"This is my first Guitar Retreat with Martin Taylor and it was an awesome experience. Highly recommended." - Lisa, Brooklyn

"I came to the Retreat by the urging of my husband and it was really, really great. I went back to the basics...and got a lot of new ideas forpracticing. Thank you Martin.""- Avis, Maryland

"I would highly recommend the Martin Taylor Guitar Retreat. It was a fabulous experience. Martin and the teaching staff were very, very gracious and really ensured that every masterclass session was run well and the content was perfect for the class. The students themselves became really close friends and it was almost like a family atmosphere after the first night. I had the pleasure on the first night to sit on the stage and do a duet with Martin, which was terrific. Without a doubt the time spent this week was not only enjoyable and something I'll remember for all my life, but will absolutely improve my playing and confidence in playing."- Ted, New Jersey

"I came up here with minimal experience but a love of jazz. I was hoping I could gather something from this experience and I gatheredmore than I could ever imagine. The way that Martin broke it down you don't have to come here with a degree. You'll leave feeling you have a much better understanding of jazz. I would recommend it even if you have minimal experience. You'll have a fantastic time."- David, Louisiana

"This was a great guitar camp. I think that the most striking thing is the generosity of spirit from Martin and the other teachers."- Tony, Indianapolis

"The Retreat was fantastic. It was truly a great experience and triggered a lot of ideas. I would highly recommend the Retreat to any aspiring guitar player of any style.""- Steve, Ontario

"I particularly enjoyed breaking out of chord shapes. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that is interested in jazz music or fingerstyle in general.""- Andrew, Australia

"It's just been amazingly inspiring; the learning, the openess, the ability to ask Martin questions. It's been wonderful how we've been able to share knowledge with all the students here and play together. It's been a fantastic experience and a wonderful time."- Jeremy, Edmonton
