Blues Guitar Deep Dive with Seth Rosenbloom

August 23 & 24 @ The Real School Of Music in Burlington, MA

A rare combination of seasoned player and passionate teacher, Seth brings his signature approach to vibrato, phrasing, string bending, rhythm, and improvisation -techniques he’s honed onstage alongside legends like Joe Bonamassa, Eric Johnson, and Kirk Fletcher. His album As The Crow Flies hit #1 on the iTunes Blues Chart, and his courses on ArtistWorks, TrueFire, and JamPlay are fan favorites for good reason.

Whether you're looking to refine your tone or unlock your soloing, Seth’s immersive workshop will leave you inspired and playing better.

Help Vance Gilbert Heal and Recover

Many of you may know Vance from his beautiful demo videos on our YouTube channel, and as a good friend of ours and staple of the New England music scene, we wanted to share that he’s been diagnosed with a treatable form of tonsil cancer. He’ll be undergoing chemo and radiation, which means canceled gigs and lost income in the months ahead.

If you’d like to help, you can donate whatever feels comfortable to support him during this time, or pick up some of his music - every bit helps Vance focus on healing, not bills.

THIS IS A STORE
BUILT BY MUSICIANS
FOR MUSICIANS

Since 1968, we have been here to help you find your next musical inspiration. In what can sometimes feel like an overwhelming process, our aim is to curate a rewarding, enjoyable, and unique experience of musical discovery.
Independent Retailer
Supporting independent retailers like The Music Emporium means supporting the local economy and community. We, in turn, love giving back to our local artists and venues as well as serving as a hub for our local music community.
Expert Guidance
We’ve seen it all from '59 Les Pauls, pre-war Martins, single luthier, factory built, vintage, preowned, to entry level. We use this collective experience to help guide you to the right gear for your needs & budget - without any commissioned advice.
Curated Inventory
Our inventory is a reflection of our collective love of great design, music, and instruments. If it’s listed for sale in our showroom or on our website, you can be sure it’s something we’d own and use ourselves.
Fast Shipping
Nothing makes time pass slower than excitedly awaiting your new purchases' delivery, which is why most orders ship the same day - after we do an inspection and fresh setup, of course.

TRADE | SELL

Whether you're looking to trade or sell your instrument, we’re here to help. With our robust online presence and premier showroom, we’re able to connect with a wide audience and deliver faster, more meaningful results for our clients.
