all the fellows that actually KNEW anything had to get other jobs as the ‘mom & pops’ have gotten killed by guitar center. (Which ive gotten so frustrated overhearing ex-​burger flippers trying to talk guitars at GC ive been known to inject corrections while they present)
Somehow Matt’s has endured the bad economy and gotten bigger! Matt and Jay are very cool laid back guys who will be happy to help you tear into a top of the line Warwick on a top shelf Mesa Boogie… And then treat you first rate if you so choose to buy a cheaper model…
Price-​wise, i dont know if anyone even haggles in music stores, but at Matt’s you have no reason to… They must be HIGHLY in tune with websites, GC, etc since every price they’ve ever given me is right in line where you hope it is.
I wish they were closer to home for me, i have to drive an hour to the store, but it’s worth it to deal with these guys… They’re top notch

Matt’s is moving to another Weymouth location March 2012. Bigger practice rooms will be great.
Acoustic guitar teacher knowledgeable and helped me with technique, etc. I have future lessons set up and looking forward to progressing!

This rating is only for their acoustic guitar lessons…
I wanted to give them 2.5 stars…
I signed up for a 4-​pack of lessons which were very nicely given to me as a gift.
I really can’t say my experience was devistating… but…I did not continue after my 4^th appointment.
The teacher was OK, he was knowledgable, and qualified.
But in my frank opinion, I just didn’t play enough during the lesson.
(and I’m not the type to consider my lesson part of my practice routine)
We did a lot of talking, and I watched him play a lot.
I felt he needed to see me play more, and this just didn’t happen enough.
Maybe the lesson lengths were too short. The typical lesson is only 30 minutes long, which really isn’t long enough for me.
If I decided to go ahead with these guys, I would’ve requested 45 min. lessons, but then of course it would’ve probably cost more… hmf.
The rooms are a tad cramped… they’re the typical 1-​person practice room size.
It wasn’t a complete waste of time… I picked up a couple pointers, but I might’ve picked up the same by watching YouTube videos.
Maybe I just didn’t have the right «teacher/​student» chemistry…

Diezel guitar amps are somewhat of a rare breed, so you can’t just walk into Guitar Center and pick one up. They’re also a bit on the pricey side so expect to lay down some bank when you find one. Salwender International is the distributor but you’ll only find a handful of shops they sell to since Diezel is a one man boutique type of outfit. Surprisingly the best deal I could find was at Matt’s in Massachussetts and not only did they get me a good deal, they got a head and cab out to me pronto. Now the first cab had a tear in the Tolex and they replaced it pretty quickly. That’s amazing from something as large and unruly as a speaker cabinet. Great customer service considering they’re across the country from me.

This place is pretty good. Decent selection, fair prices, nice staff. I prefer the Kingston location, though it’s smaller, it’s never as busy. If you’re on the south shore and looking for music equipment, check this place out.
