Beppe Gambetta guitar workshop in Slovenia, 26 July-2 Aug. 2015

For guitarists who'd like a continental-holiday-cum-learning-experience in spectacular scenery: Italian guitar wizard Beppe Gambetta (who has toured here more than once) will hold his 23rd International Acoustic Guitar Workshop from 26 July to 2 August 2015 at the Hotel Slatnar, Ambroz pod Krvavcem, Slovenia. The teachers will be Beppe himself (flatpicking) and Tim Williams (USA) (fingerpicking blues, ragtime, and more).

Ambroz pod Krvavcem is at c.1080 m altitude, about 35 km north of Ljubljana (which has an international airport) and approximately 45 km south of Klagenfurt, Austria. It looks out over the Alps, the Karawanks mountains, and the cities of Kranj and Ljubljana. The Hotel Slatnar is a small mountain hotel; the dormitory-style rooms contain 2-4 beds with showers on each floor.
