Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week

Imagine, 6 Days Of Super Intense Guitar Soloing And
Creativity Training That Will Totally Transform Your Guitar Playing, Soloing And Creativity Forever... Training So Powerful, Innovative And Intense I’ll ONLY Share It With You Face-To-Face

You, me, 4 other super elite master guitar trainers and a very limited number of other extremely motivated guitar players locked in a room, 8 HOURS a day… EVERY DAY… for SIX FULL DAYS… No distractions. No B.S.

Yes, you can (and YOU WILL) really transform your guitar playing, soloing, phrasing, improvising and creativity in just 6 days – with the right training, the right coaching and the right guidance every single step of the way.

Fact is, you can sit at home and practice all you want, but until and unless you learn (and actually do) the right things in every aspect of your guitar practicing, you’re just wasting a lot of time. Sure, a lot of practice time on your own may help you, but getting the right training now will be the difference between getting a little better over time and getting MASSIVELY better in less than a week. What I’m going to give you in 6 days, you will take with you for the rest of your life and every time you pick up your guitar you’ll know exactly what, when, why and how to do things… compare that with whatever you are struggling to do now on your own.

Listen, I know you struggle when you sit at home and practice alone without anyone to coach you - we both know you wouldn’t be reading this page, if that wasn’t true.

But it’s NOT your fault! You’ve had guitar teachers teach you things, and you’ve probably learned a lot about music and guitar playing. However, you’ve been missing something … something critically important… You’ve never yet been actually coached and trained… all of that is about to change for you.

Learning about something by reading about it or watching someone else do it is ok, but you already know the very best, fastest, effective, efficient and longest lasting way to master anything is to be directly coached and trained until you are so confident in what you are doing that you do it perfectly every single time.

And it’s probably more true when it comes to learning to master guitar soloing, phrasing, improvising and creativity than it is for anything else.

"I like learning from Tom Hess because he just covers everything, things that you just don't think of. I've been playing 20 years and I just feel like I'm now, after this week, starting to really get how to practice properly and get the most of it every minute that you put into this."

Tom Hess is, in my opinion, the best guitar teacher on the planet. It wouldn't be anyone else out there that can train you like he can.

"I already take Correspondence Guitar Lessons with Tom Hess and that already has advanced my playing ten-fold, if not more, it was a no-brainer it was going to work."

After the sessions I go back to my room and play and it's like WOW, I can't believe I figured that out and improved so quick. It definitely works.

It's a great thing and I think everyone should experience it at least once.

~ Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week ~

June 17-22, 2019

WHOM THIS EVENT IS FOR

This event is for you if:

You want to massively boost your creativity on guitar (your phrasing, your improvisation, your guitar soloing, etc.)
You want to be trained by world class experts
You want to go home from this event being able to play things that would have been impossible to play when you arrived
You want to know exactly what to do to become a great guitar player AND you want us to coach you through that exact process 8 hours a day, for 6 straight days. We’re going to stand next to you and coach you through the notes you play.
Skill level: beginner through pro level

This is sure, you will leave this event as a completely different (that means better… no, that means WAY BETTER) guitar player than when you walk in the door on the first day of the event.

How can I be sure? Because I did this in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 at several very similar events for dozens of people and had a 100% success rate. Not 90%, not 95%, not 99.9%... ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!!! Plus, if my innovative teaching, coaching and training methods didn’t work, I would not have been able to teach, coach and mentor this many guitar students to become the advanced and successful guitar players they are today.

Check out what musicians from all over the world said about similar events held in 2012, 2013 and 2014.

What Will This One-Of-A-Kind, Full Metal Jacket, Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Event Do For You?

