Wold's largest guitar lesson set at Red Rocks

Contributed by: Laura McGaughey   on 7/10/2008

MAKE HISTORY THIS SUMMER!

Guitar players of all ages and skill levels are invited to make history with Swallow Hill, the Denver Film Society and Red Rocks Amphitheatre as they attempt to break the current record for the World's Largest Guitar Lesson on Monday, August 18 at Red Rocks. Registration will begin at 5:30 p.m. with the lesson starting at 7 p.m. This event is part of the Denver Film Society's annual Film on the Rocks series and is the last for summer 2008, preceding the film, Zoolander.

The current world record is held by the Old Town School in Chicago with 1,377 participants in 2007. Red Rocks holds approximately 8,400 people. In order to be counted in the Guinness World Book Record, all participants must register and bring a guitar to the lesson.

Pre-registration is now available at www.swallowhillmusic.org and is strongly encouraged. Pre-registrants will also be entered in a contest to win free airline tickets from Southwest Airlines and high-end Epiphone guitars (made by Gibson).

All participants are required to check-in the day of the event at any of the three entrances to Red Rocks Amphitheatre with a photo ID and their guitar in hand. Guitars will not be available for rent or sale at Red Rocks; recommended vendors from whom participants can buy or rent in advance are the Denver Folklore Center, the Old Towne Pickin' Parlor and Acoustic Music Revival.

Numerous Swallow Hill faculty members and other Colorado musicians will be on hand to help those in the crowd during the lesson and a lead musician will be on stage, as well as a projection screen, to offer instruction. After the lesson there will be an open jam led by the Colorado All-Stars Band before screening of Zoolander begins.

More details about the lesson are at www.swallowhillmusic.org. Get free admission to the World's Largest Guitar Lesson when you are one of the first 200 people to register or renew a Swallow Hill membership at www.swallowhillmusic.org or by calling (303) 777-1003 x2. Film on the Rocks tickets are also available in advance at any ticketswest.com, King Soopers or by calling (866) 464-2626.
