Cameron House, Loch Lomond, Scotland | June 2–7, 2025
NOT A FESTIVAL. NOT A COURSE. AN EXPERIENCE.
Imagine spending a week not only learning from the greatest guitar players alive — but living alongside them, sharing meals, swapping stories, and jamming late into the night in a luxury loch side hotel.
You won’t just watch legends play — you’ll get to know them. You’ll learn how they think, how they feel music, and what they’ve learned from a lifetime of playing at the top.
And this year, you’ll be part of something even more special…
