Martin Taylor Guitar Retreat: New York 2015

Written by ArtistWorks

Martin Taylor has been hosting a series of guitar retreats, and the next one takes place in the Catskill Mountains in New York, July 13-17. Designed for players of all levels and styles, Martin's retreats are a great opportunity to get immersed in your guitar with other players in a beautiful surrounding. This year Martin is joined by a few guest instructors which include the guitarist Woody Mann and luthier Jim Cunningham. Some of the topics they'll be covering in workshops include fingerstyle, improv, composition and arranging - plus a lot more of course. 

These retreats are also where Martin is able to initiate conversations with guitarists from around the world and help them with their playing, which is great because they can continue that relationship through the power of Video Exchange® at ArtistWorks. Watch the video for a closer look at the retreat and what some of his students are saying about the experience. For more info visit martintaylorguitarretreats.com
