Pat Metheny Summer Workshop

If you cannot make it to France this summer for Pierre Bensusan's guitar workshop at his country place, maybe Norwich Connecticut with 17-time Grammy winning jazz guitarist Pat Metheny is more doable.  This five-day Master Artist Workshop in August is a chance to study in an intimate setting with one of the greats.  Private concerts with Pat and special guests every evening will be among the perks.  An all-inclusive package at the Spa at Norwich Inn will only run you $4950.  Space is limited so sign up soon!

BTW, if you want to reproduce the sound Pat achieves above, you'll need a baritone guitar (tuning is down a fifth from a standard guitar).  On this particular song he is using an open A-D-G-C-E-A tuning and no doubt one of his three Manzer baritone guitars made by Canadian Luthier Linda Manzer.  Pat has been playing Manzer guitars for over 25 years.  One of the 30 Pat Methany Signature 6 Limited Edition Manzer guitars will set you back $32,000.  Paul Simon chose #10.  Happy picking.
