After numerous dismissed opportunities to attend a GG event this upcoming fingerstyle retreat was persistently calling to me. So I have finally, and formally, registered to attend. I am following this retreat on FB and see that I may be attendee #13 of 20 available slots. Who else here is going? I am travelling (with some apprehension about transporting my guitar) from Boston and arriving Nashville Intl AP on Thursday 10/ 27 mid-morning. If others here are doing the same perhaps we can share a ride?
I've been a long-time, mostly lurking but frequent visitor to this site and "catch-up" watcher of the Weekly Lessons. My guitar playing journey dates back almost 12 years to the original L&M course. I made it to Lesson 17 several years back, although in hindsight I was probably pressing myself a bit too fast on some of the drills. Nonetheless I owe virtually all I know about playing to Steve and look very much forward to meeting and learning from him in person, and hopefully some of you as well. Regardless of these years spent learning, I have been a nearly complete chicken when it comes to playing with others, even in front of my wife, so I am also using this event to come out of my comfort zone and hopefully squelch (or at least reduce) my fears to play with others.
Others are welcome to reply here with any of their own plans/thoughts about this retreat. No pride in ownership from me!
