IT'S HERE!!
Dweezil Zappa presents
Dweezilla Music Boot Camp 2013
The Fourth Annual
Dweezilla Music Boot Camp
will take place Monday, July 1 – Friday, July 5, 2013
at Full Moon Resort!
2013 Dweezilla Counselors Just Announced! Click Here for more details!
In an effort to improve the learning experience and dig deeper, Dweezil has taken the student requests into consideration and created all new curriculum.
Dweezilla 2013 will be a guitar course only this year. It will be the most intense course to date including study groups divided into students of similar skill levels. The goal is to give all of the guitarists information specifically tailored for each skill level group in order to be more comprehensive. Dweezil will be teaching more and in smaller groups. Not only that, he has invited some special guitar friends to do some finger twisting teaching as well. There will be more focus on tone workshops and technique as well as theory and improvisational strategies. A planned guitar summit will be the culmination of the camp. Imagine an environment where even the teachers are excited to be there to learn from fellow guitarists. Stay tuned for the announcement about the special guest teachers!
Dweezilla will take place as part of Full Moon Resort’s Music Masters Camps in the heart of the “Forever Wild” Catskill Forest Preserve in Big Indian, New York. Camp registration begins at 3:00pm on Monday, July 1st. Following check in, all participants will be joined by the counselors for a meet and greet cocktail hour and gourmet dinner followed by a counselor-lead performance. Each of your unique days at Dweezilla with Dweezil and his select counselors of guitar virtuosos will include an in depth look into all aspects of guitar playing.
Family rates and private lessons are available.
Keeping true with Dweezilla’s motto- 2013 will prove to be another year to Learn and Destroy! This year, Dweezil has chosen to take particular focus on all things guitar; allowing each participant the opportunity to immerse themselves in a comprehensive look into every aspect of guitar playing. All classes and curriculum have been designed to enhance your skill level and improve your focus by providing a wide range of master classes available for all ages and skill levels. All classes are optional and open to everyone.
Among Dweezilla’s special guests, is a product specialist from Fractal Audio who will be on-hand to walk you through everything you need to know about building your own signature sound, leading discussions and answering all of your questions about the Axe-FX and your rig.
Live performances, intimate jam sessions, campfires and, of course, an inside look into Frank Zappa’s brilliant approach to music, his career and legacy are all aspects of your camp experience.
In addition to the gourmet meals, special guests and knowledge-quenching master classes, Dweezil has a special 4th of July celebration planned including fireworks! Bring your family, friends and band mates for the spectacular event!
As a participant at Dweezilla, you will find that by check out on Friday morning, you will leave with new found inspiration, techniques and a whole camp full of new band mates from across the globe.

Looking forward to Dweezilla this July--it sounds like it is going to be a wonderful learning experience.
Dweezil,
Thanks for your response & willingness to sign another guitar. Their is only one problem. W/out the venue hearing it directly from you or your staff, I will NOT be able to get in during sound check to give you guitar, nor will I be allowed to bring in into venue. I have no idea if & when you'll be playing near me, but to get a ticket & a ride to The Beacon would cost me 1K or so. That being out of my $ zone I'll have to wait to see if you'll be playing nearer this tour. I will then try to get a ticket & tell the venue you have OK'D me bring guitar. Someone will have to alert venue staff of this & what time (soundcheck or after) Either way, thanks alot for making my day with your response & just being so kind & caring. Be Well, Hope To See You In Pa or back at The Mayo (They will most certainly NOT allow me to come in early or with guitar without something from you. Send my regards to Thomas, hope to see him as well.
Be Well, Bob
Again, thanks
The prospect of the diversity of educators is most welcomed news. In some social circles there are those of the opinion that Dweezil Zappa is over-consumed with only being submersed in the evolution of ZPZ. Even if there was any credibility to that, of which I am not of the opinion, sometimes the tone of some of the so-called Zappa fans exhibit is far too repulsive for my taste.This direction is but an example of the diversity of projects Dweezil is involved with.
While so much can be said about the positive effect that Zappa Plays Zappa has on a portion of society-at-large, it is clear that this years Dweezila event shows a diversity of where Dweezil's energy is directed. It was unfortunate that some not so nice economy things got in the way of some of DZs orchestral work getting a premier last year, but in speaking of 2012, the Experience Hendrix tour was an example of stretching beyond ZPZ.. 2013 has some interesting things presenting themselves....... Great News!
Just an update as to my thoughts for the camp this year... The player/teachers I am in contact with are Tom Quayle, Chris Buono, David Walliman, Oz Noy, and Wayne Krantz. All player/teachers who I believe offer exceptional insight and diversity in their approach. I am looking to create a comprehensive modern guitar course for Dweezilla. I have not finalized anything but am looking at all options. We will also feature an in depth Fractal Audio Axe Effects seminar with Matt Picone.
Hi Joey,
This year it will be a comprehensive guitar course. If we change formats for next year I will certainly keep you posted. Your son played very well in Boise! Hope he had a good time.
