My lessons are focused on building a solid foundation in jazz guitar while helping each student develop their own musical identity. We work step by step, combining theory, technique, ear training, and practical playing. 🎵 Harmony Chord types, voicings, inversions, and voice leading. Understanding chord changes, different approaches to comping, and modal harmony. 🎸 Technique Developing clean, relaxed, and efficient technique essential for jazz guitar. 🎶 Improvisation Learning scales, arpeggios, intervals, and complete fretboard knowledge to improvise with confidence on any progression. 📚 Jazz Repertoire Building a strong jazz repertoire through essential jazz standards and preparing effectively for jam sessions. 🗣 Jazz Language Exploring bebop vocabulary, straight-ahead phrasing, and modern concepts to develop an authentic and personal sound. ⏱ Rhythm Understanding swing feel, rhythmic variations, time feel, and comping patterns. 🎧 Jazz Styles Studying different jazz contexts: swing, bossa nova, Latin, modal, and modern approaches. 🗂 Practice Routine Organizing a clear, effective, and personalized practice routine tailored to your goals. My goal is to provide not just information, but a structured method that helps you progress consistently, understand the music deeply, and enjoy the process of becoming a better jazz guitarist.
