RETREAT HANDBOOK

www.martintaylor.com

Welcome to the Martin Taylor Guitar Retreat at Atrani, Italy.

This is the first time I've held a retreat at this beautiful location and I'm really excited about it. I'm sure we're all going to have a wonderful time here too playing music, learning together, and enjoying the wonderful setting.

I'm delighted to be joined on this retreat by one of my favorite guitarists Peppino D’Agostino. Peppino and I will be giving workshops both individually and together to give you an insight into our playing styles, and we will be available throughout the retreat to answer any guitar related questions you may have.

There will be lots of opportunities for us to hang out together, eat good food, and jam the night away during the retreat, so let's all have a great time sharing our passion for the guitar among friends.

Best Wishes

Martin

Dr Martin Taylor, MBE
