Win Peppino's Guitar!
Godin Guitars is Canada's largest --and most popular-- guitar manufacturer. They proudly produce a wide variety of quality instruments, often considered as some of the best 'bang for the buck' values in the industry.
Perhaps the best known brand in the Godin family is Seagull Guitars. The Crown Jewel of the Seagull brand is the Peppino D'Agostino Signature Model. Crafted to Peppino's exacting standards and specifications, the Peppino D'Agostino Signature Model is truly a special instrument.
Now is your chance to own one of these magnificent guitars, from Peppino's own personal collection. Tickets are $20 each, contact me at nhbosoxfan@yahoo.com to get yours!
What to Expect During the TMAC weekend:
All registered attendees should arrive at my home on Saturday morning (August 1st) any time after 9am to check in. Directions and GPS info will be provided to aid in navigating to my house.
At 9:30 we'll all gather together for introductions, followed by a quick safety and housekeeping briefing. Next, we'll break into Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced groups. We rely on the individual attendees to sort of 'self-assess' which group might be the best fit, but those choices are not hard and fast, and can be changed at any time to better serve the needs of each guitarist.
From there, we'll break into the respective groups and proceed to the appropriate instruction area. The morning sessions should start at 10am sharp, and run until noon, at which time we will break for a catered lunch and a bit of socializing.
As a very special added attraction, Stephen Bennett will provide a demonstration of slide techniques during our lunch break, open to anyone who wishes to listen in and observe.
At 1:30pm the afternoon sessions will start. Each group will proceed to their earlier station, but the instructors will rotate to a new group. We'll break again at 3:30, at which time the participants are encouraged to join in with others for anything guitar and music related.
At 6pm Peter, Stephen, and Peppino will perform in a concert which is open to the public at the Randolph Town Hall, just a few minutes down the road from my house. Admission to the performance is included in the registered participants package, and each registered participant is welcomed to bring guests to the concert at no charge. At the conclusion of the concert we will raffle off the Seagull Guitars' Peppino D'Agostino Signature Model from Peppino's PERSONAL COLLECTION!!!
On Sunday, all guitarists will once again arrive at my house any time after 9am. The morning session starts at 10am and will follow Saturday's format, in that guitarists will proceed to their station while and the instructors rotate once more to the next group.
We'll break again for a catered lunch at noon. Guests will have some free time to practice, socialize, walk to a nearby waterfall, visit the beauty of the river just a 5 minute walk from my home, or just relax for a bit before the afternoon session.
The Sunday afternoon session is a full group gathering in which the instructors form a panel, taking questions, perhaps following up on earlier points and demonstrations, and offering feedback to anyone who would like to perform for the group as a whole.
Sounds like an awesome, fun guitar weekend, doesn't it? Well, that's because it is!
