Discount Offered for Montana Guitar Workshop With Pat Metheny, Larry Carlton, Alex De Grassi and Scott Tennant

Workshop Discount Starting April 16th

Beginning Friday April 16th through Sunday May 2nd, we are offering a $300.00 discount for the Montana Guitar Workshop at the Flathead Lake Lodge. (Please note that there will be no larger discount offered at any time in the future)

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. We have received questions from several individuals who want to participate in more then one of the workshops and are having trouble deciding which to chose. Everyone will have good exposure to all genres. Regardless of which workshop you participate in, all of the guest artists will be giving one of the evening performances/workshops for all participants. There will also be the opportunity to make arrangements with teachers for a private lesson. In addition, much of the knowledge and skills that will be taught in each workshop will have application across genres.

2. We have received questions from people who are concerned that the level of workshop instruction may be beyond their playing abilities. Some feel a little intimidated by the faculty. We want to assure you that the workshops will be appropriate for anyone who has an interest in improving their guitar playing. All of the workshops will be personalized, comfortable and non-competitive. We chose our faculty very carefully, with a key being their love of and ability to teach individuals across the entire playing spectrum. For true beginners, Doug Smith will be teaching and he has enjoyed working with hundreds of adult beginners over many years. Players from intermediate to advanced will receive personalized instruction that addresses their individual interests and needs. All will enjoy the interaction and comraderie with faculty and fellow participants, be inspired and leave with a solid approach to taking their playing to the next levels.

3. We have received questions about hiking, fishing, horseback riding, visiting Glacier Park and other area activities. We are putting together information on all of the various options for participants and will assist with arrangements as desired. The schedule provides flexibility in the afternoon for enjoyment of the mountains, lakes, rivers, galleries, etc. There will also be a variety of activity choices in the mornings for family members of workshop participants.

House Band for Workshops and Jamming
