International Guitar Camp at Kolkata 2008
- with Pt. Debashish Bhattacharya and Garry Lucas , Ken Wessel -
By bsumkol *
Hello friends!
We are trying to do something as a service to music and Guitar studies in eastern India. This December we are struggling
hard to bring Jerry Douglas, Pt. Debashish Bhattacharya, Ken Wessel and Gary Lucas for the first time in Kolkata and probably in
some other cities too in a concert format.
But in Kolkata we are planning to hold the first India International Guitar camp where these masters from different genres will be present.
We understand how difficult it is for us to go to the west for guitar studies, an instrument that we hold so close to our hearts. So this is an opportunity of a lifetime for all guitar lovers and serious players and wannabe guitarists of north east.
Please let as many people know about this event and we invite as many participants for this guitar camp.
Check some more details on

Just in case you would love to know that Pt. Debashish Bhattacharya's second home is in the North East as his wife is an Assamese.
More info on the Guitar camp:
Imagine- Pt. Debashish Bhattacharya, Jerry Douglas, Ken Wessel and Gary Lucas live on stage. Fusing styles from Indian classical Raga, Jazz, Blues Grass to Rock the concert promises an unforgettable experience. Guitar skills blend with philosophy, aesthetics, academic forte, passion for the first time in India.
The concert would also uphold the values of an International Guitar Camp to run simultaneously where national / international participants and some of the artists would share experience, playing tips, styles, information and jam together.
Scheduled in the first week of December in Kolkata the concert would be another ground breaking event in the country's musical history. Organisers are also on the lookout for possibilities of hosting the gala event in other cities like Mumbai and Delhi.
Our luminaries of International Guitar concert & Camp are Garry Lucas, Debashish Bhattacharya, and Ken Wessel. We are hopeful about the immensely popular Jerry Douglas who has primarily shown interest in visiting India and joining this event.
