I met a guy with both a guitar and a dog, the latter of which was the bigger challenge! As Grayland says, the issue is of the extra weight, and also being able to attach it to your pack effectively. It just depends how important it is to you. It would be amazing to sit around in the afternoon playing some Spanish guitar pieces, though!
I just bought a ukulele, which is incredibly light and small enough to carry, but I don't think the Concierto de Aranjuez would sound the same on that! :lol:
Buen Camino!

Yep, I met one also, except the playing part :evil:.Rebekah Scott said:Tons of people with guitars out there. Some of them can even play them! :lol:

After a while I asked him to hand over the guitar to me. I tuned it, played some etudes and after a thin and small applause I handed it back to him.
No one touched a string afterwards.
So if you can play, take your guitar. And if not...
(And it adds to the weight, it wears uncomfortably on your back, it is fragile....)

Rebekah Scott said:Guitar-builder Fred Sheppard (parachodelnorte.com) is producing tough and beautiful Camino-design guitars. He is a former pilgrim, and the man behind the Camino Guitars summer concert series here in Palencia. Musical pilgrims can find his guitars both here at The Peaceable and at Albergue Espiritu Sanctu in Carrion de los Condes... and on concert stages all over the world.
Ours is called Esperanza, the first of the series. She´s starred in two summers´worth of concerts of classical guitar music in the hands of professionals, but she really comes alive for pilgrims... and seems to love best the Brazilian bossa-nova!
GunnarW said:Dazzamac, could it be that it was the same person you met in Burgos as we did the camino on the same time? Off course there is a diffrence between a clarinet and flute but you never know.
Hi Freddy! If you're the same Freddy who provided me with a nice strong Belgian beer while I was litter clearing with Reb in December you are a star and have my thanks!freddymerckx said:You will be in luck if you are walking through the Province of Palencia from June - September 15 2012...
Of course you can take a guitar, we traveled this spring with a guy on and off who played his in the albergues. If you DO take yours, make sure you stay in Albergue Verde in Hospital de Orbigo. The host there is an accomplished player and will likely set you up for a jam session. When we stayed there a friend dropped by with a string bass, and two other guitars showed up. They played for hours. Its a very guitar friendly place.Hi, everyone
I was wondering if anyone has done the Camino with a guitar? Would it be possible for me to hike the whole Camino with my gear and a guitar? I love my guitar and I'm not sure that I would be able :shock: :mrgreen: to last without my guitar for too long. :shock:
Buen Camino!!

I would not advise taking a guitar. Most people want space for their own thoughts and feelings so hearing someone pollute their airspace with personal audio would likely annoy the fup out of them. It's really big headed of someone to think they are so musically adept to entertain a pilgrim on a mission!Hi, everyone

We have left a few Ukuleles at public Albergues and The Pilgrim House in Santiago. I'm sauntering with "The Last Patrol" this Autumn and would donate to an albergue in need on the CF.Hi, everyone

An alternative might be to do what Dan Mullins (host of "My Camino: the Podcast) did. He brought a guitar and played when requested. I don't think people were complaining he is insufficiently adept.I would not advise taking a guitar.
