TSU Guitar Summit 2012

The 2012 Guitar Summit will be bigger and better than ever before!

We've added an additional day of classes plus a kickoff concert/workshop on Thursday evening, June 28th. 


Thursday - Sunday • June 28-July 1, 2012

Tennessee State University, Nashville

For all guitarists: beginners, experienced players looking for something new, writers, pickers, and artists.



The TSU Guitar Summit is a weekend-long interactive musical immersion for ALL guitarists, from aspiring pickers and artists
to the next number-one hit songwriter. Multiple instructors will offer simultaneous courses on topics from acoustic accompaniment styles to fretboard harmony, from country hotlicks to jazz improvisation. Our instructors & guests are lifelong pros with well-established recording and performing careers, hit songs, and years of professional teaching to their credit.

The Guitar Summit is unlike any other existing guitar festival, bringing Nashville's creative, collaborative culture to the workshop environment. Several instructors may work together on a class, creating a dynamic environment that brings every student into the conversation. Some instructors will be available throughout the weekend for small group or individual breakout sessions.

Each day will also feature special clinics with guest Visiting Artists.
Join in on a rare opportunity to talk guitar and music with a group of Music City's best in a relaxed, intimate setting.

ENROLLMENT LIMITED TO 40 STUDENTS....SIGN UP NOW!
