the invitation

There is a moment every guitarist chases.

The chords stop being shapes. The notes stop being exercises. Something settles, and you are simply playing.

Guitar Getaway was created to bring you to that moment.

Three unhurried nights in Scotland. A small circle of fifteen. Tony guiding you through every note.

Two days of hands-on workshops, and evenings of dinner, whisky and music

day one: rhythm

Build the foundation that makes everything else sound good.

Rhythm

This is where great playing begins. Move through chord changes with ease, and bring rhythm and licks together in flow and in time.

Blues

Discover the blues rhythms that give a groove its heart, and learn how to hold your place in a jam with confidence.

Chords

Step beyond open chords. Learn new voicings that sound rich, full and polished, and begin to sound like a pro.

day two: lead

Take what you have built and let it sing.

Pentatonic

Master the scale every lead player relies on, and move across the whole neck with ease.

Dynamics

Play with feel and expression. Shape each note so it breathes, instead of sounding robotic.

Improvisation

Jam with your fellow guitarists, play by ear, and phrase melodically, the way a musician does when they speak through the instrument.

the evenings

When the workshops end, the music continues.

Your first evening opens with a welcome dinner, fine whisky and an open jam.

Before you arrive, you learn the songs in advance. Once we gather, you play them with Tony and the group.

Every evening, what you practiced during the day becomes a performance with Tony.

Still water. Open sky. A quiet that lets you hear yourself play.

Loch Lomond is the largest freshwater lake in Great Britain by surface area, and one of Scotland's most treasured landscapes.

Our lodge sits on the loch itself, a setting made for slowing down, and for playing.

Each room opens onto a balcony, a peaceful place to begin or end the day. Accommodation for all three nights is included.

your host: tony

Clear. Warm. Effortless to follow.

Tony has guided countless guitarists across the world, and the wins his students share are proof of a method that works. More than 150,000 people follow his teaching across social media.

He is the founder of the Guitar Dreams retreat, now hosted twice, and he brings that experience to every detail of Guitar Getaway.

Yet the real difference is the way Tony teaches. Every lesson is built to be easy to digest, and proven to work.

who it's for

You do not need to be advanced. You only need to want more from your playing.

Guitar Getaway is made for beginner to intermediate guitarists who want to sound better, play with confidence, and share a few days with people who love the instrument as much as they do.

how it works

Fifteen seats. Two simple steps.

Guitar Getaway is deliberately small, so that every guest receives Tony's full attention and the group feels like a circle of friends.
