Retreat starts in...
THE MARTIN TAYLOR GUITAR RETREAT is a three-day, roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work bootcamp that focuses on building your skills and knowledge as a guitarist.
You'll get help with technique, jam with fellow musicians and get focused time to really take your guitar playing to the next level. In other words, you'll come with a desire to improve, but you'll leave with a level of fluidity and self-expression on the guitar that you never dreamed possible!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q.When should I plan to be there?
A.Since all three days will be full-day trainings, and we typically go over time with jamming and Q&A’s, we highly recommend that you fly in the day before and fly out the day after so that you don’t miss anything.
-
Q.When will we receive the daily schedule?
A.We will email you the daily schedule six weeks in advance of the Retreat start date. On that schedule we’ll have details of the topics that Martin will teach plus info on any surprise guest instructors!
-
Q.Why is there a $97 deposit required?
A.Seats are limited and if you do not show up, you’re taking a spot from someone else that could have been there. When you show up to the event, your deposit will be refunded. If you do not show up to the event, your deposit will be forfeited due to expense incurred we still had to cover.
-
Q.What if I paid the deposit and now cannot attend?
A.You can get the deposit refunded up until 6/15/16. After that, we cannot refund your deposit because we will not have time to refill your seat.