Here Is What You Get

Direct Face-To Face Individual Attention from me and at least six other super elite master guitar trainers so that you get frequent, personal, targeted and specific guidance to uncover and then destroy the limitations that are holding you back. And next, to replace those limitations with my innovative, powerful and PROVEN strategies, training and items you need to massively boost your guitar creativity, phrasing, improvisation and soloing.
A Complete, Accurate And Expert Assessment of your ‘real’ current skill level, strengths, weaknesses and creativity. Next, you’ll get a thorough and accurate analysis of your current creativity practice skills so we can begin to overhaul it with massively effective creativity training.
A Personal And Specific Diagnosis Of Your Guitar Creativity Related Playing Problems AND The Solutions To Overcome Them. Often, you may not really know what your problem is (or why you have it), you just know you ‘can't’ do something or you know something you are doing is not working for you. Perhaps you assume the problem is one thing, but in reality the ‘real cause’ of the problem is something else (this is extremely common which is one of the reasons why you’ve been struggling). Once you have the ‘real’ diagnosis and the ‘real’ solutions to fix them you will then receive the following...
BURNED IN Training And Creativity Practicing Strategies. You will NOT forget what you learn here. How can I be sure? Because I won’t teach you something and then let you go home and struggle to remember and implement it alone at home. Instead, you will learn something, then you and I will BURN IT INTO your mind and hands so that you can remember exactly what and how to do things FOREVER! Fact is, if you forget something once you get home, then what you learned is useless to you. We are not going to let that happen!
The Process Of Achieving Absolute Creativity Guitar Mastery. As stated earlier, this event is not simply about learning ‘stuff’, it is about the entire process of mastering both new things and all the older things you learned before but have never mastered. Most guitar players will never experience what it’s like to truly master something. At this event, YOU WILL! This will be a key part of your training here… You will learn how to focus your mind and ears to become in sync with your hands (this is something 99.9% of guitar players never learn – and never do… At this event, YOU WILL!)
A Massive Increase In How Fast You Will Improve BOTH Your Overall Musical Creativity And Your Guitar Playing In General not just while you are at this event but for years afterwards when you apply the training to your daily practice and guitar playing when you go home. The best part is that implementing the type of training you get here will be so much easier (and really the only way) once you’ve done it for 6 full days with me.
Make Big Breakthroughs In Your Guitar Soloing, Phrasing, Improvisation And Creativity. Because developing and mastering all the creative aspects of your guitar playing is a huge part of this event, you will make major breakthroughs in your guitar phrasing, improvisation, soloing and creativity. Again, not only at the event, but even further afterwards as the training is implemented into your playing and practicing over the long term.
A Lifetime Of Creativity Guitar Training Know-How. It’s simply not good enough to come to this event and ‘only’ learn how to train with the specific things I give you to train with. No, what you want and need is to have the ability to correctly train for a lifetime no matter what you want to learn and create now or years into the future. In other words, I’m going to show you exactly how to master all aspects of your musical creativity you may face at any point in your future.
12 Weeks Of Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Pre-Training Before The Event Even Begins. Because the ass kicking of this Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week is so intense (8 hours of training per day, every day for 6 straight days!), you will need to train in advance to prepare yourself for this event. This is similar to how a runner would train to race in a marathon. The runner doesn’t run a mile a day and then run a 26.2 mile marathon (the runner would never finish the marathon). The same principal applies here. You will need to go on a highly specialized 12-week guitar training schedule to prepare for this intense guitar training of 8 hours per day every day once you arrive here. I’m going to give you the guitar training schedule 12 weeks in advance of the Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week so that you will get the absolute most from this week! You will be practicing 1 - 2.5 hours per day during those 12 weeks in a very focused and special way to get you ready (this will not be your normal practice routine). As a result of this highly specialized pre-training, you’ll become a better guitar player even before the event begins!
Ultra Secret Stuff From Me. People often ask me if there are some ultra secret things to master guitar playing and creativity. The answer is actually ‘yes’. If that is true (and it is) then why haven’t I shared all of that within my online guitar lessons? Great question! Here’s the answer. My online guitar lessons are very powerful and are proven to bring guitar students great results (as you already have seen lots of proof of). As great as they are, there is something unique and special about me training you live in person every day for 6 full days that simply cannot be captured fully in any other way. Even if you took private lessons with me an hour per week in person, it’s just not the same. Sure I can tell you or show you what to do, but I cannot be with you ALL DAY, EVERY DAY to really train you to actually implement these secrets.. the ONLY way it can be done is through super intense, no bullshit, extremely focused, LIVE, face-to-face, proven guitar training from my brain to yours. Look, if there was any other way, I would have packaged this in a box and sold it to the tens of thousands of people who visit my website every week, but there just isn’t any other way… and so I created this event as the one and only solution to deliver these secrets to you, implant them into your brain and hands and then BURN THEM IN, so you have them FOREVER!
White Hot Motivation. After attending this event your motivation to learn, practice and master whatever you want should be white hot. You already know how much being highly motivated in general will help you in both your guitar playing and also your life in general.
An Experience Of A Lifetime… You (nor anyone you have ever met) know or have even heard about or experienced anything like this before... because there has never been another event like this unless you were at my previous Total Guitar Mastery Training Week and Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week or Fretboard Domination Bootcamp events! If you were there, then you DO KNOW how FREAKING AWESOME this is going to be for you!!!

