Guitar Breaks Avaliações 

I recently attended the Matt Schofield masterclass week with Guitar Breaks in Lippiano, Italy – and what an incredible experience it was. This was actually my fourth time joining a Guitar Breaks week in Lippiano over the years, and every single one has been truly fantastic.

Matt is not only a world-class guitarist and blues artist – he’s also an extremely generous and thoughtful teacher. His ability to explain tone, touch, phrasing and feel is second to none, and playing alongside him on stage was a dream come true.

The week was beautifully organised by Ian Edwards, whose warm presence and attention to detail create the perfect environment for learning, connecting and having fun. The setting in the Umbrian hills is simply stunning, the accommodation and food are great – but above all, it’s the people who make this such a special experience. Spending a week surrounded by fellow guitar nerds from all over Europe (and beyond), sharing stories, licks, and laughter – it doesn’t get much better than that.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves the guitar – regardless of level. I’m already looking forward to my fifth trip.

My recent attendance at Guitar Breaks with Matt Schofield in Italy was the experience of a lifetime. As well as a week of expert tuition and playing with my guitar hero it was far more. The opportunity to mix with 20 likeminded guitarists from a variety of countries with ages ranging from 20s to 70s was priceless. The organisation and accommodation was excellent from start to finish and I made many new friends.

No coincidence me participating in the Blues Camp in Lippiano, Italy, for the second time. The Blues Camp was with Matt Schofield and Co-Trainer Mike Goodman. Both of them absolute world class musicians granting us a view into their genius. Always approachable during the entire week and always warm welcoming each and every question anyone would have. For the fellow participants I can say: lovely people I've met and I felt as like in a big famly. Haven't laughed so much in a workshop before - over and beyond this week was unique. Thank you so much Ian - so much !!!!!!

I've been to a week long Blues Camp in Lippiano Italy with Matt Schofield and Mike Goodman. As a big fan of Matt my expectations were already fulfilled when I met him and discovered he's a very nice and approachable man. Also Mike is none the less approachable and very nice. As an intermediate player, for me it wasn't about learning something new, but rather how to dive deeper into technique and the overall approach of the Blues. And i really got everything I could ask for: answers to specific questions, new perspectives on how to look at the quitar and music in general, hanging out with my hero and other music nerds like me, listening to great stories and - the highlight of the week - standing on the same stage and playing together with Matt Scofield - a dream come true. Anyone who loves the guitar will profit from Guitar Breaks - it doesn't matter if you're a beginner, intermediate or advanced. Higly recommended!

Fabulous week of music and fun in a stunningly beautiful location in the hills of Central Italy. Matt and Mike shared their unique professional insights, guitars were played, new friendships were formed and drinks were had in the sun. Haven’t laughed that much in a while. (Lippiano Blues Camp)

The solo weekend was my first Guitar Breaks event and it won't be my last. Relaxed and friendly, lots of participation, and a few inspiring approaches to soloing discussed and examined in detail. Great fun and very motivating. Thanks.

Once again a great group of people with a common focus. A relaxed atmosphere but delivering a high level of achievement. Can't wait for the next one.

I’ve been to several of their Jam Camps and every single time I’ve been made to feel completely welcome and I’ve walked away with loads of new skills to implement into my playing. I love how there is zero judgement of anybody’s playing ability and that everyone helps each other. Ian, Peter and Kevin all make sure you have the best experience you can with a guitar in your hands 🎸
Cheers!

A fantastic experience! My first Guitar Breaks course and very worthwhile. Well organised, great instruction and a great social atmosphere.

The Guitarbreaks crew put a lot of effort into making the Jeff McErlain/Aynsley Lister event a good time. Really great to have a live playing opportunity with proper backing band as well.

This is the second one of their events I have done and I would do more.

It’s about 5 years since I first encountered Guitar Breaks at a three day workshop in Brighton with Chris Buck. It was so good, I’ve been to nearly everything since! The monthly Jam Camps with Pete Friesen are a particular favourite, and this weekend with Jeff McErlaine and Aynsley Lister was another superb event.

3 days of playing and learning guitar from masters of technique and the blues. Enjoyed meeting other like minded individuals.

The course was engaging, fun and informative, delivered by super talented musicians. Really enjoyed it.

Very well organised enent, excellent tuition from Jeff McErlain.
