  • Guitar Week, July 30-August 5, 2017 7:30- 8:30 Breakfast
    28 30-Ags5 Guitar Week is one of the finest programs of its kind in the world, staffed by some of the best players and instructors available. We have been awarded both the Bronze Medal and Silver Medal Player’s Choice Award for Music Camps by the readers of Acoustic Guitar magazine, and this high standard of quality is what keeps guitarists from across the globe coming back year after year. Many of our instructors are Grammy-winners and all are world-renowned in their individual styles of guitar playing and instruction. In addition to classes in acoustic guitar, we offer three classes in ukulele ranging from beginning to advanced. Our seventeen world-class instructors will be teaching acoustic guitar classes in jazz, swing, Celtic, bluegrass, ragtime, blues, Appalachian and of course, contemporary fingerstyle. We will offer beginning level classes to accommodate those students who aren’t quite ready for the intermediate-to-advanced levels, as well as a few classes suggested for more advanced players, so please read the descriptions carefully before you decide where you belong – we want everyone to get the most out of their week. For most of our classes it is recommended that students should play at an intermediate level: students should have mastered beginning skills, be able to tune their instruments, keep time, play scales cleanly, and know how to play a few tunes with confidence. For those who want some extra practice time at an easy pace, there will be a play-along session after lunch each day in the Pavilion, hosted by Al Petteway and Scott Ainslie.

    28 24-30 Guitar Week is one of the finest programs of its kind in the world, staffed by some of the best players and instructors available. We have been awarded both the Bronze Medal and Silver Medal Player’s Choice Award for music camps by the readers of Acoustic Guitar magazine, and this high standard of quality is what keeps guitarists from across the globe coming back year after year. For the 25th Anniversary of the Swannanoa Gathering, it seemed fitting to present some of our favorite instructors from past years. Steve James and Robin Bullock will be back along with Al Petteway, the Guitar Week Coordinator. All three were instructors during the very first Guitar Week. Since then, we’ve expanded from five to a whopping seventeen instructors teaching everything from gypsy jazz to blues ukulele to acoustic funk. Brand-new to the staff this time is contemporary Italian guitarist Peppino D’Agostino. Back by popular demand, last year’s Guitar Week newcomer, Josh Goforth will be joining other all- time favorite instructors including Vicki Genfan, Greg Ruby, Sean McGowan, Steve Baughman, Gerald Ross, Del Rey, Muriel Anderson, Tony McManus, Pat Donohue, Sean McGowan, Scott Ainslie and Pete Kennedy. In addition to guitar classes, we will be offering four classes in ukulele ranging from beginning to advanced. Our world-class guitar instructors will be teaching flatpicking and fingerstyle classes in jazz, swing, Celtic, bluegrass, Appalachian, reggae, Brazilian, African, acoustic funk, blues and of course, contemporary fingerstyle for all skill levels. We will offer a variety of beginning level classes to accommodate those students who aren’t quite ready for the intermediate-to-advanced levels, as well as a few classes suggested for more advanced players, so please read the descriptions carefully before you decide where you belong – we want everyone to get the most out of their week.

  • 2 O O CATALO9 a Little Family Secret
    Acoustic Amplification 2 O O CATALO9 A little family secret Since it’s beginning, in the early 1980’s, Fishman has helped acoustic musicians achieve the truest sound possible whenever they plug in. In that time we have been awarded more than 30 patents. And won more awards for quality, design, performance and innovation than all of our competitors combined. Sure, our ongoing commitment and wide range of innovative products has helped our passionate little company grow to become the industry standard for acoustic amplification. And Fishman equipment is now used around the world. But that won’t change what got us here: always putting the needs of the acoustic musician first. But here’s the secret: Every artist who chooses Fishman does so without incentives other than a desire for the best possible sound. So, the loyalty from our extended family of players, technicians, repair professionals and instrument manufacturers is really a result of our loyalty toward them, as evidenced by our innovative, reliable products, over-the-top customer support, and unwavering goal of amplified acoustic excellence.