Plus… You Get These HUGE Bonuses For Free To Maximize Your Results…

... Before you get too excited and book your airplane tickets and hotel room, this event is not for everyone. You may or may not qualify to attend. Please read carefully….

The Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week is designed for people who want to totally transform their guitar playing BIG TIME.

Obviously, this event is NOT cheap, and for 2 very good reasons:

People who pay little or nothing for something naturally don’t really fully value it and do not fully learn nor implement what they have learned. That’s simply human nature for the majority of people. I guarantee that if I charged you $100, $200 or $500 for this event, you simply would not maximize your time here and soak up the full benefits of the event. But if the fee is $1,997 you will be on the edge of your seat, paying attention and soaking up every single aspect of this event! The end result is you’ll get 10x more out of this than if it was free or the fee was low. I’m giving 100% at the event, so it only makes sense for you to come if you are going to actually get 100% of what I’m giving to you.
Events that are too low in price always attract a lot more people, but some of those people aren’t serious. My goal for you is not to pack you into a huge room with 500 other people. My goal for you is to totally transform yourself as a guitar player… a $200 event simply won’t do that if you are surrounded by other people who really aren’t ready to be there and distract me, you and a limited number of people like you from making the most of the Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week.

You already know that there is nothing else like this anywhere else in the world, and you also know by now if this event is right for you or not.

… but just in case there is any chance you're not 100% sure yet, consider this:

Guaranteed Implementation – How many times have you been taught something, read something or watched something about how to improve as a guitar player and then did NOT implement it? If you are like most people, the answer is “A LOT”.

When you come to this event, YOU WILL IMPLEMENT EVERYTHING, because that’s what we’re going to be doing every day of the event. This is not about learning what to do, nor even how to do something, this is going to be about learning what to do, how to do it and then we are going to actually correctly implement it.
Massive Access to me and my team – This is where I’m going to be right in the room with you, not simply ‘teaching you stuff’, but literally sitting right in front of you and coaching you on EXACTLY what to do every single step of the way and then training with you as many times as it takes until you ‘get it’. Then we are going to ‘BURN IT IN’ your mind so that when you go home you can create/practice/play things perfectly every single time… once you have these unique skills, there will be NO STOPPING YOU!!
This event is the only place on Earth that you can attend and get this one-of-a-kind, super intense and powerful guitar soloing and creativity training that will totally transform your guitar playing and creativity forever.
Best investment of your time and money. Even though it’s not possible to get this training anywhere else, what would it cost you if you could get it? 48 hours of training x $50 an hour from some mediocre guitar teacher = $2400 (note: a mediocre guitar teacher wouldn’t have a clue how to do anything like this type of elite guitar training anyway). Or you could pay me for private 1-1 time (48 hours x $250 an hour for private live guitar lessons = $12,000). But let’s forget about money and just talk about your time…

If you do not attend the Ultimat Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week, how long will it take you to train yourself? As mentioned above, what I’m going to give you in 6 days, you will take with you for the rest of your life - and every time you pick up your guitar, you’ll know exactly what, when, why and how to do things… compare that with whatever you are struggling to do now on your own.
Ironclad 100% Money back guarantee! You will be very happy you attended – guaranteed! Don’t make your decision now. Instead, register, attend the event, test my strategies. And if you aren’t 100% convinced this is not one of the very best investments you have ever made in your musical life … and you are not 100% satisfied by the end of the first day of the event… I’ll gladly refund 100% of your tuition! Please note that refunds can only be given under this condition.

The Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week... it’s been awesome...

I didn’t know what to expect, but it opened totally my mind to different things, a different view, something I would never think about it, approaches I would never think about it. All ways to be creative that I would never think about... So it literally opened the view for the future, for my future as a guitarist... I’m very grateful to be here, surrounded by like-minded people and by a person like Tom Hess. So I’m very happy about it. I’m inspired to see other guitarists with different genres playing and training all together. It’s awesome.

Damiano Messia, Rome, Italy

By attending Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week, my guitar playing has improved a lot.

Mostly in like phrasing and being able to express the emotions I want to express through the guitar because that’s the ultimate goal of like guitar playing for me at least.

