About Guitar Jamz And Getaways
My name is Tony Cull and I am the founder of Guitar Jamz And Getaways. There are two things that I really love to do on this planet. One is to play guitar and the other is to get away from it all! Get away from the noise, the phone calls, the chores, the stress of everyday life and retreat into nature. Over the last few years I have co-organised retreats with my partner all over Scotland and abroad in stunning cottages and villas.
I teach guitar full time and I feel blessed to be able to make a living doing what I love. The problem a lot of people have when learning is finding the time to practice, especially if they have a busy work schedule, kids or both! In the time we are living in we are constantly faced with distractions from our phones, television and the hectic rat race that can stop us from really pursuing our goals and dreams.
The idea of a guitar getaway is to provide a beautiful, tranquil space absent of distraction for people to enjoy learning to play songs in a comfortable and encouraging environment. The retreats are ideal for those looking to connect with like-minded people and to find the time to really focus on learning to play whilst having as much fun as possible. Lots of food is always on hand and excellently prepared by our chef. After booking you don't need to think of any additional expenses other than travel however we normally have car pooling options.
Each retreat has a program consisting of different guitar workshops depending on the theme of the retreat. This could be Blues, Country or beginners for example. Most retreats are based in secluded locations in Scotland but not too far from Glasgow and some will be based abroad in the Mediterranean.
All getaways are open to any level, whether you are a complete beginner looking to learn your first few songs or an expert looking to jam and help aspiring musicians.
What are you waiting for?

Do you want to experience playing with other musicians?
Would you like to learn how to improvise?
Would you like to meet and learn from other guitarists?
... Do you want to jam?
The Guitar Jam workshop is designed to build confidence for aspiring musicians when working and playing with other people. Many of you are now teaching yourselves how to play instruments via Youtube and online sources which is fantastic! The resources available to us these days are phenomenal with countless online videos and websites showing you how to play your instrument.
However, there is one MAJOR kink when solely learning this way. You get no interaction with other people. That's where we come in! In our Guitar Jam workshop we will teach you key skills that will help you excel as a guitarist and prepare you for the outside world.
Here are the subjects we will cover :
Timing Listening Working together Playing in key Improvisation Creativity Song writing Productivity We will also jam along to popular songs and create one of our own
This is a great opportunity for aspiring guitarists at beginner to intermediate level to enjoy the exhilarating experience of playing with other people without any pressure. It will be so much fun! We would love to have you there with us so if you fancy it please book below or call 0141 328 2707

My take on 'House Of The Rising Sun'
The window blows open a few seconds in which kinda freaks me out!
Still a few spots left for our jam workshop in 2 weeks :)
What an amazing time away. We had such great laughs in such great company, and we went for walks and we had great sessions of table tennis (in the one with Tony I came off victorious), and of course we learned guitar tricks and received tips, spent time jamming by the roaring fire, enjoying oh sweet music! It was so great to play together with others, and even if I was a total beginner Tony made me feel included, and I felt I could actually play an important part in the songs performed :) Loved it and would recommend anyone to join the retreats!! Connections, memories and music made are priceless!! <3 <3 <3
Well, I had perhaps the most enjoyable weekend since my recent visit to Dijon. Our hosts, Tony, Agnieszka and Lucy gave me such a warm welcome when I arrived. I thoroughly enjoyed their company along with my other 'housemates'.
I loved taking part in each jam session, contributing a small but very important part to each session :)
The evening games were so entertaining. Don't think I have had so much fun in a long time. Sore with laughter sometimes. You know who you are !
Hope to see you all in February.
Top teacher. Great communicator, definately worth getting lessons from Tony!
Tony is a great teacher - no hesitation recommending him. If he can teach this old dog he can teach anyone.!
Recently attended the beginners guitar getaway. I really enjoyed the weekend. Made some new friends who I hope to see on future getaways. Tony done well keeping everyone involved. He found a way to keep the sessions interesting and challenging for everyone. I left feeling I had made progress with my guitar skills. The location was very nice and the accomodation was of a high standard. The meditation session with Aga added a nice twist to the weekend. It was an experience with lots of laughter and relaxation. I will definitely be booking up for future trips.
Really enjoying my lessons and learning loads each week! Tony is so patient and encouraging. Highly recommended and excellent value for money :-)
My 9 year old son loves his lessons with Tony it's good to see him have a little more confidence playing for others and loves playing his own song that Tony is helping him with.
My 9 year old son just had his first guitar lesson and he loved it. Tony made the lesson fun for my son. I really enjoyed watching him have a great time learning.x
My 9 year old daughter just had her first lesson with Tony! I expected her to be a little shy but he made her very comfortable and they were jamming away by the end. She had a great time and is already excited about her next lesson! Very patient and understanding with her which was brilliant, let her go her own pace and was very encouraging even when she didn't get it quite right! Can't recommend Tony enough ����
Just had my first guitar retreat away!!! What an amazing weekend am a total beginner and loved every minute, Tony, Aga and Lucy did an amazing job looking after every one, would recommend these weekends weather you a beginner or advance guitar player either way you will enjoy, can’t wait to go on the next one. Met some great people hope to jam again with ���
Thanks for some great memories
I started just before Christmas he is very understanding he learns you at your pace till you are happy best thing I did was to book lessons with Tony if you are thinking of taking up the guitar you will not go wrong with Tony.
