Masterclass
Connecting Your Ears, Mind and Fingers
About this masterclass
Paul Bollenback teaches a system for ear training on the guitar — putting the basic building blocks of music into your ears and under your fingers at the same time, so what you hear in your head actually comes out when you play. The approach is based on the material taught by Dr. Asher Zlotnik to many great players around the world, adapted specifically for jazz guitar by Paul.
What's covered
- Both melodic and harmonic hearing and playing
- The sound, location, uses, and construction of all the intervals
- Scale fragments and triad shapes
- Chromatic approaches and outlines of harmony
- Applying the material to improvising on tunes
For intermediate to advanced players — some music theory knowledge is required (intervals, scales, chord construction). PDF materials are provided.

About the instructor
Paul Bollenback →
Paul Bollenback is not only a masterful performer, but a down-to-earth instructor. His approach to jazz is both inspiring yet attainable. Guitar master George Benson, a long-time supporter, has described Bollenback’s work as ". . .bona-fide playing, unambiguous, up-front and powerful," calling him “a versatile dynamo on guitar. His approach to jazz and blues has a uniqueness unto itself . . ..”. That comment has special resonance in that Bollenback counts Benson high among his wide range of influences; these also include Carlos Santana, Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell, John McLaughlin, Johnny Winter, and Jimi Hendrix (among guitarists), as well as such giants of improvisation and composition as pianists Herbie Hancock and Bill Evans, and saxophonists Wayne Shorter and John Coltrane.
