Wanting to learn some jazz

2026 is my second year in JGA. I studied classical guitar in college. Now serious about becoming a competent jazzer!

I'm retired and now have time to focus on achieving my personal goal to play with confidence whether solo or in a jam session with fellow musicians.

Studying to play better!

Playing guitar for over fifty years, hoping to get it right soon… Studied Classical, Jazz, Blues, Rock with Fanelli, Martino, Sandole, Taranta, Mayes
