The AGS is a peak experience for aspiring jazz guitarists. The faculty is absolutely stellar—but also accessible and interactive. The vibe is supportive by both faculty and fellow student travelers. Kudos to Joel Harrison for his commitment to the music and promoting a culture of respect and inclusivity.

Composer, arranger, bandleader and founder of the Alternative Guitar Summit, an annual showcase of inventive players “cele- brating the road less taken on guitar,” Harrison also promotes the instrument through his an- nual Alt Summit Guitar Camp, a summer gath- ering for players of all levels that features mas- ter classes by notable guitarists at a 100-acre wilderness retreat in upstate New York.

It has been exciting to watch the Alt Guitar Summit emerge as one of the most interesting and distinguished forums for our instrument on the planet. The work that Joel has done with this festival, is a testament to the almost unlimited sonic dimensions the word “guitar” can invoke in the imagination of musicians and fans alike.
