Mini Camp
A unique 5-hour preview of the Richard Gilewitz GillaCamp, designed to touch on some of the topics covered during the full GillaCamp that is held at various locations throughout the year. These MiniCamps are scheduled to take advantage of the opportunity to study with Richard when he is touring through your area. The MiniCamp is divided into 5 separate sessions of instruction and participants must sign up for the entire event as topics are built upon each other. Topics will include open tunings, slide, picking patterns, metronomes, and composition. Designed for all levels and ages of player, although some knowledge and skill in chord recognition, tuning your guitar, and tablature/music notation is helpful. Early reservation is suggested, as the MiniCamp fills up quickly. Starting times may vary. Check for dates and locations at richardgilewitz.com/gillacamp and richardgilewitz.com/calendar.
