Guitar Heroes In Bath
18th February 2006

Bailbrook House
Bailbrook House, Batheaston, Avon

GuitarBreak.com, purveyors of weekend guitar tuition packages, are in Bath next month (18th & 19th March 2006) with an intensive two-day workout with some of the UK's finest guitar teachers.

Held at the beautiful Bailbrook House on the edge of Batheaston, Avon & Somerset (click here for a map) nr Bath, this weekend is for intermediate level blues-rockers who need a burst of inspiration to take their playing up to the next level. So budding Claptons, Knopflers and Hendrixes take note.

Tutors for the weekend are: Neville Marten (editor of Future Publishing's Bath-based Guitar Techniques magazine and ex-editor of Guitarist), and Jason Sidwell (senior music editor of all Future's UK guitar titles including Total Guitar). Special guest tutor is Dave Kilminster , lecturer at the Academy Of Contemporay Music in Guildford, Guitar Techniques contributor and guitarist with '70s rock keyboard legend Keith Emerson.

Neville Marten said: "There are many guitarists of all ages whose playing needs a boost of inspiration to spur them on to the next level. GuitarBreak weekends home in on each player's needs providing targeted, masterclass-style tuition in the most relaxed environment imaginable. We guarantee you'll be a better player at the end of it!

Bath's GuitarBreak Weekend is 18th and 19th March. Day courses and full residential weekend places are available, prices start from £149.00. To learn more about GuitarBreak and to book yourself a place at Bailbrook House, visit www.guitarbreak.com or call 0845 458 7372.