... It’s really inspiring to be around all the other crazy good students that have different ideas and different approaches for how to approach a certain topic. And it’s very like cool to see when someone plays either better or just a beginner who is trying his bets just to become good, that’s inspiring to me.

And the thing I love about Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week is we all sit in a room and there’s this great energy of like everybody learning at the same time. It’s okay to make mistakes and it’s very inspiring.

If I could sign up for the Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week now I would...

Johan Tillgren, Stockholm, Sweden

From attending the ultimate creativity and guitar solo mastery training week my playing has improved tenfold.

When I first heard about the ultimate creativity and guitar solo mastery training week, I knew it was going to be great because I’ve come to it before the first year that Tom Hess Music Corporation ran it. And it completely changed my guitar playing. It filled in the gaps that I knew that I had, and some that I didn’t even know existed. And every year when Tom Hess Music Corporation creates new events or does old events that they’ve done before, they get better and better.

...My understanding of the fretboard, understanding the modes, the arpeggios and how they work theoretically, as well as being able to play them on guitar and solo with them and make some music versus just going up and down the scales and doing basically sounding like most guitar players, where they can only play the basic scales the basic ways, and so it has completely just revolutionized how I play and how I think of the guitar and music in general. So, it’s been great.

Preston Howard, Salt Lake City, Utah

I knew that creativity training week was going to be awesome because I attended the same event a couple of years back. And when I went into that event, that was the first event that I attended and it was just mind-blowing.

I really enjoyed myself at that event and I really felt like I took a huge leap forward in my own guitar playing. And I know Tom Hess since many years back, and I always know that he over-delivers at every single event and every single product that he does. So, for me, it was, it was a no-brainer to come to the event

Gottfrid Waxin, Sundsvall, Sweden

When I first heard about the Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week, I want to expand my guitar playing ability, I wanted to take it to another level.

Then I talked to my current guitar instructor, who actually is an instructor under Tom Hess... talking with him and what this event was all about, cause he had attended similar events in the past, I felt it could really help me improve my guitar playing. And it definitely has.

I found that the people that Tom Hess surrounds himself with are very, have high abilities to train other people guitar. They're very friendly and willing to share their knowledge. Tom Hess is a very personable person and talking with him, I've had that opportunity too. He’s willing to share his knowledge and skills and that’s why I like, and have enjoyed learning from Tom Hess.

I like the deep dive sessions we have in the training where we go into different aspects of guitar playing like arpeggiating the notes, how to get out of your head, get out of your head into the guitar, that breakout session to me was really interesting, and how to take a guitar lick and really show emotion with it… I didn’t realize how much emotion you could get out of a guitar until this event.

I can take what I’ve learned at the ultimate guitar creativity and guitar soloing mastery training week and really expand my guitar playing. I’ve been playing about 2 and a half years. And I just learned a tremendous amount here at this event.

Donald Donovan, Plymouth, Massachusetts

When I first heard about the Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week event, I decided to invest in it because I knew that it was going to be awesome. Why? Because I’ve been to other events that Tom Hess and THMC have held and they were awesome.

This event is one of the, one of the areas that guitar players struggle with the most. Creativity is one of the things that people think, just doesn’t happen. It’s something that you have to have… you know, be born with. So, coming to something like this, I knew would help me just become so much more creative. And help me learn how to do it for myself, as well as people that I teach. So, that’s why I did it.

I learned a huge amount of things that I didn’t even know about creativity, but soloing first of all. The next thing is I was then shown exactly how to apply it and how to learn it, so that I can now do it at home and just continue to get better. So, I definitely improved while I was here... My ability to... solo and be creative immediately expanded just from the sessions here. And I know that as I go home and I continue to apply the very specific processes and information that I was given, and I was shown how to do that at home, I know that that will continue to improve when I get home.

I’ve received massive value from this event already. Creativity is one of those things that just doesn’t… you just don't get it and all of a sudden you know everything. And it’s one of those things that you have to develop over time. So, I learned a lot this week and I’m going to go home and practice and get better. But I’m always going to want to get better than I am now. And whatever level I’m at when this event happens again, I’ll still not know everything about creativity, I still won’t be able to apply everything. And there’s things that I’m sure Tom Hess has up his sleeve that he’ll share then that I still don't know. I mean there’s so much more that can be done with this event, as far as me learning that, I mean, I’ll be back. I just want to get my skills as high as I can, and this is part of that.

