Harmony Masterclass
Psychology, Philosophy & Methodology for the Jazz Guitarist - 2
About this masterclass
Jay Umble continues his class series on the psychological, philosophical, and methodological side of jazz guitar, sharing insights drawn from 30 years in the music arena. Unlike the standard masterclass approach (put your finger here, play this chord), this is a discussion about the artistic side of music — covering topics that are rarely, if ever, discussed.
Topics include
- Right-hand technique
- The making of a good player
- Dealing with less-than-ideal circumstances
- How to structure practice time
- Methodology and sight reading
- Tablature
- "I hear sound" and chord substitution
- The journey
For guitarists who want perspective on how to think, practice, and grow as a musician — the kind of class that leaves you thinking "why didn't I know this 20 years ago!"
