2007 RMA Summer Guitar Workshop Schedule - June 20-23        With Special Guest - Andy Timmons This year the RMA welcomes back one of its favorite artists, Andy Timmons. Also teaching this year alongside the RMA staff will be Chris Ptacek of the Plainfield School of Music in Illinois. Andy Timmons will join us for two of the four days of instruction. All participants in the workshop can sign up for the Andy Timmons Master Class on Saturday, in which students will have the chance to jam with Andy on stage and learn in a more intimate environment about his playing. If you choose the Days & Nights clinics package, that includes everything going on that week. That is the only all inclusive package offered. The Night Clinics package gives you the option of adding the Andy Timmons Master class. The Night Clinics are for every participant and many times include a live band to help demonstrate the subject matter. There are some last minute decisions being made about a couple of the classes (marked by TBA) and those will be posted as soon as they are confirmed.
