    More Infos

    This masterclass is intended for experienced Guitarists with at least 5-6 years of playing experience. Basic knowledge on harmonics and Jazz are a great plus, but no nessesity.

    The masterclass is definately not recommended for beginners of guitar, as many play techniques are beeing transmitted in short time, which already need a good playing experience. Real beginners of guitar may contact me for personal guitar lessons as well here.

    Course material will be handed out to the participants on start of the masterclass. Within the course we make 2 short breaks of around 15 min. each on a.m. and p.m.
    As well as a one hours break for lunch where all participants are invited to take a collective lunch in a nearby cantina or restaurant of choice.

    At the end of the course day we will held a short Q+A-session to clear up all left over questions of contents of the day. After that a short Jam-Session with all participants and the “songs of the day” take place as final of the day.
