Back by enormous popular demand at the 2010 Crossroads Guitar Festival will be THE GUITAR CENTER VILLAGE AT CROSSROADS. Appealing to musicians and fans alike, the Village will feature over twenty guitar-centric exhibitors, including the finest guitar manufacturers on the planet, as well as the best amplification and gear brands. In addition to hosting the Village, Guitar Center is bringing its infamous Legends Collection of famous vintage guitars, including Clapton’s awe-inspiring “Blackie” Fender Stratocaster and Gibson ES-335, Stevie Ray Vaughn’s iconic Strat “Lenny”, and a stellar collection of must-see rarities. Get in line early to see these amazing guitars, as the Legends Collection will be one of the most popular exhibits in the Village.

Another great attraction at the Village will be the Ernie Ball Stage, from which a series of Master Guitar Clinics will run continuously from 10:00 a.m. to mid-afternoon. Among the main stage performers who have agreed to conduct a clinic are Albert Lee, Bert Jansch, Joe Bonamassa, Robert Randolph, Sonny Landreth, and Stefan Grossman, and and blues legends HoneyBoy Edwards and Hubert Sumlin. (Clinics subject to change.) The winner of the “Ernie Ball Play Crossroads” contest for unsigned musicians, The Ryan McGarvey Band, will also get a chance to shine on the Ernie Ball Stage. This promises to be one of the highlights of the Village experience, and don’t be surprised if you see other main stage artists standing in the crowd taking in the clinics during the day.
