_______________

Skill Level: Established beginner through intermediate. Must be able to play basic rhythm chords along with slow songs and have a desire to begin soloing/improvising. If you feel super comfortable jamming with pros, this camp may be too basic for you. If you can't play simple chords with slow songs, this camp may be too advanced for you.

Atmosphere: This camp is an intimidation-free zone! No one will be put on the spot or made to feel dumb! Mess ups are encouraged, because that means you're trying. Believe me, I mess up all the time.

Preparation: The best way to prepare is play with my PickAlong lessons found HERE! You don't have to be able to play solos, but it's good to familiarize yourself with the melody and try to learn the chord progression. There is no stress, y'all. Just do what you can to prepare, and I'll take you from there!

The price is $899, which includes:

  • Small group sessions and personal attention!
  • 4 excellent meals! (Day 1 Supper. Day 2 Lunch & Supper. Day 3 Lunch.)
  • Super-duper bag of swag, plus a camp t-shirt

  • Lodging, which is amply available at nearby hotels and B&B's
