Master your fundamentals! Whether you’ve never formally learned the fingerboard or theory, or you think you hate theory, my approach to music theory and guitar technique is clear, comprehensive, and accessible. Most jazz music has structure built into its design, and good players work creatively within that framework to make a personal statement. That clarity will help you connect with other players in a group, and with your audience. Develop the ability to hear and visualize the colorful and complex sounds in jazz, and execute them with ease. Build more productive practice routines through these structured and collaborative sessions!
