I never thought I'd read that sentence on this site when I was signing up. Stanley Jordan's stuff is CRAZY. That would be like a jazz/tapping/theory/legato lesson all wrapped into one. And I am SUPER glad to have a jazz instructor joining the team. IHMO, learning jazz in general is the ultimate path to musical nirvana. I hope that theory and technique will be equally weighted in the lessons.....I know there will be those who disagree, but I believe jazz to be a musical genre in which theory is indispensable and you can't really achieve greatness by winging it. I am aware that lots of the greats started playing by ear....but what they were playing by ear was theoretically brilliant. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I haven´t been able to play so much for a while, but I STILL get my money back just following the discussions on the forum and watching lessons. I am extremely excited by the new instructor! Pure brilliance on Kris part for seeing the possibility and acting on it. I am curious on what else he has planned for the future of GMC! And to Ben: I would be excited to see an "In the style of Pat Methany" lesson. And, I know I am being fuzzy here, a lesson on "acoustic-jazz-chords-arranging" would be óutstanding! Welcome!
