What Participants Say

"Thanks for an unforgettable retreat. I have plenty to work with now — and I already feel like I've progressed, not just on guitar but musically. Can you play three chords? Then I recommend Homesick's Guitar Retreat. Professionally organised, good pedagogy, adapted to everyone's level, and we all had fun."

"När du vill hitta tillbaka till din gitarr, men ej stå på scen." "When you want to find your way back to your guitar — but not stand on stage."

"Magic. I haven't been this inspired to play in years. Open G has become my new favourite — and slide vibrato is now officially a work in progress. Deeply grateful."

"Back home from three intensive and utterly creative music days on the small island of Ven. Mac is a skilled 'professor' that listens to everyone and gives the right advice. Haven't had so much fun for a long time. I will surely return next summer." "Alltid lika kul att prova på saker man inte visste om att man kunde." — Always so fun to try things you didn't know you were capable of.

"Thanks for an amazing retreat that was even better this year. Next year is already booked — mentally. I got home with more than I expected. Pleasant bunch to hang out with. Great atmosphere."

"I felt truly welcomed and part of the group from day one — despite being newer than most. Before I'd even packed my guitar to leave, I'd already put next year's retreat in my calendar."

"The retreat was a prime summer experience for me. Interesting people, a very well prepared programme that fit me like a glove, and a credible leadership made the retreat a real hit!"

"A really rewarding retreat that went too fast again! Had I only had the pennies, I'd have come in August too!"

"The moment on Friday evening when you showed us how blues should be played — in that instant, the wingbeats of the American South in the 1930s and 40s were there. A wooden veranda and a man with a guitar, in black and white, like a film. Wonderful and so precise in your rhythmic feel. Brilliant, Mac!"

"Over my long life I have started — and given up — learning guitar several times. I'm pretty certain that had we not met, I wouldn't still be at it. Not that the world would suffer much from my not playing, but I sure would: it's just such an amazing pleasure; it would have been a real loss."

"Mac, I've had a few teachers in my day, but I have ALWAYS looked back on my times with you as the most fun and the most productive."
