Guitar Mastery Live opens at Nashville's Hutton Hotel on October 10 for three days of clinics, masterclasses and guided jam blocks. Organizers list Charlie Wallace, Eddie Haddad, Mike Baelde and Lexi Rose among the instructors, with Jared James Nichols also featured on the event page.
The schedule moves from foundation work on Saturday through practical application on Sunday and a final integration session on Monday. Player passes remain listed at $795, while the higher Inner Circle and artist tiers are sold out.
Why it matters
Unlike a passive gear show, the event is structured around direct playing feedback and practical group work, with a still-open entry tier immediately before the program begins.
