guitarnut9254 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hi, I was wondering what kind of music people in here are working on. I have been studying jazz guitar online thru the Jimmybrunoguitarinstitute, and find it enjoyable. I'm new to jazz and still love other kinds of music...as long as it has lots of guitar work in it... I have the 150 hot licks that Arlen Roth put out many years ago and just realized , seeing him on here helping folks that I still have it... Was wondering who else you use to study under ? Have any of you ever used 99cent guitar lessons . com ? They have some nice lessons too.... If any of you have any suggestions, please...Let's hear them.. I'm 62, and really only got serious with guitar about 11 years ago, about a year after I went on disability... Now..I'm totally addicted and continue to need all the help I can get...

L5Larry Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Was wondering who else you use to study under ? You seem to be on the right track. As a jazz guitarist' date=' my two greatest influences are Bucky Pizzerelli and Freddie Green. Both have "instructional" materials available from Mel Bay Music Publishing. Here's a pic of Bucky sittin' on the couch in my studio, playing my L-5, giving me a lesson!

Cheeks Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I quit smoking (after 50 years of puffing).... so i bought a Epiphone LP Special-II (el cheapo) used, a VOX 15R Pathfinder amp used and 3 lesson books... Hal Leonard Guitar Methods books 1,2 & 3. That was a year ago.... today i am age 65. I play the blues today... fine blues matter of fact. I also upgraded as a anniversary gift to myself to a Epiphone LUCILLE which is absolutely perfect. I can not and would not justify spending MORE on "the other" brand. If any glue loosens, no problem, i will buy some Elmer's Glue (Made in the USA) and reglue. No big deal. CHEEKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon S. Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm a big fan of the Hot Licks DVD's. They've got some great ones for jazz guitar(Duke Robillard, Herb Ellis, George Benson, Joe Pass, etc..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftgjr Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I grew up on 80's hard rock and metal but will play anything that sounds good like Led Zep,Tool,Van Halen, Maiden, Priest, The Beatles, Clapton, Rush, SRV etc... Lately I've been getting into more blues stuff and just finished learning Sultans of Swing from Dire Straights. I'm not a big Dire Straights fan but that is a great tune and has some great riffs in it. I recently learned some Led Zep songs (the ocean, Achilles last stand, and the Rover) Even though I'm a huge EVH fan, the more Zep I learn, the more I appreciate JP's playing. I am currently learning "Since I've been loving you" I would like to learn more blues stuff like John Lee Hooker, SRV and Muddy Waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southrun Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 If you want to learn to play Jazz, then I would check out Robert Conti. I took a few lessons from him years ago when he was just getting started professionally. I never kept up due to lifestyle changes, the war, etc.....(Vietnam era) Recently found out that Conti has been playing and teaching for over 40 years now !!!! He has developed the teaching into quite a large offering.....and dedicated following. He teaches PLAYING, not all the theory and stuff.....that follows once you can play. He has a few free lessons online to help you find out where you are....... See RobertConti.com or some stuff and reviews in Just Jazz Guitar magazine online. Great stuff and highly recommended way to get you PLAYING. (also many REAL testimonials there......not some phony comments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folkmetalfever Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 When I was young I played mostly muddy waters style blues, but now I've moved on to playing folk metal (as you can tell by my name) I love it because its different and at the same time I feel like my ancestors are proud for showing my heritage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
