Left and right hand techniques will be covered in depth. We will build stamina, speed, and fingerboard knowledge through intense workouts.

Daily schedule:

1 hour sessions, 45 minutes playing and 15 minutes break. Each hour we change topics. Every 2nd or 3rd session will be taught by a specific instructor focusing on his specific area of expertise and choice of material.

We will use two rooms, so we will do entire group sessions and then split up.
