Tom Rule will be talking about keyboards & combo amps & music technology in general,
Mark Williams will demo Roland's electronic drums and the Rock-Band compatible software that's available,
and Bobby Hall & Matt Moncrief will talk guitars and Boss effects pedals.
Dan Quisenberry will float, answering all those questions the other guys can't answer.

We’ll have 2 sessions:

Power Up, boys!

These Danelectro Vintage Power Source batteries are perfect for those guitar pedals. They give a different sound than the modern day batteries, especially with the older pedals. Come on by YAMS and check them out!

Hannah Montana Pocket Amp - Practical???

Yes, it's a real live amplifier for your guitar. Yes, it actually works!

Now that we got THAT out of the way - this is a working amp that fits in your pocket. You plug your guitar into it (I'd take it out of your pocket first, though), plug the headphones in [which ARE included, by the way], and wail away!

It's great for practicing, for playing, and for blocking out your annoying little brother.

Plus it isn't a whole lot of money! If you've got a Guitar Girl in your house, come on by YAMS and pick a couple up - it just might make the house quieter!

Power up your pedals, boys!

Tired of swapping out those 9 volts batteries in your Boss pedals? here's your solution - the Boss PSA02 power supply. It' provide clean, consistent  power to your pedals and is designed to NOT take up a lot of room on your power strip.

Hey, a user-friendly wall wart. It's about time!

Come by YAMS and check it out! This makes a GREAT Christmas gift for your guitar player!

Kazoos...... really?

Of COURSE we have Kazoos at Young America Music.

Macon was the birthplace of the instrument, after all! They are inexpensive (only a dollar with tax!), so come by and start your own family band that's a lot of fun for not a lot of money.



Hey, maybe we should start a kazoo class.... talk to Emmett if you're interested!

Only at Young America Music School!

Crate Amps at YAMS!

We just got in several new Crate amps that we're excited about. These amps look great, and sound great as well.

Features vary by model, but most have a built-in tuner, and some even have digital effects builtin as well!

Jumbi steel drum

OK, this one is just cool, and tons of fun to play with. It's a genuine steel drum, complete with stand and "mallets", that has a surprisingly good tone. While I think it's really meant for the education market - to be used in a music classroom - it would make  great addition to any studio or band. For that matter, a playroom!

It offers an octave's worth of notes from the major scale, and works well with guitarists playing in sharp keys. If you don't know what that means, don't worry about it - it's just fun, and the design makes it hard to hit a "clam" note.

We've had a ball doodling with it at the store - Emmett & Peggy both have had to chase the teacher's off of the thing when we're between students!



Guitar Teacher (and member of the Mosely Dixon Project) Bobby Hall was even caught on camera playing with the Jumbi!



Here's what it sounds like. (This was captured with a nintendo DSi).

So come by the store and play with the thing!