Maurice Richard, Halifax, Canada

I knew the event was going to be awesome due to the fact that it was 6 days, 10 hours guitar playing a day, with 5 world-class trainers. Now that I’ve completed the event, my guitar playing has become fivefold better than what it was when I came here to begin with.

I've never experienced such freedom in creativity after completing the event. My skills just playing that long for a day has made it all worth while. The valuable information I’ve got in terms of creativity for my own playing is priceless.

The inspiration is also invaluable. I mean, you can’t… it’s hard to buy the experience of having all of those, all of those people around you who all want to succeed in the same depth that you do. You know, the probability and the logistics of trying to do that on your own would be phenomenal, so the fact that Tom Hess is able to bring everyone together. The environment is bliss. You know, it’s one of the best communities I think I’ve ever been involved in, in terms of guitar playing. I made some excellent friends here, some jamming buddies for life. You know, and even though we come from different parts of the world, we can still keep in touch and we can still trade progress and tips and tricks that we pick up and you know… Yeah that real sense of community I think is what really strengthens, not only the content and the attention you get from Tom Hess and his world-class trainers, should they be involved as well but the community of people who are hungry to learn and succeed on guitar like you are or like I am. Yeah, it’s an invaluable part, aspect of the event as well.

Hell yeah, I’d definitely come to it again in the future. For the simple fact that what I’ve managed to learn now at this point in my guitar playing, I can only imagine that further down the track, as I become a better guitar player that all of this stuff will apply at a much higher level. And the more that I compound that playing progress and the learning at those point in time, or points in time, it just you know the value of it is astronomical.

Simon Edgell, Melbourne, Australia

Tom Hess events never disappoint, they over-deliver. So, when I was offered the ticket or the chance to buy the ticket for the ultimate creativity and guitar soloing mastery, again it was a no-brainer, it was just click buy.

I didn’t even read the sales page, I know, you know if you do it’s very powerful and people may think oh it’s exaggerated, he can’t do all that and the fact is he can. So you know from past experience that Tom Hess events way over-deliver. Way, I mean, I could leave right now and have got all my money’s worth. So, the pre-training was fantastic. You already become a better guitar player just by doing that. And by the time you get here, you know, you’ve got all these ideas and they really flesh those ideas out and train you and train you and train you and really drill it in. So, I have no doubt that when I leave I'm going to be a better guitar player., cause I am already. So, it was just… if you’ve been to one Tom Hess event, you know that they're everything that he promises, and so far this has been everything promised. So, yeah it is a great experience.

Because he is able to cut through things that other guitar teachers would miss or what the student says is their problem, he is able to look and immediately see the problem and give you very practical very easy to implement steps that fix your playing. I've had other guitar teachers and none of them posses that ability. And he is really able to focus, I mean just see things that you would never think to look at. Whether it’s your picking technique, or you know left hand fingering, rhythm whatever it is. He can look at it, and you know you need to do this and do this and do this and that’s going to be better. So, you do those things and it’s better. And when he tells you, you do it and it works. So, that’s why I like training. There's no wasted time. He can immediately identify the problem and immediately fix it, so within 10 minutes you're already better. It’s great. It’s great.

Going into this event, I feel like one of my biggest struggles was my improvising, and that’s one of the things I was really, really excited about for this event, because I knew that this was geared towards that exact thing and I’m seeing results…. I was seeing results probably within the first day you know…

The thing I really liked about the Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week was that it’s not just geared toward being able to play fast things, you know with technical proficiency. It teaches you to use the skills you already have, whether you're a beginner or whether you're already highly advanced and be able to apply it to whatever it is you're playing in your own band’s music, jamming to music that maybe you're not used to playing, being able to use the skills that you have to be able to, you know, solo and improvise confidently, you know, in any musical situation.

I think that is probably one of the most important things as a musician to be able to learn. You know, obviously everyone is going to have their own styles, but it’s great to be able to adapt to different styles so that you can not only progress as a guitar player but you can start to open your mind to how many different things you can do as a guitar player rather than just go on through the same metal songs, the same blues licks all the time, you know, you can start to see how one instrument can be applied to so many different contexts and that’s one of the most valuable things about this event. It helps you understand and actually do that.

Ryan Mueller, Toronto, Ontario

My guitar ability has improved astronomically in the short amount of time that I’ve been at the Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week.

I’ve been taking a few of Tom Hess’s online correspondence programs and they’ve been absolutely life-changing for me. Huge fan of the programs that he runs and this is my second event. I heard about this event at the previous event and I got so much value for that, that it was a no-brainer to come here.

