 "If you've attended but never truly participated in the GFA Convention (or if you've never attended at all!), 2010 is the year to change that. After great success at the event in 2009, this year's GFA Convention once again welcomes all participants to perform in a Guitar Orchestra. In addition, we're continuing the ever-popular Private Lesson Package, open to the first 50 registrants who apply. These registrants will receive three private lessons with Convention artists or GFA Board Members for an additional fee of $120. Finally, we are pleased to unveil two inaugural events in Austin. The first-ever GFA Presenters' Congress will provide executive training programs for presenters and unprecedented networking opportunities for players and managements. Another newly-minted event will offer an affordable 3-day mini festival for middle-school and high-school guitar programs, forming a Youth Orchestra - an unforgettable large ensemble festival experience."

Note: there have been many recent changes to these web pages - the menu bars (top and bottom of the pages) should make locating  relevant pages easier.   I suggest/recommend and provide links to a number of editions of  guitar music (classical, fingerstyle, and other editions using standard notation as well as TAB) for guitarists at all levels - please note that I do not have all of these editions nor would I use all of them since I am primarily a classical guitarist.  The Christmas/holiday music page does contain a number of comments about difficulty levels and some favorite anthologies.  The composer specific pages provide a little background and in some cases, links to web sites with more information.
