Guitar
Week has grown each year to become one of the finest programs of its kind anywhere. Selected as one of the top three music camps by Acoustic Guitar magazine, we are proud that folks like what we do and want to keep coming back year after year.
For 2008, we feature some exciting new instructors and a few popular staff members returning after a few years absence. We will once again offer classes in flatpicking and fingerstyle acoustic guitar in all styles for all levels from Beginning to Advanced. We also have three dobro classes, two levels of mandolin, and a clawhammer banjo class. With more world-class instructors on the staff this year than ever before, we are able to offer an even wider variety of subjects. In addition to the typical offerings, we will have more blues, Christmas music for guitar, and World Music classes like Pan-African Band, Gypsy Jazz, Bossa Nova and of course, Hawaiian Slack Key. Ed Dodson will again lead slow jams after lunch each day, and Friday’s supper will feature Patrick Landeza’s now-legendary luau. Throughout the week, our Luthier’s Exhibit will feature instruments from several of the country’s top guitar-builders. We will once again have a variety of Beginning to Intermediate level classes to accommodate those students who aren’t quite ready for the Intermediate to Advanced classes, so please read the descriptions carefully before your decide where you belong. We want everyone to get the most out of their week. For most of our classes it is recommended that students should play at an Intermediate level: students should have mastered beginning skills, be able to tune their instruments, keep time, play the principal scales cleanly, and know how to play a few tunes with confidence. Guitar Week runs concurrently with our Contemporary
Folk Week, and students may take classes in either program.
