Dom is a plectrum / hybrid Blues (and Country) guitarist who, along with Alan, his dad,
were determined to add fingerstyle and classical guitar playing to their skills...
Our final jam session had the olive trees swaying as we mixed some wonderful bottleneck guitar,
with Latin, Blues, Classical and Rock and Roll styles!

Chris has concentrated on the classical guitar for the last two years  -

For my Guitar Workshops he chose to immerse himself in my Jazzy techniques.

- Four string, root bass jazz chords and the patterns that I use with them...

- My auto bass ideas that are quickly learnt...

- The 12 bar blues played as a shuffle and with jazz chords and the fun of improvising over these...

- Plus some of my arrangements of songs with jazzy chords...

                                       AnneMarie came by bus from Holland, a delightful lady and keen guitarist.

                             Sue and I were able to show her many of the fabulous sights around here in rural Spain.

                          Plus an evening of village theatre in Alomartes, and a brilliant Hungarian folk group in Moclin!

             Matthew Jones, flies in from the Middle East (via Welsh Wales) to attend five days of intensive-

                 five hours per day Guitar Workshops... This setting was early morning on the cottage patio.

 

 

Vince Smith, a fine classical guitarist, came to stay for a week in late October,

while his family holidayed at a B&B just ten minutes up the mountain from us. 

I think his intention was simply to have peace and quiet in order to practice his repertoire,

though I was able to distract him from time to time with some of my novel techniques and studies!

At Marc and Mady's B&B he kindly gave us a mini recital before supper,

after which I played a few well known songs.
