Welcome to the lesson page. One of the main reasons for putting up this web site is to be able to share jazz guitar lesson materials. Several PDF lessons are posted below. I will be adding more as time goes by, so be sure and check back often.
At the bottom of this page, I have included a list of music books that have been most helpful to me. Be sure to check the links page for other artist web sites that share lesson materials.

click to playHere's a video of our band playing a Chick Corea tune at the Robert's Music Institute in Seattle. The intro is kinda slow but keep watching...it picks up a lot.
This tune took forever to nail down because it's pretty fast and there are tons of breaks. Our drummer and bass player are awesome, the rest of us are just along for the ride.

These guys do all kinds of great stuff. Feeding homeless jazz guitarists...dirty string exchange programs...etc.
