JOIN ME FOR A RARE US GUITAR RETREAT THIS AUGUST

Reserve Your Place Now

Dear friends,

I’m excited to share something very special with you.

For the first time ever, I’ll be hosting my Residential Guitar Seminar in the United States — a 3-day immersive retreat in The Twin Cities, MN from August 1–3, 2025.

Over the years, guitarists from around the world have travelled to my home in France to attend these retreats. Now, I’m bringing that same intimate, in-depth experience to the “Twin Cities” — and I’d love for you to join me.

What to Expect

Over three full days, we’ll explore:

  • Right and left-hand technique
  • Tone, phrasing, rhythm & musical expression
  • Harmony, voicings & fretboard fluency
  • Creative tools like harmonics, tapping, ornamentation & more

The format is small and focused (no more than 19 players), and it’s open to intermediate and advanced guitarists — all styles and tunings are welcome (not just DADGAD!).

Two Ways to Attend

Tuition Only – $575
Includes all 18 hours of group lessons (perfect for locals or those arranging their own stay).

Tuition + Hotel Package – $975
Includes:

  • Full tuition
  • 2 nights hotel (Aug 1 & 2) at the Holiday Inn
  • Breakfast each morning

The venue is just 15 minutes from MSP Airport with free parking, dining options, and a quiet, welcoming environment.

Why Come?

  • It’s a rare chance to study together on US soil
  • You’ll get personal guidance and real time to explore your playing
  • You’ll leave refreshed, inspired, and full of ideas

If you’ve ever thought about attending one of my retreats but haven’t made it to France—this is your moment.

(There are only 19 spots, and they tend to go quickly)

I’d love to see you there.

Warmly,
Pierre
