Maybe you are the director of a jazz band, and the sound your guitar player is getting just is not working for you or the ensemble. And, you were getting tired of giving your guitar player that evil eye.

You will learn how to select the best possible instrument for a jazz player, and also how to make the instrument that you currently own sound more “jazzy.” You’ll also learn a lot about amplifiers that work well for jazz guitar, and even how are things like strings and picks can greatly affect your sound.
