Concert/Clinic - Classic Duo with Two Jazz Masters Sheryl Bailey & Jack Wilkins

Jack Wilkins and Sheryl Bailey perform jazz standards and field questions from viewers in this intimate 2006 concert-clinic, recorded live in Jack's New York apartment. Between tunes, the two guitarists dig into the techniques behind their playing, in a relaxed, anything-can-happen duo setting.

What's covered

• Duo performances of standards including Gone with the Wind, Tenderly, and Chick Corea's 500 Miles High
• Jack's detailed breakdown of artificial harmonics — basic execution, harp-harmonic patterns across string pairs, and applying them to minor 9th and dominant 9th voicings
• Harmonic-scale fragments and three-shape chord ideas, including a Tal Farlow two-octave trick
• Sheryl on her picking approach — the George Benson-inspired technique she learned from Rodney Jones, and the lighter touch behind her speed and tone
• Audience questions on pick angle, alternate vs. consecutive picking, and wrist mechanics

A rare chance to watch two masters trade tunes and trade secrets in the same sitting — useful for anyone working on duo playing, harmonics, or picking technique. Includes the original recording plus a remastered version.
