Anybody here ever gone to the National Guitar Workshop or know anyone who has? It's a one week intensive guitar workshop held in various cities across the country during the summer. This year both Satriani and Vai are scheduled guest artists for the Los Angeles workshop July 7th -12th. It costs about $850 (including room and board). I'm seriously considering going because of Satriani and Vai. But I'm a little concerned about shelling out that kind of money for two reasons. One, both Satch and Vai are listed as guest artists, "schedule permitting." And if they do show up, it doesn't say how much time they're there or if they will be teaching or just performing or what. Anybody know anything about the level of participation of guest artists at these workshops?

(BTW, Eric Johnson will be at the one in Austin TX and Marty Friedman will be at the one in Sarasota, FL)

i wish i lived in texas and florida......... ERIC JOHNSON IS THE MAN!... and marty is like... JASONS OTHER HALF