... I can’t express how much improvement I’ve made in such a short time. It really is mind-blowing. It’s just, I’ve been getting concepts that I never ever think about, and just by thinking about them and changing what I do makes a huge impact on your playing... So my playing has improved drastically and the value that I’ve gotten out of this compared to what I’ve paid is ridiculous. I’m a much better player after this event and I’m thankful to Tom Hess for running it.

... I am going to be coming to every single ultimate creativity and guitar soloing mastering event in the future or ever. I’ve got so much out of this and I know it’s just going to get better from here.

Michael Gumley, Melbourne, Australia

The one thing I am really lacking in my guitar playing is the ability to solo and improvise freely. So I knew that the Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Training Week was something that I wanted to attend.

The biggest improvement I noticed in one week was just the ability to start expressing myself with different phrasing elements. I was pretty narrow when it came to phrasing. I was basically phrasing the same things, the same way for like 10 years. So, with all the different ideas I got over the training week, I think I really expanded on my phrasing ideas and the ability to express myself. So, I’m really looking forward to the next record with my band to upgrade the solos and everything.

It’s amazing. I will definitely come to ultimate creativity training again in the future.

Jure Golobic, Ljubljana, Slovenia

At first, my parents were really skeptical about it, and I was too because it’s really expensive. But I just know that Tom Hess had such a great reputation and success rate that I just saved up over the year.

And even like signing up alone, just that gave me motivation to step up my game. So even before the pre-training started, like my progress was already skyrocketing because I was motivated to come here.

Honestly... Tom Hess and all the other teachers, they just have this way of explaining things that seem… Well, when they explain it, it just becomes obvious. Like they all have, they all teach in their own way. But the way, their concepts, I never would have thought about if it weren’t for them. And in these past 3 days they’ve opened up so many new doors and opportunities for me to continue learning. And I don't know, honestly just some of the break out courses their own have been like worth my whole paycheck here. It just opened so many avenues and freed my mind on like where I can go with soloing. So it’s been awesome.

Everyone is so nice and down-to-earth here. And it’s really awesome. I thought I was going to come in being really nervous, because I know a lot of guys here are just at such a high level. But everyone is so down-to-earth and nice and just welcoming so it’s been all-around just awesome.

Cory Howard, Severna Park, Maryland

When I first heard about the Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week, I knew it was going to be awesome because I've been to other Tom Hess events. So, I knew the quality of the content was going to be high.

I knew the quality of the instructors was going to be very high. I knew that the attention that I would get, would be personal and it would be tailored to me and my needs. And I knew also that I would be hanging out with a whole bunch of other people that were also, again serious about what they're doing, totally into this event as I was. So, just great camaraderie, great instruction, great atmosphere.

... My guitar playing has really improved greatly. I had huge gaps actually in my playing even though I've played a long time. And I consider myself a fairly accomplished guitar player. There were gaps that really, really became apparent just through the pre-training even, when I started to look through the pre-training for this event. I realized right away that I was going to have some challenges and that was great, that’s exactly what I wanted. I wanted to fill in those gaps that I has in my playing.

I don't think there’s a player out there that could not come to this event. I don't care how good they are. If they come here, they're going to find improvement. They’re going to find new ways to think about what they're already doing. They're going to find that the gaps that they have in their playing will be filled in. Their music knowledge will increase. Their guitar knowledge will increase greatly.

Craig Tuttle, Monroe, Wisconsin

Yeah when I first saw the ultimate creativity and solo mastery training week, I didn’t really know what I was getting into to, but I really wanted to go to an event where I could actually like meet Tom Hess and all his other trainers. And I was on my computer you know like, watching the time go down because it runs out quick. So, I was on my computer, got on, made it out here and yeah, it’s been awesome.

Today is for me, day 5 and I can’t even explain how much better of a guitar player I am already, you know. The first 3 days I did the Fretboard Domination Bootcamp and it was awesome because I got to understand things that I've been not really sure of and they just, you know, they just have some way of like giving you the information, the way where you pick it up quick and now I know exactly what I need to practice to improve whatever I’m doing. That was just the fretboard bootcamp. Now we’ve been doing the creativity and solo mastering training week and it’s crazy. I’m a new guitar player. And I've 2 more days to go. And I can’t wait to do it again. I want to do it again. I want to come back.

