Guthrie is one of the most important guitarists on the scene today - and we're delighted to welcome him to the Guitar Getaways team. He'll be delivering a master-class as part of the Applied Guitar Getaway running from 10th to 16th August.

Guthrie first came to my attention when he won the 1993 Guitarist of the Year competition. He started playing guitar at the age of three, and appears never to have looked back since. He's currently a principal instructor at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music, gigs with ASIA, and performs regularly with his own band. You can read a more detailed biography of this super-hero of modern guitar playing at http://www.coffee-n-creme.com/artists_guthriegovan.html

Some Choice snippets of Guthrie's superb playing:

HIde and Seek - blues and beyond!

We are delighted to welcome Jim Faulkner to the teaching team of Guitar Getaways. Jim teaches at the prestigious Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA) of which Sir Paul McCartney is a leading patron. Jim is a highly experienced player and teacher who has worked as a pro-player across the UK and Europe.

We're always on the lookout for players that love teaching, or teachers that love playing.

Whether you would like to host a full weekend or week course, or just give a specialist master-class, we are interested to hear from you.
