The festival aims to highlight the guitar's role in a wide range of musical genres worldwide, from classical and flamenco to blues, jazz, metal, and rock.

It provides an invaluable opportunity for attendees to witness musical masters showcase their playing techniques, reveal the secrets behind their craft, and share stories from their musical journeys. Above all, the foundation's goal is to mentor and inspire the next generation of musicians.
