is a fun, intimate get-together with Don and a few other people from all over the map who want to gain insight into fingerstyle guitar and musicianship.

This year Don will host the Guitar Weekend in his adopted hometown of Windsor, Nova Scotia, in the beautiful Annapolis Valley, just in time for the fall colours.
Windsor is approximately 45 minutes from downtown Halifax, and about 40 minutes from Halifax Stanfield International Airport (Airport code YHZ).

The total price for everything is $825 US, or approximately $1150 Canadian. You can sign up immediately by clicking on the button below or on THIS LINK!

The Don Ross Guitar Weekend began in 1997
The Guitar Weekend grew out of Don’s desire to be more available as an in-person guitar teacher, while also juggling the reality of being an international touring musician. In the end, he found it easier to have a group of people come to him once or twice a year rather than trying to accommodate dozens of people with individual private lessons. The Weekends themselves have become very popular and are always a lovely time for everyone. Players of all levels of achievement can get something out of each Don Ross Guitar Weekend.
