Guitar Retreat

This weekend, I’m enjoying myself at a guitar retreat, where we focus on songwriting, performing, playing and general creativity. It is a great time, as I don’t often get the time to focus on guitar for this long a period of time. As you can imagine, I’m learning a lot and having a great time.

Another wonderful aspect of this retreat is its location, at Essex Woods Retreat & Meeting Center in Essex, MA. The center is set in the woods and we’re surrounded by Nature’s beauty and art, as the center used to be an artists’ center.

What you see here are a couple of the art works, from among the many great ones that are on the property.

    Love the art. What kind of guitar do you play? A retreat would be a great way to interact with others, sounds like fun. Enjoy?

      Thank you! I play mostly acoustic and have several Martins that I really like. My song selection tends to range from the folk to blues with classic rock songs and some current songs that I like. It was a great weekend, which also gave me some clear direction on what I need to work on to strengthen my skills.

        The guitar is a fun instrument! I hope he enjoys it as much as I do.
