As far as indie shows go, I would check out the Northside Tavern and the Comet, both on Hamilton Avenue in Northside. Go to Cincymusic.com to check out local gigs.

I don't know about a cool guitar shop. There is a place called Mike's Music on Vine St. in Clifton that has vintage pieces (not cheap).

fretware guitars in downtown franklin is pretty cool - lots of old gibson guitars and fender amps. um, you take 73 out of oxford all the way to Middletown (where my girl is from!), and then follow it north through franklin. You'll have to jump over a block or two east off 73 to get to fretware. downtown franklin isn't that big, and fretware has a website, so it should be easy to find.

also mike's guitars on short vine in clifton is pretty cool - big store, lot's of old everything - guitars, basses, folk instr, keys, fender amps. i've never been to the 3rd floor, but i hear it's cool, "secret", etc. short vine is sort of adjacent to the UC campus. the store is like 2 doors south of Bogarts.

i second the northside tavern. and check out sudsy malone's - occasinally they have good metal shows - lot's of crap though, and a bit hipster-y. if you do your laundry there during the day you get into the show for free at night, which is pretty sweet.

if you're at the northside, go across the street to the record store. i can't remember the name of it for the life of me right now, but they have a pretty alright selection.

ps - stay at the southgate house; pretty much every touring act i wanted to see came there eventually. the other places cater to the local scene, which i have no idea about anymore.

pss - i got kicked out of the comet years ago for trying to use a fake ID. the girl let me keep it, which was cool, but i had to miss my friend's show.
