Sunday July 12 – Thursday July 16, 2015
World class guitar instruction featuring a variety of levels and styles including flatpicking, fingerpicking, swing/jazz, blues, folk and country, plus practical music theory, mini-concerts, jam sessions, song swaps and more!
Ashokan Guitar Camp offers guitarists of all levels an opportunity for real immersion and growth on the instrument in a friendly environment where people can sing, jam and share valuable musical information.
You’ll come away with new repertoire and techniques, a reinvigorated sense of direction and purpose, and a greater confidence and joy in creating music.
There’ll be classes in blues, country, and folk finger-style, Bluegrass, blues and country flat-picking, and jazz/swing melody and accompaniment. Levels from beginner to advanced will allow you to hone your existing skills or try something new.
Evenings will include mini-concerts and presentations, where our instructors will talk about and demonstrate their musical influences, share their iPods and answer questions.
