Members kwakatak Posted September 25, 2015 Members Share Posted September 25, 2015 Not me, though I'd love to. I hear they're expensive and book quickly though. Personally, I'd probably nod off halfway through a lecture. I hate formal lectures - no matter how dynamic the presenter's personality. I imagine that the informal stuff would be fun though.

Members FretFiend. Posted September 25, 2015 Members Share Posted September 25, 2015 I've considered going to the Kaufman Kamp a couple of times. Steve Kilby teaches a week long flatpicking course at the John C Campbell Folk School every year. I went a few years back. It was a bit pricey, but it was fun. Gotta love that Folk School. I still can't play. Not his fault. My playing sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Idunno Posted September 26, 2015 Members Share Posted September 26, 2015 I'd rather take a pie making class instead. Beer tasting would be cool, too. Anything but guitar lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Freeman Keller Posted September 27, 2015 Members Share Posted September 27, 2015 My wife offered me a four day masters workshop with Alex d'Grassi (and several others) - I told her it would be waste of her money. We went to his concert instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willy D Guitar Posted October 20, 2015 Members Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hello - first time post on this forum.I attended the T.E. Guitar Camp in Cambria CA last month. Very fun and social event.The lessons/lectures were very informal with lots of Q&A discussions. The instructors were all great folks and very experienced musicians.Tommy Emmanuel is an absolute hoot to be around ... not to mention that you get to witness many hours of his talent and genius "up close and personal" throughout the duration of the camp.

Members ski219 Posted October 21, 2015 Members Share Posted October 21, 2015 When I saw Tommy E. at BB King's in NYC summer of 2014 after he actually gave a mini lesson in the middle of his show. He finished playing a tricky little tune and then asked the audience, "would you like to see how I didi that?" Then proceeded to show us some licks. Earlier he had asked how many guitar players were there. By the show of raised hands well over 90% of us were pickers. I have been working on his version of Amazing Grace.

Members Queequeg Posted November 3, 2015 Members Share Posted November 3, 2015 I've seen him 3 times and he's coming back around here in February so I picked up a couple of tickets to see him again.I thought he had outgrown our little 400 seat venue but I guess not. Every seat is close up like he's in your living room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Idunno Posted November 8, 2015 Members Share Posted November 8, 2015 If I went it would be pearls before swine. Have to bring own sleeping bag? Roast marshmallows? Same. I like playing acoustic guitar but, listening...? Once upon a time many years ago, maybe. TE drives me up a wall, anyway. I attempted roasting marshmallows t'other day. Brought back memories of sticky, gooey fingers and foul tasting charred puffed-up sugar sponges. Some things never change. My kid looked at me and, being the logical one in the family, asked why we did that as kids. The word fun just didn't have any chance of contextual use whatsoever so I made up a story about a fictional fairy whose weakness was the smell of roasted marshmallows wafting through the forest, and she'd grant a wish to anyone who charmed her with it. His response was, of course, that he was not aware that the process of jet-puffing was discovered until much later. Foiled again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
