Welcome to our second Acoustic Guitar Weekend in beautiful Yackandandah, north-central Victoria.

Many years ago, I was introduced to the great Jorma Kaukonen, appearing as a guest instructor at his amazing Fur Peace Ranch learning facility in southern Ohio. The format offered guitar students of all levels the opportunity to get away from it all, and focus on their craft, with the help and assistance of industry professionals. I loved the concept, and I returned on a regular basis to conduct my workshops over the next 17 years. The original Fur Peace Ranch is closed now, but I have had a hankering to do something similar here in Australia for a long time now.

With support and encouragement from our friends Craig & Sue Ramsay in the north-central Victorian village of Yackandandah, we went ahead and booked ourselves a weekend in May 2025 at Discovery Camp, just 6km from the township. We had such an amazing time, that we are keen to return!

So here it is!
