The Robert Ross Band
Bootleg Hollow Blues Retreat 
I'm thrilled to say that Jon Luk's First Annual Bootleg Hollow Blues Retreat in the Catskills was a great success.  The five musicians who participated in the workshops and the jam sessions clearly stated their appreciation. It was also a terrific experience for me as both teacher and participant. I'm sure Jon felt the same way. 
The general topics covered in the three workshops were Chicago blues guitar, slide guitar, and jazzing up your blues. We covered chords, the pentatonic scale, a little basic theory, turnarounds, and much more. I think the 3 workshops and the jamming must have added up to about 8 hours. We covered a great swath of what playing guitar is all about. It'll take years to really digest all we touched upon. 
We''ll do it again next year. You in??
