Learn From the Stars

A few of acoustic music's best will showcase their talents and teach you how to play better through basic, intermediate or advanced instruction. It's all a part of the Acoustic Music Camp coming to Dallas. Whether you're looking to hone your skills on guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle or songwriting, it seems they may have something for everyone.

My personal excitement about this event comes from the fact that Terry Baucom will be on hand to teach some of his technique. I've been following him since the early days of Ricky Skaggs' Boone Creek band from the 70's. He's got an awesome style, one which I've stolen a couple of riffs from over the years.

Dallas own Brad Davis will be teaching guitar. He's probably one of the biggest secrets in acoustic music today. Brad is an awesome flatpicker with a great voice to boot, plus he's just a good guy.

The only drawback to the camp is the cost. It's $295 for three days. That seems a little expensive, especially for us hillbillies, but if you've got it I would imagine it would be money well spent.

Me? I'd love to go, but probably will be on the road or have other commitment. I'll know more as the date nears. Check out the website, or follow it from the Charley's Guitar Shop link.
