Join the Next Bootcamp (Academy Students only!)

“It was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.”

Every fall and spring, Academy students gather in Denver for an exclusive, in-person Bootcamp — a week of learning, performing, and connecting with musicians who share the same passion and drive.

Over four immersive days, we dive deep into:

  • Workshops & Masterclasses on theory, improvisation, and fretboard mastery

  • Live coaching sessions and personal feedback from Will

  • Group jams and band rehearsals

  • Live performances at local venues (including Dazzle and Red Rocks!)

  • Evenings of music, laughter, and community

Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced player, you’ll walk away not just a better guitarist, but part of a lifelong community.

 

“We became one cohesive group — supportive, inspiring, and full of joy. These friendships will continue virtually and in person as well.”
— Mark, Surgeon & Academy Student

The Bootcamp is the Heart of the Academy

The Will Metz Academy Bootcamp is where everything you’ve learned online comes to life — surrounded by people who truly get it.

You’ll experience firsthand the Academy’s unique blend of:

  • Structured guitar education — theory, rhythm, and fretboard fluency

  • Personal mentorship — direct guidance from Will and the team

  • Community connection — meaningful friendships that fuel motivation long after the event ends

“This program lit a flame — and Will keeps it alive through his support and the Academy community. Even when things get tough, you never feel alone.”
— Donald B., Academy Student
