Back to the guitar at 67
A student had stopped playing at university. At 67 he picked the guitar up again. Within two years he went from stiff fingers to jamming and improvising blues.

See all pricesJazz means being free to play
Jazz is about answering inside the music instead of just repeating notes. That is what we train: listening, reacting, playing a line of your own.
I studied Music Education and jazz guitar in Wuppertal. In lessons I turn that knowledge into steps you can try on your instrument right away.

What you learn with me
You learn chords that sound typical for jazz and blues, and how to place them in a piece. You learn to play over harmonies, and how to build a melody from just a few notes.
We stay with songs you like. Jazz is a style, not an exam subject.
- Understanding chords and how they connect
- Improvisation step by step: from the first note to a solo
- Songs and standards that you choose yourself
- Blues as a bridge between getting started and jazz
An example: from a restart to blues
