A unique musical learning experience hosted by the industry’s most talented and respected professionals.
Set in the Sierra Nevada mountains, the house is a short walk from the friendly village of Monachil, You are welcomed on arrival as if you are part of the family. Everything is in place to make you feel relaxed and open to learning as part of a small group.
We covered so much ground in the week. Expect to work hard on every aspect of your playing.
How and what you learn on this course cannot be picked up on internet sites or through tutor books. It is so much more than learning group pieces or doing theory exercises(although you will do this too).
I have never laughed so much whilst learning. So much fun in a ‘no pressure’ atmosphere.
The down time is also great. We visited the Alhambra, went on the guided mountain walk and of cause swam in the pool before enjoying a few drinks and a fantastic three course meal in the Spanish sunshine.
I am already looking for the dates to come out for next year!
I came away a better player and with some lovely likeminded friends too.
If you get a chance to go don’t think twice. You will love it. I have come away with more confidence (especially to improvise), a richer tone and a stack of techniques to make my playing sound more interesting and creative.
Thank you Snake and Johnny. A wonderful week.
Craig Davies.

Our host John Thirkell was very organized and communicated frequently & kindly all what was necessary. The food was very good, everything homemade Andalusian stuff in the evenings. I came to the wrong airport (Granada instead of Málaga) and the host picked me up extra! This was incredible kind. If not enough - after the course he also brought me to Granada to pick my rental car.
Additionally I booked not a single room, but I got one single room - because one guy canceled the course. The house is the private home of John himself - it lies in the mountains of Monachil, so you can concentrate really on the course instead of going out in the evenings 😉
About the course itself and the teacher: in the mornings we had group courses, Rob tried to figure out where we were standing - and the group was really very different concerning the personal levels. But he always found stuff where we all were interested in. In 3 afternoons we even got private lessons for everyone single! We could ask Rob everything we wanted. He is an incredible experienced, creative and tasteful guitarist. If I had questions he answered very competent - if not he figured interesting points out what we could do in the lesson. Furthermore we recorded lines on an easy chord progression, everyone got the chance to do that, Rob coached us to adapt our ideas so that they worked - a nice experience!
So a very big thank you 🙏🏻 to the host and to the teacher!

A seamless, inspiring, comfortable, fun and educational experience! I was in the guitar camp with Rob Harris and between himself, Johnny, the wonderful caterers and the fellow campers, I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
I'm a professional player and still learned a TON. The group lessons were dynamic and high energy, and the solo lessons allowed me to work on some elements of my own playing and mentality that were causing me problems.
The food was amazing!!
The house was amazing!!
It doesn't matter what level you're at, you can get so much out of it. Do yourself a favour.
