The best way to improve one’s talents and skills is to learn from the best, and this month’s Cardiff Guitar Festival provides the opportunity to watch and learn from some of Britain’s finest and accomplished players. A Festival Pass for advanced player provides access to three days of workshops, lunchtime concerts and a masterclass from both Graham Devine and Eden Shell, as well as entry to their concerts on Friday and Saturday. The festival also provides performance opportunities, guitar ensembles and improv workshops for budding young guitarists, with its U18 Festival Pass – activities designed to improve skill and confidence for young musicians. Sky Arts’ guitar star contestant Sam Rodwell also provides performances for this event. One-on-one tuition is available from a range of highly qualified musicians, making Cardiff Guitar Festival an unmissable opportunity to highlight or improve one’s knowledge of classical guitar.
