Guitar Nights
I am starting in Sept. again with regular " Guitar Nights ". They will be broadcasted live into the internet. Just tune into the event for more information about each upcoming Guitar Night.
Personal Notes
I am currently doing a lot of technique exercises with Mrs. Blue. This guitar has really some much more dynamic possibilities in the expression of the pure sound then any other guitar I experienced in my professional career and this opens up a world which I always wanted to explore. I always used a lot of delay effects in my guitar sounds in order to make the sound more rich and wide but with this guitar I want to put it first to it's pure sound and so I am doing mainly exercises and practice work with a simple Fender Deluxe amp with a 2*12 cabinet and spring reverb.
I studied jazz guitar but somehow in my professional life I drifted away to blues and rock and I must say that my guitar soul is in blues and rock guitar but I also loved jazz a lot. But what I always thought is that the typical jazz guitar sound lacks in emotional deepness as you would find in blues. So I want to make my jazz guitar style get this really bluesy vibe but with jazz material. There are some guys who play jazz in a blues fashion by adding blues licks and blues lines. But I would like to have jazz lines but with the emotional touch of typical blues guitar. And that's what I am currently working on a lot. The great thing is that I think with this guitar I will get where I always wanted to be in jazz guitar. My goal is to present the first results of my work on the guitar night of the 22th of Sept. - so if you are interested save the date and tune into the livestream then.
... my goal is to combine a fusion of traditional jazz guitar in the style of Kenny Burell, for example, with the funky style of George Benson but with a bluesy / rocking expressive tone of Scott Henderson, for example. Is a lot of work for the fact that jazz is not necessarily a popular genre. Anyway, the goal is to present such a program to my community at my Guitar Night on Sept 22 ( online ). Plus influences and sections with Stanley Jordan and Joe Pass style.