Yeah, I got to say that coming to this event, I got to be honest I was a little bit nervous. Just because I didn’t really know what to expect and I especially… knowing that I’m not… like the, I mean I know how to play some stuff, but I’m not very advanced, you know so I was afraid of if it was… if I was going to be… if people that are better than me were going to be like oh he’s not that good of a guitar player, but everyone here is so nice it’s insane. Like everyone is here for the same reason so like... First day, you know everyone is talking to each other… there’s something I was wondering about, the partner next to me is like oh yeah, you know it’s like this and you know even I was helping someone at some point and it’s just this like, I don't know just this crowd of people with the same interests helping each other and learning from the greatest so yeah, I don't know what else to say.

Mikkel Bang, Oslo, Norway

My guitar playing has improved in all of the ways that it can. I got blisters, oh well not blisters, but you know my fingers are tender for the first time since I was like 12. My fingers hurt from all the bending and vibratoing I’ve been doing and it’s awesome.

Honestly, there’s so many great players here. You know, you see their pictures on the forum, and it’s like oh I’ve seen that guy’s picture before, and then you see them play like oh man, I just didn’t expect, I should have expected, but I didn’t expect the level of talent to be here and it really just kind of pushed me to up my game and really just work hard. So, I’m going to go back up to my room and I’m going to grind through a bunch of stuff I got from Tom Hess today and some of the other mentors and I’m going to come in tomorrow just a little bit better. Try to get a little bit more of an edge on the guys tomorrow.

I’m a big fan of accountability and it almost sounded like there’s a shared accountability of yeah, it’s my job to do the work, but they're also going to be there pushing me and making sure that I do the work with them the way that they think it should be done. And that’s nice to know. To have someone saying this is how you do it. This is how you get better. Very helpful.

Yeah the stuff that I think is fucking awesome is Tommaso and Mike Walsh, I mean all the guys, Charlie, Mike, they're all awesome, but yeah the trainers I think are really fucking cool.

My only regret with the Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week would be that I didn’t buy all the packages. That when I first signed up for it, I thought well this much, that seems like about all I can afford and that seems good for this year… I wish I had done it all. I wish I had just gone for it, but I wasn’t a member of the guitar teachers inner circle at the time. So, the mastermind thing didn’t really seem appropriate to me at the time. How wrong I was. But it was fantastic. I will absolutely be here next year. I’ll be here for all the things. The VIP thing and I’ll be here for 2 and a half weeks or whatever the process is so I’ll be back.

Eric Dieter, Lancaster, Pennsylvania

I knew this event was going to be awesome because every Tom Hess event is awesome. So, I’ve made a personal commitment to attend all of them in the future. Almost without question where they are.

So after attending the Ultimate Creativity And Guitar Soloing Mastery Training Week with Tom Hess, my ability to create phrases has improved a lot, my ornamentation has improved, my knowledge of options with ornamentation has improved vastly. I've been trained by incredible musicians on how to actually implement these ideas into my playing. My note selection has improved. My knowledge of note function has improved. My ability to choose scales over chords has improved. All... every area of my playing has improved. Even my technique has improved, and that wasn’t the purpose of the event.

It’s really inspiring to be around such insane guitar players as I met here. That’s got to be some of the best guitar players in the world. These guys can play like no one’s business. Being around them is awesome. It’s very humbling and keeps me on my toes. Keeps me wanting to push forward… stops me from getting complacent in my own playing. Encourages me to push to push to push to the next level so I can keep up with them and jam with them, and reach their level as well.

Sam Russell, London, United Kingdom

I’ve been in the ultimate creativity and guitar solo week, it’s just been for 2 days now… I already feel great improvement, because you know, basically we practice for 8 hours for 2 days so it’s 16 hours of practice for me.

And every single session was amazing because we had to train concepts that I never trained usually before, and I can see every single one of them can have an impact on many levels of you know creativity. Like improvisation to technique to visualization to music theory knowledge and to ear training… It’s kind of weird that just one single like session could have like all those elements, and the trainers were amazing. I really feel progress already.

Being around the other students of Tom Hess is very inspiring and motivating, because all those guys wait a whole year to come here and they're all about music all about learning, and all those guys are really helpful and positive. And it’s partly because that is like Tom Hess’s philosophy you know. You will not be a student of mine if you are being negative, if your being like very bad mindset, you got to be positive, you got to be like helpful to other people… So, people are like that here. And they are just fun. It’s all about hanging out and music. It’s awesome.
