Looking for something that goes anywhere from a few days to a month for a beginner.

Contact Larry Tolliver via pm
He runs the "West Texas Steel Guitar School" that is in concept a follow on from Jeff Newman's school approach.
If you are simply looking for a live teacher, there are probably plenty near you, don't know how close San Marcos is to your location, but Kevin Ryan is a first class guy, and you can drool over steel guitars nearby at Jim Palenscar's San Diego store, too!

Jim, I took lessons with John McClung when he lived in Lakewood, he has since moved to Washington state, and gives lessons via Skype. He has a very well-thought out and systematic curriculum. You'll probably go through at an accelerated pace since you've already got a solid background in music theory and six-string playing.
He's a forum member, you can look him up in the member list.

| Bobby Flores in Texas has a school and Jody Cameron has been known to teach there. You can google it. |

| I have a great teacher. I was looking for something like a 2-3 day school or seminar type thing. Maybe something like Jeff Newman use to do. |

I think this is a great idea - Its easy to squeeze in a workshop, and it gets local players together, who otherwise may not even know each other. |

I agree. And Southern California would be a great place to start : ) |
