2005 RMA Summer Guitar Workshop Schedule Presents Freak-foot - June 15-18

To register for the workshop, please click HERE.

With Special Guests - Mattias IA Eklundh and Ron Thal.

This year, the RMA Summer Guitar Workshop changes things up once again. Freak-foot (Mattias IA Eklundh and Ron Thal) are both treating the students to a real opportunity by teaching during the entire RMA Summer Guitar Workshop. If you are familiar with their playing, then you certainly need no explanation as to how great this experience will be. If you haven't heard of them, you definitely will want to listen to some Bumblefoot and Freak Kitchen music. Amazing songwriting ability coupled with total control over their guitars have made them well known to guitarists around the globe.

In addition to our special guests, Chris Ptacek is coming back again from Chicago to teach alongside the RMA faculty. The RMA has also added the very versatile Greg Dalton, who will be teaching a jazz class.

This year's workshop includes afternoon classes and evening clinics. There is also a dinner break included and the meal will be provided on site. This gives everybody more of an opportunity to spend more time together and get to know the participants and teachers better.
