Welcome to Guitar Breaks
|
It's a guitar thing....At Guitar Breaks we deliver bespoke guitar workshops with pro players in beautiful and funky surroundings...and online!
This is the chance to relax and fully immerse yourself in days of discussion, experimentation, collaborative learning and discovery. We’ll play, we’ll jam, we’ll hang out. We’ll talk a lot about gear and tone while developing discussions around anything from classic chord progressions to licks and phrases, soloing, rhythm, harmony… and plenty more besides. You’ll go home refreshed, inspired and brimming with new ideas and insight for the next level on your tonal and playing journey. Be inspired... join a community of like-minded guitarists! |

Joey Landreth @ Guitar Breaks - Oct '21 - Timeless Tuscan Twang!
|
We were absolutely bloody delighted to spend a stunning week with the shockingly talented Joey Landreth at Guitar Breaks in Italy in October. And we were also happy as happy can be to be back at the Villa Pia hotel. Add to that the smoky good looks and serious chops of Mike Goodman and it's reasonable to suggest we had the ingredients for a classic week.
I think it is fair to say that Joey is a monster player, singer and songwriter. A true exponent of emotive guitar with a tone to make grown guitarists weep. We spent the week diving deep into chordal and melody structure and effective rhythm playing. Playing for the song, open tunings, slide guitar, gear, tone..... you name it, Joey covered it! Moments to remember? There were too many, but the Thursday night gig is up there with the best. Dan from Dan Drive giving away one of his amazing pedals. Carlo from LAA Custom taking us through the tonal landscape of boost!! All in all, an experience to be remembered and savoured. Thanks Joey! |

Josh Smith @ Guitar Breaks - Nov '21 - what an experience!
|
We were super-excited to get the Josh Smith workshop back on, after too long! And it really did not disappoint. 4 days of intense guitar playing with one of the world's greatest electric guitar players, plus we had some special guests dropping by to say 'hello', including Daniel Steinhart, Paul Stacey and the legend that is Pete Friesen.
Held at the Bush hotel in the centre of the classic English market town of Farnham, we experienced the full Josh Smith repertoire and got some sneak previews of his new tunes. Can't say too much here, but.....wowzers! Farnham also happens to be the home of Guitar Village, one of Europe's greatest specialist guitar stores. We visited, we checked out guitars, we drank a beer (or two) and Josh fell for a certain guitar. As I write this, their relationship is still at a distance, but who knows what will happen......watch this space! |

what our guests say:
"Thank you again for everything. It's no easy task to organise that many people, let alone musicians for 5 days! Was honestly one of the best times, if not the best I've ever had." |
"Just wanted to let you know how much I really enjoyed the guitar breaks weekend. Thanks for all your hard work in bringing all of this together and meeting mine and no doubt everyone else expectations. I fully expect to attend the next one in whatever form it takes. Please keep me informed of any developments as I’d hate to miss out ;-)" |
